Re: X-E4 command dial

I feel you pain, being a Fujifilm dial freak myself. But it really seems earlier version X-E owners we’re hoping for really translates to an X-Pro 30. That is, a rangefinder style camera that is a more compact version of the X-Pro 3, just as the X-T30 is to the X-T3/4. Perhaps minus the OVF.

As far as I can tell, Fujifilm is trying to expand their market to those without nostalgia or need for all the direct controls. This may be because their existing user base has reached its limit, or so I could envision.

I’m ok with it and will vote with my dollars as I choose. I can’t imagine that they’d completely abandon their loyal following.

I think their eventual product mix will be a healthy blend of both types of cameras.

Personally I hope that they continue the trend toward more compact designs. I think that’s another advantage of APS-C that can keep them in the ballgame.
