It's all about looks. We are in a hipster-driven time of retro. I can't say 
that I'm all that drawn to one or the other, I think both my EM5ii and my 
GX7 are good looking cameras that look like a camera and not a well used bar 
of soap, but that's so unimportant to me in that I'd rather have an ugly 
camera with great images than a great looking camera with lousy innards.

======================================================================
Every time the X-T2 (or some other similar cameras) is mentioned, it makes
me wonder -
why does it (they) have a pentaprism hump if it's mirror-less???

One of the reasons I love my X-E2 is that has a flat top like a Leica M; no
DSLR bulge.
