5 Reasons to Buy - Fujifilm X-E3 - The x100f killer?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ส.ค. 2024
- We all know what the latest generation of Fujifilm cameras can do and how they stack up against DSLRs and other mirrorless offers. The image quality is identical on all of them so you have to use other deciders to pick between them. Here are my 5 Reasons for choosing the X-E3.

I’m a retired gallery and publishing photographer who has shot with just about every camera make and format in the film line, to just about every camera in the digital SLR line. Recently I dumped all my big SLR gear, and went shopping around for a sharp, functional, easy to carry camera to take with me on my vacations and shooting around my environment. The Fuji X_E3 is the one! There is nothing I can’t do with this camera, and I’ve used it for technical photography through microscopes and other optical equipment due to the live HDMI output, and street and vacation photos. . It’s such a sweet little camera and a great deal for the quality and versatility! By the way, I love your photography. Nice work, nice review!
Interesting to read your comments, though long after the fact.! As a gallery photographer, do you think this camera would be good for documenting my own artwork, smaller works on paper? If yes, which lens would you most suggest?
To be honest, your complete reviews are excellent, but my favorite part is your photography! So many great shots, balance and feeling in the photos (regardless of camera and lens!).
Confession: I watch your vids and follow you on IG for your high art quality, you do BW that looks right, you're extremely rational and .... the dog. She's awesome :)
The voice of martias burling makes me SOOOO calm:-)
Having owned both cameras (plus several Fujifilm bodies over the years) I can say the the x100 series is my favorite camera of all time. When I look back at my portfolio I'm most proud of the photos from my x100 because they "just captured the moment." For me the fixed focal length forces me to prioritize the composition and think outside the box. The x100 has a tactile advantage of being more intuitive than any other camera I have every owned. I hardly ever need to dive into a menu. Buttons, knobs and switches all perfectly placed in an arrangement that becomes second nature. I never shot a lot with flash but the leaf shutter allows for some ridiculous flash sync speeds, allowing you to throw some additional light on a backlit subject with the onboard (or my hot shoe Nissin flash). I shoot more backlit subjects now due to the leaf shutter. I also LOVE LOVE LOVE the ND filter. With a simple click of an Fn button I can hit the ND filter and shoot wide open (f/2) in broad daylight. Lastly, the size and design of this camera make it so easy to carry that it's with me everywhere I go. I mean the XE-3 with the 18mm f2 is quite small but the x100f has the edge. Plus the 18mm focal length is a little wide for most purposes. It's not a camera for all but it's perfect for me. Kudos Fujifilm! I'll take this camera to the grave.
Just wow! Your photos are always so beautiful and You comment over them about the gear as they are just coming from nowhere. Very inspiering, thank You.
Still have my used X-E2 and I love it but I'm pretty sure the 3 will be my next camera. Great video as always.
Just got my xe2 in 2021. For around $220. I love it
Your comment comparing this camera to the X100F - I think you're right but it was a big call and likely the subject of flaming wars on forums, but you manage to communicate it so well! Well done.
I am also a big fan of the XE series of Fuji cameras and use the X-E3 with the Fuji f2 lenses - 23mm, 35mm and 50mm. Even with those smaller lenses, though, I find the accessory grip and the Lensmate thumb grip improve the handling immeasurably. Especially since the thumb grip keeps you from accidentally activating the Q menu.
Hi Mattias, I have recently bought into the Fuji system- five weeks ago- based largely on your channel. I got a mint condition XE2s and XT2 for bargain prices and am really pleased with them. I love the physical controls and to be able to just look down and see my settings, without having to dive into menus to change things. The XT2 reminds me very much of my old Pentax MZ-5 film camera of the late 90s (I think maybe Fuji copied the design!). I only have two lenses at the moment- the 18mm f2 and the 27mm f2.8, but am going to get the 35mm f1.4 too, as I'm a prime shooter. I agree with you about the 18mm- it's a great lens and I love it! Love your channel and keep up the good work! Best wishes.
