“Fujifilm’s X-E4 is a no-brainer among rangefinder style APS-C hybrid cameras. I think it’s a more complete and satisfying hybrid than anything in Sony’s current a6 series lineup; it’s so good as a photographer’s camera alone that it’s a warning shot across the bow for Leica’s next generation CL – if and when one comes out.”
Commentary
A Fujifilm X-E4 review loaner may be winging its way to the Unititled.Net studio in the coming days, and I am hoping that Sydney’s current pandemic lockdown will be eased off enough so going out in public and making photographs and videos may be a little more fun than it has been since COVID-19 Delta struck.
I published an article in advance of the Fujifilm X-E4’s release earlier this year as well as Fujifilm Australia’s press release, and am looking forward to giving the X-E4 a good tryout soon.
In order to be well prepared for the camera’s arrival, I am publishing some link and video link articles here at Unititled.Net and I hope they will be of benefit to you too.
I am also considering doing the same for other smaller and more affordable Fujifilm X Series cameras that may be considered competitors for the X-E4, such as the X100V, X-T30 II and the X-S10 so that I have some benchmarks to measure against the X-E4.
The video review above was made by my former Planet 5D co-worker, Hugh Brownstone, whose proximity to B&H in New York as well as the various camera maker branch offices in the same city allows him easy access to a vast range of photography and video production hardware.

- B&H Affiliate Link – FUJIFILM Thumb Rest for X-E4 – Fujifilm’s X-100, X-E and X-Pro series cameras have little to no grip built in to their bodies and so they need metal hand grips, L-brackets, cages, thumb rests aka grips and camera straps added for extra security and comfort. Fujifilm makes its own metal hand grip and thumb grip but alternatives are also available from third party makers.

It may also be available on the secondhand market.
