<\/a>From the back the missing bits are obvious, the sort of wheel button arrangement is missing but all of the settings can be adjusted using the Q menu. \u00a0 The Screen on the X-E3 is a touchscreen, but I \u00a0don’t like the sensitivity of it – so for the moment it’s disabled.<\/p>\n The compact size means this is now my carry to work camera – I’ve managed to pick up a small bag to drop in my rucksack for the cycle to work. \u00a0 I’m still a little worried about it bouncing around the bag – but I’ll look to securing it some how.<\/p>\n A surprise for me with the X-E3 was in the inclusion of the mini EF-X8 flash unit. \u00a0 It’s a tiny flash that was supplied with the XT2 model but not the X Pro 2.<\/p>\n It works fine on the X Pro 2, in time it’ll prove useful or useless as it’s so small. \u00a0The unit (not referring to it as a flash gun!) is powered by the X camera’s internal battery so I guess we’ll use it with caution (or whilst carrying spare batteries).<\/p>\n On the subject of batteries it uses the same W126 type as the X Pro 2, so there was no need to unbox the charger.<\/p>\n One obvious omission is the Optical View Finder, to be honest whilst that is a nice idea, for the X-E3 its a logical removal – I do find on the X-Pro I’m using the EVF for most things – mainly due to the film mode being replicated in the electronic view finder.<\/p>\n Below are \u00a0a few samples from my first walk around Brum. \u00a0 Nothing has been done to the images. \u00a0They are shot in Fuji Acros + Red Filter mode, transferred to my iPhone and then copied to my WordPress server.<\/p>\n The following image was taken Thursday 22nd March and corrected a little on LR\/Nik Efex (looks better large – click on the image to check).<\/p>\n Overall I’m pleased with the little X Series, it’s the sort of thing that I should have tried years ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My intention at the Photography Show wasn’t to pick up another camera body, but anyone that follows the blog will know that often other things get purchased instead of the original item. \u00a0 My recent Fuji pondering was pretty much centred around the 100-400 and 1.4 TC – which I did pickup. \u00a0 I could’ve … <\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>
