The editors liked
Image quality is excellent
Right up to ISO6400. The high-ISO
Low-light performance is brilliant
So even though it has an inbuilt flash it will hardly ever be needed. The kit lens is mechanically and optically outstanding.
The Fujifilm X-E2 delivers the same excellent photo quality as the X-E1
With a more streamlined design and slightly better performance
Excellent build and image quality
Built-in Wi-Fi
EVF builtin
920
000dot LCD
Faster responses
Improved AF system
The editors didn't like
The fixed LCD is a disappointment. Swivelling LCDs are so useful that omitting one at this price is regrettable. And the SD memory card cannot be accessed when the camera is on a tripod
Which again is unusual for a highclass camera
It's still not terribly fast
Especially for action
And the feature set remains relatively average. Plus you really don't want to use it for shooting video unless you're very careful about frame rates
Electronic viewfinder takes a little time to get used to
Abstract: The Fuji X-E2 is very much an evolution of the popular Fuji X-E1. It has the same great look and feel, which hearkens back to the rangefinders of yesteryear.The bright OLED viewfinder looks great on the X-E2. It’s bright and high resolution at 2.36 mil...
Abstract: Fujifilm announced its point-and-shoot XQ1 and its mid-tier X-E2 earlier this month as two products that help expand its popular X Series. This past week, Fujifilm attended PhotoPlus in New York City, and lucky for us, they brought bot the XQ1 and X-E...
Abstract: While the resolution remains the same, the employs the newer 16.3MP APS-C X-Trans CMOS II sensor that we first saw in the X100S. So not only does it feature the clever and unique X-Trans pixel array that eliminates the need for an optical low pass fil...

High-quality stills, Very responsive, Outstanding EVF
Bit of learning curve, Fixed-position LCD not touch capable, Uneven exposures in some movie clips
We're fans of the X-series, even with the flaws noted here. Colors and white balance are very accurate, with a richness, tone, and depth that are quite impressive. Fujifilm wants a premium price for its better models and we can't begrudge the company fo...
Semi professional compact system camera adds an eye level viewfinder built in, and rangefinderlike controls, plus a build quality reminiscent of an even pricier Leica camera, APSC sensor and decent glass can translate into knockout imagery
Pricey if you don't need an eye level viewfinder, and, in requiring a period of familiarisation from the get go, it's less easy for newbies to get to grips with than the likes of the XA1
Improvements over the earlier X-E1 seem to be largely performance based, and come down to enhanced speed and accuracy – Fuji hasn't thrown the baby out with the bathwater. That said, if you're considering spending this amount then we'd also recommend taki...
If you've been a fan of Fujifilm's rangefinder-style mirrorless offerings, but you've held off for whatever reason, your time has come. There's no one glaring reason we can point to that might kill the experience for still photography enthusiasts.That sai...
Video is the only weak area, though, and it's unlikely to dissuade many potential customers. The X-E2's only real problem is the strength of the competition among its own X Mount ranks. £1,149 for the 18-55mm kit is a serious investment, but we'd be tempt...
