I don't think it'll have IBIS. From a technical point of view it's probably possible although I doubt Fuji will put IBIS in the X-E4, it'll go against the 'minimalist' philosophy the X-E3 offered.

Agree. Technical is possible but market segmentation ....

If X-E4 has IBIS, X-S10 selling will drop very fast.

Other possiblity (but Fujiflm didn't do): X100V with lens IS.

I think it has becoming an expectation that all cameras have some form of image stabilization. Plus, a minimalist camera can have image stabilization. Ricoh GRIII, right?

Agree that all mid-range / high-end camera except (price like Canon M50 now) should has image stabilization, dual card slot and simple WR (not IP rating).

Above item is not any technical issue (especially dual card slot & WR is simple tech and low cost) but just camera maker marketing segmentation.

IMO dual card slot more important than HDMI slot in camera.

For WR (not IP rating and without any guarantee) in camera body, it just few simple rubber sealing. I still remember OnePlus 6 (phone) provide water-resistant in low price (because not IP67).
