Yes and No.

i bought the X100F as an upgrade to the X10.T and ended up getting rid of it and keeping the T. The F didn’t feel the same and I was disappointed with Acros. The pointless front dial was also a let down as nothing useful could be assigned to it.

The extra pixels could have been useful but the “zoom” feature was crippled as it required switching to jpeg only mode first before use. That could easily have been automated.

I did like some of the additional OVF/EVF options but these could have easily been added to the T with a firmware update.

So I’d suggest keeping the T and see what the V brings. I bought a Ricoh GRIII which has far superior B/W options.

Holy crud, I had totally forgotten that there would be a V now that the F has been around so long. You are of course right, and there will be a V if history is any guide, and that would be a very interesting option instead of the F. Of course, we don't know what, if any improvements the V will bring, but it might just bring the price down if nothing else! The F is still holding steady at over $1000 right now even used (unless ordered from Japan), and that's quite a pretty penny (compare with Sony's camera which has gone down to under $2000 used).
