Hi there. I shoot Nikon Z and have a Fuji X100s. I've always been Fuji curious, but don't want to spend XT4 money to test the waters of Fuji ILC.

I'm seeing some very good deals on used XE-3s out there, for $500-$600 for the body. What do you think of the XE-3 as a gateway drug to the rest of the Fuji ILC system?

I don't really care all that much about having the latest and greatest AF.

Decent introduction (but nowhere near as good as the aging XE2 was as an introduction). Just grabbed one myself (again) new on sale as they are being sold off. Budget EVF is the only major downside, which probably doesn't bother most people. Images are similar to the newer models (24MP to 26MP), but much more detailed than the previous models (16MP to 24MP).

Buying used or on sale means switching to a good camera won't mean we lose much money. The images are just as good as the good cameras of the same generation. But upgrading to an XT3 or XT4 will be a massive improvement in many ways.
