Short answer

The Fujifilm X-E2 is a rangefinder-style mirrorless camera released in November 2013 at a US launch price of $999. It has a 16.3 MP APS-C X-Trans CMOS II sensor and the EXR Processor II. The same sensor and processor are in the X-E2S, X70, X-T10, and X100T. There is no in-body stabilization.

It weighs 350 g and measures 129 × 74.9 × 37.2 mm. Fujifilm rates the battery at about 350 shots per charge. The body is not weather sealed. It records to one SD UHS-I card slot. It shoots video at 1080/60p.

The viewfinder is 2.36M-dot OLED corner viewfinder (0.62× magnification). The rear screen is a 3.0-inch fixed LCD with 1.04M dots. Native sensitivity runs ISO 200–6400, extended to 100–25600. Continuous shooting reaches 7 fps.

Compared with the X-E1 (2012), the previous model in the series:

  • X-Trans CMOS II sensor (was X-Trans CMOS)
  • EXR Processor II (was EXR Pro)
  • 1 new film simulation (Classic Chrome)

It was followed by the X-E2S in 2016.

Fujifilm no longer sells the X-E2 new. It arrived in November 2013 and the X-E2S replaced it in February 2016, so what is on sale now is second hand. Its launch price was $999, the only official figure it ever had. Fujifilm rated it at 350 shots per charge with a new battery.
