The landscape of the digital imaging marketplace changed radically when the first MILC hit the market. MILCs (mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras) provide just about everything their larger DSLR siblings offer in terms of capability, flexibility, and usability, but they are smaller, lighter, much less intimidating to subjects, and cheaper than DSLRs. They were the first major innovation in camera design of the digital age; before their introduction, all digital cameras were basically digital versions of traditional film camera designs. Two distinct classes of consumers populate the demographic that buys the most MILC digicams: semi-pros and serious enthusiasts who want a compact and capable alternative to bulky DSLRs, and upgraders from point-and-shoot digicams who want SLR-like image quality and creative flexibility without completely giving up the convenience those smaller P&S devices. The Fuji X-E2 is an update of the very popular X-E1, and the middle child in Fujifilm’s „X“ family of MILC models. The 16 megapixel shooter is a substantive, rather than cosmetic, update of the X-E1. One of the major complaints consumers leveled at its predecessor  was its slower than average autofocus performance.  Fuji listened to those complaints and added a new hybrid AF system for faster AF and a new processor that substantially improves start-up and shot-to-shot times……..
