That's still high praise!

Remember, X100 is great news also for those who will not pre-order one. It may happen that market sees good offers from those who will dump their current gear to rush for X100.

btgc, that's what I was thinking. The classifieds should just fill up now with cool, low priced gear!

I'd imagine the product images are knock-ups. A 23mm lens on APS will net you a 35mm field of view in 35mm film terms |

+1. I think you'll be able to score GF1, DP1/2 and possibly even some X1 for a good price real soon. (and of course other premium compacts like Canon G series) |

I expect there will be a huge demand at that price. There is nothing like it at any price... |

If it really ends up at $1500 MSRP, Fuji will have my money in the spring. Probably it will come down to 1200-1k mark by the "X200" release.
I'd expect Fuji'll releases the second, probably a bit "budget" version like E-PL1 for Oly against E-P1/2 in a 10-12 months time. Then full version up in 1-1.5 years, or do DP1/2 type of system expansion concurrently. Or if they think there is a big enough market, they might bring interchangeable lens version as advanced model.
Haha, I'm already thinking of future-future models.  But yeah, if the X100 is below/around $1500 mark, I'll be pre-ordering one. |

Looks like someone in marketing at Precision camera has been reading this thread!

I am just wondering - are FX sized sensors still THAT expensive that this camera could not have one? Sony A850 and Canon 5D MarkII are both about costs €1700 - €1800 as of now ... just a thought.

Do you think this camera has an actual shutter? It doesn't need one or a mirror for that matter.
If the exposure action is totally electronic (my hope) it will be very quiet. My P6K has no shutter, I'm not sure about the 4/3 models. I guess the Leica's do use a shutter in the M8 and M9?

And... that if this is successful, it won't be the last camera of its kind. More ovf/evf combinations will pop up, at different prices... exciting indeed!!!

Looks like the battle of SLR vs RF (I know it's not the right terminology for this kind of camera, but you get the idea) of 21st century is really heating up now.
I bet in 3-5 years time, I'll be able to afford a full-frame EVIL, O/EVF hybrid or RF digital.

Unless Fuji made significant advancements with this camera, the current sensor technology requires a mechanical shutter for stills purpose. |

this is as close as it gets to the Hexar AF.
Excellent.
Finally a digital camera whos interface (and specs) i seem to like!
Now, of course, nothing is perfect... The hexar af's excellent active double IR autofocus would be nice to have in this body.- would give an edve over all the silly focus-hunting SLR's...

What a nice thought. Let's make a rumor out of it. |

35mm x 1.5 (APS-C sensor) = 52,5mm
23mm x 1.5 (APS-C sensor) = 34,5mm
Maybe they are releasing a semi-wide and a short tele versions?
I would like a wide angle version, a X100W or something.. 24 or 28mm with a f/2.0-2.8 aperture. |

Obviously posting too much on this forum has also some side effects |

What prevents a "frame-grab" from working with an APS-C ? It just needs a storage buffer and some fast LSI ?
