Fuji interview: XF 8-16mm F2.8 will be released this year

Fujirumors spotted a new Thai nintyerview with Fuji. Here are the key info translated by Fujirumors:

X-T100 target on people who want to shoot good photos and have a viewfinder and also vlogging. Also a camera for travel shooting, family.
X-T20 a bit better high ISO senstivity thanks to X-Trans sensor. X-T20 is also overall a bit faster
X-T100 is faster than X-A5
the goal was to create the smallest camera possible. Hence no grip. But you can add it separately (comes included in the box).
the new LCD tilt mechanism allows the camera to be slimmer than when using a fully articulating screen
Sensor is Bayer, but processing is the same of Fujifilm, hence you have for example film simulation and overall very good IQ
4K 15fps is a limitation. Maybe next generation will have upgraded 4K
Fujifilm has APS-C and Medium Format. MF can provide higher resolution, better dynamic range and better ISO. So Fujifilm thinks that the GFX system is much better than Full Frame. APS-C is smaller and lighter, not only cameras, but especially the lenses, such as telephoto lenses and brighter lenses.
Fujifilm GFX 50S expanded the demand for Medium Format
Fujifilm works hard to release XF 8-16mm F2.8 this year
strongest points of Fujifilm are color reproductions (image processing) and lens quality
Fujifilm strategy to grow in mirrorless market. They want to be different. In camera style and concept. Every camera model has a different concept.
