Fujifilm X-E4 Review | The Perfect Everyday Camera

[@pavloslee4694]

I saw all reviews from all big channels. This one is the BEST one by far. And yes, I do not leave comments, but it was worth the effort for this one. Keep it up!!

[@michaelsheakley2660]

Was thinking the exact same thing. Everything I'm looking for in a review of this camera I got from this awesome video. 👌 Superb content!

[@andersonsousa1554]

This an elegant review, from someone who really comprehends the spirit and the idea behind Fujifilm xe-4 and its rescue of old-school photography, when there weren't these many resources that make a bulky camera. I have abandoned photography for a couple of years, but I am really passionate about it, and I will definitely go for the XE-4, as soon as I get to the US. Thank you so much, Bianca.

[@FredRanger]

Great review Bianca! Concise and to the point. Keep up the good work!

[@krolldavid]

Thanks for the video. Love your lighting setup and background!

[@Grazandbeyond]

Best review for this camera out there. Your videos convinced me to order the X-E4 as my new travel photography camera after watching hours and hours of unrelatable, boring reviews. Just want to thank you for the great work you put in your videos and a big thumbs up for your photography as well!! 🙂

[@mettacitta2000]

You have a wonderfully engaging way of presenting and are hugely informative. Subscribed!

[@nerwin]

Excellent review, I really like the XE4, I almost bought it over the X100V but the new 23mm f2, weather sealing and built in ND filter sort of won me over but if I didn't have an XT4 as my primary camera then the XE4 would've been a great choice. I know quite a few people complain about the minimal design, I think Fujifilm did a great job with it. I think it really helps with having fun taking photos again without 500 buttons haha. I really enjoy you're videos Bianca, very inspiring. Looking forward to more!

[@adrian-qr6zk]

I thought the XE4 didn't have weather sealing...

[@dammitjim9131]

Wow! Really great review. Informative, relaxing (both your voice, music, look of the whole video), and entertaining (love the photos and videos). Thanks! I'm so close to pulling the trigger on the X-E4. It's btn that and the Canon M200 (love the M200 mostly for the small size and image quality).

[@AkaTamimi]

Great video I have it for a month or so now and I can tell u its with me every day i go. So powerful yet compact and discreet and fun to use

[@BiancaMikaehla]

Exactly!! I love it's power and form factor. Thank you!! 😊

[@swepeuaq]

Everything about this camera makes me think it would be ideal for casual everyday shooting. It offers the opportunity to play around and find your preferred style before upgrading. Thanks for the review.

[@ulfgreger]

Great video. I'm looking for a X-E4 used and this helped me belive its a camera for me. Im starting making KZbin videos myself and the video on X-E4 should be more than enough

[@bartoszpajak2285]

Great review! I ordered mine today together with the 27mm pancake and a 56mm from Sigma (I’m shooting stills only, mostly street) as an small, portable addition to my Canon full frame bricks and it should be delivered in two days. Canons M-System didn’t really convince me. Thanks to your review I feel I made the right decision.

[@allenschneider1847]

Sounds great, I just wish they had kept the focus dial on the front and included a grip. A drive dial on the top left would have been nice too. Thanks for the helpful review.

[@FrankieSousa]

Just found your channel and subbed! Greetings from England 😀 I’m currently rocking the x100f. Would love a similar camera with interchangeable lenses. XE4 sounds like a great option but with camera companies, soon as you buy one the next iteration hits the market 😠

[@leanmachine1744]

I got mine with the 27mm..love carrying it everywhere to shoot anything..so fun.My dslr sitting at home and only for pro work.

[@IreMarcGomez]

GREAT REVIEW! this video made me choose XE-4 over the XS-10.

[@babyboy1971]

Awesome review ! I’d love to pick your brain on the following… I’m having a hard time with deciding on a new Fuji body, struggling with GAS, but also feeling like I want a new and/or third body. Right now I’m shooting on an XT3 and an X100V. Love both. I shoot studio portraits and headshots, personal branding photos and the occasional family session. I used to shoot engagements and weddings, but now it’s almost entirely portrait work. I have fallen in love with the rangefinder style of the X100V, and I am eyeing the XPRO 3 and XE4. I’m having a hard time deciding if I should sell my XT3, and get an XPRO 3, keep the XT3 and get an XE4, or just wait and save for the XPRO3 and have three cameras (XT3, XPRO & X100). I’ve also considered the XT4, but I don’t do video, don’t care about IBIS and I just don’t see the upgrade. I like to work very minimalist, and I only have a handful of lenses. I would love your thoughts as to what you would do in my shoes. I think I’m also feeling kind of burnt out and bored and there’s something about the x100 that just makes me want to shoot more, which is why I’m leaning towards the rangefinder minimalism found in the XE4 and XPRO series. I want the camera to get out of my way, and my work is about connection, simplicity and closeness. Even in the studio, I keep one eye open. I am finding myself shooting in studio with the X100! Would you sell the XT3 and get the XPRO, keep it and go XE4, or just wait and save and get the XPRO as a third? I think there is some piece of me that’s just scared of going entirely rangefinder, considering I’m doing studio for portraits… But maybe that’s just a simple learning curve. And if I sell my XT3 I could probably afford to get another lens, although I’m pretty happy with my combination of 23, 35 and 56. If the focus on the XE4 is as good as the XT3, or better, I’m in. Is it really that fast? Is the XE4 comparable to XT3 in terms of IQ and speed?

