Review on Fujifilm X-E3 Mirrorless Digital Camera with XF18-55mm Lens Kit - Silver by Carlos Nolan

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Just understand.

This is Fujifilm's most advanced APS-C camera at the time of writing this review. Of course, the X-T2 and X-Pro2 have some professional features that are not present here (weather protection, dual card slots, etc.). I also have X-T2 and X100F. It's a shame that I only managed to do it with the X100F. In fact, this is a slightly more compact chassis than the X100F. Add an XF27mm lens and you have a great outdoor machine with the same convenience in your pocket. But you're not tied to just one lens. The Fujifilm iOS app is terrible. Seriously, Google reviews of how long it takes to transfer images over WiFi on other modern Fuji bodies. And yet the X-E3 is somehow relatively quick on the same operations. I'm not sure, but maybe Bluetooth has something to do with the improvement. The X-E3 is currently the only camera in the Fuji X series with Bluetooth. This is also useful in other ways, e.g. B. to set the correct date and time and to geotag your photos as you take them. I also have an old X-E1. Same size, completely different camera. I won't insult the X-E3 with a comparison. That's worlds better than his grandparents. Fuji has learned a lot about making the best cameras in recent years. The joystick is probably my favorite feature of this generation. I use it to select a focus point and, if I want, a metering point. I'm not thrilled with the touchscreen. I understand the experiment here. I hope Fuji doesn't go down this path with other cameras in the future. I really prefer tactile controls. If you are thinking about this camera at all, just get it. That's great. I love it.
