I feel ripped off by Nikon 1 system

Sure, but if you bought a car at $100,000 when it was worth $50,000 and 6 months later that was exactly what your car was selling at because a newer model had come out, what would you think? You sure as hell couldn't sell your 6-month-old $100,000 car above $49,999 unless you found a fool with lots of money - the depreciation you might have been expecting is thrown out of whack.

Obviously with tech everything depreciates, but the question is by how much and was it worth it at the original? The OMD and NEX-7 haven't depreciated significantly despite lower end alternatives coming out, and you're very unlikely to see them selling at less than half price when the EM6 and NEX 7N (or whatever the replacements will be called) come out. That's because they were originally priced much closer to the value of the internals.

Customers are paying for a mistake in Nikon's MILC strategy. Nikon is making the same mistake with the J2/V2, so expect to see this thread again when the J3 comes out.
