Fuji Aquisition Syndrom!!!!

Very interesting!

Quote from Fuji X forum: "with 63mm and viewfinder sub 10,000 US$"

I'm already cured of that ...

How much without a lens? I want a digiback for my Sinar.

Haven't seen any price for body/VF only, but it would probably be very nice with your Sinar.

Did someone find if we see a Bayer or an X-Trans-Chip here???

[aerobat]

It seems the 50MP sensor is of the traditional Bayer type. I think this is the right thing to do as in this league professionals will want to work with the RAW converter of their choice. Not all RAW converters have been successful in delivering good quality from XTRANS data.

[Frank Fremerey]

So, Daniel, you guess it is the same sensor we meet in the Hasselblad M&M?

[Akira]

Apparently the sensor is the same one as those used in Hassy X1D-50c and Pentax 645Z.

EDIT:

According to Impress-Watch news, Fuji didn't mention if the sensor is of X-Trans type, but it is newly designed.  Here you see screen shots of descriptions of the mount system:

Apparently, there is a provision for tilting the finder up, with an accessory mount of some kind.   I like that.

[Frank Fremerey]

I like the design. Looks like a dependable camera to walk about anywhere in this world

[Akira]

According to this teaser of DigitalRev TV (1:06 and later), GF-X looks very small.

Very alternative position of the grip controls 

[Akira]

The first camera I know that had a vertical grip of this design (where the shutter button comes to the same height as the "normal" one) was Minolta XM Motor.

I would consider it an excellent design.

I hope the rest of the information is more accurate than "World's first medium format camera with focal plane shutter" and "[...] our G lenses [...] are designed to be sharp at any aperture."

Although, if "medium format" means 44 x 33mm, who can tell what words will mean?