Man those photos... Each and every one was stunning... ❤️😍 SUBSCRIBED... I'm here from Camera Conspiracies btw.. Great videos... Keep 'em coming...
Five reasons to subscribe to Mattias Burling:
1. Voice over: I really enjoy your narration. If English is your second language then well done, your inflection is perfect. You are the Werner Herzog of camera reviews!
2. Composition: I love the composition of your photos, your use of light and dark. Also your colour grading is superb - very visually pleasing.
3. Brevity: your reviews don’t outstay their welcome. Concise and to the point.
4. B-roll: you obviously put tonnes of work gathering lots of photos and video to make your reviews super interesting.
5. Information: loads of relevant info presented in easy to understand language. This Fuji XE3 just the latest example... by the end of your review it was all I could do not to pull out my credit card and order the thing!
Keep up the great work - you have earned yourself another subscriber (and hopefully many more).
Nice review and awesome photos! I too love the 27mm on my XE2!
I just bought a second-hand X-E3 and have to say that it works absolutely great in 2023... the sensor is good enough, the camera works like a charm. So in love with my purchase.
Love your vids, respect your opinion, and very grateful for the things you taught me about photography. I tried both, preferred the X100F :)
agree with you, i still love my x100f too 😉
Excellent review the XF 18mm is also one of my favourite lenses which ever Fuji body I shoot with 😊
I just ordered a new one of these at a great price from the best camera store in New Zealand. Thanks for the wonderful video ... actually your whole channel is awesome :)
Great Review!!! Difficult to find such amazing Fuji reviews.
I love my XF 18mm, I didn't even know there were haters! I gave my son the 27mm as with the 18 and the 35 f 1:1.4 I rarely used it, even though the tiny form factor makes the camera so pocketable on my X-M1. Now the 18mm lives on the X-M1 body and I use retro glass, or my 55-200 on the X-Pro1.
Great job! It took 2 viewings to finally help me decide between the 100f and xe3. Thanks
What did you decide and why?
I'm glad to hear that you like the 18 f/2 as well. I don't know why it gets so much hate. I've been wanting to get one mainly for the size. Yeah my XT2 isn't as small as your XE3, but putting the 18mm on would make it compact enough to carry around everyday. The best part? It's a really affordable on the used market. I've seen it around $250.
My 18mm basically lives on my X-Pro3 - I love the focal length and just don't get the hate.
I'm seriously considering buying one after watching your review, not to mention that your photography is excellent and is inspiring; rekindling my love for photography.
I bought one back in November 2018 and I’m so pleased with, I also got a used 27mm, 18mm, 35 f1.4 and a refurbished 55-230mm as its nice and light and was a bargain at the time. Thanks
Ended up going with the x-e3! Thank you for your video :)
Thank for another positive review! Shows that the world is how you look at it. And yes the x-e3 is actually a fantastic little workhorse!.
I prefer x100f more because of that ovf and i prefer fixed lens like x100f or ricoh GRII for everyday carry
Thank you for this video and your enthusiasm. After weeks of scratching my head in deciding which Fujifilm camera to get back into photography with (street/general) after years away, I have already settled on the XE3 but this has helped confirm my decision. As an Englishman in Spain, I can't wait to capture the towns and cities I intend to adventure to! Liked & Subscribed 👍
Idk what it is but the shots at 2:44 and 2:47 are my favorites from this video. I’m a sucker for that. Great shots!
Great video. I can see how your videos have been improving over time. (:
Always love the way you describe the feels... Thanks
How did you learn to see the good light? The fact that you can makes your images very special. I am basically still a beginner, but I can see the magic in your pictures because of that.
no reply this :-(
Superb review! With the E4 just around the corner, I'm now in second thoughts about going ahead with the S10 I just booked. Truly a compact powerhouse of a camera this
Came for the review, stayed, liked and followed for the absolutely beautiful photography!
Thanks a lot for the video, an excellent review. I love my XE-3!
