I would prefer a 24mm f2.0 in 35mm format. 
FUJI Large Sensor Compact
- Thread starter K3N
- Start date
If this model is popular, Canon or Nikon will have similiar models. Maybe we will have a Canon F1.
Nikon maybe but I doubt Canon. They did not even bothered during the film days......

Size wise not as small as Leica X1 and Oly EP1.

The X100 measurement is almost the same as the Olympus 35SP fixed lens film camera which was very poplular.
The size is fine in my opinion. In fact probably better handling. But we'll see. :think:

1k USD RRP? Probably 900 USD, or about 1.2k SGD ++. Cool!

Hi, what does 24mm in 35mm format means? Will this camera also come with a 35mm lens?

If this model is popular, Fuji may come out with a 50mm (FF format)

This term 35mm format is often used wrongly because there is no such format.
24mm refers to the focal length of the lens produced for '135' film/sensor format. The format began as the "135" film format introduced by Kodak. The film width is 35mm and the image size is 24mm X 36mm, and because of its popularity became the d'facto standard. Thus today's Full Frame DSLR sensor size, about the size of the 135 film format, approximately 24mm x 36mm, is considered 1:1 (cropped ratio). Smaller sensors, APS-H, APS-C, 4/3, m4/3 are all measured in cropped ratio against the 135 standard.
So a 24mm focal length lens produced for the 135 format, if used in an APS-C camera the FOV of the lens will be 24mm x 1.5 or 1.6, which will approximate to 35mm.
Google "film format". Hope this helps

The aim of all PnS camera manufacturers is to push their tiny sensors up to performance of APS-C size sensors. They are using the APS-C now, so no need to use a smaller EXR sensor.
They retained the EXR proessing engine though.
But of course, future development may result with an APS-C sized sensor with EXR enhancements. That would push the envelope up a notch or 2 !
And I must admit I am very intrigued with this camera. Too bad I already have the Sony NEX5. But if the 23mm proves to be an all rounder performer, I would not mind dropping the NEX for this but I find myself using the 18-55 alot for the NEX. Fuji should have allowed for lens change. Afterall, their chassis is already so thick, so the design should be able to accomodate.

Fixed lens has its advantage in terms of IQ and maintenance. I will most likely carry such a camera more often for casual and carefree use like most social functions and travels. If I do aniticpate use of different focal lengths, then my FF will come along together with this. In time to come, for enthusiasts like me, such a camera will be good for me for at least 90% of the time, 1 camera, 1 lens, 1 filter, 1 small dry cabi, 1 half leather case and stripe and no big bag, not forgetting, 1 small tripod if necessary. That was what I used from 1980 to 2000, just 1 camera.

My sentiments exactly. That was the reason why I went for the NEX5 to replace my PnS. However, even with 16mm f/2.8 prime, the camera is a little too big. If the Fuji is smaller, than can consider replacing it with the Fuji. For my other needs, there's still my Pentax K-x.
