Re: Pros & Cons of Fuji X-A1 vs Olympus E-PL7 or E-M10

I'm on the other side of the fence. I find everything about the Olympus system better than Fuji. I owned the XM1 and sent it back and picked up the EM10 and fell in love. The EM10 has better build, touch screen controls, a good EVF, faster and more accurate focusing and of course IBS which means every lens is stabilized. I prefer the selection of Olympus and Panasonic primes, but that's relatively subjective. As far as IQ goes, I prefer the Olympus output (colors, details, dynamic range), I found Fuji color to be inconsistent (cyan skies, pink skin tones) and the metering was all over the place. At $499 I think the EM10 is hard to beat right now.
