It was apparantly officially announced in Japan that Fujifilm TX-1 will be put on
market on September 10.  It will be marketted as Fujifilm TX-1 in Japan, and
Hasselblad XPAN elsewhere.

The suggested retail price is 160,000 JPY for the body, 45,000 JPY for the 45mm
lens, and 55,000 JPY for the 90mm lens, approximately $1150, $320, and $390
respectively in USD.

I'm sure there will be a market for reimported Hasselblad XPAN in Japan, and
command a premium.
