The addition of a touch screen might be of use, but even with that (and the selfie screen) I can't help but think Fuji have really been quite lazy with this update a number of areas where they could and should have improved their entry model and they have failed to address the obvious points.

I don't know if the model supports the remote app, the previous ones only for image transfer which IMO was a waste of the Wi-fi capabilities

The big ones is no viewfinder and whilst I'm ok playing around with the X-M1 I have it would be useful to have even a somewhat modest EVF (nobody expects a top end one but something usable and decent)

Even putting all that to one side, there is just nothing to see here it's a very uninteresting product someone commented on the front page of this site and called it "Fuji's Canon 700d" in other words they did next to nothing the same applies to the XQ2 a pointless re-badging of a not very interesting compact. If Fuji want X mount to take off they will have to put a lot more work in
