This camera looks great, I hope they don't price it too high.  They claim the sensor could match or be superior to full frame cameras but I won't beleive it untill I see a few tests.  If it's as good as they claim, I dread to think how much people will pay for it.

If the claim is true that's pretty interesting.

Imagine if they made a full frame or medium format sensor with that design.

Looking at these sample images, I don't think it comes close to the 5DMKII.

The only claim I've seen about being superior to full frame is specifically related to resolution.  As a camera being compared to the 5D MkII I'd say the differences in operation, lens choices, and ergonomics will be a much bigger practical difference than sensor performance.  To me the statement from Fuji (on sensor performance) is more about taking their camera seriously than saying it is a good alternative to a 5D MkII.  They are very different systems - designed for different things.

I don't think this system is targeted at your typical microstock shooter :)  Very interesting, though !

I'm confused about the whole rangefinder thing. Why would I want one of these?
