FUJIFILM X-E4 vs X100V | The Perfect EDC Cameras?

Күн бұрынThe X100V has become my daily carry for a perfect personal camera for the last few months so when I got my hands on the X-E4 I was blown away and totally torn on which camera to grab when heading out to photograph my life.

Huge benefit of the X100V to me: NOT having the ability to change lenses. It's like in the old days - "I'll bring the camera". As in THE camera that has that one lens. No fussing about which lens to take etc. just throw it in the bag. Done.

@BoopyTheFox Жыл бұрын
Lenses break. Being able to fix the whole system by changing a component, is valuable. Also, different lenses mean different systems. Grab a compact zoom lens with nice and wide aperture and short minimal focus distance and you're set in the "single camera" department! Sure it's gonna be hella expensive and a perfect lens doesn't exist, but hey, "single camera"! Also, kit lenses (when made meaningfully, and not as a nudge to buy a better one) exist for that exact reason.

As someone who has wanted to upgrade from the X100 F to the V for a while now the XE-4 release did make me want to see a comparison video and your video certainly helps me in my decision making to upgrade to the V. I think the EX-4 is a great secondary camera like you said for weddings which I am considering but I am more tempted to lash out on a second XT3 or more likely the XPRO3.

I think fuji likes to use the X-e line to test out changes that may come down the line on other products.. like the xe3 was the first to get bluetooth, that later showed up on other cameras with a much improved experience. so the button layout maybe something they are playing with to see what works in the real world. Good video!
@riverpb5250 2 жыл бұрын
actually, in the case of XE4, i've read some articles theorising that the reason for the drastic change of the XE4 is that fuji is planning to kill the XA line entirely and that the XE line is going to be the "entry level" line. the XA7 apparently did not sell well, and just the general "cheap" / "basic" entry level niche isn't booming in the camera industry (since everyone uses phones on that level) initially, we all know that the XE was an XPRO-LITE. with the original E1 and E2 (which i both own) have the same exact design from the xpro... but smaller. but now, they''ve realised that the XE lineup doesn't sell as much because the XT20/XT30 is cannibalising this category, so might as well relegate the cheapest "proper" fuji

Huh ! The 3rd time watching this video, still picking up different things … different ideas about how I could use each of them. One thing that occurred to me, if u wanted a camera where u can change the lenses - ie the xe4 in this compo - would u not go for xT2 or 3 with - I believe - with an ASA adjustment already available, rather than assigning a it to a spare control … don’t worry, it’s probably a very easy answer if I looked at the specs, but just kinda wondered why u didn’t mention them at all… not EDC cameras perhaps … // Anyway, great video, thanks.

The most irritating thing about the X-E4 is not having a focus mode switch and an ISO selector of some kind. It would have been a superb camera had Fuji not gone cheap with the physical controls. There are things that I deem essential and that must be accessible on the top tier: Focus Mode, ISO and Drive. Of the three none is accessible directly in the E4. IMHO it is one of the poorest designs of the entire X line. OTOH, the X100V is brilliant, a true leap forward of a genial design that gave the photography world what Leica should have created long time ago.

It has a drive mode button and and has a Fn button I use for ISO. You then have focus modes on one of the LCD swipes which is annoying but not the end of the world.

One additional consideration is whether you're already invested in the Fuji lens system. IMO the cost savings really only applies if you already own multiple Fuji lenses. Yes you're saving $100 with the XE4 + 23mm, but if this is your first Fuji camera and you're already planning on getting more lenses later, then that savings is a moot point. Plus you're getting a lot more bang for buck with that extra $100.

Just ordered the Fuji X-E4 as I wanted a world class travel/street camera. Deliberated between the X100V and the X-E4. Love the X100V viewfinder, ND filter, leaf shutter and 23mm lens, but ultimately the lens interchangeability, ability to use OIS lenses, slightly more flexible video won out for me. I ordered it in silver kit with the 23mm f/2.8 pancake. Also picked up the nice 18-55 f/2.8-4.0 WR OIS lens for all around shooting. Wanted to ask you where you got your nice camera straps

Decided on Fuji for the colour simulations as i want to spend the least amount of time on a computer in post and went for X100v. I added a WCL-X100ii last month and now very happy with platform, digital 35 & 55mm crop + wide lens options. I looked long and hard at xpro3 but concluded i would wait until xpro4 before deciding if i want to invest heavily. My main problem is now wanting to hire & trial Leica...... ;)

You were talking about the button placement and we're confused why the designers hadn't put play button in the same place as on the X100V...well, one reason could be that it has allowed he joystick to be moved away from the bad place it's in, on the X100V (where my thumb kept landing on; moving the focal point off, until I bought a thumb rest) and has allowed the X-E4’s joystick to move out of the way...

