As I commented in one of the Fuji threads here, I am very excited for the new Fuji camera only in anticipation of the flood of gear that might show up on this site. I'm trying to go for what you have, MrDoug - I have an X10, and gunning for an E-PL3 (or an E-PL2).

Yes.. I like what I have and it covers lots of situations, but always looking.. I love Fuji performance in the last yr for sure.. and Oly and Lumix as well.. what is the ultimate? LOL.. I keep striving for that.. but.. all is good I would say.. depends on your priorities.. If we had a perfect camera for all situations we would not be in this forum.. or would we be?

Maybe it's because it looks like Fuji is making the cameras that we wished Olympus and Panasonic were making.

It is amazing to look at the plethora of choices we suddenly have in the gap that once existed between P&S and DSLR.

I've read some posts elsewhere how M4/3s could be really challenged with new offerings coming out soon. I think that is true, but I don't see it as the death of M4/3s by a long shot. I think it will help/force Panny and Oly to focus a bit more on what they are doing and help to raise the bar in general. Very curious to see the next generation offerings and how they stack up.

For some, maybe. But look at the real specs: a body twice the bulk of , awkward extendability towards wide angle and tele range, and a pretty high price point. In my view there is one strong point, which is, at the same time its weakest point: the viewfinder. It offers a great real time view of the world, but it inherits the rather inaccurate framing and clumsy handling of different focal lengths of a rangefinder system. True wideangle and adapted lenses can only be handled well in electronic view, which negates most of the advantages.

What does one really gain when comparing it with a GX1 + 14 + PL25 + oly 45? Double the price, double the size, and the looks of a 70's landrover. And no 7-14 or 100-300. The IQ must be absolutely stunning to make me think about getting one.

No, it's not for me, and I certainly do not wish Panasonic to go into that direction.

I agree with Conrad, it's too big, heavy and too expensive.

It's slightly bigger than a 24x36 sensored M9
