Great comparison. Thank you! 1.5 years ago, I got the “V” as a “fun camera” next to my Nikon full frame DSLR. Barely touched the Nikon ever since and ultimately got rid of it. I looked long and hard at the pro3. But that screen is too damn gimmicky for my taste. And after years of hauling gear around and always debating which lens to bring, the “35mm only” obligation has been a bliss. That said, the 50mm equivalent tele converter and the Fuji EF-60 flash do wonders for me (for the occasional portrait). Such a nice “complete” pack, all weather sealed and without the temptations of getting a closet full of lenses….

Fuji needs to add IBIS to the xpro and OIS to the x100 line. I switched from the X100F to leica q2 and the OIS is so underrated for shooting landscape/cityscape at night because i can hand hold down to 1/4 shutter speed and get a cleaner image by keeping the ISO low. It's really the only thing keeping me from buying into the fuji rangefinder style cameras.

@Erik Burgerhagen Really? I can definitely say it's better to have IBIS/OIS than to not have it. I use the stabilization frequently in night shoots. Leica Q has OIS the GRIII has IBIS. There's absolutely no reason Fujifilm can't fit stabilization into their Xpro/X100 lineup especially given the fact their competitors are offering it (even in smaller form factors like the Ricoh GR)

Well, I own the X-Pro 3 as well as the ‘2’, love those rigs and they nicely complement my X-T2 that I use for action work. The X-E2s was my introduction into the Fuji system when moving from Canon after 35 years back in 2017. At first glance, the X-E4 was looking like a “must-have” to replace the X-E2s, however, on closer inspection (via KZbin) the missing focus switch from the from of the camera is a big negative for me, that said, I will withhold judgment until I have a chance to try it out, once my local camera store gets a few in stock. Love the looks of the ‘100’, but the fixed lens is a deal killer....for now🤤 but I might succumb at some future date when my wallet allows.
