Re: XA1 and XE1

I'm sorry, I don't think you can compare anything because of the exposure and ISO differences, and you don't tell us if the JPEG settings were the same or what film simulations were chosen, etc.

You've also got two different capture dates (4 years apart) - haze / mist / visibility? Hand-held with OIS or not? Tripod?

I'm sure you're pleased with the output of the 16-50mm and X-A1, and it might be better for you than the X-E1, but on the basis of what you've told and shown us here, this really is no useful comparison at all IMO.

PS - I almost bought a used X-A1 just out of interest to compare with the X-E1, but as I'd never use it (no EVF) I didn't bother in the end.
