A new X-S1 variant. Fully weather sealed, 18-600mm lens range, a battery grip option for extended back country shooting, and location shooting. Great image stabilization, 4k video output and keep the size similar to my Current X-S1. Don't need super large sensors etc. something like a new 1 inch or 4/3 ish size sensor would be fine in this day and age. My X-S1 still kicks it image quality wise, so something new like this would be an instant buy for me. Basically a x100vi counterpart for long range shooting. I am already looking at getting the x100vi to go along with my X10. So a new X-S2 to go along with my X-S1 would be AWESOME. There are lots of other people in the same mindset. A RX10 iv competitor is needed from fujifilm!
A X80 or XF20 with a 28mm, a sort of Ricoh GRIII competitor with X100 vibes, will be almost as successful as the X100 series nowadays. I would buy for sure (I need a pocketable Fuji, because X100V/VI are not). Great/Interesting video!
Thank you :-) i agree, a good competitor to the Ricoh gr would be a good move for Fujifilm. Would probably get some people back that switched over because of the pocketability.
Definitely! I daily my X70 and I love it, but its longg due an upgrade by now. Unfortunately the x100 series is larger than what I would consider 'pocketable'.
I would rather the next Fuji have the camera be like the Leica dlux, but with the APSC sensor instead of a 4/3 micro sensor. Also, I love the zoom on the Leica, 24-75. F 1.7 -2.8. This would make a perfect street photography camera! But they must have an EVF!
I will probably stick with my X-T3 untill Fuji launches the X-T5s ! Sometimes you just don't need 40Mp. Also, it would be great with the 60-600 from sigma
I may switch brands before another really exciting Fuji camera arrives. I have an amazing XH2 which is more than enough for most of my current work but I've been waiting for a 50R upgrade for what it feels like more than enough time now. This is just my personal feeling but I haven't been really excited about the new releases for a couple of years now (that I can afford).
Thanks for sharing, i think the cameras they’re releasing are good, but I don’t feel the need to upgrade so much, as I’m very happy with my XT4 at the moment. But a new upgrade of the gfx 50r would be awesome!
@@lukasbenjamin_ To me the X-T4 is the last well balanced X series camera between stills and video while maintaining the Fuji dna (dials and general interface). I was very happy with mine too but had the chance to upgrade so I went for the X- H2.
Or, instead of conjecture, we could just wait patiently and see what Fuji do. Then you wouldnt have to make pointless videos giving ideas that Fuji will probably not do.
I would like a camera so expensive that scalpers would have a hard time selling them and only the real fans would be able to get them. Make it happen Fujifilm!
I own a xe4and xt5.....was waiting and waiting for a GRiiix compete (something truly pocketable) and was continually disappointed so bought a GRiiix.... I love it!! Fuji are missing out on a massive slice of the market
@@lukasbenjamin_ mate it's amazing, So sharp and start up time is soooo quick... If Fufi bring out an equivalent I'd def grab it but if I want to go somewhere where I don't want or can't bring a bag/sling.... It's the Ricoh Griiix for the win at this stage as it sits perfectly in shorts or pants pocket 👍🏼👍🏼👌🏼👌🏼
@@michaelhall859yes,its sharp,small,great IQ but it has alot of down's:build qualitty is weak-it will not resist in time,wheel and dials issue etc ,dust problems,AF is bad,no WR.I owned 2 of the GR's ,so not a hater here.
Fujifilm is full of excitement and surprises every time they release a new camera, they always have this advantage or edge which is a culture in Japan. So I think they would release a baby GFX line up sort of like with a fixed lens.
I would like to see an X-E5 and a medium format version of the X100VI. I love my X-T5 and and my GFX100S. I really wish, though, that the GFX100S had an ISO dial instead of the PASM dial.
I think a new version of the gfx50r could be very popular, but maybe the demand just isn’t as high as I think, after all I think a lot of people using the gfx do it for work, instead of as a hobby.
Fuji would like to sell 2 cameras with similar image quality. Let’s call it the x128. Same features largely as the x100vi. 28mm lens and no ovf. It is a reason to have both 28/35 lens. Lower cost and for pro users the images would have same rendering. Many cellphones come with 28mm. It is the gateway into the more expensive x100vi.
If they can't meet x100vi demand, then the question is if a more affordable version would be more profitable. If they can't meet manufacturing demand for a different camera with a lower margin, then it seems like a waste of time.
OK - spin this -medium format (MF) fixed lens based on the x100 6 - nice and compact for a MF and a great entry for many into MF - they would sell LOADS !
Fujifilm as other camera manufacturers …. are certainly taking their ‘loyal’ customers for mugs! Keep offering a ‘new’ model or with minimal updates for more dosh! Remember the old adage ….. ‘Be happy with the camera you have - explore new things to photograph!’ Please, please don’t give your hard earned money to these manufacturers and their shareholders!
I dream that a the new X-T6 and the new X-H3 would be only one camera. Then we'd retain the analog dials but would gain the advantages of the X-HX series.
I wish the xt line was their top of the line product as well, but I also like the fact they introduced the xh line, it’s a cool way of bringing the new pasm dial cameras into the Fujifilm lineup.
I think the reason Leica does it, is because the monochrome versions have better image quality, due to the colorfilter missing. Would be a cool addition to the Fujifilm lineup
I’ve certainly heard of people that still use it and love it, people even shoot with camera’s from 10 years ago or older, they don’t really get bad, it’s just that new cameras are getting released that have better specs.
I don’t think we need a cheaper x100vi I think the smarter move since there’s a lot of people shooting film they should make a GFX100R a fix lens medium format camera like they did in the film days no matter what Fuji announce cheaper or not the prices are still going to be out the roof because of resellers
Well the reseller problem they’re trying to solve through their production in china, hopefully in the long run it’ll work out. But I agree a medium format fixed lens camera would be awesome!!
I’d hope for XF40. Sure the X100VI has a good lens but for normal folks, I think it lacks the zoom capability like the old XF10-30. I really want a updated compact Fujifilm with zoom capability like the XF20. So my bet is a zoom fixed lens compact camera.
Hm I doubt that’s ever gonna happen with Fujifilm. They have the apsc and medium format, it seems to be the ideal way for them to distinguish themselves from other manufacturers
@@lukasbenjamin_ the x100v has the lens and is weather sealed and has the same processor and sensor as the xt4. The only thing it lacks is ibis and the 3 newest film simulations.
My personal favorite line is the X-E. Great size to bring everywhere while still having an interchangeable lens
Yes that is also one I would like to see updated asap! Which one do you have?
@@lukasbenjamin_ I don't have a camera yet unfortunately but I've been eyeing a used x-e3 with a pancake 27mm
@@deneguil-1618 that’s an absolute amazing combo!
Ssssh. Prices will rocket up if the influencers realize its x100 with interchangable lenses

