For me all cameras in X-E lineup are not up to the standards of current top-of-the-line Fuji cameras (X-H2s, X-T4, X-S10) due to lack of IBIS

I can see why for professional video shooting IBIS is not important

For amateur usage IBIS is an advantage both for stills and video

So all X-E cameras are outdated in this regard

Because of that I choose the X-E1 among them just for sentimental reasons

IBIS for stills is not that important. Some of my zoom lenses have OIS. But it is "off" most of the time. So I think the XE line is very current and among the best Fuji has to offer.

I agree. I have the XE4 and XT4 and while IBIS is useful for stills in low light light, for me I do not see that the XE4 is at a disadvantage for moving subjects and/or when using fast lenses. Standing, holding, breathing and shutter rolling technique also influences the outcome too.

For me the main advantage of IBIS is for longer lenses when the subject is stationary, but my long lens has OIS anyway.

Nor do I see XE4 as not up to standard versus the XT4 as the outputs from each for a given situation and lens are identical. It is just a different ergonomic experience.
