Will the X-E4 have IBIS?

No.

Not before the X-Pro4 and X100VI at least.

Exactly....

But the X-S10 was released before the X-Pro4 and X100VI ???? And that IBIS is quite a game changer. I have an X100V and now a brand new X-S10. I do a lot of night street photography and its going to be very tempting to take the X-S10 with me over the X100V, given that I can shoot at 1/15th sec. with complete confidence.

It effectively means that as long as I don't have a moving subject, I can set my X-S10 to ISO 1600 instead of ISO6400 (X-100V) and take advantage of the significant difference in IQ.

You guys are probably right and the X-E4 is unlikely to have IBIS before some of the more upmarket models get fitted with it, but you never know. The Fuji roadmap isn't always logical in that way.

I feel this limitation of the X100V as well, and definitely want a stabilized camera for longer shutter speeds, also especially at night. And I want this in a rangefinder-style design.

I personally think Fuji will prioritize IBIS as their new feature above respect to their lineup hierarchy; they’d sooner change the name and body of the lower-market flat top camera, ensuring it has this feature, than hobble it out of respect for the Pro series.

If they do simply update the X-E without IBIS, I’ll be very confused and likely not buy this release that I’d otherwise plan on.
