X-E4vs X100V
GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Compact Street & Travel Photography — X-E4 (2021): The X-E4 is for photographers who want the minimum camera that still delivers maximum image quality. If you love shooting from the rear screen and want the smallest possible X-mount body, this is your camera. If you need a viewfinder or IBIS, look at the X-S20 or X-T30 II.
Street, Travel, Everyday — X100V (2020): The camera that made fixed-lens popular again. Still one of the best walking-around cameras ever made.
