Question 1

How is the low light performance of this camera?

Accepted Answer

Perform very well under ISO 800, available under ISO 6400, I think this camera is pretty good for low light shots.

Question 2

How is this compared to the Fuji XT-10?

Accepted Answer

Hi Joe,    I have never used the Fuji XT-10 but a few years ago I had a Panasonic Lumix GH-1.  For me, using a dslr makes me feel like I am operating an electronic device that takes very good pics while for whatever reason, the XE2s seems to take a back seat to the actual picture.  You almost forget that you are operating a camera and seem more involved in the picture itself.  You forget about all the settings and become more involved with the subject matter.  I believe it has a lot to do with the form factor of the camera.  It makes you want to take photos.  I just returned from a 2 week vacation and took about 1500 pictures.  I have never in all my many years of photography taken that many photos in such a short period of time.  I surprised myself.  Having said that, there are a number of things that the XT-10 will be able to do that the XE2s cannot.  As much as I love the Fuji and the incredible pictures it takes, I still use a Nikon D750 for most of my work.  But the Nikon and the Lumix have a very different feel.I'm sure you have checked and re-checked the specifications of both cameras.  Don't get caught up in any differences.  And especially don't get caught up with all the "professional" and "wannabe-professionals" on the internet.  They will just make you crazy.  Both cameras will work for you and you will love the results you get.  It comes down to how the camera makes you feel.  There really is a different feel between a dslr and a rangefinder in your hands.  Good luck to you and take a boat load of pictures.

Question 3

Is this a decent camera for long zooms or long non-zooms. Read there was a viewfinder problem?

Accepted Answer

This camera works just fine with any lens from wide angle to telephoto.  I have the 55-200mm lens and the pictures are superb.  As you can imagine, though, the kit becomes front heavy with a long lens.  You end up supporting the lens and the camera becomes just an extension.Also remember that this is a mirrorless camera and is less than ideal for photographing moving objects such as sports or wildlife like birds in flight.  If you are thinking of using the camera/long lens combo for one of these, you may be disappointed.  Or at the least there will be a significant learning curve.  I use my Nikon D750 for those type of assignments as an optical viewfinder really is a must.But I love the Fuji for what it's intended purpose is.  Happy hunting.

Question 4

The amazon product listing doesn't give many details on the kit lens, such as f stop. Is the kit lens the Fujinon XF 18-55mm f2.8-4 R lM OIS?

Accepted Answer

I purchased body only.  I ended up with the 23mm and 55-200.  That sounds about right for the kit lens.  The only kit that Fuji has is the 18-55mm.  Which really isn't a kit from what I've heard... very very good quality, especially at f4-f5.6.
