As someone who owns both X-E2 and X-E3, I am not quite sure where the nostalgia/following of the older sensor generation comes from.

I find that the additional cost of the X-E3 is well worth it over a used X-E2. Faster AF, front command dial, AF joystick, much improved video. Unless you can't live without a D-Pad, the X-E3 is a superior camera in most ways.

Having recently bought a second X-E3 for the equivalent of 400 USD, I see few reasons to instead buy a camera with internals from 2013 (the X-E2s was no more than a refresh of the X-E2), even if it costs half as much.
