Neocamera detailed reviewFuji X-E3 Assessment
The Fuji X-E3 takes the X-T20 pipeline and places it in a minimalist rangefinder body. With the a proven 24 MP X-Trans CMOS III APS-C sensor with built-in Phase-Detect AF and X-Processor Pro in a compact form-factor, the X-E3 present a leap over the X-E2 that precedes it.
The X-E3 delivers top-notch image-quality for an APS-C sensor. Image noise is very low throughout the range with slightly strong noise-reduction engine cleaning up noise while reducing details from ISO 3200. Color rendition, white-balance and contrast are all very natural while metering is quite reliable.
This mirrorless is very fast and its 325-Point autofocus system is performs very well, only slowing down in low-light while maintaining a high level of accuracy. The redesigned rangefinder style body takes the unique approach of replacing the traditional 4-way controller with an 8-way joystick to deliver a highly efficient digital camera in an exceptionally compact body. The X-E3 is well-built yet not weatherproof.
There are two shortcomings of the X-E3. One is its well-specified 2.4 MP 0.39" EVF with Eye-Start Sensor and 0.62X magnification which simply struggles giving an accurate preview. The other is a very short battery-life which can easily be overcome with the purchase of several extra batteries.
The Fuji X-E3 delivers a superb combination of image-quality, speed and ergonomics in a compact design which works almost impeccably.
