- In this video I give my thoughts and first impressions on the Fuji X-E4 after one week of use. This is not a review. I haven't even had the chance to properly edit and adjust the photos since they are not yet supported in Lightroom. And for that reason I wont comment all that much on the the new 27mm f2.8. After the Adobe update I will revisit the files and give my opinion on the lens.

Im a simple man. I see Mattias Burling, I smile and press like.
took the words out of my mouth
We are simple men 😄
Wow... every single Matthias video is a love letter to photography and the master engineers who make it possible. God bless the poor FujiFilm personnel who have to put up with the tough demands of the marketplace.
Laughed hard the moment you said “Fuji fanboy militia” 😂
It’s real though 😂

As usual, polished, professional, and useful! Thanks Mattias.
Mattias, a long awaited video from you & you never disappoint your viewers. Beautiful images, articulate & honest assessment & a bad influencer! I’m sure many of your viewers are surfing for an X-E4. It’s a great starter 📷 for those who’s new to the Fuji militia group! 😅 Fortunately, I have- & ❤️ my-an X-E3 mated to the 27mm f2.8 pancake lens , & this combo fits in my jacket pocket comfortably. Thank you for your continually supplying our addiction 😅✌🏼
I can't get enough of this camera, I am so happy you decided to take a look at this. Your images are amazing.
Man been following for yrs now keep it going Mattias 🙏🏽
This is the video I've been waiting for!
A nice little preview. I'm looking forward to picking a used XE4 whenever it becomes available. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for the review! Been waiting on it since it was announced! I've been shooting with an X-E3 because of your review on it years ago. This one was an instant preorder for me. I'm frankly surprised, (maybe not surprised, just tired of it now) by how many people don't get this is a camera people actually want. I WANT IT. If you've shot long enough you know what you care about and want out of a camera. It shouldn't be that hard to accept other people may want different things from you. You want weather sealing and more buttons and dials? Just get an XT-4? Isn't that the whole point of having different models?
Been waiting for this ✌🏽
Smiling the whole way through. Great video!
If I was going out to get a brand new Fuji today this would be the one I would buy.
Same for me.
Ok. This could be the camera that I find the money to upgrade from my battered old X20 from. Just gotta decide on the first off lens choice.
@@Grant_Ferstat If you like the zoom on your X20 you really cant go wrong with the Fuji 18-55 2.8
Also never rule out all of the wonderful used Fujis if you have budget constraints. The XT2 and the XE3 are fantastic buys right now.
For an extra £200 I'd probably still get the X-T30, though I can see the appeal of the slightly smaller body if paired with the new 27mm lens. It's not much bigger than the X-T30 but I'd definitely miss the flexibility of the extra buttons and dials, though it would be nice to have the Q button on top! I'm not a fan of scrolling through endless menus, so give me a quick access button or dial for most features and I'll be happy (here wishing the X-T30 had a d-pad and ISO dial).
@@MrSamoDude I have ergonomic issues with the center mounted EVF since I am left eye dominate. But besides that I think the XT30 is pretty great (I came from an XT3).
I don’t even care about cameras, I just watch these videos for entertainment.
(Kidding)
I got the X-E3 because of you and I'm very happy with it, the new one is not making me want to switch but Glad to see Fuji is making this kind of cameras.
I love how Gunpowder takes a sneak look at 6:50 !
I totally agree on the flip screen. I was debating the X-S10 for the small size and stabilization but having to rotate that screen to the side when I want to take an image of my dog seems like it would get old really fast. Since I own the X-T30 I will probably pass on the the X-E4. Even though I would prefer the rangefinder style I'm not sure it makes sense to switch, unless I'm missing something. I am tempted to upgrade to that new XF 27mm. The missing dial is the only thing I dislike on mine. The 27mm was my first lens and I still love it. If I were starting over I think the X-E4 and the 27mm would be perfect.
As someone who has to deal with Canon 80D... Yes that gets very old, very very fast. Especially when I was doing on set photography and BTS work. The RX-100 I was using as a B-cam was better just because of this reason.
I have just purchased this camera as a walk around camera. I am a wildlife shooter and use Olympus and Panasonic, with 400mm lenses. I was after a GOOD camera which was light and still a quality camera. The X-E4 meets all demands with excellent photo quality. I would recommend it to anyone.
Best reviewer of camera gear. Ausgezeichnet, Mattias!
