According to trusted sources Fuji will announce a new X-M1(?) entry level camera on June 25. This will be a sort of little X-E1 sister without viewfinder but with tillable LCD screen. Also two lenses, the 27mm pancake and a new 16-50mm zoom will be announced along the camera.
I have been told the camera is 30% cheaper than the already discounted Fuji X-E1 (priced at $800 now).
Reminder: Samsung will announce the NX tomorrow (June 20), Sony will announce the RX1R and RX100MII on June 27.

Price including kit zoom lens? optional EVF? If lens quality is good enough, it could be a good deal, but there is some strong competition out there. Let´s wait and see.
$30 less for body only option? so the EVF is only worth $30? they need to price this at the $5-600 range to compete with the low end sony, olympus and panasonic
This camera is probably APSC and so its competition is Sony NEX and Samsung NX. Canon M is not worth considering. I guess price is for the kit with 16-50 lens.
Admin: did you correct it? I think first it was “30$ cheaper” and then “30% cheaper”… very different
I’ll like to see how this can compare to samsung nx300 which is at present, imho, the best mirrorless w/o EVF.
I heard lens is named XF. This probably is a manually actioned collapsible lens, like that in Fuji XF camera.
