Hi there
Things seems to be evolving in a favourable direction. Found this through the Getdpi small sensor forum:

With a 35/1.9. Finally a digital Hexar!

...hmmm, if it sounds too good to be true...

Those photos of the Fuji look really not good.

would be nice, but..
Why would it have a door on the back of it????

I'm amazed to see how quickly this rumor has circulated ... each time in each forum the person being brand new with no real source

Its pretty interesting actually, people are just using the Natura S images to show what it might look like (but since many are unfamiliar with the Natura S film cameras they just assume its brand new)

Honestly I think one of the Natura threads we had here in recent years had me actually pining for a digital version ... I still would be very interested in one

That's a film Natura S. That said, I would really like to see a digital version, and a 35mm lens sounds perfect. Don't think it will happen though - Fuji needs a camera with mass-market appeal to remain a player in the consumer-camera business, which means superzooms like the Panasonic FZ series.
