I purchased the XE-2 and pre-ordered the XT-1 on the same day knowing it would be a 3 month wait for the XT-1 to show up. I had considered getting rid of the XE-2 but I've found that I really like it in certain situations. I agree with the previous post...there is
pretty much little resale value in used cameras, so I tend to keep them or give them to someone who is going to appreciate it. I've decided with the XE-2 that I am going to have it converted to infrared by http://www.lifepixel.com when I do eventually get a 3rd body. If I were you I would keep the XE-2 because from what I understand the firmware upgrade is going to be almost identical to 4.0 for the XT-1.
