After 2 weeks using the XE1 exclusively, I have come to the conclusion that there are 2 issues that figure significantly.Agree with you. I usually carry two spare batteries for each X series camera. I carry one for each Nikon as a habit anyway.
.......Battery life and view screen size.
I twice discovered the battery was prematurely ( IMO) flat causing me to lose shots. And when switching to the D200 for IR it was like.... looking through patio doors compared to a porthole!
While the image quality is undeniable, the trade off for lightweight portability may be too bitter a pill to swallow.
I will persevere over the next few weeks ....but something, again, is pulling me to the D7000 sitting alongside the D200 in the rucksack.
When showing the viewfinder difference to my wife....even she said the D200, felt like a 'real' camera.
Haven't got the capability to edit images for posting while away ....but will post some on my return.
The EVF is better in the XE1 than the XPro1 but there is OVF in the XPro1 which is missing in the XE1. Compromises!
I refer the larger but not a lot heavier XPro1 to the XE1 but the XE1 is so much smaller physically it is another difficult compromise.
