  1. 1. I'd like to see a larger sensor without compromising the quality (if not the size) of the body and lens. 2. Better response to noise (#1 should help in this regard). 3. Click stops on the control ring around the lens to keep it from being accidentally shifted. 4. Out of the question, I'm sure, but I'd love the hybred viewfinder from the X100 series. Overall, however, excessive noise has always been my main problem with the X10/20/30, so I'd be thrilled if only that issue were significantly improved by Fuji.
  2. While the X100T is widely hailed as one of the best cameras in the world, a zoom version, with the same size and features as the X100T, would be an even bigger success, perhaps approaching the popularity of the XT-1. I yearn for the image quality and small body - (to say nothing of the amazing hybred viewfinder - of an X100T with the flexibility of the superb zoom lens (suitably modified to fit the larger sensor) of an X30.
  3. I'm gonna go with my original suggestion of a couple of months ago for an X100 series camera with an X30-like zoom lens (an X100Z).
  4. I've been waiting for a couple of years now, and suspect that if there were ever going to be another firmware upgrade for the X20, it probably would have come with the release of the X30. Does anyone have any thoughts on this subject? Liklihood? Desirability?
  5. I will start this Forum with an update of a comment I posted at DPReview a couple of months ago: Since 2012 I've been a confirmed Fuji X camera user, and never in 40 years of shooting have I had cameras I liked more than the lovely little X10 and X20 - not even my old Leicas and Contax Ts. (I've retired my big clunky DSLRs.) I'm sure the X30 is an excellent camera, but I yearn for something better: an X100Z (the “Z” standing for zoom) with a lens equivalent to the one on my X20 (but of course configured for the larger X100 series sensor). This would make what is arguably the best small camera in the world even better, and appeal to a much larger audience than the fixed prime lens versions have. I yearn for the image quality and only slightly larger body (to say nothing of the amazing hybrid viewfinder) of the X100T, but without giving up the flexibility of the superb zoom lens on my X20. I love the way I can reach out through these flexible little cameras and bring back interesting pieces of the world. Will Fuji ever oblige us with an X100Z, or am I only daydreaming? To see photographs I’ve taken with the X10 and X20, go to my latest book, "Searching for Edward Hopper," at: rpkphoto.smugmug.com/Books/Searching-for-Edward-Hopper. The 33 images from 2012 or later were made with these Fuji cameras.
  6. This is terrific! Best good wishes. I'm adding Fuji X Forum to my check everyday bookmark folder.
