Matt Laur Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 <p>I am prepared to hop in my flying car and go right to the store to pick one of these up. <strong><a href="../casual-conversations-forum/00ZokH?start=25">Not that there are any stores left around here</a></strong>. So I'll have to have one teleported instantly into my camera bag from B&H's new Wish Fulfillment Division.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waltflanagan Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 <p>Read the other thread on the Fuji X1 Pro. A French magazine released the info early. The official release will probably be next Tuesday.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou_Meluso Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 <p>Yep! the new Fuji will be announced soon.

david_christoffersson Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 <p>I know about the Fuji X1 Pro, but make that one with a fullframe sensor and I'll buy it.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg M Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 <p>Again, wishful thinking.</p> <p>What's the least expensive full frame camera you've ever seen?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_christoffersson Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 Well you can get a used Canon 5D mk1 very cheap! Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas_k. Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 <p>I know. It will come on August 21st at 12:45, midday. But only the the righteous will be granted this camera. You have to rid yourself of all unholy photographic equipment. Give it away to the poor, burn it in a bonfire, toss it into the depths of a sea. Await this holy camera pure and naked and it will come to you! (msrp: US $5200)</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg M Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 <p>Because you are just not going to see a full-frame sensor on a digicam anytime soon.</p> <p>"Cheap" is relative. To some people, $10,000 for a Leica M9 and one M lens is no problem. Fuji is selling the X10 with a tiny sensor for $500. I can only imagine how much that type camera would sell for with a full-frame sensor on it. That a few people would buy it makes no sense economically for Fuji or anyone else. A few people would buy anything because they can, but no one's making one right now because it makes no sense from the manufacturers point of view, which is rarely the same as the users point of view. A Canon 5D Mark 1 is only getting "cheap" these days because it's "old" in digital terms.</p> <p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill_tuthill Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Old Canon 5D is not as good as the Fuji X10 (until about ISO 800), as you can see by comparing the imaging-resource.com studio shots. Both are 12 Mp cameras. This is giving the 5D a huge advantage: 100/2.8 macro lens instead of a zoom lens with many optical defects such as the 24-105/4. Ironic that we are discussing mirrorless cameras when the Nikon D4 was just announced. Isn't anybody interested in that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aplumpton Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 <p>The bigger camera companies apparently don't see this as a profitable market (Canon and Nikon dropped RF system cameras in the 1960s, 50 years ago). If the new Fuji had a full size sensor it would possibly be equal to the Leica M9 (18 MP full size sensor). The latter doesn't have autofocus, but then few other companies have modern f0.95 normal lenses and f1.4 lenses in the range of 21 to 35 mm focal length and a 75mm f1.4 (possibly discontinued now). Of course, small means expensive. If you already have some of the Leica lenses the playing field becomes a bit more level as new lenses you may not need.</p> <p>On the other hand, some say the NEX-7 (adaptable to many manufacturer lenses) has an IQ similar to the M9 so maybe the new Fuji will satisfy many even if it has the smaller sensor. There is certainly a lot of difference in price between the M9 and the X1. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobatkins Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 <p>I believe it will come around the same time as the Ferrari hybrid that's the same size as a Mazda Miata, twice as fast and sells for under $30K.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_christoffersson Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 <p>Well how hard could it be to just build a Leica M9 with autofocus, that isn't a Leica? (that will reduce the price) The technology is available!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmanthree Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 <p>Yeah, but with any luck I won't be able to get that Ferrari hybrid in brown.</p> <p>Dammitt.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
