Where were you in the '90s?

This is a rather interesting discussion.  As I recall, Fuji did not make SLR or DSLR cameras during that decate.  The last SLR was made in 1986.  This was  the Multiprogram, which was not a successful endeavor.  Next came the S1 in 2000, the S2 in 2002, the S3, then the S5.  For those who liked Fuji SLR cameras, there were no new cameras in the 90s.  Therefore, the option was to continue using the Fuji cameras from the 70s and 80s or move to another manufacturer.

During the 80s, I purchased the STX-1N, which was my first camera.  I then bought the AX-1, AX-3, AX-5, and Multuprogram.  I continued using those film cameras with all the Fujinon X mount lenses from the 80s until I acquired the S1 in 2001.  I then added two S2 cameras, the S3, and two S5 cameras; all of which I have retained. The S5 remains my favorite.  Along the way I also purchased the Nikon  D200, whiich was replaced by a D300. They added speed that was needed for sports photography.

My recent purchase was the X-E1 with the 18-55 lens, but I am reluctant to take a full plunge into this new system.  The concern is that Fuji might once again abandon loyal customers if the new system is not as profitable as expected.  How many of us waited for the S6, after getting Nikon lenses for the Fuji S series DSLR cameras?  This time I will take a more cautious approach.
