IBIS would be NICE (but) realistically NO in that Tiny SIZE

I want IBIS, I want an updated Fuji X-E3 (but)

  • given the SIZE restrain of the E3 body
  • given that Tiny Size = the appeal of the E3 range finder
  • I don't realistically, think we'll get an IBIS.
  • I hope I'm wrong, but its already looking like a very TIGHT squeeze

Even @the reduce IBIS unit size of X-S10 is quite THICK. cramping that into a tiny E3 body maybe asking for trouble. An undesirable compromised must be make:

  • Either by Making the X-E4 SIZE BIGGER & THICKER
  • thus reduce the appeal of E series (why buy one if its THICK?)
  • or take out the IBIS and remain small.
  • Choose your Poison

Another problem is HEAT!  Cramping a constantly moving IBIS unit into a tight cramp space will generate a lot of heat.  It'll even limit the 1080p video ability, 4K maybe in the range of 10~15min as well.  Just a thought to consider.

Lastly, @what price are you willing to pay for E4?

  • are you willing to pay the same $999?  
  • because cramping an IBIS will add cost, & price it similar to X-S10!
