So, clearly Fujifilm needs to address some hardware issues with this camera and improve it to make it more robust and reliable, after all, they are marketing it as their premium luxury camera. I expect nothing less then refined perfection in this camera!

This would be Fujifilms equivalent to the Leica MP, in my opinion.

Where has Fuji ever said (much less marketed) it is their luxury premium camera?

and you expect it to be like a $6000 film camera in build quality?

Fujifilm had a presentation in one of their X-Summit’s defining each of the different models. I can’t find it anymore but in it they labelled the Xpro series as their luxury line.

I don’t expect the Xpro to be on par with a Leica MP but I do expect to be a level of fit and finish that is above the other models if they are going to charge a premium and market it as a luxury item.

Here you go: Fujifilm Explains Camera Line Distinction

I think it's only marketing and nothing more. If it is correct, the X-T line should be mid-level, the X-H line flagship. But in Switzerland, the X-T5 is only $100 cheaper than the X-H2 ($1800 vs $1900).

Thank you for that Nebeldiener

I think the price point margins are pretty competitive compared to the price point margins of other manufacturers like the big 3. I think that’s a great thing, I definitely would not want to see the price of the X-H line balloon up in future models.
