Have to agree it will be hard to resist. I went completely Fuji last year as it meets my requirements these days.I always said that I would not be interested in such an SLR style camera from Fuji - but now after seeing a real picture it will also be hard to resist for me!
Slowly Fuji is moving into a direction which makes me wonder if I should completely switch camps to X mount from m43 - obvious advantage is IQ and larger sensor size. And then using a camera like the XT1 would also fit better to the larger and heavier super telephoto zooms .....
Great move by Fuji anyway!
But it will have the Fuji sensor, which IMHO performs superiorAnother thing that will be difficult is not to compare it with the Df. Here is a camera that is designed with "retro" controls from the start, is smaller and lighter, half the price, has current lenses with an aperture ring, features split screen for manual focusing (although electronic), can emulate a 35mm camera with legacy lenses and a Speed Booster.
It won't have an optical viewfinder and obviously not the Nikon sensor, but, but, but...
More buts please and then I can maybe put my credit card away.Another thing that will be difficult is not to compare it with the Df.

Just to clarify, I think the XE2 they got already right. I had the XPro1 and could not get friend with it, but the XE2 ticks almost all the boxes. So if the XT1 is topping on that with maybe a slightly larger EVF then it is already poised to become a winner - especially if priced between XPro1 and XE2.What had Fuji`s X10, X100, X-Pro1, XE-1 in common? Exactly, they made all early adopters beta testers.
Manual controls, ergonomics, looks, lenses, everything is done right. But......
I still have the 18, 35, 60, 18-55mm in the closet. So let`s hope they got this one right from the go.
I think it is rather complementary. They seem to be different beasts - XE2 if you really like small all in one, XT1 if sou prefer larger (better for handling longer and heavier lenses and hopefully larger EVF etc).Would this kill the market for X-E2?
I hear you. And if it is building on the XE-2 and improving from there I might be very tempted. Any information on the sensor, 20MP or still 16?Just to clarify, I think the XE2 they got already right. I had the XPro1 and could not get friend with it, but the XE2 ticks almost all the boxes.

Rumor sites are saying same sensor as X-E2. I was hoping for something near 20-24MP.I hear you. And if it is building on the XE-2 and improving from there I might be very tempted. Any information on the sensor, 20MP or still 16?
I was hoping the same, but I think we will have to wait for this to happen till the XPro2.Rumor sites are saying same sensor as X-E2. I was hoping for something near 20-24MP.
Peter, this is how I'm seeing it as well. I have the X-E2 and like it very much, but there are times that I'd like to have this DSLR form factor and handling. I love that Fuji are using retro-style controls. To me, they are far superior to many modern button and menu control configs.I think it is rather complementary.

The Df left me cold after trying out its ergonomics. The locking buttons that they used totally got in my way.Another thing that will be difficult is not to compare it with the Df.
