I agree with Chris.

It looks like a WWII Zenit.

Might be good. It does look a bit like the Olympus OM-D line of cameras. I had one and despite wonderful image quality, sold it because of the ergonomics eg cramped size, small squishy buttons. The retro XP1 is light years ahead in handling and beautiful to hold. Not sure if this is a good move by Fuji.

Looks like a Fuji take on the Df

Weather resistance and electronic intervalometer/shutter release are the only things of interest. Prefer another lens to another camera...

Looks far more SLR type than Nikon DF. Layout is logical, uncluttered and simple. Let's wait for the reviews.

This is going to a dslr game changer IMO. It's a home run of epic proportions. I won't even question it's IQ performance, when have fuji screwed that ? Never.

Still think it's dog ugly though. Not hideous like the em1 but not too far behind.
