I  had a little trouble with the focus switch on the front of my X-E2, but 
it didn't cause me to miss a picture, since I only bought a body and M 
adapter and use manual focus RF lenses.
Moving the switch only shuts off the focus peaking, so I could still focus.  
The exposure comp dial stays put for me, but that might be because I have 
the Thumbs Up that shields the wheel from my thumb.   My biggest frustration 
with the Fuji - I wish I could have it set it to "EVF only" when I'm 
shooting, but have the back LCD come on when I push the button to review the 
shot.  Now, I have to review through the viewfinder.

Even so, I like using this camera more than any DSLR.
