So far, I'm liking it, but wish I could get results I'm used to with the 
latest ACR DNG converter with my Photoshop.  I have PS5 and when I convert, 
there is a faint hexagonal pattern over the image.  I tried a colleague's 
PS6 with the DNG converter, and no pattern showed up, so it looks like I 
need to upgrade PS.  Before I retired I got used to our office protocol of 
saving RAW files as DNG's and using Bridge for sorting and keywording, and I 
want to continue this with my own pictures.

One thing I wish the X-E2 had was the ability to shoot using the EVF, with 
the back LCD off, and then being able to review the shot on the big screen 
only if I choose.  Now, if I have it set for  shooting with the EVF, I have 
to review using it too.  Or you can set the camera to toggle between EVF and 
LCD depending on whether your eye is at the viewfinder, but this needlessly 
uses more battery power, and I don't want to look after every frame.
