The futile quest for the perfect camera setup continues. At the time, I was using the Fujifilm X-T3 as my "main" camera and the X70 as my carry around everywhere camera. It turned out I used the small X70 much more often than the large X-T3. I felt bad having this capable camera and its lenses collect dust instead of getting used to take photos. I also wanted to minimize the things I own. Why have two cameras when I would only ever carry one at a time?
So I thought maybe I just sell both cameras and get the Fujifilm X-E4. With a small pancake lens, it could be my carry around everywhere camera and with a different lens and extra grip, it could be my "proper" camera. In retrospect, it was no surprise that this idea did not work out. It would have, though, almost. The X-E4 was tiny enough for carrying in a pocket, but I have a small bag on me anyway, so that was not the largest problem. I was even able to use it one-handed.
But the camera lacked image stabilization. I thought I could live without it, the other Fujifilm cameras did not have it either. But it is a really useful feature for someone who likes shooting in not so well lit places or after sunset in general. And I made the mistake of trying out the Ricoh GRIII which was a thorough pocket camera with stabilization. Eventually I exchanged the X-E4 for a Fujifilm X-S10, as a proper camera and a Ricoh GRIII as an everyday carry camera. So I was back to having two camera systems again. Exactly what I was trying to avoid in the first place.
Looking back this is the one camera I kind of regret selling. But then having cameras with image stabilizers was simply the better choice for my kind of photography. Otherwise, I would have kept the X-E4. It was a wonderful camera and such a simple, minimalistic design with as few buttons and dials as possible. Many reviewers complained about it, but once I got used to it, I really liked the design philosophy. Ah well, here are some samples.
I used the Fujifilm X-E4 for about a year and took / kept 485 photos.
