From the DP review of the canon model but i think it applies equally to the Nikon mount as well.

Get it right, shoot RAW, good light, low to medium ISO's and be careful about the development of your RAW images and you really can get some mind-blowing good resolution with rewarding image quality attributes (good dynamic range, good color). That's just where the SLR/c fits in, it's certainly not a camera for everyone, it's not a point and shoot digital SLR, it's a camera for enthusiasts who are ready to work around its quirks and utilize it as a photographic tool.
If you are willing to learn how to use it, don't need sports camera performance and can live with the occasional artifact or three you're unlikely to be disappointed by the SLR/c. It's probably also worth noting that Kodak do have a habit of progressively improving their cameras with new firmware updates.
