9.V.III

HEIF support should be Fuji's #1 priority.
 
JPEG is seriously obsolete compared to the new format and it's a real shame that we don't have options to shoot with Fuji in HEIF right now.

This probably has a lot more todo with future Video features than photography, maybe the new Super X mount camera that was rumoured.
 
In photography IBIS has limited usefulness (same as OIS on <100mm lens), being able to hand hold a shot at 1/4 second using a 35mm lens is of little use unless your subject is stationary
You may not have camera shake but you replace that with motion blur.
 
I honestly can't think of a usage for IBIS for photography, that the 16-50, 18-55, or 18-135 lens can not do with their OIS
Architecture or landscape shots at night without a tripod, since you are using F8/11/16/22 to get the required DOF all those can be done with lens with OIS that are available now.
 
Don't get me wrong for handheld video it will be great, but for photography I can not see the point other than a tick box item

Everything you've said is obviously a facade, this is nothing but sad excuses to convince yourself not to upgrade (or more likely you want to find an excuse to purchase of a different brand).
Of course you're not wrong to keep using the same camera but all you're doing right now is complaining about everything with no sense of direction or logic and sitting here blasting Fuji when all they're doing is listening to consumers and improving their system. Maybe that's not first degree trolling but it's not far off.
 
1. The X-E3 has just as many dials as the X-E1/2 and X-Pro1.
2. If you think the existance of an "Auto" mode is a bad thing you should join a Leica club. Having an easily accessible "Auto" switch is a legitimate improvement to any camera (a.k.a. Bigfoot Mode).
3. Here's where I know you're trolling. The X-E3 is getting the Joystick the same as the X-T2 and X-Pro2, but you complain about the lack of a D-Pad? The most common "low end" feature of "entry level" cameras?
That's some fantastic mental gymnastics.
4. Again, the X-E3 has no fewer manual controls than the X-E2 or your own X-E1, it is simply a superior camera to anything Fuji has made before.
If you don't like a touchscreen you never have to use it, but the way you're acting makes it sound like adding more features is ruining Fuji, this has got to be one of the worst cases of "Kids Get Off My Lawn" syndrome that I've ever seen.

Wow, after reading those last two comments my computer screen got saturated with enough negatively charged energy it sucked the cat right off my desk.
 
Statler and Waldorf would be proud of you guys.

I just saw the "why don't people buy Fuji" poll and didn't find any really adequate options, so I thought I'd go into more detail in the forums. This thread seems to be close enough to the same topic.
 
I was pretty hyped for the X-T2 all the way until I found out that the live feed in the viewfinder only works up to 5fps. For fast action, that effectively makes the camera no better than an entry level SLR. Apparently Sony has viewfinders that keep a lag free image in the viewfinder even at a 24fps burst.
I still want a Fuji, but I can't look at the X-T2 without feeling like it's crippled or unfinished. Fuji should continue to work on the overall user interface as well, I'm not a fan of the funky three quarters articulating screen, and it should be a touchscreen. Hopefully their next mid-range body is a well rounded device.

Even the pancakes stick out way farther than the current grips do, there is no actual use scenario where you would lose portability by having a moderately sized grip.

While a slight increase in capacity would be appreciated, really Fuji should be designing cameras with batteries that are twice as big.
 
Really all these mirrorless cameras should be "L" shaped with super large batteries in the grip, having a large grip sticking out the front doesn't actually impact portability because lenses always stick out at least an inch or two anyways.
And it would make the cameras much more comfortable and secure to hold, I'm really surprised so many flat faced cameras made it to market, keeping the grip flat doesn't improve the user experience in any way.

We all know that Medium Format is the last frontier in image quality, eventually it will be standard for every studio that can afford it.
If they could make a seamless quad APS-C sensor design it would probably cut a few thousand dollars off the price. It might even be cheaper than Full Frame at that point.
But really it would make more sense to use vertical slices for a sensor array, first off you don't want a seam at the very center, and secondly the smaller they make each sensor the cheaper it will be, and at least it sounds better to keep the chips symmetrical.
Alternatively, if BSI chips can be layed out in a grid without interfering with each other then you could panel as many tiny chips together as you could want, and it would be BSI, and then maybe they could make a "round" sensor that covers the whole image circle instead of forcing people into a given aspect ratio.

And integrated grip doesn't have to change the size overall. I'm confident 90% of people would love to have a second shutter button on a compact camera, but this thread wasn't specifically about that concept. It's good to see the user base here is united on the subject of body size,

I choose the X-Pro 2.
I've never had a camera with an off center viewfinder before and it is their premium body, I like the general idea and aesthetic, and hopefilly it has the most dials (I want all the Dials, and Wheels and Buttons and Switches).
I would have the X-T 2 as well just because I like to shoot BIF sometimes too.
