X-S10 missing "film simulation recipe" (JPEG) custom settings (C1 to C7) capacity?

Seems a bit strange but I didn't use them much anyway.

I did, but certainly not even as much as I`d like, as X-T3 is still not able to remember white balance shift setting, so changing between different C1 to C7 "recipes" where shift was included (and it usually is, being an important part of the "recipe") is a rather cumbersome and annoying experience (being finally addressed with X-Pro3 and newer models).

Yet the point should rather be that recognizable part of Fuji`s user experience is gone here, and that in the mid-range marketed body (so not really beginner-aimed), and especially one (presumably) made for majority of non-Fuji users, being a great opportunity to showcase it to the new users, too... opportunity missed.

Worse, as it is, it will just split Fuji community further - one preferring "shooting mode" custom settings (X-S10), and other preferring "JPEG options" custom settings, unfortunately both using the same "CUSTOM SETTING" menu option...

And it could all have been avoided by having _both_, making everyone happy. Well, one day in the future, I hope.

On the other hand the new custom drive settings will get constant use.

On the other hand, being as limited as they seem at the moment, I`m afraid that new custom drive settings will not get much real life usage, either.

It`s nice to be able to change SHOOTING MODE, SHUTTER SPEED, APERTURE, EXP. COMPENSATION and DRIVE MODE with a single mode dial flick, but I`d argue some menu-buried settings are even more (or at least as much as) important - like auto ISO MIN. SHUTTER SPEED (when switching to shooting fast or slow paced subjects), or ISO value (when using the flash, or not), or AF MODE (when switching between moving and still subject), DRIVE SETTING (when switching between a burst and single shot), SHUTTER TYPE (switching to/from electronic shutter to stay silent, or be able to use flash), IS MODE (when using the tripod, or not)... and so on, and so on.

New custom drive settings are useless here (as they are implemented at the moment), making their use case rather limited, and more theoretical than practical, I`m afraid.
