About the Product

The X-E2's brilliant shutter speed is achieved by more than doubling the processing speed of the EXR Processor II. It is able to harness the information taken from over 100,000 phase detection pixels incorporated in the X-Trans CMOS II. The hybrid AF also combines phase detection AF and contrast AF to ensure accuracy when shooting low-contrast subjects and dark scenes.

The Fujifilm X-E2S has a durable, compact and lightweight body with a Real-Time Viewfinder that offers a large display magnification of 0.62x and an electronic viewfinder with the world's shortest display time lag of 0.005 seconds.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Fujifilm X-E2 Mirrorless Camera

This is a fantastic camera in a compact package.
It's compact, takes beautiful photos.
The size of the frame is nice and compact.
The build quality is really good and great size.
Great compact camera which comes as good as a nice DSLR with smaller size, lighter weight and great picture quality.

Fujifilm X-E2S Compact System Camera

I wanted to try a system that is much lighter, pocketable, but matches SLR quality in both camera & lenses. And in this cell all this is.
I am impressed with its quality, the extent of its features and with its portability.
I bought it and have put it through its paces on two trips to China where I do a fair bit of street photography and studio work while traveling on business. It's compact and good camera.
Like most people, I've transitioned from a DSLR to mirrorless for size & weight considerations. And now I carry a single small Crumpler camera bag with the Fuji X-E2S.
It is a perfect size. It looks great. I like the size of XE2s, the weight, and the way it’s made.

What customers say about "Imaging"

Fujifilm X-E2 Mirrorless Camera

The image quality is pretty nice even at high ISO.
The quality of the images, ease of use, and feature set are a great value for the cost of this camera.
Great design. Great image quality.
The image quality is superb with the sharpest images I've ever seen even in RAW!
Image quality is impressive! Amazing camera.

Fujifilm X-E2S Compact System Camera

The pictures I have taken so far are great with no noise at 1600 iso.
Excellent low light performance and this is simply a beautiful machine, small, light and does what it is made to do.
Changing the ISO does require that I go to the menus, but I'm going to experiment with customizing the function buttons to try to streamline that process.
You can’t shoot RAF files while using the extended ISO speeds, where I would think you’d most want to shoot RAW.
The continuous AF is horrific - at least on the 27mm 2.8 pancake. This camera will consistently "pulse" the AF back and forth around a subject instead of "locking on".

What customers say about "Display"

Fujifilm X-E2 Mirrorless Camera

The LCD screen is really nice.
The grip was comfortable for me. And has amazing display.
The screen is sharp and the EVF is clear.
The LCD screen on the back of the Fuji is bright, sharp, and easy to see in all light conditions.
The lack of a tiltable screen.

Fujifilm X-E2S Compact System Camera

I like being able to review photos and access the menus through a viewfinder adjusted to my eyesight.
I like being shoot video while using the viewfinder, especially in bright sunlight when I can barely see the rear screen.
The resolution is amazing no worse than on my laptop, my eyes do not get tired to look constantly at the screen.
It is annoying how my face smudges the screen when i use the viewfinder. Jostling around inside my manbag sometimes turns the camera on.
The screen can not be seen in daylight. Annoying very much.

What customers say about "Features"

Fujifilm X-E2 Mirrorless Camera

Superb image quality and great analog controls.
X-E2 produces excellent image quality.
Amazing camera. The image quality is excellent for the price point.
I have certainly been enjoying using this camera, which is very full featured and well-built.
Great image quality. Good autofocus performance.

Fujifilm X-E2S Compact System Camera

In manual mode the controls are easy to use and I don't have to take my eye away from the EVF to quickly adjust shutter speed and aperture to get the results I want.
The panorama shooting mode has also been fun to play around with. The mode works amazingly and without any delay.
Although I still tend to shoot in manual mode, I have experienced some with the "scene" modes that the X-E2S offers, as well as the film simulations. All modes show good performance.
This camera take very sharp picture, quick focus and awesome " fully auto" mode. Nice video camera too with built in stabilization and IOS on the kit lens.
The only thing that has tripped me up a few times is the electronic shutter. I go back and forth shooting with a flash and I keep forgetting you can't use the electronic shutter and shoot with a flash.

What customers say about "Connectivity"

Fujifilm X-E2 Mirrorless Camera

Good use of physical dials and buttons. Great connectivity.
The connector cover (HDMI, USB, and remote/mic) and battery/SD card door feel nice and sturdy.
It is quite nice to have the ability to transfer files wirelessly.
Wi-Fi software and apps need more polish.
The WiFi function to transfer photos to my PC is extremely complicated.

Fujifilm X-E2S Compact System Camera

The connector cover (HDMI, USB, and remote/mic) and battery/SD card door feel nice and sturdy too.
You are supposed to connect the camera wirelessly to your laptop, etc to transfer your photos.
Wifi connectivity is a feature I use more than I thought I would; really a feature that makes the camera an extension of your iPhone.
I'm very frustrated that the camera does not support in-camera battery charging via USB.
One thing I do not like about this product is that they do not include a USB cable to transfer your pictures to another device.
