Digital Gear Downgrade?

I recently made a tough decision. I sold my Fuji X-E4 which is equipped with the X-Trans IV sensor. Comparatively, I found the images from the X100V to have a much cleaner look, even though they had the same 26.1 MP and sensor.

Why did I choose to do this? Thus far, my go-to has always been the X-E4. It was light, compact, had great features (e.g., tilting screen) and was an overall great experience in hand. After all, I had already chosen to get rid of two cameras (100V and Canon AE-1P) due to the “feel”, or perhaps absence of inspiration.

Welp, I chose to target my style by mimicking what I was doing on the analog side with the digital side. I sold the X-E4 to support the purchase of the X-Pro2.

The X-Pro2 has features that the X100V supported that I never used; it was not part of my style at the time. But now, I can use those advantageously to improve my photography overall. There will be little difference when changing from one medium to the other.

I first got to use the X-Pro2 at a local photo-walk and enjoyed its functionality. Not to mention many compliments on its look! I can tell that we’re in for some good things with the X-Pro2. Stayed tuned.

P.S. Shoutout to the X-E4. It supported me well and assisted me in my overall progression. A few of the features that were indispensable, in my opinion, were: the tilt down screen, the programmability in buttons (I just was comfortable with my own setup) and USB supported battery charging!
