Actually one thought that crossed my mind was they may get rid of the mechanical shutter altogether, if they decide to use the stacked chip from the X-H2S instead of the 40MP one. May be a way to save enough size/weight for Ibis or the new battery.

It could make sense as it would enable uncompromised silent shooting, which would be fitting for the X-Pro line.

Again, just a thought, not sure how viable of a solution this is may be.

Fujirumors has created a poll, in which they ask respondents to indicate their most anticipated Fuji camera of 2023 and what sensor they'd wish it would be equipped with. Here are the results:

Results as of the 10.11.2022

Interestingly, the X-Pro4 with the 40MP X-Trans V HR sensor is by far the most anticipated camera and has almost two and a half times the votes of the X-Pro4 with the 26MP X-Trans V HS stacked sensor.

The problem with such polls is that the highest percentage of the voters would never truly consider an X-Pro camera.

Losing e-shutter with the 40mp sensor is a big hit for street photographers, the main focus of the X-Pro series.
