Fujifilm X-E3

The Fujifilm X-E3 is the lightest and most compact Fujifilm mirrorless camera to carry the 24.3MP X-Trans CMOS III sensor. Its slim, rangefinder-style body and excellent EVF appeal to street and travel photographers who find the X-T series too bulky. The X-E3 added a touchscreen with a swipe interface, Bluetooth for seamless phone pairing, and a joystick control — welcome refinements over the X-E2. 4K is available but capped at 15fps, making it a stills-first camera. A refined, compact tool for image-led photographers.

GearFrame's Take

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.
