The FUJIFILM X-E3 is INCREDIBLE

- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2018
- I recently bought the Fujifilm X-E3 after trying out both the Fujifilm X-T3 and the Fujifilm X-Pro2. While I really liked the two top end models, the X-E3 offered the same image quality in a smaller package. And its priced well under $1000.
This month the rumored Fujifilm X-H1 will likely be announced as another top of the line so it should be interesting to see what it offers.

Here's how I think of the transition from Canon full frame to Fujifilm X-T20, to the X-E series cameras. With the Canon it felt like I was sitting at a big, wide executive desk interviewing my subjects. With the X-T20 I was photographing acquaintances - you know, smiling but still being a bit reserved. With the X-E's I was photographing friends, smiling and laughing with my arm around their shoulders. Really - there's a very big difference in the connection.
I've fallen in LOVE with this camera. Thank you for the great video!
I picked up an X-E1 + 27mm pancake a couple months ago, and I've loved it so far! Definitely nice to have big image quality in a small package.
Also at under $200 used, the X-E1 is great for budget-minded shooters!
Ordered mine on the 1st of Feb :). I'm so happy to see you making a video about it since so few videos and reviews exist on it. I'm excited to make my next art exhibit based around this camera.
Nice video. I liked seeing you set it up with that ND filter and showed off their T mode with an example. You also made a good point about Fujifilm's camera range and price structure. They do tend to base it more on use-cases that relate to physical control and mechanical features such as dual card slots or more advanced viewfinders, which makes sense.
I think this would be great for my photography. Good to keep in mind.
Got my shirt yesterday. Unboxed and hoping to make a vid of it...I may have to get a deeper pixel one now!
Thanks, Ted! :)
Great video Ted, I've been debating a Fuji camera for stills for a long time now and watching your videos just makes me want one more!
As longtime Fujifilm user I now have an XE 3 and love it. I started with an XE 1 after a friend bought an X pro 1 and have had an XE 2 and XT 1. I love that even the 18 -55 2.8 to 4 lens is so good and that the XE 3 has the same sensor, autofucus and processor as the flagship models. I love the regular firmware updates that improve functionality and sometimes add features. The XE 2 came with wifi that allowed you to send images to the smartphone, then the XT 1 came with wifi that allowed the phone to control the camera functions via an app, then Fujifilm had a firmware update that enabled this feature in the XE 2. Brilliant.
i’ve been very tempted to get into the fuji system, looked at the X-T1 when the price dropped but have definitely been considering this also so this was very useful to me
Good review Ted, love that camera. Looks like the one I have been looking for in terms of features and price.
Great video - pretty much the same reasons I got the X-E2 back when. Love the size, image quality and functionality.
This video made my mind. Sold my Nikon and all gear and bought this little machine with 18-55 lens. Best buy ever. Much lighter for hiking and landscape photography. Great all around camera.
Great tips from a connaisseur, as always. Thank you very much. It is always great watching your videos.
Oh that T mode info got me excited! No more cables! I just got my XT2 and still learning. Thanks for the videos!
I bought the x-e3 with the 23mm f2 I think it’s a good jumping off point for starting in the Fuji systems. I use it as my personal street/everyday camera. I think it’s convinced me to invest in Fuji further down the line for photography. I hope Fuji will increase their video functions in the future too.
Passion for the art of photography, combined with extensive knowledge of the history of photography, influential photographers, technique and current technology. In my humble opinion, the go to man for any one with a serious interest in "the ART of photography." And as a bonus, this video; as I have decided to switch from Nikon to Fuji, and have just bought an x-e3 with a 23mm f2 fujinon and who better to review it. Thanks, Ted.
So want to get my hands on one of these, I tried out the T2 and loved it!
Another great video, a nice take on overviewing the X-E3. Kudos!
Ted, so glad to have found your channel. I'm pretty new to photography and I'm glad to cut through all the photo-fluff on RUclips and find something with substance. When's the next meetup/photowalk? I'm in the DFW area and I'd love to tag along sometime. Thanks for all you do.
Ted, thank you for my tee shirt. It’s just arrived. Very prompt to the UK. Great quality, thank you.
