Regarding hte X-E3, I like it very much. The only downside is the smallish EVF (same size as X-T10/X-T20).
I much prefer the rangefinder type of body vs the DSLR type.
I've always found the X-E2 too bulky and I'm glad they reduced the size a bit with the X-E3.
Of course, it's a matter of preference.
From the early reviews I've read, it seems the camera is very fun to operate despite the reduction of buttons (d-pad notably).
Over the X-T20, you gain the joystick which renders the d-pad quite redundant and useless.
Plus, you can move the AF point using the touchscreen which is something great (works very well on Panasonic cameras, better than a d-pad IMO).
Comparted to the X-T20, the X-E3 features a more convenient form factor without the silly useless protruding bump of the non existent OVF (it's something that I've always found silly : with mirrorless there is zero reason to keep this silly bump).