[@torb-no]

Great review! I'm considering getting one for similar reasons, to have a super compact EDC. I might wait until the used prices come down though, they are a bit crazy at the moment. Another lens to consider pairing with this is the Voigtlander 27mm f2 Ultron. It being manual focus means that you can have that f2 aperture in the same size as the Fuji's own XF27mm f2.8! Anyhoo, thanks for making the video!

[@ROVERRAAJ]

Well explained and brilliantly shot video😁

[@rogersriveropadilla253]

Loved the Video! Keep it up!

[@mikelizard2008]

Good review. I have it… and supports from 27mm to 16-80mm with original grip and both always with thumb rest.

Lovely review! 😍

[@vincentv998]

Beautiful review! You have this calm yet enthusiastic radiation and I like that you're taking your time for every seperate aspect :) I have a GH5 bought specifically with video purpose in mind, but how I learned to love doing street photography as well, for which it is a bit less suitable maybe... I was looking for a full sensor (Nikon z5 perhaps) camera for shooting photography first, but after I stumbled upon the XE4, I might go in that direction. Do you think it would be a good addition to the GH5?

[@georgechen1124]

Nice review Bianca! Try mount it on Ulanzi MT-16 tripod (better with Ulanzi Falcom F38 for speed deployment). Man! You get the world's lightest/cutest/sweetest vlogger machine!!!

[@joshuachubbphotography]

[@paintingphotographs]

[@ShaunakDe]

Thanks for the review. It was really informative! How does this compare size wise to the X-S10. I'm looking for a discrete and compact camera for street! Would be curious to hear which one you prefer for that!

[@MrOoschoi]

Soooo Nice review!!! thank you very much :)

[@camloff]

Lisbon. Nice work, go on, Bianca.

[@brandonbigler4033]

Love the video and only have one question which is where did you get the shutter button add-on aka the red button you have on the camera?

[@JustinEspejo]

Hey Bianca!!!! This was really good! I just recently got steered to the fuji world and the xe4 is one of the cams I’ve been saving in my moodboards! Haha!

[@JustinEspejo]

Altho I’m lusting over the xpro series bec of the OVF, but this video is making a strooong case for the xe4. HALP. 😂

[@BiancaMikaehla]

Hey Justin!! Thank you!! I’m glad you enjoyed the vid! And also, welcome to the world of Fuji! Hahahaha. I find this funny because I find myself looking at Sony cameras often now. Hahaha. In your case though, maybe try looking into the X100V?? It has a hybrid viewfinder where you can switch between optical and digital. Also, since you already have a great lineup of Sony glass, having a fixed 23mm focal length should reduce the stress of buying Fuji glass as well. 😅 considering your skill in street photography, the 23mm should be flexible enough fit your needs. ☺️ But it’s also tough because the new Fuji lenses are also so freaking good 😂

[@JustinEspejo]

@@BiancaMikaehla its funny you mention that, i got the original x100 actually AND I LOVE IT. 😂

[@jan9105]

The XE4 is such a beauty. Should have been my first Fuji. But I can‘t decide between XE4 and XT3 🤯

[@liamhardman875]

Great video! I currently use the X-E3 for my shoots and KZbin videos, and I find that still holds up well. Have you tried any of the higher end fuji cameras like the X-Pro series, or the X-T series? I wonder if that would be a better upgrade in theory for folks like me :)

[@starsongmaiden7172]

Finally, a review by a woman!!! Not to hate on the male reviewers, but it’s so helpful to get a woman’s perspective and see the camera in a woman’s hands, etc. Especially with exceptionally well thought out & thorough info! 😻 Not sure why KZbin isn’t listing this video higher in the results list, since you have a ton of subscribers and stellar content 🤷🏻‍♀️. Stupid algorithms… seems to be the case for every one of the handful of female reviewers I’ve managed to find for the cameras I’ve been researching. Not ok, yt 👎🏼👎🏼

[@tanjimbashar]

You shoud increase the bitrate of video when rendering. Also, render in 4K for better result in youtube even if you shoot 1080p.