I love my Fuji X-Pro 2. Fuji is an outstanding company and i hope they keep doing great. They deserve it and earned it!
Very informative as always. I’m kind of in the same mindset with regard to spending more on the lenses and compromising (hardly) on the body. I bought the XT-20 instead of the XT-2. Like you it’s got the same sensor and MP and combined with the Fuji lens range you can’t tell the difference. I certainly don’t miss my Canon cameras anymore.
You just earned yourself a new subscriber! You make great vids!
Ted ... great video. Have been on the fence about buying this camera to replace an old Fuji X20 for street photography and I’m heading out to buy one. As always, thanks for your information and inspiration. Ciao
Love the filterholder system. It is probably the best out there. I do not own it myself but have seen how it works. It is great! Personally I use round filters with Xume magnetic adapters at 77mm and use stepup rings to compesate for the various diameters. It is not the same of course as square filters when it comes to gradiant filters, but it works like a charm!
I like using the OVF on the X-Pro2 for awareness during street photography, the digital viewfinder for portraits and close up or macro shooting.
Love this vid Ted. Owning an XE3 and that's absolutely not a regret.
Great review! I love the look of that square lens hood btw, which one that?
Mine arrives tomorrow, cannot wait!!
I have the X-E1 and X-T1. I love them both. Fuji is doing some amazing stuff right now. I don't own any Fuji lenses - I just use old, adapted lenses, so I can't comment on autofocus, but I'm fine with manual focus.
I'm loving my X-E3 so I am sure you will have fun with yours too, one great lens that you might like for it is the 10-24mm F4 the image quality is awesome, perfect for landscapes.
So good quality of content, very nice to see good montage and picture, and no matter of content ))
Nice E3 preview, thanks. I would love to see a video of how you setup your E3 camera. Thank you!
This is freaking awesome, the time shutter mode, wow. Fuji is killing it.
I own an X-E2 since 2015 and it is one remarkable little camera, even nowadays. Fuji is doing one heck of a job.
Great video as usual? I would love to know what is that filter setup you used and where could I get it? 🙏
Thank you! Super informative video. Great content. I remember waiting for the x e2s to be released. Then again waiting for the x e3. And when it was a touch screen i bought a used x pro 1. Meanwhile building up my m lense collection with the ultra cpmpact ricoh gxr adorning my colection with the summicron 35 3rd gen.
Now i will definately buy an x e3 with a grip! Thank you. Sincerely Daniel
Great review Ted. I've had Fujifilm cameras before and loved all of them. I actually own an Olympus but I’m considering going back to Fuji, so these Fujifilm reviews help a lot.
Both Olympus and Fuji offer the best ergonomics for my taste since I like to have access to dial buttons for the shutter speeds and aperture functions. Wouldn’t even think of going to another manufacturer without those options. I can set my camera much more quickly than if I had to maneuver through a menu system (or use smaller buttons).
We must beware when we talk about “Downsizing” mirrorless cameras because the downsizing must have no impact on the ergonomics. If its size forces a user to hold it an awkward manner then all the user experience is lost. And I totally agree with you Ted that one should not have to buy an extra grip to get the ergonomics back. It should all be built in from the start.
I thought that I didn’t need a weathered proof camera but I was wrong. I found myself shooting at -40 degrees and partly damage mine. So I will invest on one next time.
Correct me if I’m wrong (on a next video) but I would guess that using the electronic shutter over the mechanical one would limit the risk of accidents when shooting in very cold weather. Am I right?
omg that b-roll of the shirt had me in stitches.
Great review Ted! I have an X-T2 and need a second body and every day carry camera. I think the X-E3 would fit those requirements perfectly! I held one in the local camera store recently, and it seems like an awesome choice.
hey ted!
great video as always, really liked the music that was used in the video,
any chance you (or some one else) could refer me to the full song or artist?
I also love the x-e3. Can’t wait to see if that Eterna film emulation rumour turns out to be true, and wether it’ll show up on the x-e3. I encourage you to try one of the stabilised zoom lenses and shoot video btw. Surprisingly great stabilising for video, and amazing auto focus.
