  • The fujifilm X-E4 is one of, if not the best everyday carry cameras out there, and although it has the sane sensor as the X100V, it does have one advantage over its more expensive sibling.

    XE4 paired with the 23mm 1.4 WR is my new daily driver. I know the lens is a bit big but I compare it to my FE35mm 1.8 which is basically same size and almost same weight, It has almost the same DOF but its faster and so much fun to shoot with.

    I looove mine. First of all it's beautiful, everyone thinks it's a film camera. But mostly I wanted the form factor of the x100v but with interchangeable lenses (I love landscape photography and I need more than one lens). I hesitate with a xt30 but I'm a minimal person so the xe4 was the best decision.
    I don't regret my buy, best camera I've ever own (first Fuji too)

    I recently upgraded to the X-E4 after shooting the X-E1 since it’s release, and it’s amazing. Everything I could’ve hoped for. Got the 35mm f/2 WR to add to my X mount collection as well. So great. Takes great selfies too with the 18mm f/2 and the flip around screen :)
    The 18mm f/2 does surprisingly well on low light as well, while being small. Slow autofocus compared to the newer lenses, but you can compensate for that with smart approaches.

    Actually, I think the best budget X100V alternative (as long as you're not doing video) is the XE-3 because you can get it much cheaper than the X-E4, but it's not that much of a resolution loss (24mp vs 26, although it does loose some of the newer features found in the X-E4 and X100V and is more on par with the X100F, which was still a great camera, just the lens wasn't as sharp, but with the X-E3 you can choose what lens you want to use). The other thing is the omission of the hybrid EVF/OVF which some people like.

    Actually, the Fuji layout can make shooting faster, not slower. On most cameras you have to set the mode you want (e.g. shutter priority) THEN set the shutter. On the Fuji you just set the shutter. Same for aperture etc. It's actually more intuitive than thinking about modes.

  • @60400
    @60400 Рік тому +24

    I have both the X-E4 and the x100v and even though I think that the X-E4 is fantastic, they are simply different. The X-E4 doesn’t beat the better EVF of the X100V, doesn’t have an OVF, the digital tele feature, weather sealing, the built-in ND, the super quiet leaf shutter… It’s still great, and you have lenses options, but it’s not really comparable imo. Same package, different user needs.

    • @JustZG
      @JustZG Рік тому +2

      Yeah you're right. And ontop of that the x-e4 with a the 27mm pancake lens simply doesn't do what the x100v can do.
      The 27mm lens is not as good, closest focus distance nowhere near as close as the x100v and on top of that is 2.8 vs F2 (2x more light on the x100v).
      If you stick on the 23mm on the x-e4, the lens and camera overall becomes bulkier and much less pocketable.
      It's not better-- just different.

    I have an X100v.. it has a leaf shutter. The xe4 has a focal plane shutter, like most other interchangeable lens cameras. That aside I wanted a fixed lens camera and I couldn’t afford the Leica Q2. I wouldn’t swap it for the XE4. Although thanks to the X100v I’m now considering moving away from my Canon DSLR to the Fuji XT series.

    Just a correction on 5:30, full frame optical equivalency only affects field of view and the aperture’s practical depth of field. It does not affect the amount of light gathering. So a 27mm F/2.8 on APS-C would actually only look like a full frame 41mm f/4.3 would in terms of field of view and depth of field, but not in terms of “brightness”. In brightness, the exposure of a 27mm F/2.8 would still resemble a 41mm F/2.8.. so you’re only losing low light performance via the inferior sensor performance on APS-C, not optically.

    • @MarcTaraz
      @MarcTaraz  Рік тому

      There’s a reason why the 24mm 1.8 lens on the iPhone 14 pro max looks different than a 24mm 1.8 on apsc and in full frame. Without the context of these things, people who are new to photography don’t understand these concepts, and can be easily tricked by marketing.

    • @savnac
      @savnac Рік тому

      @@MarcTaraz Very true. The differences are in the amount of depth of field, but not in exposure. It’ll still produce the same exposure as the equivalent in full frame. The poor low light performance comes from its significantly smaller sensor size. But you are right. Even if we called it an equivalent F/5.4 (I think that’s the full frame’s equivalent for a one inch sensor’s f/1.8), I’m sure 24mm 5.4 on full frame would still produce more bokeh. There’s definitely some marketing jumbo in there.

    An f/2.8 lens is a 2.8 lens regardless of sensor size. You will not get a brighter exposure in full frame at the same aperture. You can bring up the ISO more on FF though. To me, the perfect lens for my X-E4 is the 18mm f/2 or the Mitakon 35mm f/0.95.

    First off , badass video , I can tell you shoot video , music is insane . Xe4 is a great camera , I owned it for a couple months paired with the 23 f2 . I ended up selling it and grabbing a v (for the 3rd time ) for a couple reasons . I shoot a lot at night and as much as I wanted a compact setup I was basically stuck with the 23 f2 because the 2.8 on the 27 was pushing it for me . The shutter altho sounds great was super loud in not so busy area’s and just started to annoy me . The feel of the camera is great but was better with added thumb grip and hand grip but I hated the extra weight . The xe4 is a better performer then the v imo but ultimately it had to go .

    These comparisons show up all over it seems. The XE4 is a great camera as many Fuji's. But its apples versus oranges in my opinion when it comes to the X100 series. Those have a leaf shutter! with high speed sync flash possibilities. So it can achieve things you not able to do with the XE4. If you never use flash that makes it closer in comparison.
