I hope they don't throw in the X-Trans towel. Like X-Trans or not, at least
it offers a difference.

As it is spelt out in the FR article there are solid lines between the
X-Trans and Bayer offerings. There are reasons for that differentiation.

The GFX with its almost MF sensor would be cost prohibitive to market, even
to the Pro, or up-market enthusiasts with an oversized X-Trans sensor. Add to
that some of the X-Trans RAF processing issues (mainly sharpening artifacts)
when using an LR/PS workflow, which regardless of opinions of Adobe business
practice, is the de facto Pro/enthusiast choice for processing/editing
software. None of those folks are going to tolerate a hiccough with their
LR/PS workflow.

At the other end there are the A series Bayer sensor cameras which are aimed
at the entry level market. There they save ±$100 in sensor cost, also making
things a little simpler for those entry level users selecting
processing/editing software.

With the X-Trans cameras the X-Trans I are fully discontinued, and with the
X-Trans II the current survivor is the X-E2S. That leaves the X-Trans III,
X-Pro2, X-T2, X-T20, X100F, and X-E3, and those are not going anywhere just
yet. You can anticipate updates via firmware, and hardware. Perhaps, there
will be an X-Trans IV in the future, but I suspect we will see a more
powerful CPU and other hardware changes, such as an expansion of touch, and
tilt screens first, and a few new lenses.

Just remember android likes to provoke knee-jerk responses.

On your part, but no cigar.
