Review Excerpt

Stylish, compact body; Great image quality; Very good overall performance; Touchscreen LCD; 4K UHD video recording.
Small EVF; Fixed display; Unreliable continuous autofocus.
Read our Fujifilm X-E3 Express Review

Comfortable ergonomics and solid build; Versatile EVF and tilt-swivel, touch-screen LCD; Good image quality; Great performance for its class; New C-RAW format saves on raw file size; 4K video is an M-series first.
Somewhat limited dynamic range; JPEGs a little soft at base ISO, and more so at higher ISOs; Warm white balance under incandescent light; Poor battery life; Raw buffer is still shallow (but C-RAW helps).
