Next X100?

I doubt, highly doubt, there will be an improvement in the lens, it was just done on the V and it took 5 generations for that improvement to be implemented. On that schedule, the X 100X will get a new lens.

Macro mode like Ricoh GRIII?

What would move me to upgrade from X 100f, I think in body Snapseed so I can work on an image in camera. If I can have Snapseed (image processing) on my phone, no reason it can't go into a camera.

No issue for built-in Snapseed in camera, if camera has better processor (as least fast as mid-range phone).

But, camera maker seem like.... Below article mentioned $6000 Zeiss ZX1 "exporting edited DNGs took anywhere from 30-50% longer on the ZX1 than a Pixel 3a smartphone (a midrange 2019 model that isn't especially powerful or expensive), with the same file and identical adjustments."

IBIS would help but not for me, I think it would help a video crowd. With a 23mm lens, you can select a decent enough shutter speed to knock out any softness problems, 1/100s or faster so no need for IBIS.

How about take photo for critical movement, hand may still shake (walk fast or running)? 😛

I would like Fuji to focus on downloading more options that can impact imaging, so I'd like them to release more film sims, this really isn't a X 100vi deal but applicable to all cameras.

Better auto focus performance will impact image IQ. No more blurry photo (especially hig res image).

I would like seamless interphase between the needed to be improved Fuji remote software and my phone. Quickly I could take an image in camera, muck about with it with the internal Snapseed program, and transfer it to my phone, quickly without brains, brawn and technical know how. My phone can do this already.

Insta360 already quickly solution without brain. The SD Card insert into USB Type C card reader which

• USB Type C card reader has SD Card slot.
• USB Type C card reader act as camera primary SD card slot. Direct plug entire USB Type C card reader into camera, then capture photo/image as usually. No need take out SD card from reader.
• USB Type C card reader also can direct plug into phone/PC/Mac/TV.... without extra tools/steps.
• USB Type C card reader also has different color/label for easy storage management.

As I have said, I have the X 100f and there isn't much or anything I can think of that would make it a better camera. The much ado about nothing hype over the close up performance of the first through fourth generation of the same lens is a waste of breath. I just use the internal teleconverter, select 50mm which allows me to shoot the close up image further away which eliminates any "softness."