What are you talking about the Eterna film emulation "rumour"? Fujifilm is pushing the Eterna simulation marketing like crazy and already shown that it looked like. I don't know if it will be available in the X-E3 but what one thing is clear as water, the Eterna film simulation is *indeed* available in the XH-1. Otherwise they plainly lied.
I don't have the XH-1 in my hands right now but from memory, word by word, Fujifilm said that the Eterna is available for the XH-1 and it is not a rumour, I saw the video they shot with it and I cried just because of the colours after 30 seconds, not lying.
Sample of said Eterna simulation... just saying xD
3 weeks ago (when the comment was posted), Eterna had not been officially announced. It has since been introduced in the X-H1, and it looks really great. I hope the Eterna film simulation will migrate to the other new generation Fujifilm cameras. I really like it.
Hi Ted, just came across this review last night. Really nice review and I fully agree with your assessments. Welcome to the Fuji X system. I'm confident you find it as fun and fulfilling as many of us do. Regarding the 16mm....you may also want to consider picking up the 14mm f/2.8 some time. It was designed by the same optical engineer that designed the 16mm f/1.4 and the 23mm f/1.4, and it is optically really superb; exemplary. One of the finest lenses I've ever used, with virtually no geometric distortion. I've found it to be quite versatile (like you, I tend to shoot wide with my Fujis) and with respect to your smaller X-E3, it's considerably more compact and lighter than the 16mm f/1.4 Regards, Stephen Scharf
Thanks for the video and speaking of video, what did you think of the 4k video quality, did you try to tether(HDMI Capture Card) it to a computer? I do a lot of Live Streaming and I would love to find out how this camera would work in that type of environment. I know that is not your focus(no pun intended) so I totally understand if that is not something you have tried. Would love to know what you thought if you did try that out.
Great video Ted I’ve had a number of Fuji cameras but staying with xpro1 xe1 the superb 18-55mm f2.8-4 27mm f2.8 and 35mm f1.4 - Yes the bodies are a little slow in focus but that’s all - files are superb - love Fuji
Mine is arriving today, excellent video. 👍🏼
You are so right.... the X-E3 is just the best of all worlds. Small, smart but packed with power. Top dollar video. I love it.
Thanks Ted, was not fully sure about the X-E3... still work with my small X70 and am happy with it. But his one really looks like it would fit my needs. Good job as usual
Excellent review. Good speaker. Very informative
My friend has the xpro2 and I played around with that and some of the other Fujis at my local camera shop. Have you experimented with the various film simulation modes, or do you mainly shoot RAW and if the former, can you speak a little bit to your thoughts on that? Love your channel. Keep up the good work!
Those shots are astounding
Thank you it was very helpful as I am thinking about buying a Fujifilm camera for portrait and landscapes (& possibly street shooting) and was wondering which one to buy. Currently my Sony A6000 does more of my action/family gatherings & travel photography and a Panasonic GH4 my 4K video. Any Fuji lens that you could suggest?
i never get tired of the deeper pixels
Totaly agree started with an XPro2 and bought an x-E3 and now I’m founding myself myself using the xe3 in 9 out of 10 times. One great and cheaper alt to the grip that I got is a high end leather half case it solves all the problems you mentioned minus the arca plate but it looks mutch better. Love the camera and lenses and image quality like you. Thinking of seling the pro2 and get an x100f as backup camera. Keep making you great videos. Per in Sweden, - 28 Celsius No problem with the xe3 thats quality
Hey, I'm interested in that leather half-case, what's it called?
I have an x100f and an xpro2. I was thinking of selling my x100f as I wanted a small camera that I could use with my lenses for street but now that I think about it it would make sense to sell the xpro2. Plus I love my x100f and carry it everywhere. I shoot studio studio with the pro and street with the f but the way I shoot my pro would work with the xe3 and gain some cash for more lenses. tldr sounds like a good move from xpro2 to xe3
Great video, Ted! You didn't mention that the screen is not tiltable though. Doesn't that bother you? I'm using it a lot on my camera for low shots. Can't imagine to buy one without a tilting screen anymore.
Nice video Ted, I bought the X-E3 as soon as it came out and I love it, just one question : which grip are you using and where can I order it?
I'm agree with you.
