Re: Upgrade X-E2, with what? XE2S - same same but different

So, the question I would ask, is the xe3 worth £80 to £110 more than the xt20?

I think the XT20 is more valuable as it has that extra dial like you mentioned, plus it retains the D pad and has the flip screen.

I wasn't happy with the XE3, but do agree with the poster above about not liking my nose getting in the way with central EVFs. Hence me selling it and choosing an X Pro 2 (stumbled across a rare new one abroad for £685). I also had an XT3 and couldn't bare not having a left EVF camera too. I just checked eBay and the prices over the past few months range from £475-600. I think the X Pro 2 is worth considering if you find a shop with one for something like £550... if you also appreciate a left EVF. I just stick to lighter lenses with it and use the XE2 for heavier ones. A flip screen would be nice, but a left EVF is more important to me. Depends on your priorities.

Edit: just checked and there is an X pro 2 for £524 on MPB. But it is "well used", all the good condition ones are £674 and £749 for excellent condition. Bad for you but at least I know mine can be sold for what I bought it for, maybe even get a profit.

It's getting too pricey and you already have the heavier XT3, so I would probably get the XT20. With the money you save you could always pick up an old XE1 if you get the left EVF itch. Sold mine for £85 18 months ago. From £104 on MPB.
