Will prices of older Fujifilm cameras balance out when they normalize distribution of newer cameras?

It might very well be possible newer models might crush the prices for used, earlier models a bit, but I don't see it set in stone: Some newer models aren't fully desired by the customers. Take the X-Pro3 for example, a number of people really dislike the rear LCD and rather get the predecessor instead of the 3rd model. Same goes for people who really do a lot with the OVF, which is more flexible on the previous model.

Those who don’t like the XP3 like to say this, and yet on the used market right now the XP3 sells for a lot more than the XP2, as you’d expect.  New examples are now drying up, with no new model in sight; I wouldn’t be surprised to see those used prices rise further as supply drops off.
