Intrigued by the f1.4 idea. It would make the camera bigger, but even more awesome in low light. I don't really need the Ti build or the resolution, although they'd be nice to have.

X-100F controls (D pad) and f1.4 and that's a camera I could run for a couple decades.

If size didn't matter, solution already exist: X-Pro 2 (with D-Pad) + XF 23mm F1.4.

X-Pro 2 just released at 2016, no yet passed a decades.

Well first of all, that lens isn't WR...leaf shutter...ND filter...tilt screen etc

Agreed. Please wish Fujiflm design next X100/X-Pro better :

  1. IPX Rating lens which has 2 layers : inner layer : glass (has IS) and focus motor in 100% seal cylinder (similar to cheap vacuum flask); outer layer - aperture/manual rings are independent from inner layers, detect ring rotation via magnetic sensor in inner layer.
  2. IPX Rating camera body : made from one block of magnesium alloy (unibody). Dial/button just some replacable metal, detect rotation via magnetic sensor inside body.
  3. Sony FX6's electronic variable ND filter instead of fixed film ND https://youtu.be/-UKR8DZ7a8Y
  4. Dual/triple native ISO (beside current dual gain) - The native ISO of 100 is ideal for scenes with on‑set lighting. The secondary high base ISO of 3200 is perfect when shooting in dimly lit environments.
  5. TicWatch smartwatch's dual layer display tech for replace X-Pro 3 hidden LCD : B&W LCD screen for display basic setting & film simulation; Color AMOLED for live view/review photo https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/64851557
  6. Better touch screen menu - similar to BMPCC 4/6K.
  7. Solve worst smartphone connectivity app - open camera API so that other talent programmer can built app for Fujifilm.
  8. Replacable screen modular - consumer can purchase & assembly either X-T3's 3 way tilting screen or X-T4 FAS screen mod.
  9. Larger X-T3's EVF - LCD has small corner notch (similar to iPhone X) for put larger EVF.
  10. Solve lack of customize button - E-Ink top plate on top of fully customizable larger dials https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/64808265
