Fujifilm X-E2 Summary
Fuji X-E2 Assessment
The Fuji X-E2 follows the X-E1 with another unique X-Trans CMOS II sensor with 16 MP and no anti-aliasing filter, this time adding fast Phase-Detect autofocus on-sensor.
The X-E2 delivers image-quality that rivals APS-C DSLRs. Noise-levels are impressively low and the dynamic range is simply spectacular. Metering is reliable and sharpness quite competitive.
This mirrorless is generally fast and its hybrid AF-system among the top of its class. The retro-styled body features a mechanical yet highly customizable interface which makes it quite efficient to use. The high-resolution EVF is superb and makes framing very comfortable.
The Fuji X-E2 manages a splendid mix of quality, performance and ergnomics which is rarely seen among mirrorless cameras. This gives a plenty of potential to the growing Fuji X-mount platform.
