The camera looks nice, but not the pricetag... It's a compact

It's not /that/ compact. Good to see there's an eye-level viewfinder,
even if it is electronic-only.

So What? I have that with my X-E2. Admittedly It is only APS-C not FF.
The X-E2 is that compact and I have the weight saving I have been looking
for
without any loss of IQ.

Remote control from a smartphone app isinteresting.

Again, so what? Fujifilm have had that for two years now, and I have it
with
my iPhone and X-E2.

Most importantly I didn’t pay $4,250, and I have the luxury of using
interchangeable lenses, including several Zeiss X-mount lenses, and they
havean “M� mount adaptor if I want to use Leica “M� glass, but even
that
seems silly given the quality of glass Fujifilm has produced in their X
series prime and zoom lenses.

If you want a compact camera with interchangeable lenses on a budget,
then the I think that the Canon EOS M line is still interesting. And you
can use it as a backup for your other Canon gear.

My only Canon Gear is a G11. Then I already own the X-E2, and so far two
lenses. I am considering at least two others in the near future.

In the area DSLR arena I will wait to see what develops in Nikonland. I still
have and use my D300S along with useful DX and FX lenses, which seems to work
quite satisfactorily with my refurbished eyeballs and non-pro needs.
