FUJIFILM X-E4 vs X-Pro3 vs X100V | Ultimate Comparison

[@benjhaisch]

What’s your pick? I’m a huge fan of each for different reasons. Pre-Order the X-E4 here: moment.8ocm68.net/bWQ1g Order the X-Pro3 here:moment.8ocm68.net/yn35V Order the X100V here: moment.8ocm68.net/m9XZX ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

[@blood_n_guts_murphy]

100% the X Pro 3, but its a bit heavy, so I am sticking with the nearest XE, the XE2, for now. The 4 is more like a mini X100 than a mini X Pro.

[@myblackboxrocks]

X100V complements my X-T4 as a family, daily documenting camera - nice to have the same workflow for both and similar results

[@EddieInzauto]

⚡️ I think it’s worth mentioning that the X-E4 plus the XF27mm R WR should be pretty darn close in depth to the X100V, while offering a tighter “normal” lens field of view, and still costs $1049 as a bundle.

[@simonin3d]

The value to cost ratio is great on the X-E4. Just copped one for about $700 used which I thought was a great deal.

[@manuelight]

@@simonin3d awesome, how do you like it?

[@franzst.664]

Great comparison. Thank you! 1.5 years ago, I got the “V” as a “fun camera” next to my Nikon full frame DSLR. Barely touched the Nikon ever since and ultimately got rid of it. I looked long and hard at the pro3. But that screen is too damn gimmicky for my taste. And after years of hauling gear around and always debating which lens to bring, the “35mm only” obligation has been a bliss. That said, the 50mm equivalent tele converter and the Fuji EF-60 flash do wonders for me (for the occasional portrait). Such a nice “complete” pack, all weather sealed and without the temptations of getting a closet full of lenses….

[@yansen699]

[@jeffreyb.1657]

XE-4 is a Q2 killer.....simple....style, with XF lens....bingo. Focus is better with e fuji. price.... X pro 3 is a q2 and M killer. And SL killer. The 3 is just on another level. One has to get to the SL2 to beat it and even then....focus on the x pro 3 is better. And focus matters.

[@rkuns]

Interesting that Fuji makes many body variations with same sensor and essentially same processor. Be interesting with a mono sensor. ⚡️

[@amg231]

I have the x100v as my fun, grab and go digital camera and it’s perfect for that. I love having the hybrid viewfinder as I prefer the optical viewfinder but will use the evf from time to time. It is great to have that option and it’s shame no other camera systems has something like it.

[@lueniopue2488]

I guess the Xe-4 and the 27mm will be a really good combo, and have the hability to change lenses is not a bad thing. However WR can be handy.

[@jamesbarron5590]

⚡️⚡️ I have had the X-e4 for almost a year and just got the x-pro3. All because I initially wanted the x100v. I have tried to find an x100v at retail but have had no luck. But I can honestly say I am happy that I didn’t because I love the X-e4. I love the ability to change lenses and now want something with weather sealing. I just rewatched this video to gain more knowledge on the x-pro3

[@kvncnls]

LMAO that timer had me cracking up.

[@alancornes8916]

Well done. Great review I’m glad you remembered to include the leaf shutter, flash, and ND filter on the X100V

[@TCinSoCal]

Well said. All 3 of those are HUGE. Shooting wide open in sunlight.. shutter so silent it’s basically an invisible camera, and a flash that I use often. Indoors and out.

[@spyhunter6411]

My x100v is an object that brings me joy. As shallow as that is, I absolutely love it.

[@dsego84]

I don't understand why they crippled the x-e4 so much, no built-in flash (could be the pop-up kind), no focus mode switch, no back thumb dial, no grip contour. The x-t30 has all of those, but if you want the rangefinder style and interchangeable lenses, you're stuck with these compromises.

[@krishnakumarr9619]

Hope the Xe5 gets the xt50 treatment of getting close to it's premium equivalent (which is the xpro series? So not sure how they might do it).

