Re: Guess X-Pro 4 not much change

Doesn't worry. IMO innovation that Fujifilm will apply to next X-Pro series only limited to :

  • 40MP BSI-CMOS X-Trans sensor

Depending on the details - a worthy upgrade.

  • up to 15 frames per second using the mechanical shutter
  • Similar to Leica M10-D, remove entire rear LCD screen (no longer broken LCD ribbon). Small LCD status panel still exists.

The M10-D screen is a good idea actually but only if Fujifilm can write app that will effectively support it.  My Pro3 screen stays closed most of the time.  The only times it is not is when I make some significant menu dive.  Most minor changes are done using the VF.  I might drop down the display after I get finished and look at a few shots - but certainly no chipping.

Since I started using the Q2M, I have grown to appreciate what a good companion app (Leica Fotos) for quick reviews and quick downloads of either jpeg of raw that just works, etc.

As for the Pro4, the updated 40 MP sensor and processor are a given.  I also expect some improvements in the OVF, maybe larger and brighter.  I expect the EVF will be updated based on the XH2 technology.  If they removed the display (which would be fine with me) - then they might be some room for IBIS without making the camera larger.  IMO trading the display for IBIS and not increasing weight or size would be a good thing.

But we will soon see.
