What is the Best Fujifilm Camera to Buy in 2024? (Top 10!)

The Fujifilm X-T4 is probably the best Fuji camera on the market today. It’s expensive for an APS-C crop sensor model. But it will perfectly suit a photographer or videographer who likes the look and feel while avoiding the heavier body and lenses of a DSLR.

The sensor size is reasonable at 26 MP, and the continuous shooting speed ranges from 8 to 30 fps—if you don’t mind the lower-quality file format. The only limiting factor is the autofocus system, which is unreliable.

The Fujifilm X-T4’s video specs are also the best of all the Fuji cameras. You can shoot a 4K video with it. And there is a barrage of features such as zebra stripes, punch-in recording, focus peaking, line-level mic input, and corrected log preview.

Have a look at these trending spec comparisons with the X-T4 before you choose:

The Fujifilm X-Pro3 is a version of the X-T3 APS-C mirrorless camera with a hybrid viewfinder and hidden rear screen aimed at the “purist.” That means either a waist-level street photographer or someone who prefers using an optical viewfinder.

The design makes it look like a classic rangefinder. And Fuji’s marketing focuses heavily on nostalgia, character, and history. It’s available in black and Duratect-coated black and titanium, as the look and feel are obviously important.

If you don’t happen to be in the target market, you might be better off with the X-T3. However, it does provide excellent image quality, fast frame rates, 4K video, and various typical Fuji Film Simulations.

The Fujifilm X-T200 is our choice for the best beginner Fujifilm camera. It’s a scaled-down version of the APS-C X-T30 mirrorless camera with a large, 3.5″ (8.9 cm) 16:9 fully-articulating rear screen with 2.76m dots. It’s aimed at beginners, and the touchscreen functionality will have a familiar look for photographers hoping to upgrade from their smartphones.

Smartphones are available in various colors, and the Fujifilm X-T200 has similar options—dark silver, silver, and champagne gold. It’s also tempting to view Fuji’s Film Simulations as the in-camera equivalent of Instagram filters!

The 4K video looks much better than the 1080 footage. However, the “digital gimbal” mode reduces camera shake, and there’s an HDR feature that reduces contrast.

This is an affordable, user-friendly camera for people just starting on their photographic journey.

Fujifilm started producing the X100 series before their X-mount interchangeable lens cameras, and the formula has proved very successful. The design recalls the old rangefinder cameras. But that doesn’t come at the expense of image quality, autofocus capabilities, or video features.

The latest model X100V is more expensive. But it justifies the premium with a new and much-improved lens, touchscreen control, a tilting rear screen, and an excellent range of video features.

Yes, there are still fundamental problems focusing with the hybrid viewfinder. And you might think that DSLRs and mirrorless cameras have solved those in a much better way.

The Fujifilm brand is built on enjoyment, and the combination of look and feel and performance makes this the best fixed-lens compact in the line-up.

If you’re interested in the X100V, check the following comparisons:

• Fujifilm X100V vs Sony ZV-1

• Fujifilm X100V vs Sony a7C

Fujifilm describes the X-S10 as taking the internal mechanics from the X-T30 and the design and in-body stabilization from the X-H1. It’s good for portraits, landscapes, studio shoots, and run-and-gun video but is less suited to capturing fast action due to problems with autofocus tracking.

It’s not a typical Fujifilm camera. It has separate, customizable dials rather than the dedicated shutter speed, aperture, and exposure compensation controls on other cameras like the Fujifilm X-T30 and X-T4. It’s a question of personal taste, but Fujifilm has obviously decided that not everyone buys into their retro vibe!

Apart from that, RAW image quality is good, with plenty of detail and dynamic range. The default Provia JPEGs also provide nice color straight from the camera.

The video performance is essentially the same as you get with the X-T30. You can shoot oversampled 4K 24 or 30p video footage for up to half an hour. And you can capture slow-motion by shooting in 240p Full HD and replaying it at 30p.

The in-body stabilization system helps keep the footage looking smooth and professional, but the autofocus sometimes hunts if face detection fails. Also, you can only track people rather than vehicles or animals.

