Re: What do you think of used XE-3 as gateway to Fuji ILC system?

Virtually indistinguishable IQ to latest gen sensor; much improved operating speed compared to the generation before it. The X-E3, X-T20, and X-T2 are the best bang for your buck in the used Fuji market, in my opinion. Which model you'd want to choose depends primarily on your handling preferences and how relevant size and weight are to your use case. The X-T2 offers a superior EVF, weather resistant sealing and more physical dials in a larger, heavier case. The X-E3 and X-T20 make for very portable and light cameras, with largely identical performance. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the three.

While the generation before it (X-E2[s], X-T10, X-T1) still takes great images and is even cheaper, they might not be the most compelling representation of Fuji's capabilities today, due to the slower operating speed, AF and overall improvements in the successor models.
