X-E2 on rank 2, 4, 6 and 10

Share

In my previous post I wrote that the X-E2 is selling very well at AmazonUS. I’ve said this after checking their camera rankings. As FR-reader lettherebelight said in an older post: “The Amazon metric is widely used because it gives people without access to internal data the opportunity to take a snapshot in time and compare the current trend of a certain product(s). […]. Amazon is one of the largest retailers in the world and the data suggests what people are buying […]. It is a good metric.”

 

How to…

Here is how you can support Fujirumors: if you think the X-E2 is the camera that meets your needs and you want to pre-order it, feel free to use one of the links below. FR will get a small commission and it won’t cost you one single penny extra. Thanks in advance for every FR-reader who places his pre-order via Fujirumors. It’s a great help to keep the site ticking over.

“The X-Pro1 will become the backup to the X-E2” (Riley Joseph)

[I’ve already share Fuji’s X-E2 high-res samples at Fuji’s website here (and XQ1  here). For the X-E2 Brochure click here and here is the features page. The Brochure says that the X-E2 (AF-speed 0,08 sec.) has the fastest AF speed among digital cameras equipped with a 4/3-inch or larger sensor. Measurement conducted by Fujifilm research based on CIPA guidelines using the X-E2 equipped with [shoplink 12888]XF14mmF2.8 R lens[/shoplink] in High Performance mode as of September 2013.]

It seems that for Riley Joseph, the X-PRO1 isn’t Fuji’s flagship anymore! It has become the back-up camera of the X-E2. Why? You can read it here:

“The X-E2 inherits the X-Trans II sensor and the phase & contrast auto focus from the X100S. In using the camera I found the auto focus to be very accurate and snappy. Definitely better than my X-Pro1. And that is not even using the phase detection because my lenses do not have the required firmware updates for the camera. […] And in another suprise (to myself especially) the X-Pro1 will become the backup to the X-E2. At least until the X-Pro2 turns up.”

You can find one more first impressions article at KaleJF here. And check out also Rico’s first look (with more then 200 comments) here (for Rico’s XQ1 Flickr set click here).

Our X-pert Rico will get his production XQ1 soon (and write a first look about it. In the meantime see his XQ1 Flickr set here). If you’ve checked out his X-E2 first look here then you’ll know that it will be worth to read it… in his X-E2 first look Rico called the XQ1 “an X20 on steroids“. Looking forward to his review in the next days! So stay tuned via google+, facebook and twitter.

In the meantime it’s well worth to read also the XQ1 first impressions at DPreview here:

The XQ1, therefore, takes the larger-than-usual 2/3″ sensor that we found offered very good image quality in the Fujifilm X20, and places it in a genuinely pocketable body. That X-Trans CMOS II sensor also enables exceptionally fast autofocus – even the pre-production XQ1 we used for this article has to count as one of the quickest compacts we’ve seen. For fans of manual focus, the XQ1 also offers a ‘Peaking’ display to help get the sharpest results.”

What a day yesterday! Two new cameras (X-E2 – X-pert corner first look here – and XQ1) and a new firmware for the classic X100 (download here). Now, the following video compares the AF-speed of the X100 (old firmware) with the X100 featuring the firmware ver.2.0. And what do you think about your tuned X100?

As you already read in the X-pert corner special of the X-E2, (must read, also the very interesting discussion in the comments!) “the EVF/LCD refresh rate has been significantly improved from 20 fps to 50-60 fps in low light“. What this means can be seen in the following video shared via youtube by Randall Cipriano. Randall says that “as you can see, the X-E2 has been vastly improved showing very little lag which was one of the major weaknesses of the X-E1.”

vastly improved EVF, faster AF and much more (read here) = great news :)
