In the meantime, perhaps Fuji will give us X-E2 zealots the v4 firmware. It really would give them/us time to decide what to do next. I'm not at all interested in the X-T10 "toy camera" and don't want to go back to the DSLR format of the X-T1. If a v4 increases the usability of my X-E2 then I really would have more loyalty to Fuji rather than looking for my next rangefinder format system and lenses. Heck, I'd even pay for it. Perhaps we need a Kickstarter project to fund it! Any good machine code hackers want to take a look for us? Kidding...sort of.

Throw it all against the wall and see what sticks.

Very disappointed that the X-E(n) series appears to be abondoned. If it doesn't pencil out for Fuji I understand, but I'll keep holding off buying a new body until I hear official news on it. I'd buy a X-E3 this instant if one were available, but I guess Fuji will have to keep dipping their toes in the low end market until they realize the high end is their niche. If I wanted a low end camera I'd use my iPhone. I assume Fuji's answer to the rangefinder format is the X-Pro2, but I don't want the OVF, the size, and ultimately the cost associated with it. For me, I want the X-Pro2’s features, control layout, and support of Fuji, just without the OVF and larger size. Sounds like a perfect X-E3! I don’t care for the X-T1’s controls or the DSLR format that I happily abandoned. Shooting an X-E1 was my introduction to Fuji and its minimalist layout and rangefinder format was just such a joy to use and I fell in love with photography all over again. I sold every piece of Canon kit I had and didn’t think twice about it. Since then I added the X-E2 and almost every lens in the lineup. It’s so small and unassuming that it lets me focus on my subjects, and the subjects with me. I’m very conversational when shooting portraits, and not having some big ole DSLR blocking my face lets me interact with them to the point they almost forget they’re in a photo shoot. My portraits took a noticeable uptick in keepers when I went to the rangefinder. I'd love to see Fuji do one of the following: Release the X-E3 If no X-E3, then hit the X-E2 with one last firmware update, the 4.0. Release a X-Pro20 (basically the Pro without the OVF) My credit card awaits!
