Fujifilm X-E4 vs X-E2S
The X-E4 leads on more headline specs, but the X-E2S counters on a lighter 350 g body.
The short version
The Fujifilm X-E4 and Fujifilm X-E2S are both Fujifilm X-E bodies. The X-E4 is the newer of the two, arriving in 2021. At launch the X-E4 was $849 and the X-E2S $699, making the X-E2S the more affordable of the two.
On paper the X-E4 is the stronger body of the two. It gives you 26.1 MP of resolution, 8 fps continuous shooting, and face/eye-detection AF, with a few smaller wins on top of that.
The X-E2S isn't far behind. It hits back with a lighter 350 g body.
So which one? If you want 26.1 MP of resolution, get the X-E4. If a lighter 350 g body is closer to what you actually need, the X-E2S is the smarter buy. And the X-E2S costs less — $699 at launch.
