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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

Amazingly detailed comparison. I like the minimalist approach for a back-up or pocketable camera (with the 27mm or 24 mm lens cap). 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.

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.

My X-E3 is my photo-buddy. With the 27mm lens it follows me everywhere. For the kind of photography I do with my X-E3, the X-e4 offers me nothing but a very slightly increased number of megapixels. I'm afraid I would miss all the buttons and knobs. I'm staying with my X-E3.

Nice videos with detailed, clear explanation and comparison. Really nice experience and comfortable to listen to your voice. As i think that the x-e4 removes one dial on the back, some setting might have to access from the screen. I am just wondering, for the several quick swipe setting, is the x-e4 touch screen responsive enough? Or the customisable buttons are enough for most of the controls? Thanks a lot.

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 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?

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.
