What do you want to see Fuji do with the successor to the x100V?

I’ve owned the x100T, F, and V and love the series. But I decided to keep the F rather than the V, primarily because of ergonomic/control problems and it running too hot even when just using menus and taking stills.

I think the F is vastly better with the D-pad, controllable auto ISO settings on the front wheel, much better delete button placement, and view mode button. And it’s never uncomfortably warm to the touch.

Besides a new sensor, processor, and better heat dissipation, I really hope Fuji can add IBIS and rectify these design setbacks in in the next model. And let’s see it soon!

Rather than making drastic changes that could lead to added weight and size, Fujifilm should simply make refinements to the X100 series with updated sensor technology, better viewfinder, faster processor, optics, etc. Though I no longer have the X100 model since I love shooting with my Leica Q and occasionally, the Ricoh GR III, they should not attempt to make it similar to another brand model. The X100 is unique in its own right.

However, if I can have one wish... it would be to add the bayer sensor similar to the original X100 for its color and tonality.
