Almost as annoying when people refer to digital movies and use the term
footage.

In the film days they called their cameras Fujica!

and fujinon

Fujinon and now Fujicon are the labels Fujifilm has given its lenses,
just as Nikon lenses are labeled Nikkor.

Fujifilm is just doing what they have always done, adding features and
improvements to existing cameras, instead of only pushing new cameras.
This has nothing to do with Canon, it is Fujifilm doing what they do
best, listen to users, and provide support and improvements for owners
of their cameras. Just another reason to buy Fujifilm.Their substantial
firmware updates/upgrades is one reason X-series camera owners have
become very brand faithful.

For example the Firmware v4.0 upgrade for my X-E2 gave me what amounted
to a new camera without having to buy an X-E2S.

nikon did that with the d70-d70s, as well as other cameras.

My D70 benefitted from that particular firmware update. However, Nikon
and Canon are not as forthcoming with firmware updates/up grades as
Fujifilm is.

Massive firmware update for the newly released gear in Q2? Why? Is Fuji
sinking into desperation over the Canon EOS M5 success story? Feel free
to share your opinions!

....and here is the Fujifilm Blog detail of the firmware upgrades. They
are not insignificant.

In their defense, you can't fix oil splattering, mirrors falling off,
gross focus errors or poor weather seals with firmware updates.

That is one reason I stuck with my D300S until it seemed that Nikon was
never going to produce a replacement. Naturally weeks after I made my
move to Fujifilm, Nikon announced the D500. As much as I have been very
tempted by the D500, I have come to appreciate the character and light
weight of the Fujifilm X-series cameras and the choice I made.
