Fujifilm X-E3: Verdict
The X-E3’s rangefinder styling and traditional external controls are welcome departure from regular camera design. It’s compact and responsive, and its image quality is first rate.
Fujifilm X-E3: Competition

Olympus PEN-F
The PEN-F is a beautiful camera, every bit as appealing as the X-E3. The smaller Micro Four Thirds 20MP sensor may put some folk off, but this does allow for smaller lenses.
Sony Alpha 6000
Twice replaced with newer variants, the 24MP A6000 nevertheless still stands up well. Resolution are great, and features are plentiful – and at today’s prices, it’s an absolute steal.
