Hello,

I planning to replace my old x-e2, and the x-s10 seems to be a nice update. But I am concerned about basically two issues, the viewfinder and the grip.

I saw some comments on how small the x-s10 viewfinder is. But the specs look quite similar to the x-e2 and I am quite comfortable with its viewfinder. Should I expect a downgrade on the viewfinder size and quality?

Regarding the grip, do you think there is enough room for the fingers when using the 16-55mm. I really love this lens and planning to sacrifice it for a new camera body. Do you have any experience with this combo? Is there enough room left for the fingers?

I appreciate all comments and insights!

Cheers

If you don't use glasses then the viewfinder is completely fine, and if you use them, then most probably it is still usable.

When you have small-mid sized hands, the 16-55mm will fit wonderfully to the X-S10, when you have larger hands the knuckles may go against the lens, but should still be usable.
