Thanks for the very calm and detailed rundown. Sometimes I like the more casual reviews and first look video's of camera's, but in this case the high production value and the pacing was just perfect to allow me to absorb all the information quite well. Also very nice for us non native English speakers. I think I'll save up a bit more for the X-E4, I already leaned towards it because no flip screen is just madness in this day and age, but knowing all the other small new features makes it a lot easier to spend the extra money. I'm a little annoyed about them taking away so many buttons and the grip though, €1060 for just a body with grips is quite a bit and you can't even use the hotshoe if you want some grip for your thumb. It kind of blows my mind. And the X-E3 was sooo beautiful and the chunky grip for the X-E4 is quite ugly if you ask me. Ah well, just had to rant a little bit, I'll get over it :) Thanks again!

I think the image quality difference is not that great, but the question is not only the final image quality, but how good the camera is in attaining the right conditions to hit that quality. X-E4 has a lot of software improvements that benefit in conditions where X-E3 would underperform slightly and sometimes significantly. Looks like a nice release for me to pick up a Fujifilm camera. Thanks for this review! Really detailed and thorough.

You have some of the clearest, most straightforward review and how-to videos that I've found, all presented in a pleasant friendly manner. I have the X-E3 and your comparison does a better job of highlighting the differences of any video I've seen. Great work! PS As and old movie film shooter, I get amused by those who fuss about video recording time. For me, it was normally a maximum of 9 minutes on 400' of 16mm film and about the same length on 1200' of 35mm film.

Excellent comparison, thanks Maarten. Where else on the planet can we get such a smooth concise and knowledgeable expansive rundown of all the differences between these two models. I've watched every X-E4 review I can find, and for the most part they only mention a few of the major changes in specification. If you listen to some, you are only getting the flip rear LCD panel and the newer 26 megapixel sensor in the upgrade. Since the X-E4 was released the price of the X-E3 has dropped here in the UK and I picked up a new X-E3 body only for £319 (whereas a XE4 body is £800). I have most of the small XF prime and zoom lenses and an X-T4 so for ocaissional street photography at 300 quid the X-E3 is bargain of the year. I'm a stills photographer and the E-X3 with the 27mm F/2.8 pancake fits in my coat pocket. Happy days! Thanks again for all that do for us! I hope Fujifilm recognises you, I've gone from XT-2 to X-H1 and on to X-T4 and X-E3 along with many lenses following your reviews and recommendations. In Maarten we trust!

As always, the most detailed, extensive and no nonsense review available. However, I personally would have loved to have a more personal description of the two different user experiences included as well. Even though that is of course subjective, it's still very helpful as for me personally, the general handling distinguishes the two cameras as much as the menu options. I know that you addressed that already in your dedicated reviews of the X-E4, but it would have been great to have been included again in this direct comparison video. Coming from somebody as well respected as yourself, subjectivity and personal opinions are doubly welcome, that's why I appreciate your "love-hate" videos so much, thanks!:)

Hello Mr. Maarten, I've just recently discovered your channel and I've been really pleased with it! I appreciate the mature tone and the level of detail in your videos. I have a question though, I've heard Fujifilm tends to be generous on firmware updates, so how likely do you think is it that the X-E3 to be given more features later on? For example AF improvements. I'm personally not well acquainted with Fuji cameras. I definitely like the X-E3 better, but I do also like several new features on the X-E4. Thanks!
@MaartenHeilbron
@MaartenHeilbron 3 года назад
Thanks, a pleasure to read your kind words. At this point, the firmware upgrades to the X-E3 have been pretty basic, and not adding functionality. I think that model is out of capacity for more, so I don't hold out much hope for new features.

I have an x70 and had (sold) the xe3. But I picked up a 2nd hand x-e4 kit for an amazing price. The transition from x70 to x-e4 is much easier than from the x-e3 to e4. The x70 and X-e4 shared the same lack of buttons and grippiness, but maintain the ever useful flip screen. And all the advanced improvements (especially video) from the x70 is VERY good. I will keep the x70 just because it's a cult classic and no longer available, but will now use the x-e4 as my primary grab-n-go camera.

