$(document). ready(function() { SampleGalleryV2({"containerId":"embeddedSampleGallery_0926893302","galleryId":"0926893302","isEmbeddedWidget":true,"selectedImageIndex":0,"isMobile":false}) }); Fujifilm has announced the X-E4, the latest in its line of midrange rangefinder-style mirrorless cameras.

It's built around the same 26MP X-Trans BSI-CMOS sensor as the X-S10 and shares many of that camera's features. The main difference is styling and the X-E4's lack of image stabilization.

The X-E4 is the smallest X-E camera yet and Fujifilm says its been designed to be as flat as possible, to allow it to fit more easily into pockets (presumably without a lens attached). This means there's nothing in the way of a hand grip, though a screw-on hand-grip and Arca-style compatible base plate is available.

As with the X-S10 it has a quad-core 'X-Processor 4' chip at its heart, which provides the same AF performance as the range-topping X-T4. The X-E4 is also capable of shooting DCI or UHD 4K video at up to 30p or continuous stills at up to 30 fps with its electronic shutter and a 1. 25x crop. Full-sensor stills come at up to 20 fps with the electronic shutter or 8 fps in mechanical shutter mode.

The X-E4 also shares its 2. 36M-dot OLED viewfinder with the X-S10, along with similar optics, providing 0. 62X magnification, in full-frame terms. The rear screen is a 1. 63M-dot touchscreen that folds up or down by 180 degrees, allowing selfies or vlogging-style video shooting.

The styling appears to be a blend of previous X-E and X-A cameras but the control system, with dedicated shutter speed and exposure comp dials, along with the primarily metal build, are pure X-E.

The X-E4 will be available from early March at a cost of around $850, body only. A kit with a new weather-resistant 27mm F2. 8 R WR will be available for around $1050.

Press release

Fujifilm Announces New FUJIFILM X-E4 Mirrorless Camera: the most portable mirrorless camera in the X-Series lineup

Valhalla, N. Y. - January 27, 2021 - FUJIFILM North America Corporation is pleased to announce FUJIFILM X-E4 digital camera (X-E4), a new mirrorless rangefinder-style camera in the FUJIFILM X Series lineup.

The lightweight, compact X-E4 features the same 26. 1-megapixel, X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor, 0. 02 sec autofocus, and fantastic color science that can be found in all the professional X Series cameras.

“Outstanding image quality, wide dynamic range, and superb low-light performance combine with simple controls, advanced Face and Eye Detection, and a forward-180° tilting LCD touchscreen to make this camera a joy to use for video or photo,” said Victor Ha, senior director of marketing and product management at FUJIFILM North America Corporation’s Electronic Imaging Division.

Main product features:

X Series’ lightest and smallest camera body

At . 80 lb. (364g) and measuring 4. 77in x 2. 87in x 1. 28in (121. 3mm x 72. 9mm x 32. 7mm), X-E4 is the most compact interchangeable-lens camera in the X Series of digital cameras. The product uses Fujifilm’s 4th generation sensor and processor. To maintain its slim and sleek design, a rear tilting LCD screen has also been carefully designed to ensure the body remains as thin and portable as possible.

The camera’s compact design is influenced by the design of classic film cameras. Both the front and rear grips are flat to give it a classic aesthetic, while the top plate of the camera body is carefully molded from magnesium to provide a polished, elevated finish.

Diverse functions and easy operation

The rear tilting monitor can be flipped upward and forward facing up to180 degrees, which can accommodate a wide variety of compositions, from high to low angle, as well as selfies and vlog-style videos.

The top panel includes a shutter speed dial that can be set manually or switched to Program Mode (P) if fully automatic functionality is required.

Controls have also been concentrated to front-side dials to give extra thumb space for maximum in-hand comfort.

Professional performance

Using Fujifilm’s state-of-the-art 26. 1MP X-TransTM CMOS 4 sensor and the high-speed image processing engine X-Processor 4 to provide incredibly fast autofocus, X-E4 uses phase detection autofocus points across almost 100% of the sensor to acquire focus in as fast as 0. 02 seconds. It is also able to track moving subjects with an advanced AF-tracking algorithm, ensuring that images can be captured when the focus is optimal.

X-E4 also includes Fujifilm’s latest Face and Eye detection technology to track subjects accurately, even in luminance levels as low as -7. 0EV where used with an attached FUJINON XF50mmF1. 0 R WR lens.

Extensive video-recording functions

X-E4 oversamples 6K footage to record 4K/30P 4:2:0 8-bit video to internal media, or 4K/30P 4:2:2 10-bit video via its HDMI port.

The camera can also deliver high-speed, full-HD video at 240fps, which can be used to replay fast-moving subjects up to 10x slower compared to footage recorded at 24fps.

Variety of film simulations

A total of 18 film simulations are available with the X-E4, including Velvia, which is characterized by highly saturated colors and crisp gradation, and ETERNA Bleach Bypass, which reproduces

X-E4 is currently expected to be available in March 2021 at a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $849. 95 USD and $1,050 CDN. The camera will also be available as a kit that includes the FUJINON XF27mmF4 R WR lens at a manufacturer’s retail price of $1049. 95 and $1,300 CDN.
