  The main challenge for those interested is going to be finding one. They're sold out everywhere and are selling for well over $2,500 on eBay. Your best bet is probably to place your order now and sit tight for a while

I'm still using a fuji s100fs and I'm so sad that they never produced a new version of it with the same kind of features and form factor.

Now it looks like that you only have the choice between: compact/low cost, expensive professional set or gadget/design expensive crap.

Well, it either ain't APS-C or it ain't 35mm.. "35mm equiv F2 lens" is by it's very definition, not 35mm.

That said, I see they stuffed some AI and gimmick filters in there. It seems like a very uninteresting camera.
