Based on the poll results, it seems Fujifilm should work to miniaturize IBIS for the X-T4, by learning some tips from Sony's A6500. And then dump the X-H series.

I hear the people's reasons for liking the X-H, but as the mirrorless wars heat up, I think people who like heavy cameras may not be as loyal to Fujifilm as those users who like compact, smaller cameras.

People who like whopping big cameras have the option of going to Nikon, Canon, Sony, Pentax and Lumix - whereas people that choose Fuji for light weight are less likely to jump ship to the heavier brands.

I disagree. The H series is interesting BUT I agree that Fuji needs to differentiate it more.

Whether they add IBIS to the T4 or not, there's other things to add to the H2

- BIGGER BATTERY. Make it a proper pro level camera

- Flip out screen. This is gonna be the top end video camera correct? This is IMO a must have feature for this. Also of course, add the headphone jack on body like the T3.

- Additional video/audio interfaces on accessories: Remember the GH4 had a YAGH video interface attachment. Add this as a bottom grip style accessory that will add SDI and XLR input/output for more options for video creators

- Additional flash controls to match high end Nikon and Canon offerings

- Eff it. Built-in GPS/GLONASS for geotagging.
