X-E2 vs X-Pro 1

Hey guys,

It's been about two years since I owned a X-T3 and I loved it. That lead me to purchase another Fujifilm's camera - X100V. I realise that the more I use Fuji's cameras, the more I feel the 'joy' of taking pictures, I guess. Especially with the X100V, I find myself actually loving the optical viewfinder.

I mostly shoot landscapes, sometimes Street photography. I do have range of Fujifilm's native lenses, but I find myself generally leaning towards third party manual lenses for more 'filmic' looks.

So now I'm on the quest to find next Fuji cameras to purchase, and I came to these two Fuji cameras; X-E2, and X-Pro 1. They are both about the same price on the used market.

Here are few Pros and Cons that I think of these cameras.

X-E2:

Pros

- Relatively smaller size

- More modern Viewfinder

- Proper focus peaking (Using red colour instead of X-Pro1's white)

- Generally 'faster', as it's more modern

Cons

- No optical viewfinder

- Worse Grip (I'm not too sure about this, but X100V has worse grip than X-T3)

-Uses X-Trans II sensor (From what I can gather generally not favoured by many).

X-Pro1:

Pros

- Optical Viewfinder

- Better grip (again, not too sure)

- X-Trans I Sensor

Cons:

- Bigger

- Electronic Viewfinder's laggy

- Generally slower operation as it's a 9 year old camera

- Not so good focus peaking in Black and White (Using white instead of red)

Did I miss any other points than these? How's the grip of X-E2 compared to X-Pro 1? Is X-Pro 1's electronic viewfinder that much worse than X-E2? How would X-Trans I sensor compare to X-Trans II?

Thanks,

Jack
