Yes
As the title says really, do I buy an E1 now or wait for the E2 to be released ?

I already have an X100s and I'm really pleased with it and the IQ that it can produce and of course I skipped all of the issues that the X100 seemed to have, but and it's a big but, reading all of the threads on here and on other forums the E1 along with it's firmware upgrades seems to be an excellent performer and I'm not sure that the improvement with the E2 will be as big as it was with the X100.

So what do you think? buy now or wait a while?
 
Considering how small the upgrade is and how much more expensive the XE-2 is Id personally go for the XE-1.
 
Same dilemma, have an X100, I've taken a slightly diffrent approach, bought an XE-1 withthe 35mm lens (loevely) and will get the free 18mm from Fuji (deal runs out this weekend) and pre-ordered an XE-2 with the zoom, when it turns up I'll decide what I'm keeping (the 35mm is staying)
 
I own an X-E1 and will eventually upgrade to the X-E2 but not until it comes down in price. However, soon there should be some great price second hand E1s on the market and it is a superb camera and well worth it.
 
With the firmware update on the XE-1 maybe the XE-1,i have an pre order an XE-2 because i have given up DSLR and sold up,just cant carry the weight anymore :)

Well Simon, I know from the other thread that you now have your E2 so eagerly await your comparison........................
 
Too late, found a really good deal with an 18-55 and bought it, if and only if the E2 is streets ahead of the E1 then I'll consider the upgrade, just got to wait for it to be delivered now.