The X - E serie cameras are awesome for street photography, small, easy to use and has the nearest looking as film , the advantage to have the viewfinder like rangefinder camera but viewing through the lens is so helpful, good performing in low light , equally sharp as D800 , even in high ISO, beautiful design, top and bottom sides are metal, very elegant , but nothing is perfect and now I will review my negative points:
The eyepiece is a bit small
Lacking of an central split -image rangefinder spot and micro prism grid , something that X-T series has
And the Focus Piking I wish more evident is difficult to see .
Apart of that great camera.
Fuji XE1
I own the the EOS R which I love the picture quality, but I find myself enjoying the X-E3 more for fun. It's soooo great. Still learning, but I need to learn more about the filter system you guys are using.
You're a great presenter mate, love your views of the Fujis.
Fantastic D'Addario mug!
On a whim I sold my Nikon system and bought the X-E3 for my trip to Japan. And I absolutely fell in love with the camera.
Wow, great video; very informative. Thanks.
I have Pentax and Nikon FF (with a suite of lenses for each) and they are great, but after walking 15 miles in Tokyo summer heat, I went and got myself an X-E3. With a light lens, I've got myself a really good imaging package, decent 4K Video and less wear and tear on my back.
I love my X-E3!
Awesome review. Thank you!!!!
Great review, Ted. I may just get the X-E3 after all. What Fuji lenses have you tried, and recommend?
Excellent video as usual. Question: Are you set on using only Fuji lenses or are you planning to use an adaptor for other lenses?
Great review. Thanks.
Ted, what about video? Your vlogs are what turned me on to fujifilm cameras - used to be a die hard Nikon guy since my FM days - don’t think I’ll ever go back. Thanks for what you do.
Hey Ted, how do you feel about the low light capabilities of this camera? I'm coming from a Leica M6 (and also M9), and shoot very street stye, no flash, day and night, so I'm used to pushing film. and shooting at wide open 1.4 or f2 at night. What would you say would be usable print (8x10 or 13x19) iso on this? 3200, 6400?
Hey Ted, are you still using the Fuji x-e3 on daily basis, a year later? ;)
thanks for great and funny video, keep upp this thing....Looove Fuji
Hello, I'm currently in the MFT system, but maybe would like to test an APSC format for the added dynamic range . Would you still recommand the X-E3 in late 2020 ?
Really liked the video interested in particular in the Neutral density filter system you are using can give details of brand etc please.
Hello Ted. Once again an awsome video. I am usin the fuji xpro2 and the xt2 and I can absolutely confirm your comments about the sensor quality.
And - I must have this t-shirt 🤪🤣.
Best regards, Ian
Great video. That filter holder caught my eye. Would you provide more info. on it please?
What cable release can you use on this camera? I can't move my right hand to press the shutter release (SCI) and would need the remote. THANKS!
So when shooting street, do you use a pancake lens? I am torn between this and the 100f, I currently have a d3300 that I use with a Nikon 35mm f1.8. I have a tamron 17-50mm 2.8 with it. I like the versatility and don't want to give up my IC lens camera, because I want to be able to do portraits and such later on of my daughter etc, but I love street photography mainly and the idea of the F with its leaf shutter and such makes me want it and use it in addition to the d3300, however, the xe3 would reduce my costs by quite a bit as I would be able to trade in the d3300. I have wanted to upgrade the d3300 for a while now thought because the lack of focus points and HSS capability.
What lens would you recommend from the one its packed with?
What is the highest ISO you are happy with for street photography and long exposure? Thanks.
A feature that I love is the Bluetooth geotagging à la Sony. The X-E3 is my next camera!
Great camera and my next purchase. Currently running an X-T1 and a XE-2S for all of my work. Love the size of the Fuji kit and the image quality is superb.
@Alessio Di Summa yes, it's my backup body and great carry around camera.