[@SL-jo4om]

X-E series is definitely the back-up body par excellence for the Fuji system. I have the X-E2s but I'm getting the X-E4 + 27mm mark II combo precisely because I want a slim back-up body with tilt screen and weather resistant pancake lens for my X-Pro3.

[@yeknomlana]

🌩 so not much difference except view finder and the dual card slots from xe and the x pro, interesting...

[@Kusanosuke1]

⚡ Nice comparison video. I have both the X-Pro2 and the X100V. They both get used an equal amount. I tend to use the X100V to just simplify things when I start overthinking what I should put in my camera bag. I also noticed that Voigtländer M mount lenses tend to be used more frequently on my X-Pro2 since I picked up the X100V.

[@Narsuitus]

Great comparison video ! I am a Leica 35mm film rangefinder shooter. Instead of a digital Leica rangefinder, I prefer to use the Fuji X-Pro1 and X-Pro2.

[@Luke97979]

Im really thinking about switching from the X100v to the XE4 simply because the fast heating of the X100v annoys me more than I want to admit because it is not a real issue but still the only thing that keeps me from keeping it. Has someone made any experience with the XE4? Has it because of the similar body the same heat production?

[@Being_Joe]

I think Fuji is taking a page from Leica in thir releare strategy... release the best design then figure out how to lower the cost with a still great but not as great camera. I still want that X-Pro3 but I would be fine with any of these (I actually like the idea of a hidden screen).

[@julian.km85]

Please make review of the xpro 3 with the voigtländer lens or a summicron. 🙏🏼 Nice video by the way

[@downtofun]

⚡️This was super rad! I really appreciate the perspective. You do a nice combination of technical aspect balanced with the everyday shooting reality of the gear your review. Thanks again!

[@_parkphoto]

The X-E4 design really reminds me of a Leica CL / Minolta CLE which I think is super dope.

[@noelsapulete575]

The xpro 3 somehow inspires me to shoot. It’s just really fun 🤤. The other ones look also beautiful

[@JoeLopez]

This is great information, thank you for keeping us posted on this new X-E4 and helping us make decisions :) I am certainly leaning back to the X100V personally. In black of course.

[@cshaw317]

⚡I have an XE3 and X100V. I had an XPro2, Sony a6300, various Nikons. After purchasing a few 35mm RF film cameras and LOVING them I decided to look for something like them in the digital world. The X100V is the closest thing I could find and it's brilliant! The XE3 is sitting in it's box! ⚡

[@simonwilliams2109]

Loved my x100f, and my X-E3, but have just sold them both and bought the xPro3.

[@exif6839]

The best is X100V because you don’t need to buy extra lenses and you don’t need them. Leaf shutter and build in flash is also a major target. Perfect camera for traveling, city, nature but not for wildlife… so as always a compromise but a good one.

[@johnsherwin9054]

I want my X-E4 like, yesterday. 👌📷

[@nathanielngosy]

Hi Benj Haisch. Thank you for the comparison. I was seriously considering the X-E4 + 27/2.8ii bundle until Fuji announced that the body wasn't WR (and I was already willing to accept some of the vital switches/dials/buttons they removed from there). I'm curious about your leather straps attached to the PD anchor links. Did you have them customized such that you had them stitched permanently on it anchor links? Thank you.

[@buddyWalrus]

[@philipcooper8297]

I'm surprised the X100V has no stabilisation. It isn't a cheap camera, while you can't just put OIS lense on it, can you?

[@earthtonick2662]

⚡Two years on and still relevant! I was hoping this made my choice easier, but it made it even harder. Fuji is on a different level!

[@sarahdippity]

I "watched it all the way to the end." Thank you! Enjoyed the video very much. I love all 3 cameras but really want a great compact one everyday one. :)

[@benjhaisch]

Thanks for watching!

[@Chazyfizzlez]

Fuji needs to add IBIS to the xpro and OIS to the x100 line. I switched from the X100F to leica q2 and the OIS is so underrated for shooting landscape/cityscape at night because i can hand hold down to 1/4 shutter speed and get a cleaner image by keeping the ISO low. It's really the only thing keeping me from buying into the fuji rangefinder style cameras.

