Fuji Xe4 vs Xt30 ii

One of the major differences between the cameras is the location of the viewfinder. The X- Es have it in the corner, the X- Txxs in the center. You should also examine the control set and see which one has more direct controls with dials. I believe they both have touch screens. Regardless, the differences are mostly in how you use the camera. The output should be the same.

Fuji makes several different 35mm lenses. The 35mm f/1.4 is one of the very early Fuji lenses. It gives you beautiful images, but the autofocus is quirky and it's noisy. Mine makes a snippy-snappy noise like a pair of scissors. It can also sometimes have a loose aperture ring. But it is so good optically, and of course it has a larger maximum aperture so it is very useful in low light. The 35mm f/2 is a more modern lens. Its autofocus is faster and more accurate, it is weather sealed, and since it has a smaller maximum aperture, it is smaller and lighter. It is quite sharp , and gives an image which some find more clinical and less interesting than the output of the 35mm f/1.4.

The 27mm f/2.8 is a true pancake lens, designed to be small and flat and very light. It has a shorter focal length than the 35mms, so it offers a wider field of view, more like that of the human eye. The 27mm is sharp and yields a very appealing image, but it has a larger maximum aperture and a longer minimum focus distance than either of the 35mms. Note that there are two versions of the 27mm. The current version, the WR, is weather resistant and has an aperture ring, making it much more fun and involving to use. The two versions are the same optically. If you buy the 27mm with the X-E4 in a kit, the lens should be the WR.

You will hear a lot of recommendations that you should always buy a zoom lens first. There are some very valid arguments for this, I suppose, but I say if you definitely want a prime lens, get a prime lens. The two types of lenses are very different to use and there are those who find zoom lenses clunky and dull.
