X-E3 Body (Black) + XF 23mm f/2 R WR Lens (Black)
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 black XF 23mm f/2 R WR Lens from Fujifilm, a fast, compact and weather resistant wide-angle prime. Optimised for use with X-series mirrorless cameras using APS-C sensors, it offers a versatile 35mm equivalent perspective, ideal in a variety of shooting situations and favoured for street photography. This is complimented by a fast maximum aperture of f/2 that makes it possible to work in difficult lighting conditions and with shallow depth of field for selective focus techniques.
Optically the 10-element-in-6-group design includes two aspherical elements to control distortions and aberrations to produce clear, sharp imagery. A Super Electron Beam Coating coating has also been applied to minimise flare and ghosting. A rounded 9-blade diaphragm produces smooth and pleasing out of focus 'bokeh' areas.
Focusing is fast, accurate and near-silent thanks to an internal focusing stepping motor AF system which can achieve focus in as little as 0.05 seconds. Weather seals are placed about the lens barrel to protect against dust, moisture, and temperatures as low as -10°C.