[@The_TechTuber]

Hey...I like your videos very much. Very informative. I'm a beginner in photography and I really like to do street photography . But I really don't know much about cameras. But I have shortlisted 2 cameras, the X-E4 and the X-T30 ii. I'll be buying them used so which one would you recommend? I don't do videos so I won't use that feature. And also confused as what lense to buy for street/architecture photography.

[@BiancaMikaehla]

Thank you! You're too kind. 😄 I've never used the X-T30ii so I can't really say, but having used the X-E4 for a while now, I can say that it's pretty much perfect for street photography, especially when paired with the pancake lens. The only probably I can possibly see is its size. It's very small and has no grip, so if that seems like a problem and you don't see yourself buying 3rd party grips/attachments, maybe go for the X-T30ii for the bigger body. In terms of street photography, the 27mm pancake is perfect because of the focal length and size but for architecture, it might be a little too tight, so maybe the 23mm for a wider focal range?

Hey Bianca, I've got an XE2. I know the XE4 has a bigger sensor and faster processor but the 2 would appear to have better ergonomics and more function buttons/focus selector. I don't know if you have ever used and XE2 or XE3, if so ,in your opinion is the trade off worth it for the XE4?

[@LassiiR]

All of the XE cameras have the same (aps-c) sized sensors. I would stick to the XE2 :)

[@micahcarrier4030]

Which camera for portraits? Xe4 or Xs10? I’ve been stuck between the two. I love the dslr style of the xs10 but this xe4 is sexy.

[@BiancaMikaehla]

Hmmmm. Both are great but if you're leaning towards photography a little more and like the design, then the X-E4. 😊

[@elinavance3476]

for landscapes without tripod and video I would pick the xs-10, for portraits you normally shoot with a faster shutter speed, so the ibis of the xs-10 is not needed. the battery life of the xe-4 is a little bit better and it looks a lot better imo. one of the biggest differences is the viewfinder placement, and screen articulation of both cameras! (aswell as handling, bigger lenses feel better on the xs-10!)

[@jd8484]

You madam are a marvel. Perfect review!

[@worldtravellerswindow4428]

Nice video

[@troytinsley148]

I'm leaning toward the XS10 because the XE doesn't have aperture priority. What are your thoughts?

[@patrickcoggins6279]

The x-e4 doesn’t have a PASM drive dial but you can still shoot in Aperture priority by keeping the ISO and shutter spread on ‘A’ (auto) and manually choosing the aperture you want using the ring on the lens

[@troytinsley148]

@@patrickcoggins6279 Thanks! But what if I have a 27 mm with no aperture dial?

[@patrickcoggins6279]

@@troytinsley148No probs. The newer version of the 27mm lens has an aperture ring, but even if you don’t, you can use the front control ring to adjust aperture. The XS10 looks to be a nice camera though so if you want the grip and traditional mode dial, it may be a good choice. I think Maarten Heilbron gives a good overview of the differences between the two cameras that may help your decision, so check out his video too.

Could you add a mic to it for recording

[@BiancaMikaehla]

Yup!

[@rajeshjantilal9023]

XE4 or 100v???

[@saiduttchakka]

Hi. I am really confused between buying xE4 and XT3. If needed I can go for that extra bit of cost. My pupose is simple everyday photography for capturing my daughter and capturing family moments and landscapes when on vacations. I like E4 small factor but what really pulling me towards XT3 are the dials. And only thing stopping from going to XT3 is it's already 3year old. Please need help to choose

[@zed351]

Why do you believe that you need additional dials for your everyday photography?

[@tallguyphoto1565]

Why do people believe they need pro cameras for family photos. Most pros don’t use have the features on there cameras.

[@venom2k2]

How did you decide? If I were you I would get the xt3 because it has weather sealing and dual sd card slots. Doesnt matter if that camera is a few years old. It is still extremely capable and good.

[@MinimalWave1982]

the red button comes with the camera?

[@Nadeemkhalid07]

Lack of IBIS will surely produce not so sharp images because of hand shakes and in low light..

[@eyespolaroid2089]

Dear Bianca, In your opinion, how will you judge the default 27mm lens of X-E4 for landscape photography? Also, does X-E4 has an inbuilt ND filter?

[@BiancaMikaehla]

The 27mm is too tight a focal range for landscapes. And no, the X-E4 doesn't have a built in ND-filter. 😊

[@WorldView22]

Your video was underexposed. It works well for people and interior spaces creating a nice warm atmosphere but the product itself needs plenty of light. :-)
