Customer Review

The new mirrorless Fujifilm X-E2 completely convincing.
The predecessor X-E1 was very impressive (see my review X-E1).
Fuji has really managed this very good X-E1 again to revise and update so that even last doubters are convinced.
With the X-E2 Fuji will continue the success story of the X-E1. The main point of criticism - the slow autofocus - a thing of the past.
Now the new hybrid autofocus ensures correct brisk pace - and even in low-light situations.
Compared to the X-E1, the image quality is also improved, the photos come to me again sharply before, the colors are just fantastic realistic.
Even the elelektr. Viewfinder has gained a nasty spikes in the frame rate, especially does it manifest itself in darker situations.
The bucking is almost completely disappeared.
Very pleasing is the further improved also highlight focusing, which is much better to handle now in the magnifying glass settings.
From the split-image rangefinder I was a little disappointed with this event perhaps in one. later update will be updated again.

In overall impression, the new X-E2 has over its predecessor in many ways, including some essentials, exclusively positive change.

When Lightroom comparison of photos of this camera and the Canon 5D Mk2 it is already difficult to determine differences.
They are visible only when really high magnifications.
For the 5D is about 4x as expensive and has felt the 10 times the weight.
Front the small Fuji is but clearly, when it comes to high ISO values. Even with JPEG`s directly from the camera can not even keep up the full frame camera, the JPEGs of X-E2 are just great, both in the field, as well as in noise performance, in the dynamic and in the naturalness of the colors.

The X-E2 is the first choice if you are looking for a system camera with excellent image quality, no other enough because even close.
Not only is she a suitable secondary camera for SLR photographers but is also suitable for those looking for high image quality, but not tow with a large equipment, or want to change lenses and still require a zoom lens and manual control.

This is only a first impression - more later.

About the price policy of Amazon I'm a little surprised at how it can be that you even now, on many retailers significantly cheaper (about 100, - less) Camera receives?
Amazon should not exploit a delivery situation to alienate ultimately satisfied customers in my opinion.

Addendum dated 29.11.2013
Meanwhile, Amazon has its the same price as the dealer prices.
Perhaps critical reviews yes a bit helped.
Anyway: Thank you Amazon! :-)
