Actually i'm quite curious. under what kind of situations will it start to hunt? Cos usually when I half-depress the button, the beep sound comes on almost instantly, with the green box.

It hunts during low light.. Especially if you turn off AF illuminator
yAH...got to live with it for now. Not really impossible becos im strictly using MF lenses right now. Normally when i finished with focusing..and half press to frame, the evf will lag..but i will ignore it and press full shutter..with imaginery framing..most of the time after i compose, framing movement is very slight...
So far so good...but i agree the evf lags...try a few more times bro...n then u will get use to it..

Yes, I think it is the worst EVF for MF compared to other mirrorless cameras' top offerings. Anyway, one gets used to it as you pointed out.
And for AF, I wonder why Fuji had to place the function of moving the square focus point under the AF button. This is really a cumbersome way and can slow one down, as if the EVF refresh rate was not enough pain

@dw8888:
I strongly suggest you go try it out at the shop, or better still try a friend's copy and get acquainted with it.
Take your time and play with it for no amount of mulling or reading spec-sheets online would help as much.
I was similarly worried about the EVF, manual-focusing and lack of 'peaking' as I was planning to use M-Mount lenses on it.
Turns out it works fine for me, frankly I am happy with the handling and focusing.
The camera does have its quirks, but it is also stellar in other areas such as IQ, high ISO performance, size, etc.
So you really do have to try it out and see if it suits your specific needs.
If you are interested in my personal thoughts on it, you can see here.
Hope this helps!

I agree with u.. my lux is fixed on my X-E1 most of the time... d XF 35mm f/1.4 Fujinon is a great lens though, i do use it once awhile. Cheers.
