It's mirrorless Fujifilm X-A1. It doesn't have the fancy X-trans sensor other Fuji have but a regular 16Mpix APS-C.
I wanted to buy a DSLR first (I had my eyes set on a Pentax K500, or K30 if the price was nice). But I read some articles about the Fuji, discuss with some photographers, and finally I saw a sweet deal on Amazon! The camera with a 16-50mm lense was 440€, and on top of that, they are offering the 50-230mm lense.
NowI just need to get myself a prime lense. But Fuji lenses are quite expensive, so I'll probably buy an old lense and get an adaptater for the Fuji.

Congrats! I hear an awful lot of great things about the Fujis.
I lust after the X100S, but that's a lot of coin.
I'll take 911 RS for $5000

Nice! Fuji lenses are pricey, but that's because they're quite nice. If you do go the MF route, I recommend picking one mount and sticking to it. Canon FD is a good mount with a lot of lens choices, as is Pentax K-mount. I would recommend primes specifically, as the technology behind zoom lenses has gotten a lot more advanced, so only a few zooms can really compete with quality modern offerings.

Thanks for the advice! I know the price of the Fuji lenses is justified, but they are a bit pricey for me.
I planing on getting 35 or 50mm f/1.8 or the likes.

I've played with it a little bit today, great pictures, even in low light. Great camera all around.
