Verdict

The Fujifilm X-E2 gets plenty right. Although, ultimately, it’s a subtle upgrade compared to its predecessor. If you’re after a CSC that’s all about image quality then look little further. We also love the hands-on layout of the build, and both retro style and retro approach to taking pictures thanks to physical aperture dials on the XF lenses. That £799 body-only price point might seem like a lot of money, because it is, but there’s a physical quality here that can be seen from a mile away. On the downsides battery life remains the same so-so performer of its predecessor, the so-called improved autofocus might be faster but isn’t consistently accurate, while there could be more lenses available in the XF range to further widen appeal. But the available lens options – from primes to more „consumer“ zoom lenses – is slowly growing and the quality is great. If you’re an action photographer then don’t kid yourself, this camera won’t be suitable. But if you’re after a camera that successfully marries the old school of thought with the new in a visually striking package then there’s a lot to love in the Fujifilm X-E2.
