Second body after x-t2?

Hi, I've got an x-t2 after selling my nikon FF gear. I have some nice glass (1.4 primes and 2.8 zooms.).

 

I'd like to get a second body that I can use my lenses with. Something pocketable with the 27mm pancake on, but be able to use it with other glass if needed.

 

Question is, what should I get. Don't have loads of money for it as it's just a spare camera. Probably £300 or so. Happy with a second hand body. It will be funded by the sale of my remaining nikon j5 and 10-30mm which still (surprisingly) command decent second hand prices.

 

Old x-e1, x-m1, x-pro 1??

 

Can you give me some pointers. Still newish to the x ecosystem.

 

Thanks.

Andy

For £300 you could certainly get a used X-E2 and quite possibly a X-E2s. I'd go for the latter. If you like the DSLR style of your X-T2, maybe a used X-T10 would be a good option. Whilst all of these have a lower resolution sensor and lesser AF capacity when compared to an X-T2, they are very decent and as a second camera, not to be sniffed at! Try MPB or Ffordes both of which stock used Fuji and seem to me to be decent camera shops.

 

I'd avoid the X-Pro1 and X-E1 simply because they are older models the ones I've mentioned above are better specified and a bit younger.

Thanks for that. It's quite amazing that your can get an xe2 for well under £300.

Is the x m1 worth looking at? It's a bit smaller and doesn't have the proper dials but does have the same sensor.

I'll go and have a look at the size of the xe2 in a shop. See if it's small enough.

Thanks for your advice.

Andy