Thanks a lot Mattias, nice to finally hear the other perspective! Had meanwhile already decided to preorder :)
As I'm often running tired of RAW editing at the computer later, I'm actually next happy (after Tilty) about the software updates to in camera RAW conversion and the Q-menu. Finally setting WB tint per custom setting and I also looove sitting on buses and trains, quickly tweaking the X-way and sharing ...
This.
I’m still not happy with Fuji’s in camera conversions. They should hire Ricoh/Pentax to show them how it’s done.
@@gearreallydoesntmatter after reading on it I guess I see what you mean. Don't think though we can expect some leap there any time soon. So long I'll do w experience and fast clicking, instead of preview and nicer menu.... Still need time to outgrow my 1st ecosystem anyhow :)
@@gearreallydoesntmatter
Fuji in-camera conversions are excellent, there are a LOT of custom recipes on the Internet. Not sure how you can't be happy with the many setting you can apply and save to custom slots.
You have been to Fuji X Weekly, right?
The problem is the UI, it’s very annoying to use and some of the nomenclature is weird.
Thank you for another excellent video!
Your perspective is really valuable.
Thanks for you great videos!
Would love a nother streephoto series!
It just seems like the perfect street camera if you want a little more flexibility than a Ricoh GR. I might check out the new 27mm for my Fuji Fanboy xt4, the Weather Resistance is perfect for a Canadian winter
I don't have any ideas about photography, even more the camera functionalities but I always love watching your videos haha. I've grown to love the Fuji cameras
Fuji fanboi militia checking in. I’ve been looking at this one as a nice compliment and second body for my XT3
I like this camera, thinking of getting one but my only concern is image quality, I have Pentax DSLR and had a fuji xf10, and image quality of the Fuji was very poor in comparison with Pentax. This sample photos are good but don't look as good as your Pentax reviews (image quality).
Thanks, Matthias..to the point and exactly what an old chap like me wants
I was torn between the black and silver and finally decided to go with black. I might get the silver later for my left hand. X-E4 is so beautiful!
Looks like we have a winner 👊👊💥
Thank you once again Mattias. I’m in 👍
I think I will wait for the X-T40, but this does look very cool. I loved the X-E2s, but the last two updates haven't really tempted me for one reason or another. I might have to try it out and see if I like it. If the preamps are great and it can fit on a light mobile gimbal maybe it could pull me away from looking at that mini X-H1 thing with ibis.
X100F owner.. only want a flippy screen but I did love my XE2 a few years ago. Never gelled with an XT20 .. side viewfinder is what I love
Thank you for your thoughts Mattias! Care to elaborate on two things?
1. The sensor is "less stellar" in high ISOs. Do you mean in therms of noise? DR? It is only about 2 MP more than the old so I thought it wouldn't be much of a difference.
2. is it really not possible to mount a "normal" strap with small metal rings on the new system? maybe there is a workaround?
Thank you! I brought the X-E3 because of your video and never regreted it :)
The best part is this erases any regret I had about selling my xe3
Man, I love your channel!
This looks like a great upgrade from my Pentax MX-1 (still keeping that too!)
Tilt screen and newer sensor are both appealing, might upgrade from my X-E3 when the world goes a bit more back to normal. :)
That's disappointing regarding the EVF sensor, though hopefully they'll address it with a firmware update. Seems like the kind of quirk to expect in a 1.0.0 release.
Fingers crossed.
As usual, spot on.
Great review. The only reason I'm picking this up is the tilting screen!!
You can’t go wrong when you watch Mattias
If more screens also had the vertical mode pull out for low angle shots (like the X-T2) I'd have more models to choose from. I love SO many other models Fuji has, but I've gotten so spoiled on the vertical "portrait" screen I just can't even think of spending so much $$$ on another model without it.
I’ve pretty much owned or used all Fuji X/GFX cameras over the past 11 years. For a while even professionally as a fashion/beauty photographer. I pretty much sold all of them except the X-E4. To me, this is the best Fuji camera they ever made. I love the X100(V), but to be able to use the small 16, 35 and 50 lenses (next to the 23) is too valuable for me. My other fav was the X-Pro2, but they messed it up for me with the X-Pro3 (with its gadget titanium topplate, subscreen and LCD). So, next to several M bodies and a Q2M the X-E4 stays with me for now. PS. funny that you also prefer the 24MP for low light shooting. I thaught it was only me…😅
I like it. It looks a great travel option. Unfortunately I’m left eye dominant and range finder style cameras work so great fo me. I guess I could use it like it didn’t have a view finder like the X70.
