I saw all reviews from all big channels. This one is the BEST one by far. And yes, I do not leave comments, but it was worth the effort for this one. Keep it up!!

This an elegant review, from someone who really comprehends the spirit and the idea behind Fujifilm xe-4 and its rescue of old-school photography, when there weren't these many resources that make a bulky camera. I have abandoned photography for a couple of years, but I am really passionate about it, and I will definitely go for the XE-4, as soon as I get to the US. Thank you so much, Bianca.

Excellent review, I really like the XE4, I almost bought it over the X100V but the new 23mm f2, weather sealing and built in ND filter sort of won me over but if I didn't have an XT4 as my primary camera then the XE4 would've been a great choice. I know quite a few people complain about the minimal design, I think Fujifilm did a great job with it. I think it really helps with having fun taking photos again without 500 buttons haha. I really enjoy you're videos Bianca, very inspiring. Looking forward to more!

Hi, what camera did you use to film yourself for this video? 👻🦄✍️

Finally, a review by a woman!!! Not to hate on the male reviewers, but it’s so helpful to get a woman’s perspective and see the camera in a woman’s hands, etc. Especially with exceptionally well thought out & thorough info! 😻

Not sure why YouTube isn’t listing this video higher in the results list, since you have a ton of subscribers and stellar content 🤷🏻‍♀️. Stupid algorithms… seems to be the case for every one of the handful of female reviewers I’ve managed to find for the cameras I’ve been researching. Not ok, yt 👎🏼👎🏼

You did a great job! Excellent review, nicely express. To me this review is just as good if not better articulated then some of the famous review channels.

Great review! I'm considering getting one for similar reasons, to have a super compact EDC. I might wait until the used prices come down though, they are a bit crazy at the moment.

Another lens to consider pairing with this is the Voigtlander 27mm f2 Ultron. It being manual focus means that you can have that f2 aperture in the same size as the Fuji's own XF27mm f2.8!

Anyhoo, thanks for making the video!

[allenschneider]

Sounds great, I just wish they had kept the focus dial on the front and included a grip. A drive dial on the top left would have been nice too.
Thanks for the helpful review.

Great review! I ordered mine today together with the 27mm pancake and a 56mm from Sigma (I’m shooting stills only, mostly street) as an small, portable addition to my Canon full frame bricks and it should be delivered in two days. Canons M-System didn’t really convince me. Thanks to your review I feel I made the right decision.

[JustinEspejo]

Hey Bianca!!!! This was really good! I just recently got steered to the fuji world and the xe4 is one of the cams I’ve been saving in my moodboards! Haha!

[ChristopherDrinkard]

Super great review! Well detailed 🙏🏼 Thumbs up and subscribed!

Awesome review !


I’d love to pick your brain on the following…

I’m having a hard time with deciding on a new Fuji body, struggling with GAS, but also feeling like I want a new and/or third body.

Right now I’m shooting on an XT3 and an X100V. Love both. I shoot studio portraits and headshots, personal branding photos and the occasional family session. I used to shoot engagements and weddings, but now it’s almost entirely portrait work.

I have fallen in love with the rangefinder style of the X100V, and I am eyeing the XPRO 3 and XE4.

I’m having a hard time deciding if I should sell my XT3, and get an XPRO 3, keep the XT3 and get an XE4, or just wait and save for the XPRO3 and have three cameras (XT3, XPRO & X100).

I’ve also considered the XT4, but I don’t do video, don’t care about IBIS and I just don’t see the upgrade.

I like to work very minimalist, and I only have a handful of lenses.

I would love your thoughts as to what you would do in my shoes.

I think I’m also feeling kind of burnt out and bored and there’s something about the x100 that just makes me want to shoot more, which is why I’m leaning towards the rangefinder minimalism found in the XE4 and XPRO series. I want the camera to get out of my way, and my work is about connection, simplicity and closeness. Even in the studio, I keep one eye open. I am finding myself shooting in studio with the X100! Would you sell the XT3 and get the XPRO, keep it and go XE4, or just wait and save and get the XPRO as a third?

I think there is some piece of me that’s just scared of going entirely rangefinder, considering I’m doing studio for portraits… But maybe that’s just a simple learning curve. And if I sell my XT3 I could probably afford to get another lens, although I’m pretty happy with my combination of 23, 35 and 56.

If the focus on the XE4 is as good as the XT3, or better, I’m in. Is it really that fast? Is the XE4 comparable to XT3 in terms of IQ and speed?

[AndreoPhoto]

Nice video! Very well articulated. Would love to see your photos with this camera

[sarahdippity]

Hi Bianca! Just wondering why you also get the XE4 even though you have and like the XS10. When would you use the XE4 vs. XS10?
