Retro styled cameras are only gaining in popularity; the competition is increasing, but Fujifilm has a big head start.
And still many concepts to try out. We have yet to see true manual focus confirmation in stills mode (something a retro nikon zf has been praised for), or an autofocus capable lens with a distance scale (leica q style).
Wishing hard alongside you. I still love my XPro3 <3. I talked to one of their brand reps at Samy's Camera Santa Ana 2 months back and he said it's definitely on their radar but the manufacturing is a bottleneck.
I wish they'd update their model lines at the same time. Frustrating how they are all at uneven paces in terms of getting sensor or AF upgrades. You might want an x-pro body but it is what two generations behind the xt-5 now. xt-5 gen upgrades didn't trickle to the xe line until like 3 years later.
