Then he needs to have Fuji to make a public announcement on this subject, period. And it needs to be done sooner than later, as a lot of damage has been done over the past few days. I doubt it will get done, not anytime soon. Fuji has handled this whole issue in a less than professional way which I have found a bit surprising based on their past product rollouts.
One needs to remember, that if the camera does ship on 03/01/17, then raw support needs to be enabled, which currently it has not. None of the beta tester reports I have seen including the one from Dubai, were shooting raw. And 03/01 is less than 2 weeks away, and if Fuji has not turned on raw support yet, I doubt they can get much testing done in the time frame, which also leads me to believe the camera will not be shipping until late March if then. If all we are taking about is jegs or tifs from the GFX, then yup C1 supports those right now.
No Dot release of LR handles the raw either, so Fuji might want to get on the stick pretty quickly.
