Fujifilm X-E4 and Fujifilm X-T30 are Best Mirrorless Cameras for Beginners

Fujifilm has presented some of the most attractive compact mirrorless cameras. The new Fujifilm X-E4 is another fine addition to its typical series. The design is modern retro without anachronism like the Fujifilm X-T30. However, its combination of Fuji sensors and image processing promises some of the prettiest images in its class. The Fujifilm X-T30 and X-E4 have the same sensor and the same fourth-generation X-Trans processor. The FujiFilm X-E4 is just 32.7mm thick, compared to the 46.8mm depth of the X-T30. The X-E4 also has fewer controls than the FujiFilm X-T30. Their standard ISO range is 160-12800, but this can be extended down to ISO 80 and up to ISO 51200. The FujiFilm X-E4 and X-T30’s EVFs are very similar and have a 2.36-million-dot resolution. It is equivalent to 1024 x 768 pixels and 0.62x magnification.

The X-E4’s viewfinder is positioned in rangefinder-style, sitting at the corner. The two cameras’ rear screens are in lockstep with these cameras’ intended audiences. The FujiFilm X-E4’s screen mechanism lets it flip all the way up, above the camera’s top so you can use it as a vlog monitor. The FujiFilm X-T30 has the two-way tilt style screen Fuji has used in several other models. Both cameras have 425 phase-detection AF points, eye and face tracking, and a 3.5mm jack for an external microphone. They have the X-Trans 4 sensor and X-Processor 4 CPU. Burst speeds reach 20fps using the electronic shutter, or 30fps using the 1.25x crop mode. Use the top 8fps mechanical shutter burst mode and the buffer runs out after 90 JPEGs on the X-T30 or 105 shots on the X-E4.

The X-E4 shoots endlessly at 4fps (JPEG), while the X-T30 gives up after 209 frames. The FujiFilm X-E4 can shoot 240p slo-mo at 1080p (an 8x slow-down). But the older X-T30 can only reach 120 frames per second, again at 1080p. Point to be noted that FujiFilm had already developed the 240p video mode for the X-S10. The X-E4 can also shoot for far longer than the X-T30. It can capture 4K, or 1080p for 30 minutes continuously, up from just 10 minutes of 4K in the X-T30, or 15 minutes of 1080p. You can shoot 4K/30p footage with either, but there’s no 4K/60p shooting here. The color depth is 4:2:0 8-bit in-camera or 4:2:2 10-bit over HDMI. The X-T30 and X-E4 both have 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2. Both cameras use the same NP-W1265 battery. Fujifilm X-E4 (body-only) is available at $850 and Fujifilm X-T30 (body-only) at $899.
