My X-E2 has become my favorite digital camera I ever used, which includes
Canon 1D MkII and 5D Mk II, so I hope you
get to like yours.  It's a perfect size, and takes the same lenses, so I
love it almost as much as my M3.

The thing that I'd most like it to do is to be able to shoot using the eye
sensor EVF, but then have the
rear LCD come on when I push the image review button (I usually keep the
LCD off).  It's a bother to have to use the menu to
switch between the two views.

BTW, if I remember my art history correctly, I think St. Trophime is
renowned as a Romanesque church, not Gothic.
