Mirrorless systems are popular in Asia--not so much in the U.S. and Europe. I think that is one reason for the seeming contradiction.

Right on the button here.

Indeed, it is the price that is the culprit here. The Nikon 1 series actually produce some very nice images.

How stupid!

As an owner of a couple of vintage Leicas and a Leica C Lux 2--I know that the Red Dot can be very alluring. But $3,000 will buy a lot of camera from Nikon. Not so much from Leica.
