Better AF performance and / or good useable MF for me. If they would recess the Exposure compensation knob like they did with the X-E1, that would also be a nice touch. It really is a beautiful camera just as it is….and don’t touch that focal length, it’s perfect!

Why not just buy the X-E1 then?

I would feel better about purchasing an X200 if DXO Optics supported it. DXO has said it has no plans to support the X-Trans sensor “in the near future”.

DXO has had virtually immediate support for all the new Nikon and Sony cameras. I’ve been submitting support requests for the X-Pro-1 and X-E1 about every month since they were announced. If more people requested X-Trans support I think DXO would build support in their future releases.

Not fussed about the OVF. Personally never use it. I’m looking for much better AF performance. That’s the one thing which really tempers my love for the X100. If they can integrate on-sensor phase detect AF like the Nikon One, that would be absolutely fantastic. Other than that – an increase in resolution would be welcome. If they can nudge the lens up to an f/1.8 or f/1.7 to increase background isolation without totally compromising pocketability, that would be no bad thing. I’m also looking for a dedicated ISO dial and a proper exposure preview.

How about 1.4mm lens on x200? Is that even possible?

Add to my wish list for 2013. Size it like X100, More metal, and less plastic. Black color without +$ will be a plus. OVF a must.

This should be no surprise. The X100 is nearing 24 months which is a pretty decent run for a consumer device. On top of that the X-Trans is the all the rage these days within Fuji, so it’s logical this would be coming. As to rather I am going to replace my X100 with an X200, I’m out of that race, as I just bought an X-Pro1 last year, and will not be drawn in to buying a new camera EVERY year. I don’t care how good the X200 might be, I’m not going to get in to the habit of spending 1200-1500 a year for every new camera.
