  The main challenge for those interested is going to be finding one. They're sold out everywhere and are selling for well over $2,500 on eBay. Your best bet is probably to place your order now and sit tight for a while

I'm still using a fuji s100fs and I'm so sad that they never produced a new version of it with the same kind of features and form factor.

Now it looks like that you only have the choice between: compact/low cost, expensive professional set or gadget/design expensive crap.

Well, it either ain't APS-C or it ain't 35mm.. "35mm equiv F2 lens" is by it's very definition, not 35mm.

That said, I see they stuffed some AI and gimmick filters in there. It seems like a very uninteresting camera.

> I see they stuffed some AI

Sounds like everything else from everyone else. My EOS R5 does animal facial/eye recognition as much as human, and it's a bit of a leap to go from "emphasize focal points on subjects when you've asked to prioritize those subjects" as "AI gimmicks".

The "gimmick filters" are nothing new for Fuji, which has offered its optional film simulations for most of the X100 range.

I have no dog in this fight (currently I own an R5, a Leica Q2), but latching on to this as "very uninteresting" while studiously ignoring IBIS and a 50% resolution bump to complain about optional filters seems a little ... bitter.

You are mistaking the sensor size 35mm with lens focal length 35mm. The lens itself is 23mm. The camera has APS-C sensor. The full frame (35mm sensor size) equivalent of the lens+sensor combination is 35mm.
