The XE3 is a nice upgrade but I am keeping my XE1. Been shooting with it a lot lately,an I am still amazed by the quality of this camera paired with the "kit" zoom lens. And I picked up an Xt1 so my GAS is sated for now.

let's see if they get video right. needing an external recorder to use Fuji's own F log is nonsense.

The x-e2 with the 27mm was my favourite combo.

i have and still use xe1...xe2 bodies...the 27 stays on my first xe1 and is an everyday carry and it works just fine...i have been using the 23/35/50 with 2 xe2 bodies and it's still a light load and more than enough for getting some good shots...
but i think the xe3 is going to be a great camera if it's anything like the xt20...especially in size...

True to a point.
The XTrans III sensor uses Aptina's dual-gain technology which improves image quality (S/N) in low light (ISO 800 and above).
This would be attractive to those who often shoot in low light and already own X-Series Fujinon lenses and, or a XE-1 body.
The other benefits (besides pixel density) involve AF performance and other functions that depend on in-camera CPU upgrades. The XE-3's AF improvements will be useful to take advantage of the AF motor technologies in the newest Fujinon lenses.

I would imagine the smaller size and faster AF in low light might appeal to some as well.

It's smaller, but not significantly smaller, particularly when you put a lens on it. The other nice touch is the AF joystick. Just not enough for me to upgrade from my XE2. XE4 maybe.🙂

Oh I agree... I actually like the XE2 shape better, but I can see some updates in the XE3 that are nice. That said, I'll stick to the X100F, X-T2, and X-Pro2... since I already have too many.

I like the lack of buttons. Faster AF and a few extra pixels.
Is is water resistant?

I purchased my X-Pro2 in July last year, and have been using it week-on-week almost exclusively in the EV mode and the Acros simulation setting.
The X-E3, with its uprated sensor, is attractive to me as a second body but its lack of weather sealing is a big turn-off.
My X-Pro2 has been out in some really inclement weather down to -20C and has got soaked in the process, particularly with the 16 and 35mm WR lenses. The X-Pro2’s ability to carry on working all day in the wet and cold without a hitch has impressed me.
I’d be circumspect about the X-E3’s capability in such conditions. Other than this, the X-E3 is a worthwhile update: its lack of a tilt screen doesn’t bother me, as I have never found the need for this facility with the X-Pro2. Ditto the lack of an in-built flash.

M2 fan.
l admit l am a bit of a luddite, among other Fujis l have an XE-1 and l am quite happy with it, it has my Fuji 18/2 permanently attached to it, my 35/1.4 home being my X Pro-1. I am more than happy with this set up, it suits my needs. My sons often raise their eyebrows at my reluctance to constantly upgrade, l still own and use a Nokia 3310, my laptop should be in a museum and when they see me out shooting film ..........😱

I agree. The cost to upgrade would be high for anyone who is pleased with their XE-2.

I wonder what Nikon and Canon are going to come up with in the pro level mirrorless digital camera department? Something full frame I hope.
