I’m a beginner and need help choosing a fuji camera (X-e1,2or3??)

You mention that you are a student. Be sure to signup for b&h’s educational discount program. You can save $50 or $100 on bodies and lenses. Easy signup using an .edu address. Be sure to verify that you meet the eligibility requirements but they are pretty basic.

So Ari,

Think now is a good time to let the forum know whether the answers youhhave received went into the right direction.

Thanks again!!

Good to hear, I think you couldn't have made a 'wrong' choice either way, so enjoy your X-E3. Let us know how you get on with it and don't be shy if you run into any questions.

They are very similar cameras and have nearly the same specs. I had to think about what physical things I needed like "do I need the flash" or "do I need a flip out screen" and "what types of buttons placements would be best".

My final decision is to get the X-E3! I personally think the look of the X-T20 was a little too "clunky" for me, and I like the cleaner look of the X-E3. Pulse the Bluetooth was a bit of a deal-breaker as I am an Instagram addict and like to post on there. Plus, as many of you said I can buy a flash for the camera if I really do need one.The lens I will get is probably going to be the XF 27mm f2.8.

Congratulations, the X-E3 is a great camera. Update its firmware after you receive it if that hasn't been done yet.
