That better be the best camera ever made for that much money.

its official its 16mp  and coming with 3 primes a 18 f2 a 35 1.4 and a 60 f 2.4

  x 100 styling

This will be THE game changer for the LOOK of many mirrorless cameras in the next 2 years

Olympus being the next in line to adapt a Retro RF style.... (I hope)

If you wait long enough, a popular style of the past, will come back around with a revised look......

Apparently the AF system will be separate from the sensor, so hopefully that means that it's quicker and more accurate than the X100.
They posted one more pic on mirrorlessrumors:

It's a shame the 35/1.4 isn't a pancake... it looks kinda big.

Separate af sensor means phase detection, how they managed that without a mirror is more marvelous than anything in the universe. The sensor itself is not really the organic thing everyone talked about, but it has something that I've been saying for years now, go ahead, check the threads, THE REAL BOOST IN IQ WILL COME WITH GETTING RID IF THE AA FILTER. The sensor will have a random 6 color filter array and I can't wait to see what are the other 3 colors and how in gods name can that possibly work. With that setup, it should resolve right up there with 5d mk2 but I really don't know how the sensor will have a better low light performance. If it doesnt, I doesn't matter. Lots and lots of resolution make up for some noise any day, you don't believe it? Go read any a77 review written so far, they'll tell you its the best camera since slice bread, despite being the noisiest APS C ever made.

I seem mad don't i? I kinda am, this is the sensor Panasonic should have been doing since they patented it over a year ago. Chances are the next slew of cameras will use the same ol bayer sensors and suddenly, if you think about it, any and every mirrorless pro made from now on will seem pointless and will not be able to compete or even sell well; since dollar for dollar they won't be able to compete with the fuji. Fuji is a no nonsense company, they file a patent and 90% of the time it becomes a reality, the others file a patent and it becomes a reality 10% of the time. The gh3 better have the filterless sensor they patented before Fuji did, or I'm going the way of the F...(fuji I mean )

Butt-ugly camera although there is no question the style will appeal to a lot of people that buy cameras.

Non-ttl AF? Hmmm, guess we will see how that works.

Very interesting lenses, everybody knows that Fujinon can make great glass, but I don't think I'm a luddite by saying that the world probably doesn't need another lens mount/format.

It will be most interesting to see how well this camera accomplishes anti-aliasing without an AA filter, that and color gamut.

Panasonic has the horses, the GH3 should be interesting, meanwhile Canon continues to snooze. On-the-other-hand, maybe Fuji is going to scoop everyone with this sensor (although it seems unlikely).

from where i stand this is the system that folks have been waiting for since digital captured the  market

theres plenty of me too viewfinderless or a lumpy extension evf in a hot shoe ,  mirrorless cams..... theres 50 million polycarbonate  mee too dslrs  as well ,

but this is the first interchangable lens system that launches with 3  perfect primes   an inbuilt ovf\evf and the long sought rangefinder body form that is mush nicer to shoot with than a 5 pound meteorite dslr


its not that  ugly, but ill concede it coulda been prettier without a sloping forehead of a previous hominid species , looks wise it a step down from the x 100 imho

but it seriously sounds like i camera i need to get.....   . a 'modern","rangefinder" with a launch set of sensible fast primes at sensible ...camera millions of folks have been waiting for..that includes many folks here


this camera will  break all  sales records , mark my words
the sony nex 7 will also excel in the marketplace, if camera companies just paid attention to enthusist instead of doing a survey of soccer moms , they would do much better  they behave like brainless organisms 

16mp in the fuji 18 in the leica.......... close enuf for a photo finish [pun alert ] especially when its clear that Fuji technology of processing a signal is light-years ahead of Leica  with its relatively noisy Kodak full frame sensor at this juncture [ pun alert again]

In one of the many blog posts about this (can't remember which) I read that the phase detection AF uses reflections from the sensor, so it is technically TTL.
