In this modern world of evolution, new technologies have come up to help humans and upgrade their life.
Photography is an emerging profession amount the youth today. And people are so in love with the new technologies, that they have surrounded themselves with technology.
The profession of photography needs a good experience, passion for the field, hard work, patience, and not forgetting, the gears of course.
Cameras, lenses, tripod, memory spaces, proper settings, etc are all part of photography.
Choosing camera gears is a difficult task. Because we have a wide range of cameras available in the market in different variants.
The basic variants of the camera are:
1. Compact Cameras.
2. DSLR Cameras.
3. Mirrorless Cameras.
4. Action (Adventure) Cameras.
5. 360 Cameras.
6. Medium Format Cameras.
7. Traditional Film Cameras.
Photographers choose their camera gears according to the kind of photography they prefer and their genre interest. Let us discuss Mirrorless cameras.
Mirrorless Cameras
Mirrorless cameras are cameras with no image reflecting mirrors. So the light doesn’t reflect the sensor, and it directly reflects on the sensor. It has an electronic viewfinder.
As compared to DSLRs, it is a light and compact alternative to it and provides excellent quality images and videos. Since the camera comes without any mirror mechanism, it is lighter and avoids any shake as compared to heavier camera gears.
Here we’ll discuss the superiority between the two best mirrorless cameras- Fujifilm X-E4 and Fujifilm X-T200.
Specs of both the Cameras
Fujifilm X-T200
● 26MP – APS-C BSI-CMOS Sensor

● ISO: 160 – 12800 ( expands to 80 – 51200)
● Lens:Fujifilm X Mount
● 3.00″ Tilting Screen
● 2360k dot Electronic viewfinder
● 8.0fps (20.0fps Electronic) continuous shooting

Why Fujifilm X-T200 advantages over Fujifilm X-E4?
1. Tilt-swivel screen
The screen of X-t200 can be tilted and swiveled for maximum shooting flexibility, whereas the X-E4 screen can only be tilted.
2. Manual focus
X-T200 offers manual focus while X-E4 has AF.
3. Flash
Xt-200 has an inbuilt flash while X-E4 doesn’t.
4. Higher resolution screen
A Higher-resolution screen allows you to adjust focus and composition perfectly, which is 920k vs 540k pixels.

These are the differences between the two Mirrorless Cameras. Though they have some common Cons too.
They are:
- 1. Neither of the cameras provides built-in GPS.
- Both the cameras provide only one storage card slot.
- Neither of the two cameras provides in-camera image stabilization.
Conclusion:
So, choose the gears according to your choice of camera genres. Always prefer the camera with fewer drawbacks. Because every camera is not flawless. They might have some of the other Cons.
