My list
2
  • Same, or similar size.
  • IBIS. (Not a need, but all things being equal, I want it.)
  • I’m fine with the current lens, but I do like the tri-Elmar idea. Leaf shutter, and ND filter, must remain though — and it can’t get too much bigger.
  • The anti-theft passcode idea is solid and should be a feature of all cameras moving forward — it won’t really “help” until it becomes the norm, and in the case of cameras, this will take many years.
  • Two-axis tilt screen — to shoot “waist level” in portrait mode. I’m “okay” with fully articulated — and use it without issue on my ILC — but I would prefer the screen stayed behind the body on this particular camera. (I also wouldn’t mind if the screen would flip all the way back around to face inwards — the most common position for the screen on my X-S10.
  • Build the thumb grip in so I don’t lose the hot shoe using it. Alternatively, produce a thumb grip with a hot shoe pass-through. (I keep eyeing mine with this in mind.)
  • A button, or built-in default “C” setting, to take the camera back to “factory default Eterna” — or whatever — so I don’t have to waste one of my custom slots for this purpose. (Currently, when using a custom setting, changing the “film stock” leaves all of the other customizations in place. The only way to start from scratch is to have a “default” custom setting.)
  • The ability to store “99” (or “999”) named recipes in the camera and assign any of them to the “7” fast-access custom slots as needed. Also, let me carry an SD card full of recipes that can be loaded as needed. While we’re at it, let me use the mobile app to create, name, archive, and install recipes. (Give me that and you can skip the “recipes on SD card feature — though I’m sure it would be preferable to some.) 
  • Let me back up and restore camera settings from the mobile app.
  • The ability to assign any function to any button. I don’t remember the specifics now, but there was a specific feature I wanted to put on a specific button — but could not.
  • 10 Bit (or higher) HEIC file format as an alternative to jpeg.
  • No objection to a “safari” model ala Leica — and I’m willing to pay extra. I also wouldn’t object to a Durablack finish, fingerprints and all. Ditto a titanium body.
