Why does micro 4/3 keep coming up regarding this camera (here and on other sites)?

LOOK at the mount!

It is VERY similar to an m4/3... it is NOT though!
But, an Fuji X to m4/3 adapter would be a perfect marriage.. AND Fuji IS part of the m4/3 Consortium.. AND it is very possible the NEW Olympus body with an integrated VF to be announced in a few weeks has Fuji VF Tech in it, and maybe a Fuji Sensor...
That's Why !
 
Personally, I'd be quite thrilled if they came out with a trio of lenses that looked like this: 35/2, 50/2 and 90/2. That would cover 95 percent of my shooting needs.

Hmmm, I just saw people referring to this new Fuji being m4/3 when it most definitely is not. None of the other stuff you mention was talked about.
 
Don't bother about M-Mount until its a full frame sensor to actually use the capacity of the lens... All you end up with is a bigger contraption that you still have to manually focus and set aperture. Defeating the purpose a small pocket camera is made for.

If then go all the way, shoot and edit digital. Use all the modern technology available with the option to override manually when desired.

Fuji has proven to build excellent lenses. And they will alway's be less expensive than Leica or even Zeiss glass...
 
Yes, the rumored f/1.4 52.5mm equiv lens... if this is true, and the camera ends up being essentially a X100 with interchangable lenses, I will have no choice but to buy. I've been waiting for a high ISO opitcal VF (non-slr) camera w/ 50mm equiv for a long time (ok, only a few years).

I thought the Fuji X was going to have an APS-C sized sensor. If so, then m4/3 lenses wouldn't provide enough coverage to be adaptable to the Fuji, right?
 
despite as much interest as i have in a camera by Fuji, i would much prefer to stick with the system that i already have (m4/3) rather than have to buy a whole new set of lenses. that is why i am hopeful that DNG is right, but at the same time i'm not holding my breath. i very much look forward to Olympus' new camera. :)
 
No way is Fuji going use the m4/3 mount. No way is it going to be a legacy mount. Like jsrockit says, it doesn't matter if this is a new mount. This product isn't going to be directly aimed at tempting "pros" away from using their dslr kits (though it might). Really, Fuji is testing the market; they want to be upscale of 4/3's but without pandering to the big camera (amateur) market. They want pieces of both. And their lenses are second to none.:) And look at their history: they have made a lot of good mf cameras that were unlike anything on the market.

Just my speculation looking at the possibilities if the mount is a big brother as far the contacts and such.. Olympus Blow it with NOT making the m4/3 mount have more in common with the E-4/3 mount....That would of given the E users a completely compatible set already made lenses with 100% usage, w/o sacrificing AF speed, or other camera/lens functions.

I am just dreaming that Fuji will get it right... It would make available some very nice lenses.... 12/2, 20/1.7, 25/1.4 Lux, 45/1.8, and some nice wide zooms... 7-14, 8-18.... Granted, the factor may be a problem though.... using a lens made for a 30 less in size sensor....

But, the tech is there already to switch sensor format in some Nikon FF models using APS-C lenses w/o any ill effects..... Just Speculation, that's all.....
 
God I REALLY hope it won't be m 4/3 or something small. At a bare minimum APS-C. Let the m 4/3 crap die with olympus
 
It looks like a larger sensor.... I think Fuji has internal dealings with Olympus for Tech exchange... So, the Next Oly will have a Internal VF/OFV per a 95% true rumored report....which is a Fuji design....

Sorry I caused such a stir :eek:
