I don't think anyone can answer those questions, bwcolor - so far it's all Fuji marketing hype.
If it meets the D7000/K5 level of performance (also 16MP in APS-C), I'll be happy. If it exceeds, ecstatic.

I would think that hexagonal sensor sites would help mitigate aliasing.

Hopefully the AF is better than the X100 AF. The AF gives me the biggest disappointment with this camera. Whenever there is some depth in the scene with foreground and background items there is a fair chance that the AF choses the background objects although I want the foreground object. I often use the ground next to the object for focussing and then compose.

burn the box
The French reads that they conclude this from the small openings on the camera body, I think. That is why I said in the beginning I'm not to sure they're right. But you never know. It would be of course bad news for those who intend to adapt their 1200mm mirror tele lenses

The problem you're experiencing is simple parralax error for the focusing point.
Turn on 'AF parralax correction frame' in the menu. When a subject is close, use the bottom right focusing box, when subject is mid-long distance, use the top left focusing box.
If you follow these basic steps, you'll probably never have a misfocussed frame ever again...

Never heard of that but I will give it a try.

scratch my niche
2011: successfully sold my Leica lenses and trimmed my M kit while adding strength in the ultra-wide department (APS sensor-ready!)
2012: ready for the long awaited new offering from Fuji!

I can't believe that Fuji have managed to wind this place up to fever pitch twice in the space of twelve months with their offerings!
That has to be some sort of record surely?
I didn't think it was Fuji caused all that fuss at all. I thought it was the RFF'ers did it all by themselves. Twice in the space of 12 months, too!
Right, like the Sony NEX. This Fuji looks proportional to me.
Yep, it is funny how many people continue to diss the AF when Fuji fixed this long ago.
The fact is that Fuji made two rangefinder like cameras that really appeal to RFF users. So yes, Fuji made all the fuss by making large steps in the right direction camera design wise.

Just switched this thing on in the camera. Don't know if it really improves AF success rate but this is a fine focus distance indicator like in the Hexar AF. You will instantly see if the AF is chasing for the wrong subject. Thanks.

I owned a X100 for about 7 months. Image-wise it was a superb camera but it had a lot of quirks that made it less than satisfying so I sold it. I posted about it previously in another thread. There's even a link to a small portfolio of shots (58 photos).
When I read this announcement I realized despite all the quirks of the X100 I miss it. So I'm hoping they've done enough to correct the niggles for me to spring for the whole ball of wax when it gets released.

this could be very interesting as on the M9 I use basically 3 lenses the 28, 50 and 90. I have the 28 on one body and the 50 on another and use the X100 for quiet street work. If times keep getting harder and this camera live up to expectations I would even consider selling one M body and get this whole system ans still have a few pounds left over!!

Interesting that the other imaging giants have left "retro" to Fuji.
