Fuji new camera - it is a vintage beauty

According to Canon Rumors which I had subscribed to my RSS, and then link to here, Fuji is going to launch one of the most loving camera!

Just how wonderful is this camera?

And the image!

Oh man... don't you find it that it resemble the older days of the camera? The old Yashica and Nikon! Apparently, I bet this look even nicer than Leica M9.

In terms of look, definitely I will choose this. But for image wise, I have yet to see it. But from the news written, it is made by Fujinon to perfectly match the APS-C custom sensor. There is a newly-developed EXR Processor, which combines all the latest image processing technology Fujifilm has technology built up over the years.

I am very anxious toward this camera which will be commercial release early next year (2011).

Guess the price?

I bet 1K odd! Do not forget, they are using prime F2 lens at 23mm which is equivalent to 35mm. So there is a 1.5 crop factor.
