It’s upgrade time and this week saw me go from my 2 Fujifilm X-E1’s to upgrading one of those already great cameras to the much loved and allegedly faster Fuji X-E2. This blog is a mix of video and stills as well as my opinion on how these cameras match up to each other and if the upgrade was really worth it, if it is then I’ll most likely change the other X-E1 to the X-E2 and rock those for a good long while. Why not the X-T1? In short I’ve taken this somewhat smaller step to the X-E2 over the newer X-T1 for a few reasons, cost is a massive factor for me and I feel from what I’ve read that the X-E2’s focus sped and now [thanks to firmware] faster EVF puts it in the same level as the X-T1, I have no need for a tilt screen, weather sealing or a bigger viewfinder and as such just couldn’t justify the upgrade. Also a little thing but the shape is something that puts me off the change, I really like the rangefinder look and a few things online about spongy buttons on the XT-1 were enough to put me off. For now………
