as long as there is (manageably available control of) good light

smartphone digital cameras like this 41mp Nokia Lumia 1020 will do fine

otherwise

without manageable good light
no

your claim relies entirely on the assumption effective noise subtraction is impossible

which we already know today, is no longer the case

restricting the lcd to just tilt-screen, and losing the Canon PowerShot G type VASS (vari-angle swivel screen) not a good move...

:(

tripod a must, impossible otherwise to get scenic landscape self-portaitures (optional group portraits) beyond arms reach all the more so if the scenic landscape self-portrait requires long...

agree
24mm FF equivalent fov is sorely missing on any prosumer Nikon dcam

ditto Canon 24 missing from Canon PowerShot G series, too

I have no interest in s100/s110 24mm powershots, no VASS !

key for me
is if Nikon this coolpix finally gets
exposure simulation live preview fulltime (ES-LV) like Canon PowerShot G series and SONY CyberShot R series or not...

NO, WE DO NOT, BUT SOME, NOT ALL, STILL DO HARDLY. UNLIKE FILM, WE NO LONGER NEED TO via TTL with an old film era LIGHT METER EV SENSOR method (spot/area/evaluative) NOR even need to see any EV...

Canon 70D (and PowerShot G1X) IQ pummels both E-PL5 and GH3, and your GX1, but DxO misses that entirely this is why parading dxo scores pointless when there is ZERO correlation to actual image...

quiet FF/APS-C Cine video already there, with optional mirror-up (best of both worlds) ...only from LV dSLRs dcams or mirrorless counterpart would no more replace mirrored-dual optical (dSLR or...

and 43d systems that later got LV from dcams, lacked Exposure LiveView altogether, like nikon coolpix and all kodak, fujifilm, Pany/Oly LV dcams also lacked for a long while until their m43 gen...

by far I prefer a G with a VASS (Vari Angle Swivel Screen)

QV10B software allowed one to convert files to either 320x240 or 640x480 bmp files, the latter were huge files for it's day, one couldn't fit much on a floppy diskette till dos allowed more space...

yes, I had the Casio QV-10B (1995/1996)
it sure ate up 4AA batteries fast
an 60mm equivalent fov was ridiculously too long for wide scenery or in close spaces wider portraits