I'm very new to photography and If im not mistaken the 35mm on the x100v should be able to capture further subjects than the 27mm? I'm really looking for a compact one, and the 35mm on the xe4 is a bit big for me. So in short im looking for a compact camera for concerts since bulky ones arent allowed.

Just switch on and shoot. My question is though, are the picture qualities the same? I've heard fuji make very sharp sensors. You'd think the xe4 would be lesser as its much cheaper?

One aspect that I’m super excited about is the built in film presets. I have read that on other Fuji cameras you can save custom presets (outside of the built in).... is this also the case for the x- e4? I haven’t been able to find anything on that subject!

@Annie If custom recipes is a primary concern, then the X-E4 is the one for you. While previous models can save custom settings there are some limitations in the firmware, mainly not being able to save White Balance shifts as part of the custom setting. This is can be quite a frustrating limitation and the later cameras such as the X-E4 fix it. The additional film simulations and improvements of saving custom recipes It is one of the reasons I am upgrading my X-E3 to the X-E4. As well as better Autofocus etc. of course. Fuji X Weekly is the place to start for custom settings, for the X-E4 you will choose the X-Trans IV ones.

I also watched your video on the X100V as a travel camera, and I think I’m 60/40 leaning towards it because at this point it’s the compactness and fun of the X100V vs the image and versatility of basically the 56mm 😂 whatever you decide, I’ll use your link to order

I’m a photographer that does wedding portraits and freelance work. But I want a nice EDC camera that I’m not fiddling with too much and not making every shot a photoshoot aka changin lenses and such. Currently can purchase an x100v at a higher price than msrp. Doesn’t bother me too much but I just wanna make the right choice. Already own a 5D mark IV with a 50mm 1.4, 85mm 1.8 and 35mm 1.4. So I don’t need the whole switching lens thing just wanna go outside with a cam and shoot. So should I pull the trigger or wait for a newer one ?

@delukxy 3 жыл бұрын
E4 needs Fuji's expensive grip which then makes the same price as the V. As a glasses wearer I'm surprised you didn't mention the recessed and much poorer resolution eyepiece. Supposedly it's even poor for non glasses wearers. It may have interchangeable lenses and a selfie screen but it loses so much over the V. This sort of complex screen mechanism is an accident waiting to happen. Not one of Fuji's best efforts. Not so bad for owners who already have lenses.

No doubt that the XE-4 is receiving a reinvigorated boost in sales in light of the X100V being almost unobtainable at the moment. EVF comparison aside, the XE-4 really is the better buy if you want to explore either end of the focal length spectrum, the 23mm f2 length comparison here does no wrong, but I sold my copy because it was a bit of a Golden Retriever- perfectly nice, suitable and....meh. Go wider or longer I say..

@musicmaestro88 2 жыл бұрын
I get the sense that a lot of shooters have never shot a camera that TRULY gets out of their way so they can focus on creating. Most of what I've seen said about the XE4 is like getting ANY new camera --> the "new camera blues". I also think that "you get used to it", and then it's your new normal. Then shortly after that you wonder how you ever survived your entire life w/out having an XE4. :) I take my GRii out a lot for the simple reason that it's less "in my way" than my A7iii and A6500. My prediction is... history will rate the XE4 much higher than it's being rated today. (someone screenshot that so they can call me out later). LOL I think another issue is people "thinking" the that XE4 is the "new XE3" and that's totally gonna lead to disappointment. But I think Fuji's is the blame for this because of the naming convention used. As far as "less functional" controls than the x100v I disagree. The xe4 is just designed to be shot differently. I also find it interesting that Fuji users say they want something more like Leica but as soon as you reduce the physical buttons people lose their minds. If you set your camera up to win you lose nothing functionally between the 2. You will outgrow the x100v if you ever wake up and don't want to use a teleconverter (every added piece of glass you put between the subject and the sensor degrades quality). If that happens you have to buy a new body. If you outgrow the xe4 you're only a lens purchase away not a new body. The Xe4 is future-proof in that way. :) IG: freshouttafocus

I mean, if money was no issue, I’d probably get an X-Pro3 or an X-T4 ;) That being said, if you want the 50mm perspective, I’d avoid the X100V and then you’re basically choosing ergonomics between the X-T30 and X-E4.

Why do you not compare the pancake lens that was sold alongside the X-E4 instead of the 23mm? I understand the focal length is more comparable but the difference isn't that big between 23mm and 27mm while the lens size is cut in half.
