Thanks for the video. I've used the XE-3 since it came out, mostly with old Soviet lenses, and always for photography. It is a joy to see that this new version also allows more video options. Greetings from St. Petersburg.

Great review. I was debating whether to get this or the previous model and you helped me decide. When you said it gave you your best shooting experience, that’s huge. I’m definitely getting a second party thumb grip, shutter button and rubber grip attachment. Also can’t wait to use the Classic Negative film simulation.

Very helpful video, thank you. In particular the comparison with the XS10 and XT30. Look forward to your lens review of the 27mm

[Janlaurenz]

Great review! looks like the perfect all in one camera

[joec.]

You’re my favorite reviewer by far. Keep up the great work. Loving my X100V. 📷✌🏻

Lovely camera.

I also recommend getting the Meike 35mm f1.7 lens. At around $70, it’s a nice addition for great bokeh; you have to select the “Use without lens” setting and focus manually (but with focus peaking it is quite simple).

Thanks for the nice review. I own the silver version and love this little cam.

[dungbeetlemovies]

A beautifully produced and informative review. Thank you.

[maliedivine]

great review!! Which is best for throwing the camera in the pocket or small purse? I can't decide on X-E4 or v100F.

This is what I've been waiting for.

Started Photography with the X-E1. Love the puristic approach Fuji takes.
Served me well and still does.
Last year I upgraded to an A7 III which is a fantastic camera that I enjoy a lot and don’t want to miss.

However my Fuji has a unique feel to it. It gives Photography a different pace and feel.

Overall I love both.

The Fuji has taught me how photography works. ISO, Shutter, Aperture.

The perfect beginner camera which won’t disappoint even professionals.

For me it is not the workhorse, but gives me a very enjoyable experience which is a good thing whenever the job doesn’t require perfection.

If it does the higher gear Fuji cameras or (as for me) the A7 lineup will provide that, too.

To sum up: Great camera which has improved weaknesses of the older versions.

I would pick it up if I was to start all over again. Great camera!

The A7 III still overall is my go-to camera, but these two play in totally different leagues. The Sony should be compared to the X-T3/4 which are great, too.

X-E4 or Sony A6400 would be my choice In this price range. Paired with the right glass and a capable user all these cameras will take fantastic pictures. Even my good old X-E1.

As always: The best camera is the one you are using.

Great review as always. Keep it up!

1:34 mins, what is the lens you are using? I love how you lay emphasis on "Fujifilm" experience and XE-4 is meant for that. Just wish that there was a rear dial or something extra to customise via physical buttons

[jamescawte]

Excellent video, could you tell me what camera mount you were using with the height and focus rails

[artemholstov]

Good review, but I disagree with your "better no viewfinder" comment. I am hoping that they will give it a larger EVF in the next model even of it makes the camera a little bit larger. It just makes a big difference.

I always like your reviews as they are so complete. My only issue with Fuji and Sony is

[allenschneider]

I've been considering a fugi (possibly xe4 or xs10) but also looking at the Olympus om5iii. My focus is on photography (do limited video); for all around photography, do you think a fugi aspc camera will out perform the Olympus micro 4/3rd system?

[georgedemetriou]

I have an XE2 and have been wondering about upgrading to an XE4.I enjoy using my XE2, I love the ergonomics, function buttons, dpad, focus selector switch all of which seem superior to those on the XE4 jufging by many reviews I have seen, but I rather like the idea of the bigger 26mp sensor and faster processor of the XE4. In your opinion are the advantages of the XE4 a good enough trade off against the ergonomics of the XE2 to go ahead and buy an XE4?

[alexisrivero]

Do you recomend it for B CAM paired with an xt3 for video work? Thanks

[alexmaier]

Thank you for your review. Could you please tell me what gimbal do you use for the X-E4?

Thank you.
