mpgxsvcd: $800 is too much for the 12mm. It is a great lens just out of my price range. The 45mm F1.8 sounds good though. Panasonic better get to making some more lenses.
Come on! $800 MSRP is fine for a 12f2 full metal body if it has excellent IQ (which is likely given the track record of Oly). Large aperture wide-angles are expensive to make and this one definitely looks to be placed on a high quality level.
I agree that it's expensive but it does look competitive to me.

OK, then let's call our Fuji tech. center and then what?
Do they mean that you have to register to some kind of replacement program or should I call just to say "hi!"?
Don't bother investigating further: the firmware update fixes nothing concerning the orbs.
The only thing it does is skewing the EXR-Auto program line towards higher ISO which might minimize orbs in certain situations.
They did add a second customizable button and improve face detect AF though... but I doubt it will make up for the still existing orbs! :-)

And this is relevant because...??
