# Ultra-Light Mirrorless Cameras The FUJIFILM X-E4 is the Company's Lightest Camera Yet By Riley von Niessen | Published 2021-01-27 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xe4 References: [fujifilm-x](https://fujifilm-x.com/en-us/products/cameras/x-e4/) FUJIFILM has added a new camera to its X Series lineup, called the X-E4. The digital camera is a mirrorless rangefinder style and offers a compact and lightweight build that makes it ideal for photographers who love to keep their camera handy for when they need it most. The X-E4 boasts a 26.1-megapixel, X-Trans CMOS 4sensor, 0.02 second autofocus—the same features shared by all of the brand's professional X Series cameras. Photographers can also expect the same rich color features that FUJIFILM's known for, which easily adapt to different environments to capture stunning images. Other notable features include a rear tilting monitor, a top panel shutter speed dial, and concentrated controls that provide greater thumb space for a more comfortable in-hand feel. The X-E4 is set to launch in March 2021, and can be purchased alongside a range of dedicated accessories.
