I haven't read the rest of the thread yet, but based on the described
implementation of the OVF and EVF, switching from one to the other with
the camera at eye level could be ugly in operation depending on the
focal length of the lens being used. Maybe that's just a nit, but it's
one among many. It seems to me that this camera trades one set of
inconvineces, (those of SLR or rangefinder based viewing and focusing),
for another different set. :I'm not at all sure that all this has
anything really going for it more than retro looks and novelty.

There was interest on the list for the Fuji X100, and now Fuji are
finally releasing an interchangeable lens version, called X Pro 1,
with (initially) 3 primes:
* 18mm f/2
* 35mm f/1.4
* 60mm f/2.4 macro
Registration distance is said to be 17.7mm and the mount will
accomodate Leica M lenses. It'll have a 16MP APS-C sensor with "RGB
filter [...] arranged in random blocks of 6x6 pixels which avoids the
need for AA filter." I'll wait for the official release to see what
this means exactly. As for price, in the EU it's rumoured to be 1,300
Euros for the body + 35mm lens.
I, for one, am excited about this camera, which to my mind is what the
X100 should've been from the start.

It's going to be announced tomorrow, Monday 9th.