I'm new with the fujifilm system and I just bought this sexy and sleek design mirrorless a week ago and it's awesome!, i didn't regret choosing it over x-T20 :). Combined with 18-55mm kitlens it delivers freaking great photos :)
I have appreciated your videos and your way of presenting themes and issues for quite a while now and would love to see one on how to set up an XE3 for zone focussing...
I was on the fence about this for a bit but what did it for me was the ability to change lens, it's compact size, and better support. I felt burned by owing the X100T and didn't want to shell out such an investment for the F for fuji to do the same again. With the E3 and the 23mm, 35 and 50 F2 WR it makes for a lovely do it all for what i need it for. From portraits with HSS to street and landscape it's almost a no brainer for me.
Love the images you took with this camera. And I love my xe3! Great review
Thanks!
This is a really interesting video and presents the camera very well indeed.
The modular approach is definitely a wonderful advantage. I wholly agree, though I cannot comment on the X-E3, it improves the comfort and usability X-T20 greatly with heavier and/or adapted lenses.
Just bought one cuz of this video!! Such honest reviews!
Just the thing I wanted. Thank you. You’ve got a sub ❤️
Great pictures Mattias!
Awesome. Love the new music too!
Nice video! Still have the XE1, but maybe next year when the prices go down, get the xe3 or maybe the xt3?
great review thanks, nice commentary.
Love your channel and took your advice to pair the Fuji xe3 and the Fuji 27mm.
Love it!
Had a Fuji x100f and agree with your assessment that xe3 is a better setup vs the x100 due to the lens options. The 27mm fits perfectly, smaller than the x100f and prefer the 27mm focal length over the 23mm.
Gosh - i love your way of speaking and def. your voice!
7:04 oh my, you did it.
Another awesome & informative video, love the shots as well - as always. Though surely it’s not a fully-qualified Fuji video without some raving on about the JPEG output ;)
I just *really* wish Fuji put out more (and faster) pancake primes than that lonely 27mm. Even Samsung managed to do so during their limited attempt at the mirrorless market. Seems odd to me, given the huge street audience for Fuji cams. I moved away from Fuji just so my everyday carry camera could capitlise on the excellent little MFT Panny 20mm 1.7.
Also (predictably) I loved that little RD1 teaser at the end! Can’t wait to see your verdict and what you can do with it. I guess the interesting part of my previous offer is gone… but the free beer coupon is still valid :)
Yeah I just went to the Camera store. There are so many variants of its mirrorless. I might choose a Fuji over the leica Q for my future Camera.
This is one of the best channels on the web. I have the xpro2 and love it, but to be honest, I rarely use the optical and/or hybrid viewfinder. So when the new mini Medium Format xpro camera comes out, I may buy it if I can afford it and get an Xe3 instead of the xpro2.
The 27mm is why I got the similar (diiiirrrt cheap) X-E2 to try fuji. It's a great, practical lens. The XE-2 & 3 would be something if they were a bit smaller and rounded. I can *almost* get it in my pocket... As you say, this would really be something if it were the size of the GR (or my favoriter, Coolpix A).
I got mine a year ago and it’s wonderful. My girlfriend carries it and I bring my a7r3. We both get super sharp photos, 4K video and good battery life.
On the basis of this I bought the xe3. I really haven’t been disappointed and am grateful I didn’t splash out for the Leica Q on the basis I switch from the 18mm (27mm) to the 23mm(35mm) too often........ really good reviews!!!!!thankyou
I think the most hated lens is actually the 60mm macro and rightfully so for its abysmal AF.
The 27mm is disliked by some mostly for not having an aperture ring when other compact lenses have it and also not having great AF but optically it’s solid.
Excellent video as always. A couple of quick questions . Have you looked at the 18-55 kit lens? That in combination with the 27 could make a hood starter Fuji kit. Under which circumstances would you ever consider the gx9 against the xe3. Finale what kind of strap are you using with the xe3 it looks very nice. Thanks againZ
Great review, amazing images! Which city were they taken in? Cheers from Austria
I'm glad your said it's your favourite, because I've just bought one!
Hey Mattias 😁
Im soon getting this camera! How do you carry it around for street photography? im looking for ways to carry it everwhere i go. Do you have any recomendations?
