Hi all,

I've found (used) these combos at roughly the same price:

  • Fuji X-E3 + 18-55 f2.8-f4
  • Olympus PEN-F + 12-40 f2.8 PRO

I've read a lot of reviews and comparisons online (and I'm more undecided than ever).

I'm looking for a "funny" camera, something that it's a pleasure to use. I'm an amateur, 10 years ago I was more involved in photography, now I shoot as a hobbyist, I take mainly pictures of my family, friends, no professional work, but I obviously care about the quality.

I know it's a Fuji forum, but I'm confident that the opinions won't be too much biased.

Thank you in advance

I have both cameras and both lenses in your comparison. I would recommend the Fuji kit for a number of reasons though the 12-40 is one of the best lenses. I find it heavy and prefer the weight and the image quality of the Fuji kit.

I use my Pen F primarily with 12/2, 15/1.7, 17/1.8 and 14-140 mk. 2 for a really small city travel kit.
