Viewfinder examples

Given its battery:

1. The EVF or even EVF's overlays on the OVF will consume a looot of battery…
2. The AF will never be as fast as the Olympus E-Px series or Panasonic GF1… Although, if it is as good as the Ricoh GR D III, that would already be something.

I just want a vf with framelines and meter guide.. That's it. My M6TTL tells me everything I need to know.

Ok. How about an option to turn everything off in the finder except the framelines?

Had a thought. How many of these will have a red dot put on the front? Poor mans M9 fake. :D

I based my statement after comparing the voltage of both batteries:

GF1: 7.x V
X100: 3.x V

While the battery of the X100 has to power one and only lens -- compared to the GF1 which has to power many, including zooms --, the GF1 with its 40mm kit lens is optically close to the X100's 35mm (i.e. in the number of elements and size).

Now, I am not a camera engineer so I am definitively out of my lane, yet, I'm pretty sure it's not going to be as fast as the GF1 nor its Pen counterparts. Time will tell.

I really don't think battery voltage has much to do with it at all. Total number of shots, maybe, but AF speed is doubtful. Especially since several cameras now have improved their AF speed with firmware only, no battery upgrades, there is at least partially the implementation of technique and technology to do with AF speed, rather than raw electrical power.

I like the minimal view. I want to see all that info. I can especially see the DOF scale becoming like 2nd skin, getting used to judging distances and dialing it in fast. I don't want to take the camera away from my eye to see to change shutter speed or memorize how many clicks I was away from a certain aperture.
 
Couple more observations:

This shot looks like you can set ISO to auto, and the maximum ISO it should be allowed to go to, and the minimum shutter speed.

This shot looks like where you assign what the Fn button controls, and it looks like you have to pick one thing (in this image it's ISO)

Here is where you set the focus ring to work CW or CCW, and whether the AF/AE lock button should do both or just one. (I'm assuming). I like to use the AE button to lock focus, but for exposure to be determined at my recompose, so I like this.

This one is really cool, as it looks like what options you can set the Fn button to control. If auto ISO provides to be useful enough, one could easily use the Fn button for AF changes or the ND filter. I'm assuming this is what the fujiguys meant when they said you could use the Fn button then the jog dial to change the AF area.