When I ditched my dSLR I swapped from using my left to my right eye. Weird at first but quickly got used to it. Check the dioptre range available on the X-E4, it works for me.
i shoot xe3 with my left eye and don't have any issues with that except smudging the screen with my nose
One of those smaller Fujis would have been my upgrade, but in 2-3 years it's most likely that I upgraded bodies again and APS-C feels like the right step, so maybe a XE-5S is about then. And more smaller lenses.
Very nice review! Just wish you could say something about or let us hear the shutter sound as this could be the only thing stopping people from choosing this over the X100V..
I just picked up my first love again and that is photography. And just recently I bought my first digital camera on a bargain the Samsung NX300. Wow it;s an amazing camera with alot of options. The follow up will be surely an Fujifim. But which one? I don't know yet...
Great review thanks! In between the Olympus Pen F and the XE4 which one would you recommend for a beginner? They are both a thing of beauty.
Byt the one you think is cooler.
Mattias Burling, You create the best camera videos my opinion. I have the X-E3 with a 23mm lens. So far so good.
3:20, Oh man! I think the Mitakon 35mm f0.95 would be great on this camera too! So small yet so much potential here.
I love the looks of the camera!
Great review Mattias! Should I upgrade from my beloved X-E3 to the X-E4? - I sure would love that tiltscreen on my X-E3...
I'd say it's worth it - I'm biased though since I already own the X-E4 😀
Great video, would be interested to hear how does the evf feels. Smaller/better/worse/same as the x100v and xpro3? Well done Mattias, keep up the good work! 🙌🏼
It’s a little smaller. Still usable but a little small.
The X-E3 (and 4) EVF is much smaller, but I had zero issues moving from the X100T to it.
@@fredbloggs545 Well done Fred! : - )
Thanks for the video, Mattias!
I'm so used to handling the front- and back dials, so I wonder how I will manage this one?! The X-E3 has been my absolute favourite for vacation, and I just missed a flip-out screen for it.
Is it possible to customize the dial to switch between shutter speed and ISO by pressing it?
Don’t know, will see when I get my own preorder.
@@gearreallydoesntmatter Thanks! Yeah, me too. If anyone else sees this, feel free to chime in.
@@hhglasenapp
The X-E4 manual is now available. Basically, yes.
Choose the roles played by the front command dial. You can press the center of the dial to cycle through roles in the order FRONT COMMAND DIAL 1, FRONT COMMAND DIAL 2, and FRONT COMMAND DIAL 3.
Option Description
FRONT COMMAND
DIAL 1 Assign shutter speed (S.S. (PROGRAM SHIFT)) or aperture (APERTURE) 1 to FRONT COMMAND DIAL 1.
FRONT COMMAND
DIAL 2/3 Assign shutter speed (S.S. (PROGRAM SHIFT)), aperture (APERTURE) 1, exposure compensation (EXPOSURE COMPENSATION) 2, sensitivity (ISO), or no role (NONE) to FRONT COMMAND DIAL 2 or FRONT COMMAND DIAL 3.
1 Aperture set to A (auto) and lens equipped with aperture ring or COMMAND selected for DBUTTON/DIAL SETTING > APERTURE RING SETTING (A).
2 Exposure compensation dial rotated to C.
COMMAND DIAL SETTING can also be accessed by pressing and holding the center of the front command dial.
@@fredbloggs545 Great! Thanks a lot! Seems this dial will fit perfectly in my mind - choose shutter speed, press, then choose iso.
Beutiful little camera. The step from Pentax, to the X-e3 was huge for me. So the X-e4 is a no go. Wounderfull review and I have to say, as always. Theres to much and to many tech talker's around. Everything worked just fine back when i got in to the hobby with an Olympus Om-10, and started to load my own rolls of flim. The darkroom was in the bathroom. Kinda miss those days.
YES!
Great video thankyou! DO you use backbutton focusing? I currently use the AF-L button on my X-E3 for back button focusing but not sure what options I would have on the X-E4.
There is a button in the back that you could use in the same way.
@@gearreallydoesntmatter Thankyou. Appreciate the reply!
