Doesn't sound like a believable rumour, especially since Fuji's been showing off a new _film_ MF camera lately. I could see them selling off their DSLR and P&S business though, possibly keeping the sensors as well, but not the MF business where they're a big player (they build Hassy's H-series cameras and lenses and also sell them as Fuji's in Japan). -- M.