Cant let this video pass without saying what a great job on the comparison! I was sad to hear Fuji might discontinue the XE line but then an XE4 did arrive. Ye like many I am heartbroken that some key items for me are gone (focus selector switch, rear dial) and the XE3 grip which allowed it to remain ergonomic without the additional size of an add on grip. All that said the updated CPU and faster more reliable autofocus win me over for an everyday carry camera to grab shots with. The flip screen is a major plus for my particular photography also. Win some, loose some. That said I enjoy seeing all the complaints as it gives me hope an XE5 might swing back a little towards the XE3 features!

Awesome comparison, Maarten. Thank you so much. 5 stars for you! The flip screen (missing that so much on my x-e3) and the clear distinction between photo and video does it for me. And I'm fine with the gripless Leica-like simplicity of the body - will get that thumb-rest, though. The lack of IBIS is a bit of a downer, but I'm really looking forward to picking one up. The all black looks beautiful and stealthy.
@MaartenHeilbron

Wow, thanks!!! Here's the thing about black and stealthy - it's too obviously stealthy. The thing about this design is that it doesn't look like a modern camera, even less with the silver top.

So, a question, do you see any stills image advantage from the 26Mp BSI-CMOS sensor over the 24MP CMOS senor? Thanks

I'm on the hunt now for either one of these, but my preference and focus is actually on the X-E3. I have large hands, so any added grip is a high priority. The removal of the rear command dial and the M/C/S switch are deal breakers. The X-E4 is also commanding a premium, with prices at or above MSRP. A combination of being discontinued and being mentioned as an option for anyone looking for an X-100V, I imagine.

@@MaartenHeilbron True. I got back into photography with the X-E2. I loved that camera, but I move it on for an X-Pro2. That camera (with its fiddly Shutter Speed/ISO dial) proved challenging, so I moved on to a Canon R6. It's nice, but it doesn't inspire me to get out and shoot. In addition to these X-E models I'm also looking at an X-Pro3. Also a Leica Q2 but have concerns about its tendency to blow out highlights and get grainy at 1600 ISO. The Q3 is just a ton of money. Basically, I'm looking for inspiration. BTW, great videos. Love the detail.

Thank you for such a wonderful detailed comparison. For the most part, I think the X-E4 will be a good camera for me. I shoot mostly with compact primes so I don’t think the missing grips will hinder me much at all. I do wish it had one or two more customizable function buttons. I never embraced the swipe functions on the X-E3 because they were to easy to swipe and change accidentally. Someone was speculating that the touchscreen on the X-E4 might have a press and hold before swiping function to reduce accidental swipes. Can you comment if the swipe functions have been improved that way?

I recently paid £350 for a new XE3 body only. The XE4 is now £800 BO. I do not need the flippy screen,and indeed view it as a somewhat fragile looking addition, but the biggest problem for me with the XE4 over the XE3 are the the functional compromises. The loss of buttons and dials and the removal of the grip. To be fair to the XE4, it is currently being offered at £950 here in the UK with the new 27mm WR lens so that seems good deal (if one does not already own the original 27mm). But on the whole the XE4 seems a disappointing upgrade to me.

As i think that the x-e4 removes one dial on the back, some setting might have to access from the screen.

Hello Mr. Heilbron, I recently did a video shoot with the X-E4 + 18-55 mm in a regular heated room (more or less 20 C).(4k, continuous focus). The camera overheated and shut down after 7 minutes. 15 minutes later, I tried again (4k, everything set to manual), shut down in about 7 minutes. It doesn't make sense, your test went to 23 minutes … What am I doing wrong ?

The tilting/flipping screen, Eterna profile are enough to justify an upgrade for me (I sold my X-E3 and currently have an X-E2s). All the other smaller feature upgrades you mentioned (especially clarity adjustment and focus limiter) are an unexpected bonus.

