Guys, the X-E4 is most certainly not coming with IBIS. No, I am not a Fuji insider or anything, but this has to be an extremely obvious expectation.

You want a mid-range Fuji with IBIS? Well, Fujifilm just released the X-S10 for you. C'mon guys.. Fuji had to make it with a bigger grip than usual to accommodate for IBIS. They had to move the battery to that grip to allow for IBIS.

You say: "but other competitors already have IBIS in smaller bodies so why can't Fuji do it?"

Well, Fuji will eventually be able to squeeze IBIS in smaller bodies. They just aren't there yet. The X-E4 is coming in a couple months. There's not enough time between the X-S10 and the X-E4 to develop a newer and smaller IBIS.

One more thing: the X-E series has never been a series to introduce new technology. Never has been and never will be.

So here I am saying it again: the X-E4 is definitely and certainly not coming with IBIS.

And if it does come with IBIS, I promise I am gonna change my username to SlowNeo.

Agree. Fuji also is a little more conservative with their IBIS and THANKFULLY pays great attention to the shutter design with their IBIS.  I'd much rather have a camera without IBIS than a small one with IBIS and shutter shock issues.  Frankly, for me, 75% of my images have a moving subject (sports or kids) so I'm not too bothered about having IBIS. I may be one of the few that doesn't want it in the XE4.  I'd just like a camera just like my XE3 with the amazing AF goodness of my X-T3 (w/ new FW). Tilting screen might be nice too.
