Fuji Guys Compare X100F and X-E3, Which One Should You Buy? :: Hack a Wide Angle Converter :: LeicaQ Vs. Fuji X-E3 & More

Fuji Guys X100F Vs. X-E3

The Fuji Guys just published their Fujifilm X-E3 Vs. X100F comparison, and try to give an answer to the question which one suits you better.

I personally struggled with the same question, and at the end decided to go for the X-E3, because I own plenty of Fujinon lenses already, and because the X-E3 had bluetooth (I like to geo-tag my images in travels).

I do not care much about the touch screen, and use it only for the 4 swipe FN functions.

But of course the X100F has its strenghts too, such as the hybrid viewfinder and a feature strangely not mentioned by the Fuji Guys, but that I’d love to have on my X-E3: the combined ISO/Shutter dial.

Other than that, the X100F shines due to the leaf shutter and due to… let’s say… it’s philosophy: carry less (fixed lens), keep it simple, do not stress, go out and shoot.

The final conclusions are made while eating the Fujifilm Film Simulation Noodles, which we reported already 2 weeks ago about.

FUJIFILM USA Currently has No Plans to Sell Brown X-E3 and X100F. Fujifilm X-T100 Brown Color in Asia

Fujifilm Camera Colors

Back in February, we told you that Fujifilm had plans to launch a brown X100F. And indeed, starting from May, the brown Fujifilm X100F started to appear at stores all over the world.

Then, in June, here on FR we also broke the news about the brown Fujifilm X-E3, which today is available in many markets.

Everybody was expecting these two color configurations to sell soon also in USA, especially since they are available in Canada already, but it seems we were wrong.

According to our sources, Fujifilm USA has currently no plans to sell the brown Fujifilm X100F and brown Fujifilm X-E3 in USA.

If those colors will turn out to be very popular, then Fujifilm USA might decide to introduce them to the US market, too. But at this point, Fujifilm USA is not interested.

Fujifilm X-T100 Colors

Wow, I got some very excited emails this morning, telling me that also the Fujifilm X-T100 is now available in dark silver.

But guys, the dark silver X-T100 is available since May 24, 2018, the day the Fujifilm X-T100 was launched. :)

If you missed this and other X-T100 information, you better check back our X-T100 live blogging.

What you can find, though, is the brown X-T100 here, as spotted and shared with us by FR-reader imagei here. The brown X-T100 is only available in Asia, and it remains to see if it will be sold also in Europe and North America.

Overall Asia seems very color friendly, when it comes to offer Fuji cameras in different vests. We reported yesterday that there is a graphite X-A5 in Asia, and it is available in Europe too.

Fujifilm X-E3 in Brown at Listed at Fujifilm Canada

Fujifilm X-E3 Brown

The brown Fujifilm X-E3 has been listed a few days ago at Fujifilm Canada here. Thanks to these images, we can see for the first time how it the backside looks.

In my eyes, the Fujifilm X-E3 looks so good, that it would cut a fine figure in every color. But I still prefer the black or silver versions, though.

Overall the brown colors seems to fit better to the brown X100F.

Huge Deals on Fujifilm X-H1, X-T2, X-Pro2 and X-E3 Coming. Big Sell-Out Before Arrival of Fujifilm X-T3

Fujifilm Deals

Fujifilm is getting ready for the next wave of big deals.

In fact the Polish Fujifilm page here already uploaded the list of gear that will get a huge discount from July 1 to September 30, 2018.

According to the Polish Fujifilm page, you will save between €200 and €300 on the following items:

  • Fujifilm X-H1 body only or with vertical grip
  • Fujifilm X-T2 body only or with XF18-55
  • Fujifilm X-E3 with XF23/2, XF35/2 or XF50/2
  • Fujifilm X-Pro2 with XF23/2, XF35/2 or XF50/2

Of course if Fujifilm Poland launches these deals, we can expect the same deals to be available in many other European countries, too.

And since this is evidently the big sell-out before the arrival of the Fujifilm X-T3 in September, I would not be surprised to see this sale offered also by Fujifilm North America.

But keep in mind one thing: the Fujifilm X-T3 will not have IBIS, so if you want all your (Fujinon or third party) lenses stabilized, then you have to go for the Fujifilm X-H1.

DON’T BE AFRAID to miss the deals. Just follow FR and you can rest assured that I will notify you the very same second that the deals go live via Facebook, RSS-feed and Twitter.
