not many used xe2 for sale...

[back alley]

been keeping a half eye open for an xe2 but not many for sale...rather not get a new one, prefer not from a store but private sales have dried up on forums and locally on kijiji...
i'm wondering if folks are holding on to them waiting for the anticipated firmware upgrade?

I expect used XE2's to pop up when the Xpro2 and or XE3 get here.

hadn't thought of that...people holding on to them waiting for newer models...

I've been looking at these on ebay and the NY stores websites. Several E2 listings on these sites, but none for less than 550-600 USD for body only. About twice the price of used E1s. Need a new model to drop prices.

Adorama has a black one for $499, but you can buy brand new for $699

the currency exchange is killing buying from the states...the local market is small, much smaller than frank's toronto market...

It could be people are simply pleased with their XE2s and aren't motivated to upgrade or switch. The X-Pro 2 probably won't appeal to many XE2 owners... especially after the firmware upgrade.

The putative XE3 is another story. I wonder if it will appear in time for the 2016 Holiday season?

the xe1/2 bodies are the ideal ones for me…

Happy enough with xe1. For now.

If the xpro v2 or XE3 has some "pro" features and a new sensor I might jump.
Dual card slots and more processor are At the top of my list.
Xe2 is nice with a bit better AF and evf but not really much different than the xe1 the way I use these cameras. Not enough to "upgrade" for me.

the xe1 and 2 are very similar…i just prefer 2 of the same cameras…been that way for a long time now...
