GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Street & Casual — X-E2 (2013): The X-E2 is where the X-mount system matured. The X-Trans II sensor delivers rich, film-like rendering that still looks beautiful, and the rangefinder-style body is slim and pocketable. Manual aperture ring support, a quality EVF, and Fujifilm's colour science make it a rewarding camera to use. A bargain on the used market for anyone who wants the Fujifilm experience without the modern price tag.
Street, Travel & Everyday Photography — X100F (2017): The X100F is the camera that made the X100 series legendary — 24MP X-Trans III, a hybrid viewfinder, and the best fixed 35mm compact lens available.
