X-E1 vs. X-E2 | Fuji vx. Fuji

In this post I’ll address what I see as the major differences between Fuji’s X-E1 and newly released body update, the X-E2. The refreshing thing about how Fuji is operating these days is all their recent X-Series cameras (aside from the X-A1) share the same APS-C “X-Trans CMOS” sensor so picture quality is nearly identical across all the bodies with the possible exception of the X-E2 with its Lens Modulation Optimizer (more on that later). Removing picture quality from the equation makes doing a head to head comparison much easier. But there are still some notable differences. Let’s take a look.

Autofocus

Fuji touts the X-E2 as having the “World’s fastest AF speed of 0.08 sec.” It’s certainly quicker than the X-E1, but in good light, the X-E1 still holds its own remarkably well. For the benchmark lover, there’s a video demonstrating the difference in AF speed on YouTube. I question the second test a little bit as the X-E1 looks to have started much further out of focus that the X-E2, but there’s no question that the X-E2 is quicker to lock focus. Where I notice a huge difference is lowlight situations. With the AF on both cameras set to the centre point, the X-E2 locks focus much faster, and on things that the X-E1 refuses to focus on at all. If you’re a night-time street shooter, the X-E2 should be at the top of your list…..
