Lots of great ideas here. My mix (it's longer than I expected: I really do love the X100_ line):

  • Bayer.
  • IS, either type
  • A touch more thumb purchase: a nub that's 50-60% of the EVF eyepiece depth should do it
    • I'm tired of buying thumb grips and/or half cases (so far: X10, X100S, X-E1, X100F, X-E3, X100V) that run interference with rear plate controls and/or render a small camera effectively much larger and trickier to get in and out of pockets, cases, etc.
  • Quiet lens/operation
    • I love the quietness of the leaf shutter: why not ensure it's all quiet?
  • WR and filters OOTB. I'm also tired of forking out money to Hoage, JJC, etc.
  • Give us back a few buttons
    • I'm not committed to the D-pad, but I don't find touch-screen swipes an attractive replacement either
  • One-touch photo/video toggle, or maybe the ability to 'check-box' the drive modes cycled through
  • Front-wheel auto-iso, either on ISO-A (preferably) or scrolling off the end of ISO-C
    • While I'm dreaming, wrap scroll instead of hard-stopping at the ends
  • If it's assignable, let me put it on any/all of control, Q, or my menu if it's aligned with the haptics of the control (set, toggle, select/scrool)
  • More comprehensive custom presets that include an ISO/Auto-ISO
    • I once tried a GR II for a while. The focal length didn't really do it for me - but - I did quite like that (for example) I could set it up for hyper-focal (not just snap) and then put that on a preset
  • Move MCS back to the front of the camera (my left index finger still tries to find it there)

Now we’re talking. Down with this.
