DPRTV: Fujifilm X-E4 – ILC X100?

DPRTV released its full Fujifilm X-E4 review after releasing its COVID first impressions here.

Very similar to the X-S10, but the X-S10 is designed as a DSLR replacement
X-E4 is about minimalist thinking
Light plastic fees and not weather sealed
Aftermarket thumb grips and grips make the camera feel better
Might be a step too far for minimalism
X-E4 should have a back control dial because just having a front dial is confusing/distracting
More customizable controls would be nice
AF selector is missed here
Some might want to stick with an X-T30, but it doesn’t have the latest AF
X-E4 focuses like an X-T4
Not quite up to Sony’s AF system
Nice rear screen and EVF
The nose can hit the screen and move the AF point
Not a lot of eye relief so can be a little cramped
Decent touch screen interface
Good for family stuff and street photography
30-70 shots to fill the buffer depending on the mode you use which gives you 1-5 second of shooting before filling the buffer
Only one UHS-I card slot
Same excellent 26MP sensor that is in other cameras with a fast read out speed
Missing nostaligic neg mode
Pretty impressive for video 4k30p and 1080 240p, but only log 8-bit
Can get 10-bit on an external recorder
Very light 380g
Basically the same size/weight as an X100 with the XF27mm
Once you start adding options the X-S10 comes into reach and might be a better value
