What to do? -- a "this Fuji or this Fuji" problem?

Lately I've been contemplating of upgrading my Fuji X-E1 camera to a more newer, better focusing and more feature Fuji body. I've been a avid follower of Fuji Cameras. I really like how they innovate. And the way they render the images.

 

I'm not pro. I don't know the technicalities. I just like the way it capture images. And I they are fairly priced.

 

So I did try to research what Fuji camera should I buy. 

 

And I did found out that Fuji X-Pro2 was already released. I got excited. I've been waiting this for so long that I immediately wanted to take a look at the price. Then I found out the price. Oh my, It's not cheap! :D 

 

So I pondered more..

 

If I'm going to spend this money, I better research more... And then further internet surf made me found out that Fuji X-T2 will be released soon. So got more excited. I would assume they have the same level of price. And from the paper, X-T2 would be better suited for me. I wanted a screen that can be tilted; because sometimes, I'm feeling like an artist that I shoot on the ground or at the waist level. :) hehe! And those autofocus points. Wow!

 

So I think I'm settled. I'm going to order X-T2.

 

That's what I thought! :D

 

Questions began coming in.. Do I really need this? Am I willing to spend this money for the camera that I only use from not so often?

 

So I pondered further....

 

Then I found about X100T, a little older one. I mostly shoot street kind of photos so this definitely suits me. It's small and a little cheaper. But wait! No tilted screen :( . Oh my. If I didn't found about the tilted screen on X-T2, I might be getting this one. But I really wanted that tilted screen now. (should I compromise?)

 

So I pondered even further...

 

I found Fuji X30.  Looks good--The reviews are nice too. It takes good shots, and small too. And cheap. :) (1-2 year old :D)

Ok. I think this is the camera. 

 

I begin to get doubts. What If I focus on lens instead? O man,

 

Then I found Fuji X-70. I am now settled.
