I don't think I'd like the XT-1, since I prefer the rangefinder-like bodies without the prism hump - I've hardly used my Canon 30D since I got my X-E2 last December.


I love the Fuji so much that when I go out I have to take IT, with 35, 50 and 85 manual lenses. I carry my LX3 too, just in case I might want to take a wide-angle shot.


The X-E2 is the favorite digital camera I've ever used, and that group includes Canon 1D, 1Ds, 10D, 30D, 1D MkII,

and 5D MkII.   I shot a few frames with an M8, and liked it, but the EVF on the Fuji allows me to use a variety of oddball lenses that I have.
