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

Used prices for the X-E3 have recently also been discussed here .

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

Different people will have different answers to this question.

In my opinion, this depends primarily on two factors: EVF placement preference and how much you'd need a flip screen. For some, D-Pad vs AF joystick might also be a consideration.

Personally, I much prefer an EVF on the left side and prefer the flat-top form factor. I'd like a flip screen, but I wouldn't compromise on the overall body layout to get it. As for the secondary consideration, I prefer an AF joystick to a D-Pad, as I didn't use the hotkey functionality on my X-E2 D-Pad. I mostly used the D-Pad for AF point selection (and menus, obviously), for which the AF joystick is a much better solution.

Finally, budget can of course play a role. For some people saving 80-110 GBP will not be an option but a requirement. Not everyone has the financial means (or willingness) to spend the additional amount.
