I feel you. I'm not a huge fan of the X-T10 if I'm honest (I think it's a decent camera, but not one I would personally get). Fuji is definitely targeting a certain segment and many people may not care for the features that appeal to that segment. There's something hard to explain about the top X series cameras. In terms of actual "camera stuff", they're comparable to other cameras in their price range for the most part. But there's something transcendent about the products themselves that makes it hard for me to switch. I'll put it this way: I'll take my X100T with me on any trip, no matter how small since it's such a pleasure to use and handle. I wouldn't do that with virtually any other camera. It's definitely a different strokes type of thing, but it's made it so much easier to photograph everyday life and not feel like I'm slogging around a DSLR. |

The X-Pro is a bit weird for me to use with zoom lenses. You have to switch to the EVF if using zoom lenses. The larger primes obstruct the OVF ! The X-Pro2 has a control dial layout which can be a bit of an "acquired taste".
I like the X-T lineup. The X-T2 is awesome TBH.
But then none of the lovely primes have optical IS :-/
I consider the X100T, no matter how lovely it is to behold, to be the "thinking photographers' camera". And I don't understand the lens, why is it allowed to focus that close when the image is so soft at closest focus. I had the X100T for a while but didn't go well for me.
Olympus/Panasonic seem to have some very compelling bodies/lenses. With Olympus I could have IBIS and then have access to stabilized primes such as Panasonic Leica 15mm f1.7 and 25mm f1.4.
Currently trying out the X-T10 with 18-55 kit lens and that seems to be coming out good. The lens is stellar between 23mm to 35mm at f/4 and the Classic Chrome film simulation is something I can get behind.
Interesting times these are... choice aplenty we have.
