Will the X-E4 have IBIS?

Trying to protect your market by releasing sub-par products is not a good long term strategy, sooner or later someone will come along with the said features and walk away with your market, as Tim Cook famously said, Our core philosophy is to never fear cannibalization,” ... “If we don’t do it, someone else will.”

It is a lower mid-range camera which always has sub-par features... let's be honest.

Fuji has already deviated from that practice with the x-s10's release, so it can be done.

And made a brand new model with a big grip to do so...why didn’t they just make the x-t40? Because they couldn’t.

Technically Fujiflm can release X-S10 body but with X-T30's Fujilike dials. But, Fujiflm didn't. Are X-T30's dials high-cost than X-S10 PASM dial?

Yes, they could have, but I think they were looking to replace the X-T200 & X-A7 series with the X-S10. Adding IBIS to this camera was easier due to it being a new design. The X-T4 was the first Fuji with IBIS that was based off an old design. No doubt all Fujis in the future will have IBIS. I just do not think the X-E4 made the cut this time.

I think these PASM cameras do well in certain countries. I also prefer the dedicated shutter dials, but we are in the minority world wide.

Why would a camera due to announced five months after the x-s10 and a full year after the x-t4 not make the ibis cut? For the record, the x-e2s is wider the x-s10, therefore adding ibis is not exactly uncharted territory.