Hello Mattias, is the top plastic or metal ? Thanks for your vids !
Metal.
I still got the xe-1 that old jpeg processor is real nice still. With the 18mm it's real light.
How does the auto focus on this compare to xt3 and xt4??
I wish wish wish this camera had weather sealing. It'd be perfect.
What an amazing captivating voice
Its funny, the camera is described as rangefinder like but when I pickup the camera body, the square shouldered shape and the tactile feeling although lighter remind me of the old original NikonF I used in the 60's
Where is this ‘fujifanboy militia’? I need to join 😄😄😄
Since owning the xpro3, I realize that owning previous cameras too many buttons is just too many buttons. With less buttons and distractions in the xpro3, i enjoy my time taking pictures and moments way better, less fiddling around when shooting.
The xe4 looks sexy with minimalist approach, i have to admit i was a bit baffled with the omission of the focusing mode dial, but then again you can program it to other buttons or the swipe motion - so, no big deal for me.
Someone said to me that the goal of having a camera is to get the exposure right, so anything that has nothing to do with exposure shouldn’t be on the camera in the 1st place 😊
Nice video. I noticed at the end you put the flash on then took part of it off? Is the flash triggered remotely this way?
Yes, its wireless. Very handy for creative flash photography.
I review it here: th-cam.com/video/GNmxjHkJ7Is/w-d-xo.html
What I admire in your reviews is that you raise points that nobody else do. For me, I still convinced that X100V is still a better option. It would be highly appreciated if you can make a comparison review between these cameras. Many thanks
Don't see the point of a comparison with the X100V. If you don't want to change lenses, get the X100V. If you want to change lenses, get something else.
Simple.
@@fredbloggs545 I wish it is as simple as you've said. However, I think it is worth to compare leaf vs mechanical shutter, sharp f2 lens vs the new 27mm f2.8, having a built-in ND filter, a side switch for focus settings, the layout of the buttons and dials, weather sealing, even the battery life, all these aspects are different. In terms of the focal length, there are some converters that can give different focal equivalents for X100V, so it is not a big deal not to have interchangeable lens.
@@w.a.alasha
It is literally as simple as, do you want to change lenses or not.
@@fredbloggs545 Well, let me tell you about some cameras that I have which are Fujifilm XF10 and Canon EOS M50. When I'm going outside I don't decide which camera to take with me according to the interchangeable lens, but according to the usability. Note that attaching 22mm f2 pancake lens on the Canon will give an approximate results of the Fuji
@@w.a.alasha
You are way overcomplicating this!
There is zero point looking at the X100V if you want to change lenses.
With a manual lens on, if I don't switch mode to M, do I have focus peaking? Because on XT2 I have to switch to M to activate focus peaking with a manual lens on.
Also with the auto-flipping screen function of the eye sensor, does it activate if you switch viewmode to LCD only?
For peaking I press the function button, its actually quicker than the old dial.
Can't decide between this and the X-T30 as my first ever camera...
Hi Mattias. I am wondering about buying this X-E4 + XF27mm because it's really light to carry on everyday. What can you tell us about touchscreen protection? How did you protected it on your X-E3? I'm afraid to scratch the tactile screen and Fujifilm leather case only protects the body. I also would like to know if you felt a great improvement from X-E3 during that short week of checking. Thanks a lot!
I don’t use anything. I don’t think I’ve ever scratched a screen, and I don’t baby my cameras. I’ve sometimes bought cameras with scratches on the screen, but it’s not something I care about. As long as it works I don’t mind.
Hi Mattias, I have finally taken delivery of the XE4, and it truly is a great camera, I have customized it to my requirements, so far anyway, with no problem at all, and it will soon be a learned muscle memory! just one query Mattias, the focus point! is there any way in the settings to return the focus point back to the centre of the screen?, or do I just have to locate it each time I fire up, and drag it back to the centre manually? Thank you Mattias.
Im not sure. On the XE3 its double click on the joystick. On the xe4 that is the magnification by default, I haven’t yet tried to reprogram it. Let me know if you find anything.
@@gearreallydoesntmatter I will do! Thank you for your reply!
@@gearreallydoesntmatter Sorted it Mattias ! “You Just press DISP BACK! “ and your back in the centre 👍🏻
Perfect!
What lenses are you using at 0:48?
How is the view finder?
What's that little flash at the end of your video please?
