It looks like a nice camera but I think I'd just as soon use a
Rolleiflex.  I'm not sure if the ability to switch between 6x6 and 6x7
would be a feature I'd use.

The article got it bass ackwards.

It's a Cosina designed/manufactured camera, including lens that Fuji 
might badge engineer into one of its own for some markets.

Price was projected to be upwards of $1500 before the yen soared; now 
it'll likely be upwards of $2000.
