I said I won't buy more fuji, and here we go, I've got two of them

I sold my X100T with the idea that I will have a little pause in new gear (maybe wait till F is cheaper) and then what do you think, walked in best buy and they had X-pro2 graphite with the 23mm for $1350. I checked the price online which seems at least $800 higher so what the heck and bought it. Then went to another bestbuy and they had X70 for $470. Why they are doing this to me! Darn BB with their weird pricing. Of course I've got that one as well!

The x-pro2 with the 23mm is truly now a dslr speed focus - finally after so many generations and promises of fastest camera ever, they got there! But the X70 is not a slouch either. Not as fast focusing, but pretty reliable. Still feels somehow faster than the x100t but the size is actually pretty incredible. By all means it is a tiny X100 without VF. I think I like it more than the x100 and the Auto switch is a clever idea. For me the EVF/OVF on X100 was a good idea on paper but I actually ended up never using it and used only LCD so the X70 is amazingly the exactly x100 I wanted in first place. Strangely I like it better than the x-pro2 as well.

Only thing that bugs me now is that I sold my x100T with all my batteries because I thought I won't use them ever - and x70 uses those exact ones.

Not sure what to do with the x-pro2, it was good deal, but selling one fuji and buying 2 is a bit too much. Still I have 30 days to decide.
