According to latest rumors Fuji is planning to replace the year old X70 pro compact camera with Fuji X80. The Specification of the camera isn’t know yet but the camera is expected to be announced sometime in mid of 2017.
We expect Fuji will add the same X-Trans III sensor inside upcoming Fuji X80 camera (100F also have the same sensor). Will the announcement of X80 will bring down the sales of X100F ?. I don’t think so, it’s just like trim down version of the X100F camera. The X80 will sure attract new consumer base to Fujifilm, since under $1K range Fuji if giving out APS-C Size X-Trans sensor based compact camera whereas other companies remains limited to 1″ sensor only.

The only thing stopping me from buying an x70 is the lack of an EVF. I would never buy an x80 without one and I feel that the camera would be another failure for Fuji if they don’t put one in.
