I can get a Fuji XA1 with the 16-50 for 299€. I have the XE1 and XT1. Am I missing something special by not having the XA1, like better fine detail for landscapes with its Bayer sensor?

Yes.

You already have a nice stable of cameras. Do you really need another?

So, is it just G.A.S. or is it a real need that your other cameras can't fulfill?

Good luck whatever you decide to do.

No GAS. I was wondering about the relative merits of the Bayer sensor for landscapes.

I would get in a split second a Fuji camera with fast AF. I feel frustrated when I get many portraits out of focus because the person being photographed was nervous and moving rapidly.

You have an X-E1 and an X-T1 ... Not sure what the X-A1 is going to bring to the table here.

The Bayer sensor, better for landscapes according to some?

Enrique

You just need a RAW converter that handles X-Trans properly; I believe there was a thread on here showing the difference the RAW converter actually made. X-A1 doesn't resolve any better than X-E1. It's the workflow that matters.

Lightroom's X-Trans performance is a real shame, because imo it's by far the most convenient RAW converter to use. In fact I still use it despite knowing I'm missing out on some foliage detail, the plug ins are just too good to do without.
