Fujifilm X-E X-E4 Black 2020
Packing the same 26.1MP APS-C X-Trans BSI CMOS sensor and X-Processor 4 as Fujifilm's flagship models, the X-E4 delivers 4K/30p video, 30fps electronic bursts, and a hybrid AF system with 425 phase-detection points in a 364g rangefinder body. Its 3.0" 180° tilting touchscreen and built-in Film Simulation modes provide a distinct, straight-out-of-camera aesthetic without heavy post-processing. This camera is best for streamers and YouTubers who need a compact 4K-capable camera with reliable face and eye detection for solo shooting setups.