Sometimes you just don't need 40Mp.
Also, it would be great with the 60-600 from sigma
Hm that would be cool, but I’m not sure Fujifilm would release something like that.
I think they will make a 28mm equivalent X100 series camera.
Or a revival of X10, X20, X30 series of zoom point and shoot
Hopefully!!
Fuji needs to put out a monochrome camera. It would put them right into the face of Leica at , I am sure, a very competitive price.
That would be awesome

Relaunch X Pan 2025 Version
The X100 series is fine but the biggest issue is they never have any available……. They play it up and then do not produce sufficient numbers.
Unfortunately they still have problems with it, even though they moved manufacturing to china to be able to produce in bigger numbers.
I own a xe4and xt5.....was waiting and waiting for a GRiiix compete (something truly pocketable) and was continually disappointed so bought a GRiiix.... I love it!! Fuji are missing out on a massive slice of the market

I would love an updated version of the x10,x20,x30 series.Same leaf shutter, 28-120 zoom lens but bigger battery and newer fuji sensor.

Fuji needs to lean into ISO and shutter speed dials and aperture rings and eschew PASM dials
They already said there wasn’t going to be an x-t40 but an x-t50 instead
Kind of funny they see the xt30 II as an actual xt40😅

Imagine stabilization is a must for people with shaky hands. Never a good idea to take away a good feature.
A fixed lens medium format camera would be nice
That’s why I’m hoping for an update on the gfx 50r, a smaller medium format camera
If they can't meet x100vi demand, then the question is if a more affordable version would be more profitable. If they can't meet manufacturing demand for a different camera with a lower margin, then it seems like a waste of time.
I was really hoping their move to china with manufacturing would solve the manufacturing problems.

Though I have to say, it seems like Fujifilm is bringing back the old Kaizen ways.
They aren't offering a new model for more dosh. The launch price is the same as the previous model after inflation.
