Reviews
– The full admiringlight review is online here: “Overall image quality with the X-E2 is on a very high level. The low noise, great color and excellent dynamic range are combined with a sort of ‘it’ factor with the images, which have a depth that is unusually rich for an APS-C sensor. […] Fuji’s JPEGs are good enough that I don’t feel particularly limited if I choose to shoot JPEG. […] The Fujifilm X-E2 really has nothing aside from a lackluster video mode that holds it back in the mirrorless space. If you’re a stills shooter like me, that’s a pretty minor point. The Fujifilm X-E2 is a pleasure to shoot. It is a responsive body with wonderful, focused controls, and the resulting images are outstanding. Highly recommended.”
– FR-reader Vibranze took some shots with the X-E2 and the [shoplink 12946 ebay]Samyang fisheye lens[/shoplink]. See his Flickr here.
– Bert’s thoughts on the X-E2 at confessionsxl here: “The electronic viewfinders on most of the most recent cameras (including the X-E2) have come to the point were those technological limitations aren’t much of a problem anymore, if at all. They also offer the what-you-see-is-what-you-get advantage before you even have to push the shutter. I also noticed that the X-E2 can see in the dark. In very dark situations you can still see what’s happening in the viewfinder, that’s something even the clearest optical viewfinder of a DSLR can’t do. I’m pretty confident that in a couple of years optical viewfinders will be a thing of the past or nothing more than a nostalgia feature.” And also here the question is: upgrade or not?
