1. X100V successor coming in early 2024 (shared July 11) – NOTE: I could easily move it also in the high rating. The only reason I put it here, is because it is still so far away, that I can’t 100% exclude last minute changes by Fujifilm, even though I don’t think there will be changes

MEDIUM LOW RATING*
*25% to 49% correct

1. nothing
