If I were you I would buy X-S10 instead. I have X-E3 + 35 f1.4 and it's love and hate relationship. Video in 1080p is not so great at least in my view. I much prefer shooting 4k with it. I didn't have any problems with flickering but I have some problems with AF system which is weak in today standards. Eye af and face tracking are unusable unless you shoot pretty static people. When I shoot my kids for example I always use zone setting and take a bunch of photos to be sure I have couple in focus. I also have some problems with shutter shock on slower shutter speeds, that's why I use ES most of the time with this body. For video you need OIS lenses or gimbal.

X-S10 while pricier is a much better proposition with IBIS, better AF system, better grip and better looking video plus Classic Neg simulation which is very nice or just wait couple months for X-E4 and buy X-E3 at bargain price if you really need rangefinder and classic dials.

I appreciate the feedback on the video, as it seems not a lot of people tried it on the XE3.

In terms of AF, i find it curious because all videos ive seen praised the AF and the keeper rate (including thecamerastoretv) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3J1QHdgWj8

I Could get an XT3 for under 1000 euros, or an XH1 for 600 euros. I was just trying to get a cheaper body to invest on the lenses instead.
