Here is the summary of part 2 of the Fujicast interview (part 1 here) with Fujifilm Manager Andreas Georghiades :
- X-S10 was more expensive at launch than the X-T3, but the X-T3 was an older product when the X-S10 was launched and there were promotions on the X-T3
- there are people who like DSLR’s and want to go smaller mirrorless camera, and the X-S10 is a great camera for them as it has a PSAM dial. Then there are rangefinder lovers (X-E, X-Pro) and others want individual dials (X-T4 etc)
- X-S10 is targeted to attract new users in the Fujifilm system
- for pure photographic orientated people, there are X100V, X-T3, X-Pro3 etc
- there was a gap, and the X-S10 fills that
- he does not know of an Instax Wide Printer, but he’d love to have one too
- When it comes to making decisions (such as if implement vary angle screens or not etc), they get their feedback from various sources. From X photographers, camera reviewers, traditional press, youtube reviewers
- at the end you can’t make everybody happy, some will always complaint. For example, the GFX100S has lower res EVF compared to GFX100, but it’s also much cheaper. But some complaint and wanted a cheap camera with the super-resolution EVF of GFX100
- compromises need to be made sometimes
- if you want X-T4 performance on a more photo centric camera, there is the X-T3
- Fujifilm can’t please everyone
- Brexit won’t have additional costs on repairs, but there might be delays initally
- the Fujifilm UK X-Thusiast program won’t be extended to USA
