presence of moire while shooting videos
the camera to lag on the focussing front
does not take long to lock on to the focus in the continuous AF mode
chroma noise in the images
sharpness deteriorating
Q button is now a little harder to reach
lacks in video prowess it more than makes up in its photographic chops
was a little slow for our low light testing
X-E2 may not be the best bet
pre-AF caused the focus to jump around
on the X-E2 have played a little game of musical chairs
Exposure is set on the first frame
slightly sluggish auto-focusing and generally
Canon has just tumbled and crashed into a cloud of dust and smashed shrapnel
poor migrant class in China
fuji x-e2 is lagging behind in the autofocus department
landscape shooting was inadvisable for this system
touch sensitive screen or not

only panasonic and Olympus in the game of M43 sensors
wobbly sensor will muck up the noise above

kit lenses are hit or miss
autofocus performance I wanted
flash button predictably pops open the flash
makes doing wide-angle an expensive proposition
DSLR or pocket point and shoot
Expensive
limited to image transfers and a rather clumsy geo-tagging function
Continuous-shooting performance is a bit trickier
inability to set a minimum shutter speed when in aperture-priority mode
split-image focusing in film cameras
popup flash can be tilted back for bouncing
can't control ISO or shutter speed in movie mode
Shutter-Speed and EC dials
Allows external flash units to be attached
slows down a little in low-light
Reaches shutter-speeds longer than 4 seconds
reviewDiscontinued: No longer produced by the manufacturer
Noise creeps in pretty early
in-camera JPEG processing had crushed the detail in darkness
more expensive than upstart Samsung tends to charge
unintuitive and unnecessarily complex controls
the camera blackens out detail in the darker parts of images
fuji clearly have a glitch per se
on images taken beyond ISO 3200 the skin tones look unacceptably waxy
it is not wireless)
mirrorless cameras are too small for big european hands
Sounds like a streak of really bad luck
shooting with expanded ISO settings is only possible in JPEG format
vintage looks has already becoming a thing
X-E2 did a horrendous job
pixel binning does a bad job at making sharp video
JPEG color modes are wildly varied
you still have to press the down button in order to bring up the AF selection screen
The faux leather wrap is a little bit slippery
lacks a viewfinder
can't be accessed when the camera is tripod mounted
the only one of the three not to include an articulated screen
no need for a mode dial
Wi-Fi functionality stops
There s no remote control or editing options
a yellow-blooming tree with a blue-sky background
that missing mode dial
s a slightly raised grip on the right side
It s difficult to measure things like that
WiFi feature could be better
image quality then look little further
AF point is no longer locked to the centre of the frame
small-ish camera inevitably means a smaller battery
Playback and Software Nothing much has changed in either area
the camera will only be sold with this lens
slight loss of colour saturation and blocking up of shadows could
not a touch-screen and it doesn't tilt
unable to test performance with an external microphone
dropped the optical low pass filter
image sharpness suffers as a result as well
X-E2 and its predecessor
autofocus is now faster
only a single shooting adjustment dial
video mode on the X-E2 is still not good
the SD memory card cannot be accessed when the camera is on a tripod
The camera is quite large and heavy and the lens is
Canon EOS R5 Camera Have an Overheating
black edges/margins on the side
Telephoto Lens MISTAKES that Spoil Travel
removing a memory card is still painful when using a tripod plate
X-E2 is not a weather-proof camera
flash is only meant to be used occasionally
Fuji straps are very uncomfortable and they do irritate bare skin quite
there is no camera mode switch
lack of a dedicated video recording button
DSLRs still have a lot of value
the screen is fixed and it also isn't a touchscreen
camera's autofocus is also really abysmal while shooting video
the latter only has an electronic viewfinder
a 16MP APS-C CMOS sensor
tends to be less intimidating to folks on the street
lack of a mode dial
pop-up flash
but it also lacked an EVF
only one side of the coin
lacks a low-pass filter
the autofocus can hunt at times
the camera is only manual
poor autofocus system
Tracking is weak on the Fujifilm system
DSLR shooters are often unaccustomed to unless purchasing premium glass
focus-by-wire notably
it is large and heavy
too big and the switching EVF was frustrating)
The red in the portrait shot is very saturated
field cannot be empty
Fujifilm X-E2 shows poor video quality
X-E2 could actually take the place of my second tier camera system
the Fujifilm X-E2 have Touch Screen
Fujifilm X-E2 have Image Stabilization
Does the Fujifilm X-E2 have Weather Sealing
it doesn't have a headphone port though
X-E2 doesn't have a Selfie friendly screen
not quite as quick or convenient as the tap-to-focus functionality
its autofocus system is a little slow compared
X-Trans CMOS image sensor
app doesn't seem to keep a log of movements
Completely missing as a Wi-Fi option is wireless remote control
no built-in ND filter
the zoom is quite voluminous and heavy
X-E2 does without a GPS receiver
shabby plastic and work somewhat spongy
this does not apply to the buttons on the back of the camera
LMO only works within the camera for JPEG recordings
no apparently shot-to-shot lag
limited +/-1 bracketing
a little noise can creep in
misaligned seams and some other small niggles
X Pro2 will be at a higher price point
there's no cable supplied in the box
Image quality has not been neglected either
image size
screen size
the cries for a tilt screen were ignored
Image Quality might therefore not be final
lack of touch screen
away superfluous features and simplifying the UX
inconsistent mixture of mechanical and electronic controls

The X-E2 is the mid-range model in Fujifilm's X system of mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras, sitting between the relatively affordable X-M1 and X-A1 twins, and the unashamedly high-end X-Pro1 and X-T1. It's an update of the X-E1, which we liked a lot for its combination of 'old school' handling and excellent image quality, giving it our Gold award in our review.
