I believe there must be many owners of Fujifilm X100-series cameras who might like to see a separate forum for these cameras. I am probably not alone in having selected my current X100V and my previous X100S specifically because I was tired of carrying around what I often referred to a one metric ton of lenses and accessories in my days as a Canon beast-of-burden. I welcomed the challenge of using a light, beautiful and capable fixed lens camera of high quality.

In the current forum, X100-series camera posts are buried in an avalanche of DSLR and lens posts and are a bit hard to locate. Search by Product simply does not work, usually coming up with only a very few posts that are not days or even weeks old, even for "hot" recent cameras such as the X100V.

Anyone else who has had these thoughts?

I think it's a great idea. I don't buy the "forum proliferation" argument, as forums only proliferate as camera types do. While this is obviously an X series camera with it's sensor and construction, the fixed-lens premium camera also obviously a very cool, very popular and very discussable niche.

If it's not up to the mods, I wonder how such a change would be proposed to the forum runners. Whoever they might be...

This can't be a static thing, new cameras and new lines come out all the time. Someone's paying attention.