Hello Ted, cool video I am here 2 years later after the recording of this video with a new X-E3 for the same reason I rather have a nice glass. I have a question maybe you can help me. I noticed when using the camera in T mode the exposure compensation dial doesn’t work, only in A mode, so is kind of useless, there is any setting that I am missing to have the exposure comp dial working? Thanks once again
I've been wanting a Fujifilm camera for a long time now but have been waiting for the right one with the right features. Like you, I wanted small camera, great IQ, but also a joystick, and a camera I could have with me at all times. It wasn't feasible carrying my 5DMKIV's everywhere. The fact that you get so many features in such a small package blows my mind. I will say that I have the same issues with the swipe features and something else; I like shooting using the viewfinder but the eyecup is almost non-existent and allows a lot of ambient light in. The jpegs are wonderful with the film simulations and now Capture One Pro supports the X-E3s RAW files. I love this little camera!!!!
Love hearing from real usage (not just a review period). I've entered the Fuji system (toe in the water) with a X-M1. X-E on my radar for sure. I think for me it will come down to flip/articulating screen. IE: once I know how much of a big deal it might be.
Curious about the lens hood you've got on that lens, did it come with it? Is it the 35 F/1.4 lens? Also wondering if it's worth an upgrade from the X-E2 to this one?
I'm looking at the X pro 1 or this X E3 to try out range finder, I'm new to range finder camera, what is your recommendation? thanks.
Great review, I’m torn between the X-Pro 2, the X-E3, and the X100F. Can I ask what filter system you’re using. I’ve never seen that filter holder before.
Thanks for the video Ted!
I'm loving the XE1 and picked it up in 2017 for only £150.
It's a lot of camera for such a bargain price.
I'll keep an eye on the XE2, and XE3 and hopefully try one soon.
Film Camera Reviews : Still got my XE1 converted to Ir with 720nm filter just a superb design
I have anXE-1 and an XPRO1...I can't see getting a camera with just the joystick and not the keypad...If I ever wanted to go up..it would be the XT-20
I have the XE-2 and I love it.
Jon Tait I'm not sure if I should upgrade to the XE2 or not...I think it's much quicker at reading and writing to SD cards than the old XE1
No..I would only upgrade to te XT20...An awesome camera.....
Sorry, what camera and mic do you use to record your videos? Thanks in advance.
First, I have been watching your channel for a long time and wanted to congratulate you for your very good work. I have some thing to say over your comments on the handgrip/plate for the camera : there is a technical reason for the tripod soquet in cameras for not being centered with the lens, simply there is no space in most big sensor compact camera to put it there. The soquet have to be strong to secure the camera that implies a certain size of the assembly for the screw. Years ago when the sensors where small it was easy to put the tripod screw aligned. But in a camera of that type to put the screw under there you would need to make the camera bigger ; that is just to put the optional plate/grip permanently integrated to the camera. In my view is better to have it as an option just for the person that wants to, when they wanted it. Sorry for my bad English. Congratulations on your work in the channel, specially on classic and not so well known photographers and their works.
Very intresting camera. Need some advices. As a newbie in camera world. Should i choose this camera instead other similar camera and what lenses do you use?
still love and use it often even dough I got newer and more expensive Fuji bodies.
What camera are you using to film yourself? Quality looks amazing.
Hey what tripod/ball head is that? I've got a cheap ballhead that came with one of those budget CF tripods, and I want to replace it with something a bit more sturdy (it wobbles around at the connection between the tripod and the head).
Love this review, but why do you have one of the programable wheels set to change shutter speed when there is a dial for that on top? Thanks.
Yes I have a question: photo assignments. Waiting until March or are we getting one for February?
Question..
I wear glasses, I'm concerned about the evf detection with the x-e3 is this as much of an issue as it was with the x-e2? It's why I went for an xt1
Nice review of the features of the X-E3, Ted! When I got the X-Pro2, neither the X-E3 nor the XT-2 was released, and I wanted the extra resolution and new processing engine, hence I jumped on the X-Pro2. Since I print quite large (24x36" poster prints), and as I shoot 100% stills (landscapes and products), I am likewise anxiously awaiting the XT-3's alleged new sensor and engine! The X-Pro2 however, has proven to be extremely robust and reliable, even though I too, rarely take aadvantage of the hybrid EVF/OVF features. As for the upcoming hybrid XH-1, I think mostly video shooters should love that one! I also agree with your statement that Fujinon lenses are outstanding! In my 35+ years in photography, the Fujifilm X-System I find needs the least post-processing; the image sharpness, dynamic range and tonality are simply that good OOC!
