Be aware folks that Fujifilm is a quick moving company. They capitalized on the need for film before digital was a thing and built themselves into a giant and major competitor of Kodak to the point that they stole massive market share from Kodak. They then rolled those profits into digital before Kodak stealing the market that had transitioned and continued to transition to Digital. Kodak moved to slow and is a shadow of its former self today. in 1982 Kodak employed 60,400 people at its home location of Rochester NY with a top out of 145,300globaly in 1988. The company reported 1640 employees in Rochester NY as of year end 2016. and in 2012 Kodak went through a Bankruptcy. The moral of the story is FUJIFilm is not a company that you want to underestimate.
Microsoft cast a shadow over the software world for almost 20 years starting in the late 80s.

They mention it is a ~14 pound camera. Some of the demoed images do not look too great abstractly but it's hard to tell, it might be dramatically better than PTZs, e.g., but there is no comparison shown so cannot really guess.
The most notable zoom example they give is from wide:
To zoomed in:
How good that is, relative to PTZs, is hard for me to tell just based on a demo of a single camera without any known comparable.

Extra competition is never a bad thing, happy to see another big name on the scene.
Best of luck to them!

Here is a video demo of the camera from Australia's MySecurityMedia:
