With the X-E line "growing up", I am a bit torn. On one hand, I do believe that the X-E should grow into a mature X-EPro line that contains top of the line Fuji technology and qualtiy. Yet, the size and weight of the original X-E will be missed. There is nothing like an X-E3 and the Fujicrons to be out on the street or at a social event and not being noticed.
If the X-E grows into an X-EPro, I am doubtful that Fuji will maintain a smaller option (unless one counts the X-M line as an option, which I don't for lack of a VF).
But in general, I am pretty interested in the "new" X-E line. It might even make be bite the apple and get it with despite the 40MP sensor (which I dislike and don't need. After all, it is only adding 0,5x more crop to the 26MP sensor if one wants to keep the output 4K).
There is the enigma. The small and light and inexpensive XE seems like a pretty useful tool in many cases, and a big part of its appeal has been its low cost. With that part of its DNA gone, how will lt do? I’m not sure. And is there sufficient interest to support ye another Fujifilm camera that would probably be in the price range of a bunch of others should a “XEPro” be introduced?
