i'm sure the RJs,Kipons, metabones will be working hard on this...after GXR A12 mount came out, there's more option for m mount adapters on ebay as well.

What I was really curious about was the distance scale on the lenses. Looks like there isn't one. Fuji probably didn't want their users to do manual focusing without looking into the vf or on screen...
Or maybe I'm wrong and saw the pictures wrongly. My anticipation for this camera is dropping...

question is if they can implement focus peaking without getting sued by $ony... Not sure if they own the rights to it though.

Peak focus is not pattern at all. Ricoh has this in their GXR M module.
I'm not too sure about that, though I sure hope its not.
The Ricoh one is not colored AFAIK.
They may be able to do something similar, but I doubt anyone dares to implement it in exactly the same way as the Sony version in case they play dirty (like Apple vs all Androids) and road block competitors with lawsuits. (BTW, do Jap companies do that against each other?)

Ricoh M module has peak focus in white color, though it may not be as good as Nex5n/7

just my thoughts only. before there was focus peaking, photographers relied on their own eye to ensure that the subject was in focus.
while Focus Peaking is good to have, i don't think it's entirely a must... but for myopic people like me, it'll be a good things to have :bsmilie:
not sure if there is a patent on Focus Peaking, cuz if there is one, then definitely Sony will sue. but if there isn't, what's to stop other players in the arena from implementing it?
for me, i still enjoy the colors of a Fuji. but other than the adaptors and peaking, another factors would be pricing. i've too many cameras and getting the Fuji would kill my bank account, if the pricing is as rumored.

Actually Canon EOS bodies got peaking too with the Magic Lantern firmware. No idea why people think Sony might prevent others from releasing a camera with peaking too. It doesn't even make any sense. 
There are already too many video cameras, monitors and still cameras with the same feature on the market for decades.

If they did, they would have sued Ricoh by now.

Has anyone posted this "first look". The high ISO seems to be better than Nikon D3!

As far as I know both got peaking in 2011, NEX was first followed by GXR. NX is from Samsung by the way.Similar threads