Cheers for the great footage. Can you use the camera when charging the battery? Was wondering if one can shoot a day-to-night timelapse and just connect a power bank to the cam to extend battery life?
Can't wait to see you review the 7artisans on both film and digital camera body.
the 25mm 7artisans is a lot of fun
I messaged you on Instagram, but after watching this video a few times, I think I am going for this as my "fun" camera. Thank you again for all the amazing content! ;)
I've been rocking the combo XE1 & 27mm for years. Nimble, light and easy to use. No complaint here...
I'm thinking of going down that road myself. Are you happy in terms of sharpness and the overall performance of the 27?
Really good run-thru of the E3, looks like great pocketable changeable lens camera. But bro, I really watch your vids cos your images are so Fxxxxx gorgeous
Do you still enjoy the 27mm? Ok with no aperture ring?
Been hunting for one, but it seems to be very popular on used market.
I bought the GF1 years ago and it was a fantastic combo with the 20mm 1.7. I loved it. But I lost it one night. Only last year I bought another GF1 body again, but it did seem to have aged, my love for it wasn’t quite as pronounced. I think this X-E3 with a pancake or two is a modern equivalent of that GF1, with some big updates to image quality and other nice additions like the viewfinder. Even though Panasonic continue to push things out, this sleek little X-E3, to me, speaks more to the old GF1 than any of the modern Lumix cameras for some reason...
I totally love how your dog is like your reference model .
Traded in my X100F some time ago to buy the XE3 and haven’t looked back. Use the XE3 as a 2nd body next to my XT2 or as a stand alone camera for “light” trips/walks. Works best with smaller primes such as the 23 or 35mm lenses, but I also use it with the 56mm 1.2. Would prefer if it had a flip screen instead of a touch screen; other than that, love it.
As always a great review.
Nice shots, my fave fuji was the xe-1, love the rendition for street shots better than my xt-1. Anyways, hanging on with my A7III Z 35 Sonnar and Z 35 Distagon. Heaven! Enjoy the XE-3!
I just ordered this camera I’ll have it Friday I’m excited
Got mine a week ago as a second shooter (next to my a7ii) and I‘m in love. The picture Quality is AMAZING and the simulations are just lovely. And that in such a tiny body?! It‘s grotesque how small this with the 7artisans 25f1.8 is. Couldn’t be happier with my setup now :).
would you say it's pocketable?
@@ErikvonStrongber with a pancake? Totally.
Watched it again! Still great!
"I wouldn't use this camera for professional sports gigs, and if I'm being honest, I wouldn't even consider mirrorless at all." It's funny how technology changes our perception and how we photograph; ie, EOS R. 20years ago, I never could have imagined what cameras can do today. 30yrs ago, I only looked at lenses and considered cameras to only change very little over time.
Exactly the comparisson I was looking for. :-) The only things I would miss over my X100 is the ND filter and the buigt in flash. Not that I need the last one that much.
Lovely and helpful as always. Do you use LR as your RAW developer? Or do you go through something like X-Transformer first, then into LR? One reads all kinds of complaints about how LR handles the native Fuji files.
Great video. Love you photography. What lens you used?
Good review Mattias
excellent review! My beloved x-t20 broke and Fuji wanted $380 to repair it, so I'll be bidding on the x-e3 very soon! the e4 is out, but I don't like how minimalistic it is
Thanks Mattias for a great video!
For someone moving from iPhone photography to camera - would you recommend used x100F or xe3 with a 27mm pancake?
this is simply amazing, with only able to follow the main "flag ship" fuji bodies its always great to see reviews like this that show fuji is quite fair when creating smaller , cheaper, model cameras.
I've watched a lot of videos these last weeks when looking for a camera to get back to photography after some years, and because of you (it's a good thing) I bought an X-E3 this week and got the 27mm f2.8 for free with it, couldn't be happier with the cost-benefit. My last camera, 5+ years ago, was a fuji and I like the system, so was a good return.
now, one question, do you use (or used to use) which simulations? I'm curious about your bw settings or it's just post?
