The camera is made by Fuji in Japan. There it is called a TX-1.
The are 2 differences: body color: The TX-1 is Silver Titanium (vs Black).

Fuji is notoriously bad at promoting their non film products.

automatically changes magnification according to lens fitted
(0.45x with 45 mm lens, 0.66x with 90 mm lens),

more picture than you bargained for.
