Looks like they're trying to beat Ricoh to market with their own GRIII.

Exactly...

Where's my hot shoe for my brightline finder for bright days?

On the Fujifilm X70... 😉

I'm wondering what the price in the US will be... $599? $499?

could be a nice rig to always be by your side.

DPReview has news up on its site now: shipping in August for $500.

Yeah it's only 10ounces (279g) 😱

No accessory shoe? That's not going to make me want to give up my GR.

Even if I was interested in such a camera -- no hotshoe (for a finder), no sale.

Essentially a X-A5 with the X70 lens, intended for casual users. The price is good, but too many feature were cut. It's not a GR contender, nor is Fuji marketing it as one.

Interestingly they've put a semi-usable "Snapshot" feature into the camera - you can set the camera to shoot at 2 meters at f/8, or 5 meters at f/5.6. Quite a detour I say. Maybe Ricoh had indeed patented its Snap mode after all.

Looks like it has the newer 24.2 MP sensor, wonder if it will have the Acros simulation?

It's curious to me the choices they made with this camera.

If it's intended for people who want more control than a phone offers, why remove the dedicated dials from the X70 that appeal to more enthusiast users?

It seems confused as to what it is. I think there's already a niche market for compact cameras with bigger sensors but people who care about such things probably also want dedicated controls rather than a touch screen.

Not dumping my GR anytime soon. I actually wish the GR had the control setup of the X70 but of course you can program the buttons and knobs to do anything you want. It is nice to see your settings at a glance with the camera off.

Maybe the $499 cost will put some price pressure on Ricoh for the GRIII, rumored to be announced in Sept.

I hope so... but if not I`m ok with this camera as my updated GR. I don`t care about snap focus, 4k, tilt screens, the hot shoe, etc. I do care about having a modern sensor and faster low light AF. At $500 new, the used price will be $300 in no time.

I’m waiting for the GRIII. But if they dont fix the dust problem i will give the new Fuji a shot.

i'm a big fan of small apsc-sensor cameras, esp with touchscreen.

seems like it's a bayer sensor and not an x-trans, from what i read somewhere? works for me.

It would be interesting to see how many people actually use the shoe on cameras of this genre.

That´s what Fuji aims to make money 😀

Nothing new so far with this P&S compact - my 5ct.
