Fujifilm X-E3
Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera · 24.3 MP APS-C · 2017
Short answer
The Fujifilm X-E3 is a rangefinder-style mirrorless camera released in September 2017 at a US launch price of $899. It has a 24.3 MP APS-C X-Trans CMOS III sensor and the X-Processor Pro. The same sensor and processor are in the X-H1, X100F, X-T20, and X-T2. There is no in-body stabilization.
It weighs 337 g and measures 121.3 × 73.9 × 42.7 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 4K/30p, 1080/60p. It is the lightest X-E camera.
The viewfinder is 2.36M-dot OLED corner viewfinder (0.62× magnification). The rear screen is a 3.0-inch fixed touchscreen with 1.04M dots. Native sensitivity runs ISO 200–12800, extended to 100–51200. Continuous shooting reaches 14 fps electronic, 8 fps mechanical.
Compared with the X-E2S (2016), the previous model in the series:
- 24.3 MP instead of 16.3 MP
- X-Trans CMOS III sensor (was X-Trans CMOS II)
- X-Processor Pro (was EXR Processor II)
- 4 new film simulations (ACROS, ACROS+Ye, ACROS+R, and ACROS+G)
- 13 g lighter (337 g)
- launch price $200 higher ($899)
It was followed by the X-E4 in 2021.

Film simulations on the X-E3
It has 15 of the 20 film simulations. It lacks REALA ACE, Nostalgic Neg., ETERNA Bleach Bypass, Classic Negative, and ETERNA / Cinema.
camera.lensesFor
The X-E3 takes X mount lenses, and the catalog lists 92 of them. 40 are Fujifilm’s own and 52 come from other brands, mostly Viltrox, 7Artisans, and Sigma. Focal lengths run from 8 mm to 600 mm, and the fastest opens at f/0.9. 69 are primes and 23 are zooms.
camera.used
Fujifilm no longer sells the X-E3 new. It arrived in September 2017 and the X-E4 replaced it in February 2021, so what is on sale now is second hand. Its launch price was $899, the only official figure it ever had. Fujifilm rated it at 350 shots per charge with a new battery.
