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.

looks like they think it will be in the $1700 region

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?

Finally Something Im Interested In. Why Rangefinder? it's the best system ever invented.I grew up with leica. Been waiting for someone to make this. COOL!!!!!!!!

It's not a rangefinder is it?
