In this post I review the Fujifilm X-E2, the good, the bad and the ugly (mostly all good)
I have split this hands-on review into 2 parts, Part 1 (below) is the look and feel and all the features of this great camera, and then part 2 (further down the page) I look at the images this camera produces.
Part 1: (First look, the build and handling)
Summary:
Whats this camera great for?
- Travel photography (light and easy to use)
- Everyday events – kids
- Landscape photography
- Behind the scenes photography
Pros:

- Top Image Quality (very impressed – click on the images in this post for a larger look)

Cons:

Hi Brent. Thanks for the review. What is the grip accessory that you have on the camera? It looks like a perfect match.
I don’t know much about this model. What else about it? The review doesn’t tell us much other than a few of the pros and cons. What about features like: image size, screen size, how is the EVF? Does it have peaking? How does it compare to other mirrorless models? Is it menu driven or buttons?
Apparently I missed the videos – watching now!
No worries – I have not had another mirrorless camera to compare this one to, so I can not comment on those things. Brent
