Fujifilm X-E2

The Fujifilm X-E2 is where the X-mount system truly matured. Upgraded from the X-E1 with a faster processor, improved phase-detect AF, and a higher-resolution EVF, it was the first Fujifilm camera to offer genuinely reliable phase-detect tracking. The 16.3MP X-Trans CMOS II sensor delivers rich, film-like image rendering that still looks beautiful — and Fujifilm's film simulations are as compelling as ever. A rangefinder-style body, intuitive aperture ring controls, and an excellent optical viewfinder make it a rewarding camera to use. A bargain on the used market for anyone who wants the Fujifilm experience.

GearFrame's Take

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.
