I just brought home my new baby, the Panasonic GX8. For me it's an upgrade from the Panasonic GX7. It's a wonderful camera and feels nice in the hand. It is waterproof and will be great to have for birding. Read the specs on it and I think you will be very impressed.
Waterproof is good when having a new baby. If the baby is a boy and the camera gets caught in the crossfire while changing, it's saving to have a waterproof camera.

Both Canon and Nikon are WAY behind on mirroless cameras (with interchangeable lenses). They have a long way to catch up with Fuji, Panasonic, Olympus, and Sony (in no particular order).

Well the good news is I didn't purchase the Nikon 1 J1. The reason being the person had no lens caps on the lenses.
I heard that and ran away. There are no coincidences.

Let's face it. When it comes to morrorless cameras, Fujifilm and Olympus has the market cornered. Everybody else is just playing catch-up.

Well, there is no doubt in my mind that any camera with a 1" sensor will not be the equal of APS or FF, but, when compactness and light weight are needed, they can be quite useful. I have 2 cameras with a 1" sensor, a Sony RX100 and a Nikon 1 V3. The Sony fit in just about any pocket and takes great photos, RAW or Jpeg. The Nikon is a bit bigger, has an EVF, interchangeable lenses and is capable of up to 20 frames/sec in burst mode! Below are 3 images as examples. So, in conclusion, I'll say the 1" sensor is by no means useless, but it ain't no D810!

It all depends on how you want to use it. I have the 10MP Nikon 1 J1. They are selling for less than $100 on ebay. I don't have any Nikon 1 lenses. Instead I opted for purchasing the Nikon FT1 N1 to F-mount adapter for $250, and I use the J1 with my Nikkor 55-300mm AFS VR Zoom (a $250 lens purchase on ebay).
The CX sensor gives the 55-300mm lens the equivalent of 810mm at full zoom. Center spot auto focus works well with the FT1 adapter.
I just ordered a used Nikon SB-26 flash on ebay for about $100. It will be on a bracket attached to the FT1 tripod mount, and will fire as an optical slave to the J1 in-camera flash unit. An full power mode the SB-26 flash has a duration of 1/900 sec. I hope to be able to freeze birds inside hedges and thickets with the J1 and flash.
Below are a couple of handheld cropped pictures at full zoom taken with the J1 and the Nikkor 55-300mm, and the camera with the FT1 adapter and Nikkor 55-300 lens attached.
