The main thing this has going for it is a reasonably accurate viewfinder
and actual shooting controls you don't need to access through a menu.
It addresses the failings of modern point and shoot cameras that let you,
Shoot movies, record sound, megazoom, maybe even e-mail the in camera
"cross processed" images to you 10,000 closes friends and then post them
directly on your facebook page, and maybe even place a phone call.
The one thing they don't do is let you learn how to make a photograph.
Fuji had to go back to a pseudo 1950's interface to do that. Oh, and
they had to charge a $1000.00 to do it.

In all truth, it would probably be a great camera to learn with. A
single FL, compact with mechanical controls.

Well, you see, Thibs, having got Sigma 24-60 zoom I've realized that 35 mm
equivalent of 35-36 mm of F.L. is pretty optimal to me. In fact, I do
remember fondly my M 35/2.8 back in the film days. If this camera is even
half as good as they talk about it, I might surely like to have one. I could
even make it Galia's camera that we'd agree I'd have access too thereby I'd
kill few rabbits with less than few bullets...
Once I find a 24x36 digital camera to mount my A 50/1.2 on, I'd be more than
happy camper...

Yep, strangely I can't see myself using m43 bodies (marketed until now
of course) but this Fuji camera really has something for it.
And what I saw and tried at Photokina certainly do make things even worse.
TLRs/enlargers will be enough for me the time to come though...

Seriously, however, the appearance of this camera and the ongoing
promotion
make it not too difficult to wait until K-5 will be here served in
exactly
the way I want it or even abandoning K-5 as a new camera for me all
together.
It very well may be that this Fuji camera (Cotty's spelling
notwithstanding
/grin/) will be my next one and I can even foresee that my use of Pentax
gear will diminish once I get my hands on one of these beauties...
