Review: Fujifilm X-E3

When the Fujifilm X-E3 was announced, I was both hopeful and optimistic. You see, I wasn't a big fan of the previous iteration: the Fujifilm X-E2s. It was more or less just a Fujifilm X Pro 1 without the OVF option. But with the Fujifilm X-E3 you get a lot of what the Fujifilm X Pro 2 offers without the weather sealing and the OVF. But the cameras share the same 24MP APS-C X Trans sensor, autofocus system (for the most part) 4K video (with firmware updates) and functionality. The biggest differences though come with the ergonomics and how those translate into ease of use. The Fujifilm X-E3 is the first ILC camera in Fujifilm's lineup to really use the touchscreen. I did a video about this feature a while back and even now I find it fairly difficult to use. It isn't the most responsive and it's the absolute best and fastest way to access some settings quickly. For example, the Fujifilm X-E3 doesn't have the X Pro 2's dual ISO and shutter speed dial, and instead you need to assign it to a function button or use the screen.