[@craigcarlson4022]

I’d just like to second what Chazyfizzlez has mentioned about how adding ibis could really make these cams more appealing.

[@Chazyfizzlez]

@Erik Burgerhagen Really? I can definitely say it's better to have IBIS/OIS than to not have it. I use the stabilization frequently in night shoots. Leica Q has OIS the GRIII has IBIS. There's absolutely no reason Fujifilm can't fit stabilization into their Xpro/X100 lineup especially given the fact their competitors are offering it (even in smaller form factors like the Ricoh GR)

[@thomfal1986]

The X-E3 is still a really good option compared to the X-E4.

[@RandyPollock]

Watch to the end, very helpful. I have the 23mm f2 already so I would lean towards the E4...or should I just keep using my X-T2 with the 23?

[@smackedflat]

Great video, I appreciated that you kept specs nice and quick for these cameras. You gave them a good breakdown describing their similarities/differences in functionality for who they would be best suited for, while providing a lot of great side by side size comparison shots. Thank you ⚡️⚡️⚡️

[@PhilZwick]

Good comparison but you were late mentioning unique and to me important X100V capabilities like the leaf shutter, which permits great fill in flash (as only the V has flash), and the built-in ND filter. You did not mention the amazing digital zoom (50mm and 70MM) available in the X100V, which I have used with great quality results while traveling. These things separate the X100V from the pack.

[@benjhaisch]

eh, I'm never a fan of the digital zoom, but I can understand the convenience. Personally, I also don't use the fill flash ever so it didn't really occur to me until the very end. fwiw, I don't script these videos at all, just sit down and record whatever my thoughts are at the moment ;)

[@asimplefarmer]

Love the cheeky editor’s notes on screen.

[@AlChemicalLife]

I'm a Sony shooter but i am super tempted to pick up either the XE-4 or another compact camera i can take out and just have fun with when i don't want to lug around my a7iii or Riii. And at BH the XE-4 Is pretty cheap if you are a student and have a student account with them. I think I'm gonna get the XE-4 for some street photography...⚡⚡

[@fredbloggs545]

A new XE-3 is half the price and just as good. Use the difference to get the 27mm f2.8 pancake.

[@looppp]

I have the A7III and just picked up the X100v as ny secondary camera. Best decision ever

[@alhOOO2O]

*has quick release clips on all his straps *doesn’t take them off and spends the whole video with the straps getting in the way

[@youssefhamidi8152]

Xpro3 is grossly overpriced imo. Id be willing to pay $1299 for the body but at $1800 they are asking too much.

[@amg231]

[@dannycph]

Even today, before choosing which model to buy, if you have not tried it, you must try the OVF feature on the X-proX or the X100X models. It was groundbreaking when Fuji introduced it in 2010 and still is today.

[@DiscoveryTec]

Hey @benjhaisch . Loved this video. I do have a question about the lenshood that you suggested to buy on the video description (JJC Lens Hood). Is this the same one that you're using on the X-E4 35mm lens? I want to buy the same one for me but on the amazon link seems it is specific for x100v lens.

[@IgorGojdic]

Very nice video, nicely summed up and compared the 3 cameras. Its also very interesting how Fujifilm thinks and is not afraid to experiment and at the same time some Fuji decisions are "interesting" there is always something missing in a camera. I think would be fantastic, if Fuji could make the X100V with interchangeable lenses, with IBIS and bigger EVF. this would be a THE RIGHT CAMERA for everything! :) what is your opinion?

[@michaelhall3718]

⚡️I’m really conflicted in which one I want! I won’t be getting it for a few months, but they all seem to have advantages and disadvantages

[@vladimirtomin8223]

[@okthen8445]

I’m curious which lens hood is on that xe4 23mm f2. Which specific brand is that vented hood

[@vlota]

Couldn't listen for more than two minutes, because of the irritating lift music in the background. Why? Just why?

