A satisfying and well rounded conclusion. Indeed Fuji got this type of cameras generally right. Although apart from Fuji, only Sony I believe makes compact rangefinder style cameras with APS-C sensor, and for some reason I stay away from Sony when it comes to photography.

I briefly owned an X-E2s that I generally enjoyed. But shooting in bright light would hit the eye sensor and the evf would shut off.

That's why the X-E1 has a dedicated button to quickly toggle between EVF only, LCD only and auto modes.

The X-E2 has no dedicated button with this functionality but you can assign the EVF toggle to any custom button.

As you say very handy in very bright light.


I believe the evf on the X-E2(s) has a higher magnification than on later X-E models?

The eye point is very large with X-E1, X-E2(s).

All the modern Fuji cameras except for the X-T3 and X-T4 (don't know about the the X-H2s) have EVFs with very short eye points making it very hard for people with glasses to use the EVFs.
