I still have and use both and see little reason to change.. My son uses the X-E1 with the 18mm f2 and 27mm f2.8 pancake lenses while cycling. You can get the screw on lenses for the X100S to also have 28mm and 50mm, for a bit of flexibility, if you wish. Both have decent low light capabilities, nothing to complain about https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/801932278-USE/fujifilm_16272394_x_e1_mirrorless_digital_camera.html https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/801936163-USE/fujifilm_16416445_x100s_digital_camera_black.html Cheers Jayanand On Mon, May 27, 2019 at 11:09 AM Nathan Wajsman <photo at frozenlight.eu> wrote: > Many of the cycling photos I have posted in the past few months are made > with my10 years old Panasonic GF1 and a newly purchased 12-32mm lens which > collapses into an extremely compact package. > > I love the handling of the GF1.
