Re: 2023 big year for Fuji?

2022 was the big year.  They introduced a new processor and not one but two state of the art APSC sensors.  One a high resolution - equivalent to a 90 MP FF sensor - 40 MP APSC sensor and second a 26 MP stacked sensor that supports 40 FPS and is fast enough as to make the use of the manual shutter obsolete.  Along with that there has been a major upgrade to their subject detection and tracking AF.

For the next two to three years, Fuji will simply build off of those developments as they roll out these developments into new models.  Of course they will start work on their next sensor/processor designs to release in about 4 years and to evolve their AF F/W.

What I expect to see in 2023 is concentration on revamping some of the older lenses. For example, the 18 f1.4 is nice I am sure, it is too damn big and heavy for me to slap on my XPro and use on the street.  The 18 f1.4 is unusable in the OVF while the 18 f2 works just fine.  We need an up date of the compact 18 F2.   We may or may not see IBIS for smaller cameras like the XPro or even XE. If all cameras and lenses should be WR.

But the major heavy lifting was released in 2022.
