Fujifilm X-e2 or x-m1?

[sheriffwoody]

I'm debating between these two, and thought I'd see if any of y'all have advice.

The biggest thing giving me pause about the m1: no viewfinder.
The biggest thing giving me pause about the e2: much higher price than m1 for that ONE feature I'd be gaining.

Thoughts?

If it matters, I'd be using this as a supplement for my wedding photography (I shoot a Canon system) and then using it to document personal life stuff...like Disney trips. Mostly using the 27mm 2.8 lens.

Still on the rumor mill, but the X-T10 (cheaper X-T1) is rumored to be coming out next month - http://www.fujirumors.com/fujifilm-x-t10-to-be-announced-in-may-srp-poll-how-much-should-it-cost/. May see some prices move around on the X-E2. Also, the X-E2 has a newer sensor compared to the X-M1. I have the X-T1 myself and love it. Much better than carrying the 7D and heavy glass around on trips.

I ended up getting the e2. I figured a mid-range option was best for me to start on. This will be my first mirrorless! Now watch in less than a week the price will drop $200. Happens to me all the time! haha

I shoot a 5D mk iii, and I've never carried it to the parks. I feel like I'd constantly be bumping it into stuff unless I had a pancake lens on it. I don't know how some folks do it! More power to them . Plus it's my livelihood...so I'd freak out if something happened to it.

Also, thanks so much for your advice!
