How about the remote app?

According to Fuji rumours, 58% want tilt screen, 19% do not on the x100T.

I will not buy one if it doesn't have one, but upgrade old my X100 to the x100s which Fuji will be giving away very soon.

They did it nicely on the X70, come on please Fuji.

Any thoughts here?

Im not sure that a really great implementation of a remote  wifi app exists for any camera yet, but this is, potentially the best solution.  The best smartphone screens are excellent, so having the ability to monitor on one wirelessly could be quite useful, especially if you're trying to disguise your picture taking.

I'd actually love some camera maker to release a google glass style HUD that I just clip to my glasses. Think of it as a clip-on EVF.  Then I can hold the camera at waist level and manipulate the controls without even looking in the direction that I'm shooting.

The other obvious accessory that would help is a remote trigger with control wheels for the exposure triangle and focus point built-in so you can tweak shutter/aperture/exposure comp/and focus without touching the camera at all. Great on a tripod, but If combined with a HUD, also good for all kinds of camera control. Imagine being able to strap a camera or two to your chest, and walk down the street while controlling them and monitoring their view/feed, all without lifting a camera to you eye or touching the controls.
