The Fuji lineup is a bit of a mixed bag IMHO.

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.

The X100T is only soft in macro when wide open. Stopped down below 2.8 and it's fine. But wide open it's worse than soft - there is a kind of haze to the image.
