Re: Recent launches and future of the X-Pro series

It seems fairly clear that although it’s inevitably a fairly low-volume model, there will be demand for an X-Pro4. The direction taken by the X-E line leaves it plenty of room to breathe: back in the day the X-Pro1 and X-E1 were almost identical in all but the viewfinder, but now the X-E4 seems to overlap more with the X-T30 than the X-Pro3.

The only thing that concerns me about the X-Pro’s direction of travel is the viewfinder. The fact that they used the X100V finder at the expense of the earlier OVF functionality means they compromised on the X-Pro’s key feature, which was an odd decision given that they redesigned the screen to send everyone to that viewfinder.

Anyway, it’s all hot air on Internet forums until Fujifilm say something. I know personally the X-Pro4 is the only potential release I’m interested in (unless they do something wild like taking another swing at the Ricoh GR’s market).
