FUJIFILM X-E4 | An X-Mount X100V for $849???

Рет қаралды 63,259

Күн бұрын

The Fujifilm X-E4 might be my new recommendation for the best camera in that ~$1000 price range. At $849, it gives amazing image quality and autofocus that is more than enough for basically any task I threw at it. Pairing it specifically with some of Fujifilm's smaller f/2 prime lenses gives you a very compact setup that is a budget powerhouse.
While I don't mention it much in the video, it also does 4K in F-Log and might get added to my KZfaq setup as a B-Cam in the future.
A huge thanks to the good people at @Moment for sending the @Fujifilm USA X-E4 over for launch.
Pre-Order the X-E4 here: moment.8ocm68.net/bWQ1g
*Just a heads up, the original price I was provided was $799, but it looks like the launch price is $849. Not a big difference, but needed to note.

A quick note that before release I was told the price would be $799 but it was updated to be $849. You can check it out here: moment.8ocm68.net/bWQ1g

It's $849 WITHOUT the hand grip and thumb rest. These cost extra.

True, I wasn’t given info on those things as they came in the box with the camera. Fwiw, for the pancake and f/2 lenses, I don’t think the grip is necessary, but the thumb rest is helpful. The grip would be great for larger/heavier lenses though.

Having a second "almost the same" camera body is super handy. I got my EOS 80D a few years back and then picked up a Rebel SL2 a while later precisely because their sensors are virtually identical. My wife uses the SL2 primarily as she likes the size, but I can sling both when I'm covering an event and the results between the two are indistinguishable even if the SL2 does lack some features. Any time a manufacturer can "reuse" a sensor and features across a line is a huge win.

I haven't looked at the specs yet, but the X-E3 + XF 27mm (first gen) was actually lighter and just as pocketable as the X100F. I wonder if the same is true of the X-E4 + XF 27mm (2nd gen) vs the X100V. (But by "pocketable" I mean "coat pocket", because none of these things are really pocketable).

The form facto was amazing and just made it a pleasure to use. I wish this had weather sealing but not a deal breaker for me. One area where the x100v is superior is flash sync speed. And to be honest, I like the option for a OVF. I wonder how this camera compares to the X-Pro3 as really the XE lineup is a baby X-Pro.

The EVF is the same as my 8 year old XE1. The XE1 got better button setup and the old first generation sensor has a more filmvibe look to the pictures. Bought one used with 2 great analogue lenses and a converter for 150 dollars. I really wanted the the XE4 and had put away money for it. But bad EVF, no WR in 2021 is just nuts. Instead I can get a XT3 with same sensor, great EVF, double card slots and WR for the same price as a new XE4.

XE4 was targeted more towards non-Fujifilm newcomers who are not enslaved to the traditional Fuji style of operation/control navigation. Hence, XE3 users would certainly complain. Therefore, XE4 is a simplified minimalist design for quick snapshooting without being bothered with loads of buttons and knobs. In reality, to take a fast pic, it involves only focusing, aperture, shutter speed and ISO. On XE4 on Auto ISO, these other non-critical parameters/privileges are all pre-set and set aside (perfectly logical) leaving only the exposed speed, aperture and compensation for quick tweaks. Fantastic. One thing is for sure, many Fujifilm loyalists cannot embrace change and have been enslaved to the historical design/operation of Fujifilm cameras. And we know that Americans are the creator and biggest advertiser and trainer of CHANGE MANAGEMENT and “embracing change”. Sheer hypocrisy😂😂 With the XE4, Fujifilm wants to break away from that old mould by attracting new target market who wants performance + simplicity. Think of a new Porsche owner needing to adapt to a barebones high performance Lotus Exige.

@@benjhaisch But it's the problem with this X-E4. No AF button, no back dial so the Q button begin essential with this camera and totally not at the good place ans with the thumb restgood luck for the buyers, not so design no? Everyone buy what they want but this camera for me and apparently a lot of other Fuji Xe users, it's a big no.

@@user-oq6de8sd6y totally fair, I’ve never used the X-E3 like I mention in the video, so I have no frame of reference for that. I can only base things off of my own use and experience with other cameras.

All depends on your needs. Personally, I love the smaller size and simplicity.

If you can get Fujifilm to pay me, feel free to let me know where I can sign up ;) I’m not primarily a Fujifilm shooter and primarily shoot Leica. The X-T3 and X-E4 are very different cameras for different uses imo

@@benjhaisch I have a X-E3 not X-T3. Talk about the real problems of this camera. Q button with thumb rest..., no focus button in front. A camera is not just a design, yes its a nice camera I am agree but zero ergonomic and for 1000 dollars with this ewpensive extra it's a real problem. The same of a XS10 with Ibis. Impossible to be so positive, it's not honest, sorry.

do not lie so obviously $849 it's just a body it looks like not a new camera but a downgrade of the previous model, so it should be a maximum of half-price of a previous model. but it not! so my recommendation do not buy before it's become $300 wit a lens

@mneedes2 3 жыл бұрын

300 with a lens? Downgrade from X-E3? do some research. It has a better sensor and that is just one thing. I'm not a big Fuji fan but I respect their design and engineering.

@@mneedes2 this all do not give money to you. It’s 2021 when noone buy cameras. And fuji with sich marketing will definitely die. That is sad. About research it’s just entrapment for pure educated folks like you))))) since when you become a scientist? What do you understand in research don’t you smart words when you do not know meaning. For my research except to maybe three professional models even dollar one candidate for any camera will be hard to get in this year.