I also came back today to remember which lens you prefer instead of the 16mm :) let me now google for the 18mm f2
keep up the good work.
oh your videos also helped me a lot to decide in start some money jar to buy a Leica ;)
Another great video, thanks!
After watch your video , I decided to make purchase of one great use silver xe3 body for my first FUJI to try on .
I’ve been watching this same video over many times simply because i just like this video. Love the music! I’ve been shooting with my X-T1 and thinking of getting a second body, do you think this is still a great body to have especially I can get a used one with a bargain?
Opinion X-E2/s vs X-E3? I like the price on the xe2 but the fact that I can use Fuji X RAW Studio with the xe3 is making me lean towards the 3. The price though. I'm a Nikon shooter and am looking at getting this for a trip in March.
I agree with you, 18mmf2 is great. Actually is the only lensa that keeps me with a Fuji camera.
what camera do you use?
It's a sweet thing :D And some deserved love for the 18mm :D
Damian Brown yeah its definitely a lens worth owning as a small and light wide angle :)
I'm on my second! Changed it for the wider 14mm... loved the 16mm but the size and quality of the 18 just kept calling me back so I bought another!
Damian Brown Yeah I had the 16mm. Image quality is absolutely spectacular. But I still kept grabbing for the 18mm as it could always tag along in the pocket when using a longer lens.
I am just about to get one. Normally I shoot with Canon, but I like Fuji very much. You are a great photographer by the way, the photos are very very good!
'I sold my 16mm f1.4 after (18mm f2.0) getting it.' Absolute madman.
Can you have some more reviews on the 18F2? I'm having an XE3 with 35F2, and still considering for a wide like the 18F2.
your photography is wonderful... review as well!!
I can't find the video where you talk about which adapter you use for the Minolta manual focus lenses (MD's) to Fujifilm XF. Could you please help me with this issue. Great video, it came out right in time for me. Almost got a an X-T2 instead. Still waiting for my XE3 to be delivered. How did you get the Lensbaby thumbgrip to Sweden, it seems they only ship to the US and Canada :-(
18mm is the most hated lens? Good lord. Its a decent lens
I'm very interested in picking up the XF18 and XF27. I love the idea of those lenses for their size mainly. I can basically treat my X-T2 like a makeshift fixed lens camera for everyday stuff. At least until I can swing an X70 or something like that. Very curious about what Fuji is going to announce this month and leading up to 2019
Great video. Informative and helpful.
You talked about the XE2. Can you use its focus peaking option when using manual lenses? Also, does it have the red focus peak highlight? Thanks Mattias!
Don't know about the color but focus peaking is made for manual fokus, so it works with manual lenses.
Fantastic little camera. As an die hard Pentaxian, I have to say that it is fantastic. Small, light and tactile. And that Fuji Iso grain/noice is just film like beutiful, that makes me wanna shot high iso. Most usefull grain I ever ever seen from a digital camera.
I bought the x100f a month ago. I had the x100t, so knew its limitations, but now I regret the decision and wish I'd gotten the x-E3. I love the ISO dial and built in ND filter, but aside from that, I miss the touch screen and ability to change lenses (I have the adapter lenses which don't change focal length much). Posting this comment for anyone else out there making the decision.
it's all about how the photographer wants to use the camera, I have an x-e3 which is beautiful and now i'm thinking of getting an x100f because of the ease of use and not having to worry about buying other lenses as i only take travel photos most of the time.
The x100f can't change lenses? Coz I'm planning to buy which is better..
just bought the xe3 cause the x100f is way much expensive, the xe3 is also a great deal with advance features..
Susan Bowen on the x100f since you can't change lenses if something bad happens to the lens like bad scratches or you drop and the lens crack or the metal bends its pretty much useless no?
Great pictures... love the “low tech” review style
Hey sir.. I'm really on the verge on buying this camera. What lens would you recommend on attaching to this? Love your videos. The music, your voice and specially your shots.
Mattias! Would you recommend the xe2 over the xe3? Love your videos sir
