I have both an X-M1 with the original 27mm (an extraordinary combination that is still my go to very small camera) and an X-T10 with the new 27mm WR, alongside my X- T2. I also have an X100T that I am probably going to sell. I hate to admit it, but I have barely touched it since I got the 27mm WR.

I have actually be considering picking up one of the small Fuji bodies and having not considered it I have now added the M1 to that list. I currently have X-S10 and X-T4 and while the X-S10 is a superb little camera I think I could go smaller still.

A decent camera with no bells and whistles sounds good and one that I can use any of my current X-lenses on is even better - this is one reason why I'm ruling out all of the fixed focal length bodies.

I just wonder, while the M1 is clearly a competent camera are there any nuances that may make it a little frustrating to use for someone who is more familiar with the higher end bodies? Opinion and reviews do seem generally favourable (even those written within the past year) but I couple have said the interface can be laggy and clunky with quite a few useful features missing. However the negative opinions are few in number and may be as much to do with the user(s).
