This is a lovely surprise. Another URL: http://finepix.com/x100/en/top.html
I expect it to be expensive, but yeah, it could be The One I've been waiting for in terms of a fixed lens camera. Nice controls, wonderful viewfinder concept, and likely an excellent lens and sensor. Beautiful job on the styling and controls too. The sensor size and a 21mm lens is what I loved about the *ist DS with DA 21/3.2 Limited. Same FoV/DoF layout, more compact, quieter operation ... can't help but like it. I can do a lot of photography with this kind of camera. They will spend my money, won't they?
