The X-E1 will have the same image quality of the X-Pro 1. It will be good. I have owned and used them all.

Getting the X-E2 will give you the Classic Chrome film simulation that the X-E1/Pro1 doesn't have.

In the hand they feel the same for the most part with the X-E1 being lighter.

The X-Pro 1 is bigger but always felt hollow to me.

The difference between the two X-E cameras for me was the rear LCD screen. The X-E2 LCD is bigger 3in compared to 2.8in. The X-E2 has twice the resolution at 1,040,000 dots.

The autofocus of the X-E1 is contrast detect.

The X-E2 also has phase detect. The X-E2 does faster faster.

Image quality to me was the same. I still own an X-E2. My second in fact.

Both (X-E1 and E2) are a bargain. Both are great cameras still today. I wouldn't get an X-Pro1. Getting a really good condition one will be hard and cost more than an X-E2.

If it were my choice I would get an X-E2. Absolute bargain and can be purchased second hand looking like new.
