I will also be getting the XE1 to use with this lens.

But it just dawned on me, the slightly slower X100s is only a few hundred dollars more than the cost of the 23mm. What do you think about that?

I can still use the XE-1 with the 18-55 kit , but for a few hundred more I can have a second body, leaf shutter, etc.

I found raw files from the Nex 5N and the Nex 7 to be quite good, A77 and A99, not so much. Nikon really knows how to optimize their sensors. I wouldn’t look any further and be totally satisfied with the Fuji System – if it weren’t for video, which has become a vital part of my work now. And when it comes to video, Sony is very hard to beat.

This didn’t really hit home until I saw the new Fuji XE-2 released images last night and my thoughts were vindicated about the Sony files. The A7 files have no soul – and I don’t want to just say “Pop” – because it’s more than that. There is a secret rendering sauce, that even when shot in raw, Sony just doesn’t get/have, when against Fuji and Nikon. I don’t know what it is — as I really want to like the A7 – but now I’m leaning toward the developments coming from Fuji and may have to be satisfied with APS-c and these new “X” series systems. I also surprised no one is really talking about this aesthetic.
