The Fujifilm X-E4 is now in stock at BHphoto. You can get the silver body only version here and the black body only version here.
Not available, but I guess to follow in the next few days, at Adorama here and AmazonUS here.
If you want to get it with the lovely XF27mmF2.8 R WR, then you’ll have to wait a little bit longer.
The X Gear
The GFX Gear
Adobe has just added support for Fujifilm GFX100S, GFX100IR and X-E4 cameras.
Iridient Developer 3.6 is now available with support for the Fujifilm GFX100S and X-E4. The release also adds native Apple silicon support for loading RAF images with lossy compression. The loading of lossy compressed RAF files is now much faster on Intel based Macs as well! Iridient Developer 3.6 for macOS is available for download here. This version now requires macOS 10.10 (Yosemite) or later and is only a universal binary (natively supports both Intel and Apple silicon processors).

Phase One has just released Capture One 21 version 14.1.0.
I am downloading my copy right now, getting ready to work with the files of my Fujifilm GFX100S, which I pre-ordered and now patiently wait for.
First and foremost, it officially adds support for Fujifilm GFX100S and Fujifilm X-E4.
It also brings new features and improvements, as well as bug fixes. Here are some highlights:

The Fujifilm X-E4 is actually supposed to start shipping on March 11, but Adorama has all versions (body only or with XF27mmF2.8 II bundle) in stock and ready to ship already. The lens only is still just on pre-order.
A FR-reader contacted me and told me he will get his X-E4 tomorrow from Adorama.
BHphoto here and AmazonUS here still mark it as available for pre-order and shipping March 11.

Smallrig has just made the Smallrig L Brackets for Fujifilm GFX100S and for Fujifilm X-E4 available for pre-order (with a limited time discount)
Smallrig offers a vast variety of L-brackets and cages for Fujifilm cameras. You can see the different options here.

We did cover the first part of the Fujifilm X-E4 development in this article. The focus there was on why Fujifilm made certain design choices.
Now Fujifilm shared Part 2 of the Fujifilm X-E4 development story. It’s again in Japanese, and again we rely on google’s automatic translation tool.
Much goes lost in the automatic translation tool this time, but there is one sentence I’d like to highlight: “it’s really important to have a camera that you want to carry around with you“.
For me, this sums up my X-E line shooting experience.
The combination of X-E3 and 27mm results in such a small package, that it is with me just everywhere.
For example, in pre-COVID times, when my brother asked me if I could pick up his kids after school, I always did so with my X-E3 and 27mm. No strap, no bag, no nothing. Just put in the pocket of my jacket, and you never know, maybe there will an interesting image to take on the way. And if not, peace, I didn’t even notice the weight and size of the X-E3 and 27mm in my pocket anyway.
All I needed to make my everyday snapshot photography life perfect, was an aperture ring on the XF27mmF2.8, and finally Fujifilm delivered.
One day, when the hard lockdown we are forced into again, when photography stores will open again and I can leave my 1.000 souls small village again, I’ll run to my local store and grab that new 27mm.
Down below you get a summary:

Fujifilm has released the owners manual for the Fujifilm X-E4.
There is also a version that Fuji calls “multi” but it’s just the English version. What you have to do, is to go to this html page of the manual, then on the top right Fujifilm added a google translate box. Select your language and let google translate the manual.
