Release of Fujifilm GF670 delayed until end of April

To argue the price in the face of apparent success is kind of silly. Obviously, the market will bear the price, even if I won't.
 
Release of the camera is imminent, although no exact date has been set. The amount of pre-orders appears to continue to exceed expectations and they are unable to fulfill all pre-orders at once right upon release so dealers are allocated some units and they can send to their customers in the order reservations were received.
 
They also dont want to release to just a few dealers - the dealers who have pre-ordered will all get them at the same time.
Not only does it speak well for Cosina's/Fuji's future production - but more importantly - for Fuji's promise to keep film in production, particularly 120 and maybe even 220. Hmm, a Bessa III and a bag of Acros 100 in 220 and a Gallon of Beutler mixed up could make a sharp summer.
I am saving one lonely roll of Tech Pan 120 for a test run with it when it comes!
 
The more I shoot my Baldax and my Iskra...the more I want this camera.
Not that I don't love those old girls, it's just I'd love a modern version, with all the conveniences.
 
initially I thought it was priced too high, but the more I see of it, the more I think it's a good deal. It appears to be very well made and thought out design.

What will make or break this camera for me is how good the viewfinder is and how accurately it frames.
 
Super EBC sounds like we'll get blistering contrast - sufficient for many shooters, but I'm waiting for the bokeh report. I like everything about this folder: 6x6 mode, side strap lugs, coupled rangefinder, focus tab, hot shoe. Time to find a MF projector!
 
Cameras are now being delivered to pre-ordered customers. Free 120 (400X) film and long Japanese-style apology letter are included. The delay was no marketing stunt, that's for sure.
