This is a very niche camera, which is why I'm really excited that someone (I'm screaming the word "someone" while raising my hands in the air) finally made this camera. It's essentially a modern digital camera in a old film body, which will be perfect for me to use with manual focus vintage lenses, but also allow me to switch to super-fast AF lenses with eye-detection when I need that. Previously I would have to have a Leica M plus a whiz-bang camera like an R5 to have both.
I'm not sure it's a "niche" camera anymore than a Z6-II or Z7-II is a niche camera... I think it will appeal to a lot of enthusiasts that want something in that price range, but also appreciate the retro aesthetic moreso than the modern one.
For me, personally, it would fill a niche, in that I want a compact-as-reasonable camera with adequate performance for travel.
I pre-ordered one for my daughter. If she likes it more than her Fuji stuff, I'll probably buy a second one for myself. If not, I'll probably steal hers from her
