I haven’t had a chance to see either in person but am interested to hear from someone that has. I have Sony A7R3, which I plan to keep, looking for something really compact to carry around when I can’t have Sony. I had the RX100 V, loved the size but the retracting lens and the EVF had too many moving parts and issues for my liking. I was thinking either the XT30 with the 27 2.8 or the XE4 (when it comes out) with the 27 2.8. Are these combos not super portable? Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike

The XE series with 27 2.8 is smaller and lighter than the Fuji X100f... if that tells you anything.

The current X E3 weighs 11.8 oz with battery and card inside. The fuji 27 2.8 is only 2.7 oz...

It will go in most coat and non-slim jacket pockets. Some claim to be able to put them in their pockets, but they must be wearing baggy cargo shorts or something.

So yeah you are going to save some weight. It isn't as portable as RX100 though.
