It's an M9. No, it's not an M9.

It's cheap! No, it's expensive!

It's an RF. No, it's not an RF!

It's beautiful. It's ugly!

It will kill Leica. It doesn't compete with Leica.

The JPG samples are great! The JPG samples suck!

I love EVFs. I hate EVFs!

I love the lens lineup. Why don't they have an 35mm equivalent??

APS-C is great, keeps the cost down. Why isn't it full frame??

My preorder is in place. I will never buy this thing!

The bipolar nature of RFF continues. 🙂

No it doesn't!

Here's a video from the CES show floor. It's in Vietnamese, but it demonstrates the features well (including a nice burst of rapid focusing/shooting) and illustrates the size comparison with the X100. Also, it shows how the camera will look after heavy handling - lots of fingerprints all over it there. 🙂

I'm totally in love with the size, heft, and finish of the camera. It has that fondle factor that the X100 only approached and never achieved for me.
 
Where is the shutter?

Where is the shutter?

I've watched all the videos of this camera and there are a few with the lens off, I haven't actually seen the shutter in any of them...

it's truly pathetic when listed like this- but eerily accurate- perhaps your list is the confused binary base code for the collective hive mind in action. This list is perfect for the Leica forum too. And I feel sure - all the others...

Whether Like or Hate- both display interest- for the likers this is clearly understandable... for the haters things are not so clear...
 
Since I have film M rangefinders, my BIG question on this camera is: how do you focus with it when using legacy M rangefinder glass?

Can you still use the optical viewfinder? If so, what will my focus aid be? An AF point overlay? A Focus peaking overlay?

OR will I have to use the EVF? If so, what will my focus aid be? Magnification? Focus peaking? An AF point overlay?

There was no reason for Fuji to answer questions regarding use of leica lenses on its product. This will be answered by third parties reviewing the camera a few months from now.

I think it's more surprising that they don't employ image stabilization in the lenses. My guess is that, in both cases, it was due to space constraints.

the Pentax Q has SR, and it doesn't get much smaller than that for an interchangeable lens camera, so I don't think space constraint was an actual issue. if I'm not mistaken, I've read several sources that say future lenses for the Xmount will have stabilization.

Yep, they did say the zoom lenses would have it which makes sense because they are not fast lenses. With fast apertures and high ISO, IS isn't as important to me. It would be nice though.

Their idea seems to be short focal length >>> fast small primes >>> no IS. Slower and longer zooms >>> IS in lens.
Pretty sound reasoning, I'd say.
 
Interesting discussion about stabilization. Personally I've never used it on primes less than 85mm (or equiv) on my cameras. For instance I often stuff a Nikkor 20mm f2.8 or 35mm f2 on my D90 and go out. I get some pretty sharp shots. I think the wider angles really don't need it but shooting zooms may be a whole different matter especially in low light.
 
If anyone finds a promising pre-order spot, speak up.
Amazon now just has a wish list, where they'll notify you when the camera is available.
