  • Originally I was going to review the X-E1 and compare it to my X-E4. But I did some searching and saw that nobody else on RUclips had done an in hand comparison with all four generations. So I picked up an X-E2 and an X-E3 and ended up reviewing all four cameras from the Fujifilm X-E series that have been released to date in 2022.
    We will go in depth on each cameras' ergonomics and how they differ for practical shooting purposes. At the end of the video, you can find a summary on which X-E camera might make sense for you based on current used pricing and availability.

    why not just make a x100v body with changeable lens? 😭

    As someone new to Fujifilm, this was a really helpful video to understand the series and differences between the XE models. Having loads of fun with my X-E1 loaner!

    The XE range is in my opinion severely underrated and overlooked within both the Fuji and wider photography community. I love my XE3, such a capable camera with an amazing design and form factor.

    Woohoo! X-E1 is my favourite :) It has outlived my X-Pro 2, X-T2, and probably my X-H1, none of which I fell in love with quite the same way. X-E1 is aces.

    The pop-up flash was removed from the last two XE cameras. That was a mistake by Fuji, in my humble opinion.

    So the X-E1 makes you slow down and learn the beauty of it, got it.

    The X-E3 is for me the perfect camera. I don't shoot video but it's the bomb for photography. It pretty much replaced my Olympus PEN-F, even though I love my PEN-F too.

    I had the X-E2 and sold it and got the X-E1. It works great with my M42 lenses and since I shoot manual it works in my work flow. In addition the original Xtrans sensor is what got me into using the X-E1. I also use my Xpro1 and XM1 because they also use the same sensor. If you were to use Fujifilm lenses all the time then going to the later models will be advised, but if you're into film vintage lenses and love the original magic this sensor brings then X-E1 is a great option.

    The Fujifilm X-E1 is my main cam because it was on a budget. I normally use it with manual lenses and have not found any disdvantage. There is no slow camera, just slow photographers 😬.

    I hate rangefinder style, so for me is preferable the XT30II, that is near the size of the XE4. But who knows, if I find a bargain XE4 could be a great opportunity to experiment

    X-E1 paired with 35mm 1.4 was the camera set I started with and I've taken my best photos with it. There's some kind of character in those photos. It may be because of the sensor X-E1 uses, I guess. I then moved to XT-series and years later realized that taking photos with them became way too much focused on playing with the knobs and settings instead of subjects and just taking photos. Now after years of dry photo season I bought the X-E4 and refound the joy of photography. Sometimes simpler equals better - at least for me it does.

    Man I really loved this video. You mentioned things as no other channel is mentioning. Really complete. Found great value on it. 👏👏

    The X-E4 has always been the goal for me due to the tilt screen. I stepped into the fuji world with the X-T1 but love the compact size of the X-E series. Thanks for the comparison video!

    owning all of a camera series…. an achievement I have only dreamed about and have always wanted to produce a video about! good stuff my guy!

    Bought an XE4 shortly after launch and the online community hammered me about the level of minimalism. But ... dials! But ... focus mode switch! It's a great camera, and the existing dials, buttons, and touch screen are functional and, to a degree, reconfigurable enough. I even sold my XT4 and kept the XE4. Because I liked small and I can pop the XE4 on a gimbal (Crane M3 in my case) if I really need stabilization with a small lens. I kept my XE3, selling my X100F, making my mirrorless workflow all XE series. I love these cameras.

    Been trying to decide between the X-E2 and X-E3 for weeks and this was the most helpful video I've watched so far. Thanks!