[@allenschneider1847]

Fugi makes such great cameras but also has the tendency to "goof their product up." Why in the world would they make the xe4 without a focus mode dial on on the front and a basic grip. If they would have also included an iso dials with the SS dial they would have had a true "mini" xpro3.

[@frankly5171]

The lack of IBIS is a deal breaker for me even though the designs are very tempting.

[@alexphan7303]

You don’t need ibis lol

[@nikos-giorgos]

@@alexphan7303 Maybe he does

[@cameraman655]

Well, I own the X-Pro 3 as well as the ‘2’, love those rigs and they nicely complement my X-T2 that I use for action work. The X-E2s was my introduction into the Fuji system when moving from Canon after 35 years back in 2017. At first glance, the X-E4 was looking like a “must-have” to replace the X-E2s, however, on closer inspection (via KZbin) the missing focus switch from the from of the camera is a big negative for me, that said, I will withhold judgment until I have a chance to try it out, once my local camera store gets a few in stock. Love the looks of the ‘100’, but the fixed lens is a deal killer....for now🤤 but I might succumb at some future date when my wallet allows.

[@lewishop3]

I just fall in love with the X-E4, now waiting till I can buy one and start taking some photos with it :D

[@ObservingBeauty]

[@tomislavmiletic_]

⚡️ Since I already own too much X cameras those cameras with interchangeable lenses are already surplus for me. But X100V is small and compact and I'm seriously thinking on acquiring that little beast. On top of that, it has weather sealing. Why is that important?

Hi Ben….hugely helpful ⚡️…especially in helping with cognitive dissonance in picking the XE-4 over the X-100v. Love the work.

[@coleb7644]

late to the comments but, with the x100v. is the 28mm too wide for applications or is it balanced well with the crop?

[@benjhaisch]

The X100V is a 35mm equivalent, so it’s a pretty good everyday lens. Not too tight, not too wide.

[@WhoIsSerafin]

The X-Pro three just makes me angry with that design. But the X100V is a fascinating camera that is the only camera in the Fuji lineup I’m seriously considering instead of a new lens for my m4/3 system.

[@MrTiomanisland]

Benj why are your videos not sharp (when you sit at the table)? You are always blurry. THank you.

[@benjhaisch]

[@cosmiqueorg]

[@Fatherrdiff]

I’m loving these videos. But the most confusing thing about Fuji camera is that they have so many options with the same sensors. I have the x100f and I love it. I’ve thought about the XE4 but the XT4 looks tempting too. I’m torn because I have the slightest idea seeing the differences.

[@fredbloggs545]

Easy: Rangefinder style vs DSLR style.

[@joshjspice]

⚡⚡ Watched it twice! Great video and thanks. Lovin that ultra retro small film camera look and lack of buttons of the X-E4. Excited to see the head to head X-E4 / 23 f2 vs X100V / 23 f2 image quality difference. Fwiw, it'd be good to compare the X-E4 / 27 2.8 to the X100V in terms of size.

[@TopshelfJunior]

Righty, tighty. Lefty, loosey. lol.

[@JayGrapherTh]

choosing is just so "hard" - well not for the pro3 for budget reasons but the use case between the X100V and the E4. sorry if i asked ou this before but do you ever use the X100V flash - I assume you can set the power "brightness" of it to light the subject enough but not make it too bright?

[@benjhaisch]

I’ve only used it a couple of times and it’s been fine, nothing great but better to have it than not

[@Xalion100]

How is this video 4k yet looks more like 720p

[@lewgrant6441]

Does the X100V have digital zoom like the X70? If so - does it work while shooting in Raw or Raw+JPEG unlike the X70? 35mm equiv is great, but punching in to 50mm equiv and maybe 80 or 90 without giving up Raw would be great and not being able to is my main hangup with my X70

[@pfom]

It has a digital teleconverter so you can only have two steps up to 50 and 70 mm eq. When you use JPEG+RAW mode the latter contains the 35 mm frame and you need to crop it yourself.