Curious, do you think the x-e4 with the 27mm would be a good alternative to the ricoh grIII as far as a pocketable take any where camera?
It can’t replace it imo but the xe4 can definitely be used as a carry around.
Awesome video! Now, I still can’t decide whether I should buy the x100v or the xe4.... I love street and fashion photography and want a portable camera without fuss. Money isn’t an issue. Which would you get? Cheers buddy!
th-cam.com/video/2tuwjBGbOy0/w-d-xo.html
Slick camera! Nice pix!
Hope price of the 27mm mark 1 version would drop down thus i can get one and keep rockin with my old xe3
The 27mm mk1 is great on my X-E3.
Look good. I'm having to use an X-E3, X-A5 and X-H1 at the mo for less features than this. I will buy one next year when they come down a bit.
I'm thinking of picking up an X-H1 second hand for video and photo generally. How is your workflow like with it?
@@xmlthegreat I bought it on a whim after watching a video where they were being hand made in Japan. Mainly for the portrait flip out screen. It's a big camera, I don't use it much (tend to be quicker with the x-e3 which is a weapon of a camera in terms of speed). When I do I always enjoy it. Mic socket is handy. Good video. Fast AF. I wish the exposure comp button could toggle rather than being held down (maybe it can be changed in the menu). I say get one if you fancy it - can't really go wrong and they seem to hold the money well. Personally I would spend 100 or so more and get a x-e4 - better slow mo for one thing and processor etc etc.
@@xmlthegreat I bought a used X-H1 about two months ago and I absolutely love it. I have several Fuji bodies (not an X-T4) but this one stands above the others for me. I love the top info display, I find the heavier body balances well with larger lenses and the 3.6m dot EVF helps with my preference for manual focus lenses. The IBIS also gives me that extra hand-hold confidence.
I bought it used at a great price, with only 1,500 shutter actuations. An absolute bargain. A pro level camera for a silly price. However I do agree with the comment about the exposure comp dial. It is a two button affair which annoys me constantly. I wish I could assign one of the dials to exp. comp.; maybe I can but I cannot figure out how.
Maybe the sensor flips the screen so that the UI and image is facing in the right direction when put in the ‘selfie position’? Otherwise you would see an upside-down image when standing in front of the camera. Great video btw!
Yes, that is why it does it. But it’s very badly implemented and I hope it can be fixed.
@@gearreallydoesntmatter Or at least just turned off? I get that it adds the selfie functionality (not that I think many X-E4 buyers are super interested in that...), but why not just let it be optional?
I think Samuel Streetlife also talked about that thing with the screen flipping with the EVF sensor, must be very annoying but I guess it is very fixable thing through a firmware update. We'll see.
BTW, thanks to you, I ended buying that Lightpix flash, and don't regret it one bit.
Hi J Zayas, I was wondering about the screen flipping with the EVF sensor, I saw that on Samuel Streetlife also! as you say I hope they implement better control with a filmware update? But I can only guess it's something to do with the selfie mode, and flips around the other way to implement the self blogging image possession? what do you say!?!?
@@palmhousebookrestoration3284 You are right, I realized after I saw the video for the second time. I guess I am not really interested on the selfie mode so I didn't notice at first, but you are probably right. I don't know how complicated it could be, but then they can put an option to activate/deactivate selfie mode so instead of flipping it just turns off. I suppose that can be a workaround.
Thank you so much for your reply, Mattias.
I am new researching Fuji cameras, what would you say is the target user of this camera vs. the XT line? Is it pro or camera enthusiast or hobbyist?
Enthusiast for most. For me it has appeal for pro use.
nice review! what do you mean less stellar at high isos than earlier generations? I have xpro 1, does that mean my xpro1 16MP sensor can beat this new BSI 26MP in low light?
The sensor is not the only thing that has an impact on the noise performance. The xpro1 processor is older and that will even it out. But the XE3 is another story.
@@gearreallydoesntmatter i was thinking about upgrading to newer bsi sensor in xt3 or xe4 hopefully to improve noise reduction for astrophotography, so you think the new 26MP bsi sensor doesn’t perform great in low light like the one in the xe3 does?
Reason why I wanted the bsi because the one in sony a7iii was doing so well at iso 12800
I wish they had improved the viewfinder. I prefer the xe2 for this.