This is a refreshed version of the X-T30 APS-C format camera, which was, in turn, a scaled-down version of the X-T3. The X-T30 II has a lot in common with the X-S10—although it’s not quite as impressive.

The 26.1MP sensor size and 8 fps continuous shooting are perfectly adequate, but the phase-detect autofocus system is a real bonus. It covers the whole frame, and you can even choose a focus zone or a single point.

It’s also capable of shooting 4K video footage. But it doesn’t offer 10-bit capture, Log modes, or all-intra (ALL-I) compression, which means the compression only applies to groups of frames rather than individual ones.

That makes the X-S10 or X-T4 the better option if you’re a videographer—unless you really can’t resist the X-T30’s retro styling.

The Fujifilm X-E4 offers a little bit of everything in a lightweight camera body that’s handy for street or travel photography. However, the autofocus system won’t quite cut it for sports or wildlife photography. And there’s no in-body stabilization to help take smooth video footage.

The design has the traditional retro Fujifilm look with a two-tone body and separate shutter speed and exposure compensation dials (plus the aperture dial on most lenses). You can also find all the usual Fuji Film Simulation modes, including “Classic Chrome,” “Classic Negative,” and “Acros.”

Fujifilm describes it as the interchangeable lens version of the X100V. However, it has a lower-resolution EVF, no weather sealing, and far fewer custom control options such as the front focus mode selector and rear dial that were on the X-E3.

Apart from the lack of in-body stabilization that makes handholding tricky, the video features of the X-E4 are impressive. You can shoot in 4K, and there is also the choice of either 8-bit Log capture internally or 10-bit Log capture to an external recorder (via a Micro-HDMI cable).

Fujifilm’s GFX cameras are a world away from their APS-C cameras. The GFX100S is a medium format mirrorless model, and the “100” refers to the resolution of the 43.8×32.9 mm sensor—which is actually 102MP. It’s actually a smaller, updated version of the GFX100 that has the same sensor but a more effective image stabilization system.

The styling is more similar to a DSLR than one of Fuji’s retro-looking APS-C digital cameras. It has the typical front and rear command dials and top LCD screen found on many DSLRs (plus a couple of custom buttons), but the mode dial is on the left, not the right.

It’s also very light for a medium format mirrorless camera—even lighter than the Nikon D850! That makes it easy to handle and transport. And the image quality is perfect for landscape, wedding, and portrait photographers.

However, there is a downside in terms of flexibility and responsiveness. The autofocus tracking and face and eye detection are not what you might expect from such an expensive camera, and the battery life is only 460 shots.

This Fujifilm X-E3 is the lightest of Fuji’s rangefinder-style APS-C mirrorless digital cameras. It features a 24MP X-Trans CMOS sensor, touchscreen, AF joystick, and a high-resolution EVF.

It’s designed to be the “little brother” of the X-T20. The main difference is the X-E3’s greater reliance on the touchscreen. The touchscreen replaces the four-way controller on previous X-E cameras, so you have to swipe up, down, left, and right instead. The movements all have customizable functions. The touchscreen also comes in handy for autofocus. In AF Touchpad mode, for example, you can use it to move the AF point around.

If you’d prefer not to use the touchscreen for the exposure controls, there are dials for shutter speed and exposure compensation, and most X-series lenses have an aperture ring.

There are also two clickable front and rear command dials (like on DSLR cameras). You can turn them to select shutter speed, ISO, exposure compensation, and aperture. Or you can click them to perform a number of other custom functions, including Magnify.

You can also shoot 4K UHD video at up to 30, 25, 24, and 23.97p using the full width of the sensor—although that’s only possible by pixel binning.

The GFX 50S II is the cheapest medium format camera ever produced. But that doesn’t necessarily make it any better than the best 35mm full-frame cameras on the market.

Yes, most medium format digital cameras get an extra two-thirds of a stop of light from having a larger, 44x33mm 51.4 MP sensor. However, the GFX 50S II suffers compared to cameras such as the Sony a1, which has better autofocus, more reliable eye detection, and a much higher frame rate.

It also lacks the ability to shoot video in 4K, which means it’s only truly useful for landscape and studio work. In other words, the image quality is great, but it lacks the other features photographers have come to expect from top-of-the-range cameras—even 35mm ones!
