X-E3vs FunSaver 800
GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Street & Travel — X-E3 (2017): The X-E3 is the lightest Fujifilm interchangeable-lens camera with the 24.3MP X-Trans III sensor. Its slim, compact body appeals to street photographers who find the X-T line too bulky. The touchscreen joystick and Bluetooth connection are welcome additions. 4K is technically available but limited to 15fps — this is a stills-first camera. An excellent compact travel camera at used-market prices.
Parties, Festivals & Holidays — FunSaver 800: The original fun camera. Kodak 800 film gives warm, punchy colours with pleasing grain — especially with flash. Perfect for events and holidays.
