IMO X-Pro series target nostalgia market which focus on old school photography (old film camera hasn't IBIS). X-Pro series should focus on old school photography style (e.g. OVF, simplify menu, shutter sound, dial feeling....).

X-Pro series can replace hidden LCD screen via dual layer screen (apply super cheap glare-free B&W LCD screen on top of normal camera LCD/OLED screen). Better use glare-free (similar to Amazon Paperwhite screen) B&W LCD screen which match with X-Pro series body.

Benefits:

  1. Camera can use OLED screen for live view or review photo.
  2. When use OVF/EVF or camera off, display camera setting + film simulation info at B&W LCD screen (low power for 24 hour display).
  3. Fujiflm menu setting can operate at B&W LCD screen.
  4. OLED screen can use as backlit of B&W LCD screen.
  5. B&W LCD screen is extremely low power needed (how frequently digital watch need change battery? Years!)
  6. Above B&W LCD screen is extremely low cost & simple tech (already use in cheap digital watch).

TicWatch Pro 3 already use this dual layer screen:
