Is the Nikon 1 J2 Camera a good fit?

I'm looking to get a new digital camera but am not sure if the Nikon 1 J2 will be a good fit. I want to be able to have the manual control that I see in DSLR's but am not sure if the J2 is similar or the same in the sense that I can manually control as much as I could If I just got a DSLR.

I'm interested in portraits, micro shots, landscapes, wildlife. Also not sure about filters, can I use them with the J2?

No, it's NOT. It's an over priced point & shoot that you can change lens with. The extra lens are over -priced. The Nikon 1 lacks a viewfinder that you can look through, and a hot shoe for a flash.
The Nikon 1 is hard to hold, and has a cheap feel to it.
If you're serious about your photography, buy a real camera. Something like the Nikon D3100, or the even better D3200. These are cameras that you can grow with.
