Re: Care to support that theory with some real data...?

You knew things got real when Sony stopped making the A7C and most of its APS-C lineup as well.

I think it's fair to say Fuji is facing similar issues, but this is distinct from the retro dials crowd (myself among them) feeling left out by all the new PASM models.

Probably, when Fuji releases some new models with real dials, used model prices will decrease because, if they feature the new sensors and processors, the differences will likely be very real and notably upgrade-worthy.

I'd like to get an X-100F because it's the same sensor and processor as my X-H1 so I'm quite familiar with it, plus the X-100T is just too slow at focusing in lower light.  I'm missing shots that I really shouldn't be missing, like the AF box is green around the thing that should be in focus but the picture comes out blurry, I have to acquire focus several times.  X-H1 isn't perfect but it's a lot more sure of itself..  but anyway..  looks like this won't be happening this fall, as used prices for them are stratospheric if you can even find one.
