Great review, and thanks for sharing! I have had a similar experience as yours with the camera, punches above its weight, looks gorgeous and, for me at least, everything is where it should be. Minimalist, but still easy to use. I also bought the auxiliary hand grip and the LensMate thumb grip, both may be overkill but works for me.

Since we can presume, based on Fuji's prior actions, that we will not get a tilt screen on an X-E4(should there be one) I have two suggestions to improve this camera: 1: A higher resolution EVF with a bit more(.7x) magnification but, most importantly, a good, effective, comfortable eyepiece hood! Is that too much to ask? 2: Also, the rear LCD should be at least double the resolution, Nikon & Canon's mirrorless have it, so should this camera. Makes it so much easier to see if your shot was in focus or to focus manually on the screen.

Bottom line, it is a lovely camera that both performs well and instills pride of ownership. I'm glad that you enjoy yours!

Thanks TheWhiteDog!

And I agree, a few things could be improved in the next generation, such as the viewfinder and LCD. Of the unlikely things to be improved, I'd also like WR and IBIS. I wouldn't mind paying extra for that, but it probably would be difficult to keep the same size.

Still, of the cameras on offer, I find it the best combination of IQ, features, and size.
