This post compares the two cameras with just the light from a Christmas tree in the room. Custom white balance using the ExpoDisc with both cameras.

Conclusion
They are different camera chips. The one on the left is traditional, and the one on the right is in the Fuji X E2.
You have a different look and do not like comparing similar chip designs.
I think the Fuji X E2 rocks, and the main reason I wanted it was to be able to take photos in low light when I didn’t want to carry the Nikon D4. I think it works just fine.
I do not think the Fuji will replace the Nikon D4, especially in shooting sports, but it can replace many situations I am working.
