Yes, it was people on the System 1 forum discussing DPreview's comment about development ceasing on the System 1.

It seems very odd that DPReview would be the conduit for an announcement
by Nikon that the N1 system is dead.

I can't even guess what Nikon's plans are. They've released entry-level
kit lenses with stepper motors (AF-P) but normal flange distance.
They're selling a D3400 two lens "kit" with a stabilised 18-55 but an
unstabilised 70-300.

Sometimes I wonder if you're actually right, and they've gone a bit mad.

It was part of the content in a forum, not DPV editorial content. So
that was purely speculative, just as some of the content in this NG can
be purely seculative.

Anything is possible. Now that I have adopted the Fuji X-series, along
with four useful Fuji XF lenses I am eyeing the X-T2, and at least two
to three more XF lenses. If I ever buy another Nikon it is most likley
to be a D500 or one of its descendants.

No - it actually was in DPR editorial content - in the Canon m3 review:

Scroll down to the third paragraph:

"we're leaving Nikon 1 cameras out of the list, as we believe the series
is no longer being developed"

I have friends with the Fuji X series who are absolutely delighted.
Another fellow CC member uses the Sony series, and was as excited as a
teen aged virgin with his first topless date, when Sony announced the
latest converter for Nikon lenses.
Meanwhile i am really happy with my 500 & 800 combinations. I just
wonder why they didn't use the CF card for the D500/

Just as there are X-mount converters for Nikon, Conon, and "M" lenses.

I guess the reason for SD rather than CF is, they have been able to
achieve equal or better performance out of modern SD cards to that
provided by CF cards. Add to that the bonus of being able to design a
more compact 2 slot memory port.

Good find! So it says but I think that DPR is laying nice with Nikon
giving them time to produce better gear that can take on the competition.
I also think that they are waiting in vain since any sensor smaller than
halfframe (APS-C) is silly for serious photography.

Have you actually used any recent micro four thirds kit?

They said that full-frame 35 mm was too small for serious photography
too, once.

Of course, if you equate "serious" with "impress the customer" it's a
different matter.
