Fuji is a frustrating company to love

Wants to buy a brand new "rangefinder style" camera that's been made within the last 8 years

Fuji in 2016: "Hey boss, our X100 cameras seem to be selling like hot cakes, but there's also a huge market for interchangeable lenses. I know, let's refresh the X-Pro line, but make it worse by breaking the screen, and then abandoning it!"

Boss: "WOW!! Great job, Johnson!"

Fuji in 2021: "Howdy team, customers still like the X-E model, but it's pretty outdated. I know, let's make it an ergonomic nightmare by removing the hand grip and a third of the controls that people find useful. After that we can discontinue it a year later, for seemingly no reason!"

Boss: "Holy fucking shit Johnson, you've done it again!"

Fuji in 2022: "Good news boss, our plan worked. Everyone is buying even more of our X100s now!" They have no other choice. The Tik Tokers are eating em up! Should we make more??"

NO

Fuji in 2024: X-M5 for some reason
