These are better than I expected.  Am I missing something?

I can’t see anything special about these photos. There’s the unsharp, slightly washed-out quality of Nikon’s JPEGs, and there seems to be more than a little bit of noise lurking in some photos. Colours have no vibrancy, and the results are rather flat and unexciting. More compact camera than DSLR quality, IMHO. On the plus side there seems to be no barrel distortion in the bookshelf images, and detail is actually quite good - for compact camera standards. Like Pentax, Nikon’s got it all wrong: mirrorless should be about DSLR quality in small bodies and lenses, not compacts with interchangeable lenses as a marketing trick. My Pen E-P1 stays.

M, Nikon has always had lower default sharpening on JPEGs.  Some people like it that way, some don’t.  I guess because you shoot Olympus, you do.  However, there is no way you can say these images are not sharp.  The J1 image of the Mr. Whippy truck near London Bridge has all the acutance anyone could want.  And it looks like it’s coming from the lens, not in-camera sharpening like a P&S.
That’s what a clean DSLR style image file looks like.  Not a crunchy, over-sharpened file that falls apart in Lightroom.

As far as Nikon and Pentax getting it wrong, will I love the Q, and Nikon’s PDAF will do what no other m43 vendor managed to do.

Pretty good IQ. But not as good as the M4/3 or APS sensors. My next camera will be the Panasonic G3 with its more megapixels, better high iso performance and the nice selection high quality Olympus and Panasonic lenses. -And its cheaper too!

After solving the autofocusing using the sensor, and doing a little better EVF, the next logical development for Nikon is probably a FX “compact” with double new prosessor, three or four new compact lenses (not zoom), an adapter for old lenses, all done professionaly. Then Nikon have a Leica and Fuji winner. Hopefully in a package not so different in size then the Leica.
They can do the same thing in APC, but only semiprofessional. I hope so.
The 1” sensor is logical and waited for. (from Norway with bad spelling)

Nothing special.  Just what we can expect from a sensor in that size.  Only for Nikon lovers.
