I for one just want a smaller X100VI. A truly pocketable one. That's it really.

I'm not sure how they could make it smaller. The hybrid viewfinder requires that much depth and space on one side and the battery on the other. If they reduced the height, then the body would be wider to accommodate the repositioned OVF. If they did manage to make the body thinner, the lens would then stick out more. I suppose they could go f2.8 like the X70/XF10, but I wouldn't buy it due to needing f2 at the very least.

Good points but I do see an opportunity in at least width reduction, while keeping height more or less the same. That may result in a smaller display but I am fine with that.
