X-E2's image quality is excellent. The X-Trans system does a good job of getting plenty of detail out of a 16MP sensor and we've not got any serious concerns about its capability now that most popular Raw converters support it well. Its JPEGs are also amongst our favorites, thanks to excellent color response and a well-designed set of Film Simulation modes that give the photographer plenty of strong options in-camera.

Despite their equal number of pixels, the X-E2 beat the X-E1 in resolution test, providing 2475 lines per picture height at ISO 200, about 100 lines more than its predecessor.

We appreciate the improvements Fujifilm made over the X-E1, but depending on your style of shooting, they might not compel X-E1 owners to run out and replace their cameras. Shooters looking for a new alternative to a DSLR should be pleased, though.

I just ran a sync test on these cameras, and two decent sound recorders. The cameras were Fuji X-E2, Panasonic G6 and GX-1; the recorders were Sony PCM-10 and Zoom H2n. All cameras were set to record 720p/30; the reorders recorded WAV files. An clapper board was used for standard in-vision front and end slates.

The two Panasonic cameras and both recorders were frame accurate at the end of 11 minutes; the Fuji X-E2 was 15 frames slow at the second sync point. Totally unacceptable to use in a multicam situation, I believe. Has anyone noticed this?

I realise this could just be this body.

Firmware update released

Enhanced EVF
The firmware will shorten the display lag of the EVF and it enhances the frame rate of the viewfinder.

Selectable colours for outlines for Focus Peaking Highlight
Focus Peaking Highlight is a focus-aiding function that highlights the outlines of areas that have high subject contrast. The firmware allows users to select Blue or Red in addition to the current White to highlight the areas of strong contrast. The strength of the colour display can be also adjusted between High and Low according to the type of your subject or your personal preference.

Added functions that can be assigned to the Fn (Function) button
Users can now assign the "Face Detection" and "EVF/LCD Setting" selection functions to four Fn (Function) buttons on the top and back in shooting mode. When set to "EVF/LCD Setting", the button is used to switch between four modes, i.e. "Eye Sensor Mode" (automatically switching the EVF and LCD displays when the user's eye comes close to the viewfinder), "EVF Only", "LCD Only" and "EVF Only + Eye Sensor".

Added "Suppressed Flash" option when selecting flash mode
Once the firmware is updated, a "Suppressed Flash mode (where the flash does not fire even when the subject is poorly lit)" can be selected from the flash menu.

The X-E2 successfully bridges the gap between compact enthusiast point and shoots and interchangeable lens DSLRs -- and it does a very good job of balancing the features and capabilities of these two very different types of camera. The Fujifilm X-E2 offers more features, better handling, and faster performance than its very popular predecessor. If that's not enough, the X-E2 produces consistently excellent images and makes capturing those images much easier than expected. Image noise has been reduced to negligible levels and straight from the camera images are outstanding.
