The body of this compact system camera is fashioned from a magnesium alloy on the upper and lower surfaces. This makes the camera not only lightweight but also very robust. Striking features are the large aluminium control dials on the upper end, allowing for immediate access to the functions and providing familiar feedback with a click sound when rotat-ed. The leather texture of the body lends the camera a comfortable tactile feel.
Statement by the Jury
With its characteristic body texture and large control dials, the X-E2S is a successful reminder of the analogue camera age.
