X-E3 Body (Black) + XF 35mm f/1.4 R Lens
Mirrorless Digital Camera Kit
A stylish and versatile rangefinder mirrorless digital camera, the X-E3 from Fujifilm features an updated sensor and processor inside a familiar body. It uses a 24.3MP APS-C X-Trans CMOS III sensor that has omitted an optical low-pass filter, and an X-Processor Pro image processor to capture sharp, high-resolution images. In comparison to conventional pixel patterns, the X-Trans design more closely mimics the organic nature of film in order to produce nuanced colours and smooth tonal transitions, while also reducing moiré and aliasing.
Together this impressive sensor and processor combination also provides a continuous shooting rate up to 14 fps, an extended sensitivity range to ISO 51200, and the ability to record UHD 4K/30 video or Full HD 1080p/60 video. When recording images or video, Film Simulation modes can be used to creatively enhance your footage. Video can also be output via HDMI to an external recorder or monitor, and a mic jack is featured for working with an external microphone.
Benefitting these features, optimised continuous autofocus performance provides improved subject tracking and focusing accuracy. Using both contrast- and phase-detection methods, the hybrid autofocus system features 91 total points, which can be divided into 325 total areas. Approximately 50% side-to-side and 75% top-to-bottom of the frame is covered by phase-detection points. A dedicated Focus Lever provides faster, more intuitive control over selecting specific focus points while shooting.
The camera is finished with the same classic physical design of its predecessor, with physical shutter speed and exposure compensation dials. This physical exposure compensation dial now features a C position to allow an expanded compensation range when working with the control dials. Compose your images using the high-resolution 2.36m-dot electronic viewfinder or 3.0" 1.04m-dot rear touchscreen LCD that also offers focus point selection and menu navigation. Built-in WiFi with Bluetooth connectivity is also included for low-power image transferring and remote camera control from a linked mobile device.
Here the X-E3 is kitted with the XF 35mm f/1.4 R lens from Fujifilm. Designed for use with the Fujifilm X-series of interchangeable lens cameras with APS-C sensors, it will provide a 35mm equivalent focal length of 53mm. This standard-length focal length is combined with a fast maximum aperture of f/1.4, making it a versatile lens well-suited to working in low light conditions and with shallow depth of field techniques. Its 7-blade aperture creates pleasing out of focus 'bokeh' areas, ideal for portraiture.
Optically aspheric and ED elements work together to reduce field curvature and chromatic aberrations, and Super EBC coating further improves centre-to-edge resolution. To take advantage of the X-series cameras' mirrorless design, the rear element of the lens sits as close as possible to the sensor, noticeably minimising the back focus distance. This lens has a maximum magnification of 0.17x, and the aperture ring has 1/3-stop click stops for more precise exposures.
