(If no 24P I'm out anyway, but interesting technology)


Edit: Just saw some translated info on Personal-View

Sohus

The Fuji mirrorless system has arrived, very exciting if you ask me: (high quality body, revolutionary sensor, fast primes, good price)

- Three new lenses: 18mm (27mm equivalent) f/2.0, 35mm (53mm equivalent) f/1.4 and 60mm (90mm equivalent) f/2.4
- Responsephoto says the Camera+35mm lens kit will cost 1.300 Euro. That’s actually just a bit higher than the Fuji X100 price. The other two lenses will cost 600 Euro each.
- Responsephoto says the sensors name is X-Trans! R. writes that Fuji took some ideas from the classica film technology to create the new sensor which will beat the image quality of all current fulflrame sensors! The photosites will be of 6 different colors and disposed randomly, therefore moire will be avoided.
- There is no Anti Aliasing filter on the sensor.
- The lenses are made of metal.
- The camera has the new X-mount. The lens mount acutally goes a little bit “inside” the body! The mount diameter will be large and its flange will be of 17.7 mm.
- The viewfinder is hybrid (optical and electronic). The optical viewfinder changes the view depending on the kind of prime lens you sue. This again is an idea coming from the Contax G2!
- Other incredible new thing: The autofocus sensor is…external! There is a special AF sensor on the camera body!

I really hope Fuji delivers. Everything looks amazing... build quality, specifcations, lenses. I haven't found any video specifications yet.

Hmm, it says they've done away with the need for an AA filter. Would like to see how this might benefit motion, but not holding my breath. Looking at the design of the camera, it seems designed for street photography/rangefinder users.
 
Mentions an LCD,and I think it said articulating? Not sure, but that could be a good thing.

It does have a retro look but... DSLRs look out of place on sets to begin with, not that big of a difference?
 
i LOVE the style of it. I dont expect much in the way of video performance from it but man its pretty looking. Makes my longing for a Leica ever stronger.
 
Does the camera have completely manual controls (including all of the many cool picture styles and stuff FujiFilm offers for picture modes?)
 
Honestly, is it just me, or does this camera seem pretty good for filmmaking so far? If all the same options can be used for film mode, the Neg picture styles sound very promising. Does anyone know if this camera has IS? Also, the cameras lower down the line don't seem bad either, they also do 1080p for half the price. I'm personally surprised, especially with the stylish bodies and small lenses, these cameras don't get mentioned more often.
 
I find it humorous they compare it to the almost five year old 5d. I would certainly hope it out resolves the 5d2. wth....
