X-E3 as a backup for an X-Pro2?

I picked up the new X-E3 (plus a 16/2.8) from Hunt’s in Manchester, NH last night. (A nice store!) My strap and memory cards are back home in Chicago, and a filter and better hood are both on order. It’ll be tough, but I’m going to try and leave this all boxed up until I get home next week.

Of course, this means Fuji will announce an X-E4 in today’s event...

This is my fear! Just got my xe3, and I love it. Let me feel the novelty of it for a minute, Fuji!

Don't worry sbout that, new models only follow a purchase by me.  I do enjoy my X-E3.  It acts as a spare to my X-T2 but it gives me the choice of assembling small and light or bigger and well featured depending on what I'm doing.  This isn't a unique advantage of Fuji, but it is a well executed option with the Fuji system.

I don’t worry about it anymore.  Just because a newer, shiner model becomes available, it doesn’t mean what I already have quits being functional.  Heck, I’m still (very) occasionally using my 1999 vintage Nikon D-1 body.

Last spring I picked up a Nikon N90s for $40 on eBay. This thing was $1150 new, but who wants an old film SLR? Tell ya what, the meter is infallible, the speed is top notch, and I’m pretty sure I could build a house with it. Newer isn’t always better.
