If you come in principle from without viewfinder? That's probably the hardest decision. Although the feel of small made of plastic Fuji is rather moderate compared to the metal-made Fuji X E-1, I decided because of the folding monitor to the next higher model in the hierarchy.
It also comes with sun without viewfinder? Yes, that is possible if you set the monitor bright. The battery life is decent, so you can still make a few hundred images. My 16GB card was full (jpg + RAW, approximately 450 images) before the battery went limp.
So is it really always without Viewfinder? This is not always good. Partly because the very meaningful example displays the depth of field but obscure portions of the subject and it is not practical, the display will always switch to full screen and back. Also, I have experienced it, that when you set the framing tiny disturbing details about looks that could have been considered a good viewfinder probably.
With the faint optics a good imaging performance is achieved because the Fuji makes very good results even at high ISO speeds. Therefore, to get there in order.
When switching from Canon products that the change would be an easy decision for the operation. The menus are clearly laid out. With a Q = Quick button you have a fast access to frequently used functions. The manual focus is supported with on request with a contrast display and / or magnifying glass. And if you buy from the merchants and not from Amazon there are fortunately a printed, reasonable written manual.
What bothers else on the camera? It is relatively loud for a Mirrorless. This keeps my almost noiseless Canon G1X in noise-sensitive situations your application.
Bracketing can be done, but these are limited to max + - 1 limited aperture, that is not enough if you want to make a crisp HDR.
At slow shutter speeds, it takes an eternity felt until the data analysis is then completed. During long-term exposure, the camera counts the seconds on the display with, but the image is not built gradually, as do other products on the market. This minor defiance is the camera a real tip for those who like to work with folding monitor. Allen viewfinder photographer "is the X E-1 suggested.
As a matching bag, I can recommend the Manfrotto MB MA-SB-2 Advanced and also the Troy battery. Also, the RR-90 remote release still fits with a memory card and a cleaning cloth in the bag. Thus, the space in the small bag is also well used. DSLR users drag many kilos around. With the small Fuji nearly a kilo to from a system with 24-350 mm (KB) is enough to have this.
