Fujifilm refers to this family of cameras as X Series without the hyphen, and I'm wondering if this article should do the same. Currently it uses almost every form you can think of - X-Series, X-series, X series - so it would make sense to standardise on one of them. The problem here is that the article itself is called Fujifilm X-series - so should we change the name of the article or change the article references? (If the former, how does one do that anyway?!)

The article says: "The X series itself is not characterized by a single common sensor size, technology or a lens format, but rather the emphasis on the controls needed by an advanced digital camera user.[opinion]"
This is untrue. All X series are APS sized sensors. Fuji has a second range of cameras using medium format sized sensors, and they are the GFX series.
The article says "The Fujifilm X series of digital cameras consists of Fujifilm's high-end digital cameras"
This is untrue. The GFX are the high end offerings for professional photographers, and are significantly higher resolution and more expensive.
This article badly needs to be re-written. As it stands it is simply wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ZeroXero ( talk • contribs) 21:25, 22 August 2018 (UTC)
I've recently started working on cleaning up this article. My first task was to add third party sources, so that the article doesn't rely so heavily on citations from Fujifilm itself. I've completed this effort and removed the "Independent Sources" maintenance template.
The next big issue I see is that the article contains two representations of the model timeline; three if you count the one contained in the template transcluded at the bottom. They're slightly different, but I'm not sure they're sufficiently so to warrant maintaining both. Another issue is that the first one is getting to be too wide to display correctly on a typical screen.
Before I get rid of one or the other, I wanted to see if we could reach consensus on which format (if either) is deemed more useful/ accessible, or if there is a cogent reason that I'm overlooking to maintain both.

As noted above, I'm not a fan of the transclusion of the
Fujifilm X & G series template into this article.
Among the reasons I dislike this solution:
I get
being bold but the whole reason I raised these questions in this talk page is that so we could reach a consensus before we institute the changes upon which we've agreed. Implementing poorly considered "solutions" strikes me as counterproductive.

I took a crack at adding brief definitions of the various X series "lines" in the
X series model lines section. These were basically just quick off-the-cuff breakdowns. I need to go back and find and add sources as well as add the small-sensor models. I just wanted to get it started; I'm open to feedback or any edits that you feel are warranted.

I re-added a simplified version of the original chronology table using the model line designations which I defined. I also excised the duplicative chronology table and re-ordered the contents of the article somewhat for clarity. I still need to add some additional sources, but I think the article is becoming much more informative and useful.

After further reflection, putting the "model line" designations into the table didn't add anything, since that information can be intuited by the model name. Also, having the rows in the table in chronological order similarly didn't add value. So, I broke the lines into fixed vs. interchangeable lens categories and reordered the rows into order by where they fall in the series in terms of quality/ price.
The "new" table comes almost full circle from the original, but I think the order of the groupings makes more sense, first by sensor size, then by lens type. Please let me know what you think.
