How long before LR4 support, I wonder. I know they are working on it but, gee, Fuji. Thanks for helping Adobe out in advance to the camera’s release to help your customers out.
Wow, that’s great! And what’s even greater is that about half of those cameras will be on eBay next month.
And the 5-star user reviews are already in:

Fuji should price it at $1200 like the x100 if they want to sell it like the x100 did. $1699 ought to be the price for xpro1+35mm kits.
If Fuji listened to you, they’d be LOSING $500 per camera as we speak. Fuji is not positioning the camera (and the X series) as Sony is intending with its NEX series–undercut mass market pricing to gain market share to get into fist or second place (at the cost of Nikon and Canon’s market share). That is what Olympus has tried, but failed, at least in the US market (witness the EPL1 at $200!).
Fuji, like Leica, has realized that it does not want to compete with the big three, but instead listened to and focused (no pun intended) on the wants and needs of a very selective niche group–advanced photographers and pros wanting a complementary system to their main systems (usually big pro DSLRs or DMF systems). It’s not aimed at soccer moms or pixel peeping desk jockeys looking for a do-everything camera–that’s what a DSLR is for.
I’m glad you and all the price whiners are not the CEO at Fuji; otherwise, we’d get the same thoughtless design-by-committee, me-too cameras, bloated with bells and whistles, but without actual usable features.
Only because Nex-7 is selling for $200 more than MSRP. Once it’s back in stock with regular price, it will be back to top.
