Hi everyone


I'm looking to buy a Fuji X series camera soon and I deliberating over which model to get

I recently purchased an x100s and love the image quality you get from fuji and sold my m43 and nikon dslr gear but although the x100s is great im missing the reach and versatility a system camera can give.

I have a budget of £750 and have been looking at the x-e2 or the xpro 1 that comes with 2 free lenses at the moment .

Does anyone here have first hand experience with either camera or are there better for the budget i have.
 
I was leaning more towards the X-Pro 1 because of the lens deal to be honest as the 18 f2 is a lens i would like to keep and the other could be sold on and put towards a the 55-200mm F3.5 or another telephoto lens .
 
Amazon have the EX-2 for £501 and the 35mm f1.4 for £399 with cashback that is a round £700 .

Is this a good deal or is the X-Pro 1 the better of the two?

Would you know how good the EVF is on the X-E2 compared to the X100s?
As i found the X100s preety poor quality coming from a Olympus VF4 .
 
Had a play with both the X-E2 and X-Pro 1 today at the shops and have to say both performed nice with very little difference in focus speed with the kit lens ,Although both seemed slower than my old epl5 . But the jewel in the crown so to speak was the XT-1 .Wow this camera is awesome everything about it screamed quality and the evf and screen looked much brighter and faster than the other two .

Out of the 2 i will probrably say the X-E2 just edges it due to slightly faster focus and better EVF .Although the Ovf on the Xpro 1 was nice and with the 18mm it was like using the x100s .

The xpro-1 and x-e2 were both running the latest firmware and both were nice cameras but the viewfinders in both were not as good as the xt-1. Both very nice cameras but i think im going to save a little more and get the xt-1 as the focus speed is much faster than both.

Gotta say that's a smart move. I love my X-E2, but the X-T1's physical controls still tempt me greatly....

(I'll keep the X-E2 though- I still giggle when people ask me where I get film for my camera!)

I have actually been asked the same thing when using my x100s :p
