Fuji X-T100, experience so far

Reading the various comments the X-T100 seems interesting also for a relationship of quality and price. With current prices you buy X-T100 + 15-45mm + 23mm F2 at the same price as X-T20 with only 15-45mm. I do not think the extra features that X-T20 has compared to the X-T100 can create such a large price gap. Without going into the merits with the many lenses that Fujifilm owns, is it possible to see how X-T100 behaves in low light conditions with the 15-45mm and 23mm f2 lenses? Alternatively, which lens are recommended for urban street photographs in low light conditions? I'm looking for a valid alternative to my old Samsung NX, which now seems destined to end its life cycle. I attach some reference photos made with my Samsung NX that I would like to shoot soon and maybe improve with a new mirrorless that could be a Fuji X. Images resized to 1600x1200. Thanks

Robyfor, your options with f2 zooms are 18,23,35,50,90, there is also 14 2.8, 27 2.8 and 60 2.4 macro, an 80 2.8 macro also exists but its big and expensive but has ois too, I might get one actually as it also supports the 1.4x.

Regarding the above images, I think you will really enjoy the 35 1.4, this is not a fast focus motor lens but for low light it is very affordable, light and looks superb. I currently have the 35 f2, it has a nice focus motor but I actually will be swapping or even adding the 35 1.4, the new 33 f 1 is overkill imo and they would of been better to make 33 1.2.

I haven't done a lot of this type of shooting with the x-t100 as usually I do this stuff on holiday, I will do some things over the next week for you though in iso1600-6400 in the evening with the 18-55 2.8-4, and my primes, 18,27,35,56 1.2 I also have a 12mm samyang manual lens f2 in x-mount too. I strongly believe you will have no problem doing similar/better with x-t100 and the prime selection above, check out the 35 1.4!
