I do not see Fuji being quick on their feet at all. It has been ages since the S5 DSLR. Now finally a 2nd body in this new APS-C EVIL range.
Meanwhile, Nikon has introduced the 1 series (not that I do like the concept of those), new D4, new D800, relatively new D7000 (which does just about everything the D300s did, but with a better sensor), new models in the 5XXX and 3XXX series, and quite a lot new lenses including a redesigned 85mm f1.8 and a 28mm f1.8. And they are working on other DSLRs.
Claiming that Fuji is quick on their feet compared to Nikon is a bit odd, in my view (seeing the huge amount of products Nikon has introduced this last year). Claiming that conceptually the Nikon-1 series is not too impressive, that will make more sense.
The full frame Nikons have nothing in common with an APS-C EVIL though. Would be a bit more understandable if one were to say that Fuji shows an interesting line up compared to for instance the Canon EOS M.

Dear Brightcolours,
Right, my comment was referring to a particular camera segement, for my personal taste one of the most intersting, it is the high quality and compact one. IMHO this is/will be covered by APCS-EVIL, eventually by DLSR APSC.
In this segment Fuji has found a gap and seems to be the quickest, at least for the moment, why:
-Nikon has no body at all in this segment, the DLSR DX has annoying gaps in lens line up, e.g. no compact 21 or 35mm equivalent lenses, no top quality compact zooms.
- Same with Sony and Canon DLSRs
- Canon has finally one APCS EVIL, but no VF, 2 lenses, lets see
- Sony has the most advanced bodies, e.g. NEX 6 and NEX 7, but lets see whether there will ever come a sharp wide angle lens, I suspect this since the sensor/flange distance is very short...
- Samsung does not benefit from the bigger sensor size, at least for the moment
- LEICA M, perfect lenses, but outdated sensor and VF technolgy, and very expensive
- Zeiss M, promise of a digital body not kept yet
- so the only mature systems is m43, but I would prefer a larger sensor
I agree with you Brightcolours, that we should not trust Fuji too much, since all other approaches from Fuji Camera Systems seem to be on the slowest side...
All the best
