A dream - finally everything right and nothing "verschlimmbessert". Top!

Since the appearance I photograph with the X-E1 and was very excited about the X-E2. Here one can only congratulate the Fuji engineers easily. There have been dispelled many many criticisms of X-E1.
Above all, the autofocus, when the X-E1 really sometimes had problems in low-contrast or low-light conditions. The AF of the X-E2 is really really fast and fail. According to Fuji, it should 12:08 Sec (please switch in the menu to high performance mode, is ex works) be. I have not measured it as Fotoamateur course, but subjectively it is excellent. The phase AF's just another number, as the contrast AF.
The new sensor is obviously very good. (Still, there's the X-E2 only as a body of Amazon, the kit lens 18-55 mm of X-E1 is the same but what will appear in the kit with the X-E2). The first test shots (. Obj 18-55mm my X-E1) can actually inspire; really sharp crack and the Focus sits perfectly. The colors are very true to life (standard movie setting) while also beautifully alive. The dynamics can also nothing to be desired.
The small improvements to the handling is super successful. The two wheels (shutter speed and exposure compensation) raced clear crisp and dissemble so no longer so easy. The Belichtungskorrekturrad now goes from -3 to +3 EV in third steps - very fine.
Another new feature is the WiFi feature - nice to have, I use it almost never (had also already with the NX300 from Samsung). Even a touch I miss not, because everything can be reached directly on the camera you could need.
The viewfinder has also been improved. He is now really tidy, especially this lower band to preview the distribution of the depth of field has become more delicate and installed a not so much from the actual views of the subject. Also I have to go again to the many perhaps missing Hybrid Viewfinder X100 S or X-Pro1. I had a long time the X100 and have the optical viewfinder also felt very nice, have, however, if there is "serious" was repeatedly turned on the electronic viewfinder, because I need my 100% image coverage and see the chosen photograph really exactly wants my image segmentation is also the way I wanted in the viewfinder.
What I can not understand, however, are the supposed 60 FPS frame rate of the viewfinder. This is certainly not so liquid pans look different. Perhaps the firmware must be updated because again, I've not yet tested so far.
Since first should be the first impression. I think you know it, I am happy with the camera, mainly because of the sensational picture quality. My search for the camera is now finished first ;-)

First Addendum. The camera firmware is 1.0 and there is no other. It is worth mentioning that the 18-55 kit a firmware update to version 3.1 requires that the AF phase of X-E2 is supported (I had already installed)

Have just 4 photos posted. In each case the entire photo and a detail to the focused area. I think there's absolutely nothing to complain about. Especially the photo of my great Swiss is in ISO 1600, with noise reduction set to -2, photographed. To my mind that is a very good result. The details are on both pictures very well mapped (one to watch the dog's coat and the structures and the dew on the leaves of the tree on red).

So, after a few more test shots under any light condition, I can only repeat, the image quality is outstanding. Apparently detail reproduction are the 18-55 Fujinon optical excellent resolution, because the photos are better than ever compared to the X-E1, in terms of image sharpness, (textures on objects, such as structures of bricks and floors tested) and a very faithful and vibrant color reproduction. The sensor is a real milestone and the system camera competition should be allowed to wrap up warm, even and especially in terms of low light imaging performance. Here is also the new AF, what he can. Even focused on gray floor tiles, centered on one of the tiles, not the fugue, in low light - put immediately and correctly sharp. Respect!

A few comments on the amendment from the X-E1 in the Use menu:

The Auto ISO can now be a standard sensitivity, maximum sensitivity and minimum (actually longest) shutter speed.
At one point the third camera tab now appeared on the "LMO". The menu is very cryptic "Objektivmod. Opt.". Behind the "Lens modulation Optimizer" hides. Wen, which JPG engine optimized depending on the pre-buckled lens, the aperture and focal length, the illustration of the diffraction blur from the center to the edges.
There is now a face recognition.
Another new feature is the "Pre-AF". The camera focuses practically on the selected focus point focus before the shutter button is pressed halfway. Sounds to me like Continous AF. I've turned off because of the battery power.
The wizard for manual focus (5 Camera tab, last point) offers the standard zoom function, which subsequently filed already at the X-E1 via firmware Focuspeaking (sharp focus ized areas are color (white) highlighted) now also a digital split image. Known had to be brought from analogue SLRs, as two mutually related sectional images with manual Focusieren in a line. Exactly this works the same way. It appears in the center in black and white is a sectional view that extracts its data from the phase AF sensors. Works great, but takes logical.
There are now in "Fn functions" 4 assignable buttons (Fn1, Fn2, and AE-L AF-L).
See "Power Management" you can now have a so-called. "High Performance Mode" switch, resulting in fast AF and a shorter turn-on effect at the expense of battery endurance time.
In the last Setup tab's are now the "wireless settings" for wireless, "PC Auto Memory" (Photos are by WLAN to PC beamed) and the Geotaggingsetup.

One thing I have noticed; digital spirit level reacts much faster than the X-E1. Unfortunately, still only in the roll axis and not in the tilt axis, which would have been nice for architectural photography, to avoid converging lines. That might like Fuji supply later via firmware, but maybe there is for any sensor in the body.

Another new feature of the X-E2 is the sole automatic use of the electronic viewfinder. In the second setup tab under the last item "EVF / LCD Setting." can be next to "LCD" (display only LCD), "EVF" (display only on EVF) and Eye-Sensor (per sensor next to the EVF switch from display to EVF) some fourth: EVF + sensor enable. First a little confusing, but the difference to EVF only is that the EVF is only when one looks into activated via sensor - in Just EVF he is always on. Certainly helps to save battery. Some will be frightened when he activates by mistake because the LCD is off and then stays off. One has only to look into the viewfinder and then only while since seen through the whole switch again. As a shortcut key would be quite useful.

Addendum dated 29.11.2013 Today the WLAN auto memory function set. Works. On the PC (Win7 with me) Fujifilm PCAutosave have to walk (visit the Fujifilm Support page to download). Then camera and PC need to be "paired". After installing the program on the PC a green icon with a sparking camera appears on the taskbar, bottom right. Since draufklicken, then click PC-car storage and follow the setup. The PC then waits for a signal from the camera: In the camera to the PC Auto store go (last Setup menu) and set up there. I have chosen the manual setup, is totally simple: let looking router from the camera, select router, enter WLAN key in the camera and start (The PC should now wait for the signal from the camera, otherwise it ceases after a few seconds on.) If successful, the future comes in automatically, so it must be set up once. Of course, the camera will need to access the same router (wireless) and PC.
