... discontinued now. So the Nikon 1 lineup has no top-spec model anymore.
The announced special edition DSLR models for the 100y anniversary feel almost as if Nikon is following Leica now ...

Sure, but that definitely doesn't encourage current users to buy new lenses if the system is dead.

Except some stores throw out there stock and one is happy with the tiny and speedy Nikon 1 cameras.
I think it's a pity that Nikon didn't put ore effort and better low light capabilities (maybe with a low res sensor) in it. Certain features I did like - just never enough to get me one. There were the 3 versions of the V-model, until one came out with a plug-in finder. Would have been a cool thing to get short distance wireless connection with a free to handle finder, while the camera takes a difficult or dangerous position, but that would have been way too innovative for granny Nikon.
There was always something very interesting for me and something very odd, like a cool feature from the predecessor just skipped away. I could never come over me to open my wallet wide enough.
I'm placing a bet that for the actual anniversary, which I think is in August, there will be many new announcements.
A new DSLR/s with a RBGW sensor and a new mirror-less system, add to that a 300mm Fresnel prime and a very wide angle zoom.............any cancellations are just to make financial space for these IMHO.
however, it's just a verbal wager ....nothing fiscal!

The 300 mm Fresnel lens is already existing and the 14-24 neither really old nor really bad, soooo....? I'm sure I miss a point but which?
