I can not imagine the Big D`s getting phased out.
The 1 series has been discontinued, they are very capable but, the sensor is too small, they mostly lack a viewfinder and the F mount adaptor has a poor reputation. The 1 V3 has an optional viewfinder the 1 J series don't.


I have a V1 with 10-30 and 30-100 lens. It is great but only if the light is bright as IMHO the sensor size is too small (as GeoffR says). Above ISO it is very noisy!
