Fuji X100 Digital SOMETHING from Fujifilm

Optical VF. At last. I knew things would get better if I waited. If it works as well as it looks...
 
Oh, wow. It's a frikken' digital Hexar!!! (A boy can hope...)

Edited to add: unless there are deal-breaking flaws, this is — at long last —*the* camera that might get me to put down my M6 (or at least, join the M6 in my bag). In terms of form factor, it is immensely more appealing than any digital RF or equivalent that I've ever seen.

Nice lens specs - built in ND filter too!
Looks like someone is on the right track.
Now the big question...how much?
 
Fuji Finepix X100, a Leica X1 competitor?

Fujifilm has announced the X100, a large-sensor compact camera aimed at professional and enthusiast photographers. Based around a 12Mp APS-C CMOS sensor, Fuji EXR processor and 23mm F2 Fujinon lens (equivalent to a 35mm semi-wideangle), the classically-styled camera features traditional analogue controls for shutter speed, aperture and exposure compensation. Of particular note is the new 'hybrid' viewfinder system which allows the user to switch between optical and electronic viewfinders and project detailed shooting information into the OVF. The spec is rounded off by 720p HD movie recording, a 460k dot 2.8" LCD, flash hot shoe, and magnesium alloy top and base-plate castings. The camera will be available from early 2011.

Finally, somebody has been really listening!! If it lives up to expectations, this is going to FLY off the shelves!
 
If this one is anywhere near my price range I'll pre-order one. Amazing looker! And specs look great as well. As long as it delivers what it should it will be a success among people around here :)
 
Looks like the shutter release would be in the way of the shutter speed dial if you wanted to used your forefinger, making a thumb easier. If so, the Hexar RF top plate would work better.

Anyway, kudos to Fuji - a much better idea for retro lovers than a Minox digicam hidden inside a miniature Leica M3! Fuji - innovative cameras, fantastic film, and I even buy their SD cards.

It will be interesting to see what they mean by fast autofocus. Of course, pricing will be a bit stiff.

Is this the imfamously rumored "digital rangefinder" that we where all teased about earlier this year. I thought that it was a Canon, then the Nikon "Executive" said recently that they where going to make one. Or is this just the first wave of camera makes finally listening to true camera users?

Consirpacy thought...all the M8's suddenly going down in price the past 2-months?!?! Fuji...of all camera makers seems to have listened.

Guess on the price?

Bring it on Fuji !!!!!
Looks Great
Didn't read any Manual Focus option though, to make it a truly Retro Experience., now to make one with Interchangeable lenses on the same body! Choice is good!
