Thanks, but the light conditions are still not that low, at least looking at the histogram, shutter, aperture and iso. The objects had plenty of contrast and that is a best case scenario. Also the 18-55 zoom is at its worst when fully extended.

Well, 18-55 is at ISO 3200, F3.2, 1/125s so it is pretty poor interior lighting, so ok it's not in total darkness but it depends whether you think this test is some kind of bake-off between top-end cameras at the extreme end of what's possible, or a simple test in challenging but not uncommon lighting conditions.

The pics look like the kind of thing the Fuji does well - the colors in this situtation come out well, the noise is well controlled, and the image stabilisation copes well as the shutter speed slows down. But if you don't own a X-E1/X-Pro1 you might consider this unproven (I have one, so I'm happy)

The OP could have posted a couple of pics but I know from tests I've done that after a dozen shots there's always some that have come out better than others and posting images works best when the OP can say "look at this, it's the best shot I got in these circumstances" (e.g. here's my magnificent dusk landscape) so at least the reader is clear how the image has been selected.
