I'm not a great fan of the EVF, to me it seems it has a little lag/pixelated.
I got the X-E1 a coupe months ago but used it at a wedding last Saturday. It was good for the documentary shots and I used the screen as opposed to the EVF, but I used my DSLR's for the posed shots.
Saying that I do love the X-E1 and take it everywhere with me, so much niced than carrying a big camera bag...
