I have just gotten the x-e1 few days back, and the IQ is really fantastic...read tons of review before deciding on x-e1
Other than an improvement in AF and a newer processing chip for x-e2, IQ are the same for both, so I found it not worthwhile paying the extra 500bucks
A few of my friends have also gotten x-e1 these past few months
For us, its really a darn good travel/casual/food/backup camera!
Our heavy and bulky FF can finally leave it at home or for more serious work
