    Gilzuma got a reaction from e3_user in XE2 to XE3 - worth the upgrade?   
    I upgraded, and love it.  I do with the viewfinder was larger, however it is still quite good.  Even when wearing my glasses I can see the full frame.  I turned off the touch screen, because I'm a left eye shooter... nose... screen... no good.  I still had enough customizable buttons for all the features I use most.  The ISO doesn't bother me because I used a button for that.
    Auto focus speed is up, and photo quality is pretty amazing with the newish sensor.  I couldn't go back.  I love the small size and shape.  It's a beautiful camera, yet doesn't attract huge attention (and as an introvert that is a great asset).
    Are the SLR Styled camera's more flexible?  probably.  Do I need that flexibility?  No.  The real question for you is, what do you use.  What do you need?

    Gilzuma got a reaction from le boecere in Should i buy Fuji x-e2 in 2019   
    I love the X-E series.  I just upgraded to the X-E3 because I found the 80mm macro a tad slow with it.  If it weren't for the fact that I was buying the XF80 I probably wouldn't have upgraded.  It was fast enough for everyday activities... family, vacation, day outings etc.  Image quality is excellent up to ISO 3200 and quite usable to ISO 6400.  I definitely recommend it on a limited budget, prices are quite low right now (used).
    I wish the X-E3 had maintained the same size of camera and viewfinder... sometimes it's just a little small.  It works well with the kit lens (XF18-55) and the XF55-200.  Makes for an amazing starter set.

    Gilzuma got a reaction from jlmphotos in 18-135 mm or 55-200 mm lens?   
    I don't know if I'm too late to the conversation, but here goes anyways.  I recently went to Paris, Marseille, and Switzerland on the trip of a lifetime.  It was short trip, but amazing.  I'm so glad that I had the 18-55, 55-200 and Rokinon 12mm.
     
    I used the Rokinon 12mm for a lot of landscapes (just like you would with your 10-24)
    The 55-200 was great for those times when I wanted the extra reach.  The lens wasn't heavy so I wasn't too concerned about carrying it all day.
    The 18-55 was nice all around walking about lens.  It was also great for going indoors as it is relatively bright (2.8-4.0) and is very light.
     
    Personally I would buy the 55-200 over the 18-135 again.  The 18-135 is a bit bulky and a little heavier.  It's not as bright for indoor shots and not quite as sharp (based on the reviews I've read) especially at the longest end (which is the whole point of the extra reach right?).  Also the 55-200 has an extra 65mm of reach... or in full frame terms, nearly 100mm.
     
    Good luck!  But no matter what you do, you'll end up with great stuff, because fuji don't make no crap!

    I'd love a 50-150 f4 lens. Something smaller and lighter than the 2.8 that is out now. Also love a 35mm f2.8 1:1 macro lens like Pentax has too.

    Thanks Olli.  They are whale sharks, and I got lucky!  Definitely come and visit, it's the second largest aquarium in the world.

    Congratulations on the new camera. I'm also using the X-E2. Nice shot of the aquarium - it looks like those sharks(?) were co-operating. As an aquarium fan I may have to put Okinawa on my 'to visit' list now. It looks impressive.