@MaartenHeilbron
@MaartenHeilbron 3 года назад
Although it's nice to have a battery charger, it's no longer an essential accessory, particularly if you have a USB-C external battery with power delivery, which will both power and re-charge the camera. Especially with the tripod socket so close to the battery door, I'm not losing slow over that. Although Panasonic is not the worst, I understand that issue. In my experience, Fujifilm seems to be less susceptible than others. Some Sony models seem to consistently attract dust, but I've yet to be bothered on a Fujifilm camera.

I am not aware of any camera that can record RAW format that fails to do so when in Program mode. There are a few that will not with the full auto mode. The X-E4, as a very light camera, tilts easily when any lens approaching its weight is used. In practice, I've found that even heavier, longer lenses (say the 70-300) seems balanced when the typical photographer hold (right hand on the camera, left under the lens) is used.

I have an old XE-1 with the XF35mm 1.4 lens and i ordered a little DJI pocket 2 camera because i want to do some product reviews. The thing is my old XE-1 has a really poor film mode, the AF is constantly pumping and working so i have to set it on manual focus but my dream would be a camera that can "track" objects like for example a vaccuum robot, so that the background is blurred but the vacuum robot is always in focus, for example when i film it from the front when it drives towards me. Is that possible with the XE-4 and if yes maybe my old 35mm XF lens is to slow? I dont want to see the focus skips in the video, so it needs to be smooth focusing. I thought maybe i just buy a little Sony ZV-1, it has a nice video mode with super fast focus and with the 1 inch sensor it maybe can also kind of blur the background. Do you need eyes and faces to to tracked or can it be an object as well?

Your expectations for this feature are a little higher than suitable for these models. If you do want out of focus backgrounds with excellent object tracking (no need for faces/eyes) look at the Sony A7 IV (full frame) or the Fujifilm X-T4. They are currently my top picks for this task.

Are you suggesting that you should not have the ability to set the white balance? That you should not have autofocus? That you would not be able to select the meter mode? Honestly, please think about this request. While I feel that the X-E3 and 4 should have been released without video functionality, and while clearly some features are not essential, I would certainly miss continuous shooting, brackets, interval timers and a long list of other capabilities that I use rarely, but would certainly miss.

​@@MaartenHeilbron Well setting white balance is for jpg shooters ;-) And to be honest, I bought a non AF lens and it's a lot of fun. But you're right, AF is usefull but we dont need 50,000 AF-points now do we? You dont need IBIS or any other form of stabilisation, you just need the knowledge of fixing unwanted slow shutterspeeds yourself, dont let the camera do the work for you!. I dont switch metering modes that often, I usually use centre W. Bracketing, i dont use it either. I'm okay with continuous shooting but i only use it at specific moments. Come to think of it, I never used interval timers either,..Let say, you really dont need anything more a analog camera from the 90ees had on a modern digital camera. Oh,..For some reason i stopped shooting video with my camera's a long time ago so it wont be missed from me either. Happy Shooting :D, Ridder

idk i think xe3 is ugly :) only thing that holds me back with xe4 is the missing back wheel

We disagree there. I find the X-E3 to be the more compelling design.

I've been thinking about the upgrade but was slightly put off with how Fuji has steered this camera towards a certain market. It got me thinking, maybe I do upgrade to a Pro.
@MaartenHeilbron
@MaartenHeilbron 3 года назад
I assume you are not similarly steered?

@@MaartenHeilbron hmm 50/50. Something to keep thinking about for sure. I always thought the XE was a step up before the Pro an actual baby brother but feels like this one isn't.

I have learned that weight and size is very important to me. Tried several bigger cameras - don't use them as much as smaller ones. That is why I landed on the x-e3 - and will buy the x-e4 - since I also prefer rangefinder-style cameras. Shame that the x-e4 weighs a bit more than the x-e3, every gram matters.
