Very capable and sturdy
1

I have previously used Sony A6000 so I will compare to that camera here and there. I ditched Sony for two main reasons, lack of fun in shooting (including poor manual controls, and no fun in digging menus) and a need to post process every single photo (I didn't like the default jpg output). I've chosen X-E2 as a compromise between my requirements and my budget. I've bought it second hand with 18-55 kit lens, and soon have added XC50-230 and XF27. Main reasons for choosing Fuji were the opposite of reasons for ditching Sony, and I was not disappointed, even though X-E2 has less resolution, slower autofocus (with FW4.0) and no tilt screen. It's very solid and while it weights more than Sony, it feels very good in hands. If you must have a tilt screen though, it is not a camera for you, I now know I need one, and will be changing to X-T2 soon, as I find X-T20 too small for me.
