This Fuji seems to be a Sigma DPx done right. It reminds me a bit of my Kodak Retina IIc



(That one is not mine).



If only some company would start to produce simple full frame digital backs for old range finder cameras.

Looks like a camera with the specs of my good old Konica Hexar in film-days!

Nice retro style, large sensor:

Looks like a really nice little RF camera ... unfortunately the

expected price is rather high (at least in my understanding,

this is thought to be a high price camera).



Just my 2cts...Rainer



PS: Nevertheless, a real beauty.

Wow, this is a nice looking camera.



There are some questions that I couldn't find answers for in the Fuji website:



How quickly does it shoot RAW in sequence?



Is there a focus ring on the lens?



How fast does the shutter respond?



If it really does handle like a professional camera (useable RAW, fast response etc.), this is something I'd certainly be looking into buying.

It's not mentioned anywhere that RAW shooting is slower than JPG, so until noted otherwise I'd assume 5 fps for RAW images, too.

Yes.





I will certainly visit the Fuji stand at photokina and hope the camera is not hidden behind glass.

Markus, if you have not been there already, there is one exhibited that can be used in action, albeit under supervision.

"Fujifilm has confirmed that the X100 will be available around March 2011, at a price in the region of $1000."

Much better than the previously estimated $1700... Almost tempting <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Thanks for the hint, played with it today.



Looks good, I like the hybrid viewfinder. However, the camera itself looks a little less high-quality than the initial images suggested, IMO.



I was also given a price estimate of "around 1000 EUR". That sounds fair to me.

Me too. My girlfriend is using an Olypmus 35 SP I picked up quite cheap and it's amazing. I'm using a Yashica Electro GSN (with the 1.7 45mm lens) and there's an Olympus 35 RD in my drawer which I will repair during the winter. I love the build quality of these old cameras - and the best thing is, you can unscrew them and repair them yourself.
