Marnie, You mean the X-E2? There is an X-M1 (not X-M2) but it doesn't have a viewfinder. The guts of the X-E2 and X-T1 are very similar: Same sensor and image processing engine, and probably same AF algorithms (at least once they release new firmware for the X-E2). The EVF on the X-T1 is larger a

The Olympus looks really good, but I'd be leaning towards the SONY a7, despite it's now documented shortcomings, with an adapter it would make my full frame K and M lenses their proper focal lengths again. I really don't like the fly by wire focusing that seems to be the new normal for most of

Re: Yo Cotty, check the new Fuji out!

Since the Fuji cameras were designed from the beginning with an APS-C sensor and a whole new lens mount so there is no existing base of lenses designed with a big enough image circle to cover a 24x36mm sensor, Demanding a FF solution is worse than silly. It would be like demanding that Olympus

Re: OT - Re: Yo Cotty, check the new Fuji out!

We haven't seen a lot of cost reduction so far from using EVFs. Take for example two roughly equivalent cameras an EVF Olympus OM-D EM-1 at 16mp and the K-5II. The cameras spec sheets are very similar, weather sealed, Magnesium alloy bodies, With really about equal IQ, both have weather sealing

Kind of looks like someone took parts of Sony's new FF mirrorless, and the Olympus OM-D, (doesn't matter which one really), and built a new camera out of the parts around an APS-C sensor. From the front it looks a lot like a nice compact film SLR from the late 80's before AutoFocus took comple

Looks like a nicely designed body, similar aesthetic to the Nikon Df with many discrete dials, buttons and knobs. I hope it has an up to date EVF (on par with the Sony A7/A7r or Olympus E-M1) and feels good in the hand. I know Fuji's lenses are generally quite good; they're building up a decent