Great video! Love this channel, always solid takes. Question for the Fuji fan boy miliitiaL I have an XT-4, which I love, and also a Ricoh GRIII. Mainly shoot street. Do I need this camera?! Did I make a mistake buying the XT-4?! Curiuos to hear your thoughts.
You definitely dont "need" another camera. You are covered. But depending on your style and what you shoot, there is a chance something like the X-E4 could replace both.
@Dino
The GRIII fits in your pants pocket. No Fuji X will do that. Does not matter to me, but might to you.
The X-T4 is a fair bit larger than the X-E4 and it is more dSLR style rather than rangefinder style. Again, does that matter to you? If not, keep the X-T4.
@@fredbloggs545 thank you for your reply, I appreciate it. Still trying to figure out the relative pros and cons of dSLR vs. rangefinder. how would you summarize?
@@dinodemopoulos3336
Other than the obvious size, weight and control layout differences, it is personal preference on where the position of the EVF is and the overall look of the camera.
If you shoot using your right eye then your nose isn't squashed against the LCD.
I didn't want the DSLR style body, I wanted a "classic" old style body. It's why I got a silver X-E3 with silver 27mm pancake lens.
Nobody looks at your little "old" camera when shooting in the street, the X-T4 however looks like a modern dSLR.
I have ordered the silver X-E4.
@@fredbloggs545 Great advice and insight! Zone focusing is also better on rangefinder as well?
From the manual, autorotate display can be turned off. Thank goodness.
Good news!
I didn’t get a manual with the borrowed sample. Now I just hope it still deactivates the sensor.
i am most happy with the tilt screen. and the body is more boxy.
Isn't the reason the eye sensor rotating the image when the screen is pulled is to activate selfie mode? Hopefully they fix that but if it is turned off I assume the screen would be in the wrong orientation or blacked out if you pull the screen all the way up. Either way there will likely need to be a compromise of some kind.
It is, but I don’t want that. Hopefully I can set it up like the x100v in the future.
@@gearreallydoesntmatter The good thing is that Fuji often listens to feedback and pushes firmware updates.
I bought an X-T30 back in late 2019 to replace my X-E2 because I figured Fuji wasn't going to bring out another X-E camera after the 3, and now my wallet is cowering in fear in the corner again. So thanks for that, Mattias. ;)
Me too. (Ugh)
Hi again Mattias, I have the Fuji XE4 on order! but I am getting some concerns regarding the EVF of the XE4. Now I have heard from many reviewer that the EVF is small! and because I am an EVF kinda guy! so would you say in you opinion Mattias, that the EVF on the XE4 is at least usable?!?! Thanks again Mattias.
Definitely usable. Go to a store and try an Xe3, same size.
@@gearreallydoesntmatter That's what I wanted to hear, Thank you Mattias, after watching numerous camera reviews by you, it is certainly a trusted opinion! Thanks again Mattias
Hi, do you need to select "shoot without lens" before using a manual lens on it?
If there are no electrical contacts, yes. I have my camera always set to it anyway, it's one of the settings I always enable on my cameras during set-up.
Yes, but you only need to activate it once.
Sitting here, waiting for mine X-E4....
I wish they would have put this LCD on the Xpro3!!!
Hey, can you disable the touchscreen on the fuji?
Yes.
@@gearreallydoesntmatter thank you mattias, great video as always
I can see this being quite a popular camera.
Thanks for that positive and refreshing review. I got tired of all the negative comments from people that lost sleep because of a few less physical dials.
Enjoyable and profoundly "pro" as always. I loved the X-E2 because it was so much fun to use for events. Very inconspicuous - the X-T20 with its "bump" posed a bigger barrier. I sold my DSLR gear to buy an iPhone 12 Pro Max, which (at age 79) is a lighter load and feels (almost) as friendly as the X-E series with an inconspicuous grip and ball head attached.
I also have XE-2, if I want an upgrade maybe it will be X-pro 2 / XE-3.
This XE-4 is too minimalistic, somehow throw the original concept of fuji mirrorless camera
I love the flippy screen - I think it might compensate for the lack of a few buttons, for me.
I don't see why I should ever update from the X-E2 into another E. It really feels like Fuji is gimping the user interface of their entry level cameras to upsell me.
I feel the same way.
Can anyone tell what lens is this 3:22?
7artisan 35/1.4.
Great info, as usual 😁 How does it compare to Ricoh GRIII?
