my 16mm Pancake is incomparibly better than the DUD sample above - Sony really need to get sample consistency with their Kit lenses, I had a Dud 18-55 like that . I`ve got good samples of both now

Looks like an excellent camera with a decent sized sensor (almost as big as the one in the Sigma DP series), flippy screen retained but without the button clutter of the G11/12... It`ll be interesting to see how the AF performs and FINALLY they`ve potentially got a compact which can outperform the G10 at low ISOs (the G10 spanks the G11 & 12 even in JPG and especially RAW up to ISO200 and possibly 400)
A few downers - Movie button right where your thumb wants to roll (just like the NEX7) and placed where the AEL (*) button should be on a serious compact . losing the ISO dial in a High ISO camera like this is a real loss IMO, especially as it`s only to provide the feeble popup twinker with a bit more reach . more clip on lens caps to get in the way and lose but at least they dodged the G10-12 lens barrier scratching the front elly issue :) .. Movies STILL don`t use AVCHD and still sticking with archaic .MOV files - really makes that prominent movie button even more of an annoyance

Not in the UK though, the N1 system price is dropping like a stone Daily - take a look at Camerapricebuster to see the falling price of the V1 kits in particular.. hardly suprising given the initial retail but it`s not holding its high launch price as well as Fuji or Panasonic kit tends to

ARTASHES: There is some better camera-phones than iPhone like N8 or SGS2 , why there is so much discussion about iPhone's camera, even IR revived it !!! Apple's marketing in force?
Yeah, the N8 is in a totally different universe as a camera - it`s like a canon G9 only a stop noisier per ISO whereas the iPhone would struggle next to an A450 (old cheap pinhead sensor 5Mp canon)

Mauro.B: So it seems that Fuji did not care to fix the "aperture dance before actual capture" issue. Nice touch ! That issue alone kills manual focus shooting by adding useless shutter lag.
There must be a reason for the Aperture dance as I`ve seen it mentioned countless times regarding Olympus Micro 4/3 cams especially with the panny 20mm F1.7 .

To be honest I'd be happy if they just fixed the focus shift bug where it front focusses at F5.6 compared to F2 - Fuji UK have confirned it and known all about it for ages . everything else is just convenient window dressing
