Feels like Fuji is focusing on their new cameras to the detriment of their tried and true X100v. Kind of a shame, IMO.

How did you conclude this? What do you mean by "focusing"? They announced a new camera, and it is normal that they concentrate on publicity and events for that. China still has some important areas in Covid lockdown, for months chips and supply chains have been disrupted. There is a war also going on. Don't see how Fuji is "detrimenting" the X100V...

Also feels like they’re drifting away from what drew me into the fold: photography-centric cameras, small and light weight bodies and lenses, and classic controls and styling.

XE, XT30, XT4 series all have classic controls. Plenty of small lenses too. No company can disregard video for several years now, less they go belly up.

I’m not one to chase the latest and greatest new thing, but I’d take some comfort in knowing they were continuing down the same path. Seems they’re off to compete with the big guys and moving away from the niche that got them here. I hope I’m wrong.

You are wrong.
