Fujifilm X-E3 review
It’d be easy to dismiss the X-E3 as just another also-ran, when you consider how good the rest of the X series is. In this respect, Fuji is pretty much a victim of its own success. The X-E3 is basically a pared down version of the X-Pro2, which is great news if you want something similar, but don’t have a budget that stretches upwards of £1400. Naturally, there are some small compromises to be made – the lack of a moveable screen is a big one, while the X-E3 feels pretty unbalanced with larger lenses. But if you’re looking for something to shoot street or documentary shots, or just want a capable ‘everyday’ shooter to walk around with, it’s a real cracker. You probably won’t want to use it for sports or action stuff, but the fact that it’s still capable in those situations is a big bonus. Overall, the X-E3 is a very tempting proposition. It might be pricier than lots of other rival compact system cameras, but it’s also more affordable than the premium end of Fuji’s X Series offerings. If you prefer its rangefinder styling to the more DSLR-inspired X-T20, it might just be the CSC for you.
Small and lightweight; Great autofocus ; Cracking image quality;
Screen is fixed rather than tilt-able; Can feel a bit imbalanced with larger lenses;
