Fujifilm X-T100 or Olympus E-M5 Mark II

Good day folks,

I'm trying to decide what to chose between these 2 and would value an opinion.

I used to have an X-E2 but there are some things I want that it didn't have; the only lens that I have currently is a 27mm f2.8 so existing gear is not really a deterrent in switching.

Must haves:

- touchscreen, WiFi (at least), selfie screen (wife and family shots), viewfinder

Using the side-by-side comparison feature I ended up with a few entries, eliminated anything too old or too expensive, and this is what I have left.

I don't do much video so I don't really care about that, neither camera excels in that regard anyway.

Facts:

- I do love the Fuji colors, although Olympus doesn't seem that bad either

- I'm a casual shooter, family vacations and whatnot, so mostly landscape and "face" shots with a pretty background

- weather sealing for the Oly sounds very nice

The only turn-off for the X-T100 is the fact that people keep mentioning AF is bad (I do single shots), and that the overall camera is sluggish.

Coming from the X-E2, do you think I'd notice a difference in performance? I was perfectly happy with that and I don't really care if it doesn't match the latest X-T3 and whatnot.

I have both X-E2 and X-T100 and with 15-45 on both it is hard to tell a difference in focus speed. The X-E2 might have a slight edge but really hard to tell. The X-T00 is a very solid little camera.

Help a brother out eh?
