I understand the camera differences and that isn't the issue. I'm looking for the best performance, and you say both are identical I'll have to decide which is more important to me, the extra stop in low light and compactness of the 100t or the versatility of an interchangeable zoom of the e2s. Both of these are attractive features of me. Might be best to go for the e2s, in which I can add a prime lens later.

First time poster to this forum. A little history: I've come from a semi-pro photo background in the 80s/90s with my final kit being F3, FM2n, 20 2.8, 35 1.4, 85 1.4, 180 2.8 After a long hiatus...now for the last 8 years I've been using a Canon G10 (28-140 equivalent) P&S camera for travel and street. Years ago I've grown weary of its limitations and inadequate photos so I seldom use it. My Fujicamera options: I'm wanting to step up to a more serious outfit and compact rangefinder, and have admired the X100 since it's released. I will use my new Fuji camera it for travel, nature, street, and frequently shoot hand held in low light. The 2 cameras that fit my budget are the X-E2s w/ 18-55 and X100t. (My dream camera would be the X-Pro2, but it is out of reach.) I like the versatility of the E2s w/ zoom, and the faster lens and compactness of the X100t. Does one excel over the other in picture quality and low light shooting? Or is there any benefit to a X-E2s w/ 35 2.0 lens? Is there anything else that stands out over the other that would give the edge for general photography? Mike Oops, I think I posted this in the wrong section. Can a moderator please post it correctly?
