1) FR-reader Roger informed me that he got shipping confirmation from AmazonUS for his X-E2.

2) The X-E2 owner’s manual is also available here (thanks Amnon).

3) Part III of soundimageplus review is online here. This time he looks into the video function on the X-E2. Click here if your wanna read part V: manuaf focus, EVF and more about the AF. In Part VI at soundimageplus it’s X-E2 vs GH3. And the winner is? Discover it here. And there is also part VII here (X-E2 with the 18mm and RAW processing).

4) Randall Cipriano went on vacation with the X-E2. Read his experience here: “Long exposures are still clean even after crossing the 2 minute mark. The shot above is 4 minutes long and the quality is just about the same as what I get from my D600 and leaps and bounds cleaner than my old APS-C dslr.  […] Pushing the exposure 2 stops and pulling the shadows 70% in this jpeg still resulted in minimal noise apart from the sky on the upper right where the ND grad filter was concentrated. The image is clear of any pattern noise or banding. […] For those who have used an X-Series camera, you probably know that these output fantastic high-ISO images out of the camera. It’s even hard to get the same level of jpeg noise processing the camera does for RAW files in post.”

5) Check out Ralf’s X-E2 review on his youtube channel here (German video). He says that the two problems with the X-E1 are solved: EVF is now smooth and focus is faster.
