# 4K Compatible Mid-Level Cameras The Fujifilm X-E3 is an Upgrade Over Previous X-Models By Joey Haar | Published 2017-09-07 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fujifilm-xe3 References: [engadget](https://www.engadget.com/2017/09/07/fujifilm-xe3-mirrorless-4k-touchscreen/) & [fujifilm](http://www.fujifilm.com/news/n170907_01.html) The world of camera technology turns incredibly quickly, as the new [Fujifilm](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fujifilm-xe5) X-E3 makes (literally) clear. The camera, an upgrade over Fujifilm's previous X-E2 model and Fujifilm's smallest viewfinder-equipped product, is only a few years newer, but it packs wildly improved features. The biggest addition to the Fujifilm X-E3 is the inclusion of 4K video recording, which affords far more freedom and quality for those producing video content with the camera. It further has a touchscreen and Bluetooth LE now, bringing it in line with the standard features available on other competitors. The tiny camera also runs with a 24.3 megapixel X-Trans III sensor, the same model used on Fujifilm's larger camera bodies. Priced at just $900, the X-E3 is a competitive offering from the historic camera company. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 45% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/photography) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **4K Video Recording:** Businesses that produce video content should invest in 4K-compatible cameras to provide better visuals to their audience. - **Touchscreens and Bluetooth Connectivity:** Manufacturers of mid-level cameras could incorporate touchscreen and Bluetooth connectivity to meet current industry standards and customer expectations. - **Megapixel Upgrades:** Tech companies could upgrade their camera sensors to provide better image quality and compete in the growing market for cameras and photography equipment. ### Who This Affects Most - **Photography Equipment Manufacturing:** Camera manufacturers could focus on producing affordable mid-level 4K-compatible cameras to attract more customers and compete in the market. - **Video Content Production:** Industries like advertising and entertainment could benefit from investing in 4K-compatible cameras to enhance the visual quality of their video content. - **Consumer Electronics Retailing:** Companies that specialize in retailing consumer electronics could diversify their product offerings to include the latest mid-level camera models with versatile features like touchscreen and Bluetooth connectivity. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Heritage-Honoring Camera Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fujifilm-xe5.md) - [Advancing Imaging Digital Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fujifilm-xt5.md) - [Lightweight Mirrorless Premium Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xt50-apsc-mirrorless.md) - [Pro-Grade AI-Powered Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fujifilm-xh2s-mirrorless-digital-camera.md) - [High-Resolution Mirrorless Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fujifilm-1.md) - [Mirrorless High-Speed Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xh2-camera.md) - [Fixed-Lens Digital Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/x100vi.md) - [40FPS Mirrorless Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xh2s.md) - [Lightweight Mirrorless Lifestyle Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xm5.md)
