Most people that opine about the X100V's successor seem to mention IBIS in the next iteration. Ok, each user has their own reasons for purchasing cameras, specific or unique use cases. The X100V does not need IBIS, IMHO. If the next X100 comes out with IBIS as the most notable upgrade, likely it will change the form factor significantly. In that case, I would have absolutely no inclination to get the "latest and greatest," seeing as how the X100V performs so well without it.

Fuji could add three or four stop OIS without changing the form-factor nearly as much as adding IBIS would.

Maybe. But again, don't see why it would be needed at all. OIS is for video shooters and the X100 series is for photographers, not video bloggers.

I can think of plenty of photos, not involving subjects that move, which would benefit from stabilzation. Back when Fuji had poor video capabilities, no one was complaining about the zooms having OIS.
