Apparently this has a splitscreen focussing option, and the touchscreen is merely for setting up the camera, not for the photographic functions which are all available thru controls. But the beautiful thing here is that they managed to reduce the controls to the bare essentials. No 10 thousand buttons to control 20 thousand functions, where the buttons are primarily in the way of normal handholding the camera.
They cleaned up the digital camera into an ergonomic marvel as far as i'm concerned.
This is some brilliant evolution by Fujifilm who seem to put the act of photography first. That's why i will gladly part with my money, not because i have some form of gear acquisition syndrome, but because this type of development will have my vote any day of the week.
Not to mention those lenses...
