There won't be a new lens, Fujifilm just designed a new lens for the X100V which has been very well received everywhere, considering the first four iterations kept the same lens, I think it is very unlikely Fujifilm will already design another one. The only possibility I'm seeing is by changing focal lengths. however the 35mm equiv. seems to be pretty much the sweet spot.

Agree.

A new sensor is in my opinion very realistic, it is fairly well known they'll introduce a new sensor next year, with the X-H2 most likely be the first camera to sport it, it's only a matter of time until more camera series will see updated models. X100 included. However that sensor won't be FF of course, it's the regular sensor you'll find in any other X-Mount camera.

Rumours said X-TH will cost $2500 with 40MP s sensor. But, Sony next sensor is 43MP stacked sensor.

However, $2500 too expensive for a fix d lens camera. Only Canon M6 Mark II has 32.5MP BSI sensor, are X100VI will use Canon sensor (but with X-Trans filter)?

Along with the new sensor we'll most likely see another processing engine. In addition to that I guess further AF improvements might be possible, maybe a new Film Simulation and further jpg options.

Since current X100V processor may warm if continues shooting or take video. Most likely faster processor needed in next X100VI.

IBIS is something I find very likely. I don't know how difficult it is to integrate an IBIS to a very compact APS-C bpdy, but I think it would be possible. It would also, besides the new sensor, a fairly major reason to upgrade.

$999 Ricoh GRIIIx (APS-C with fixed 40mm lens, but smaller & cheaper than X100V) already come with weak 4-stops 3-axis IBIS. So, no technically issue, no cost issue.

I wouldn't call a "4 stops 3-axis" IBIS weak. It's actually pretty useful, and it works to its rating.
