The new XH-1. They just keep advancing.

I have been shooting Fujica, Fujinon Glass, and Fujifilm since the late 1960's. Still a leader and advancing throughout from then until now.

I find it interesting that Fuji bodies are getting larger.

And yet the X-E3 just got smaller than the X-E1 and X-E2 and 2s.

Bit of a riddle, Eh Wot?

I'm getting the new X-E3 because of the inclusion of the 24 Mp X trans sensor, and the slightly smaller size for the body. When I add a bottom plate and grip, it will be just the size I am looking for. My X-E1 with an adapted Hexanon legacy lens is the size I prefer, but I want the larger MP sensor.

The T1 and T2 are bigger than I like.

Kuzano: Regarding the physical SIZE of your X-E1, with the Hexanon 40mm fitted; how does it compare with (same camera, and...) one of the newer "Fujichron" lenses, specifically the 35mm f/2?

I've cuddled most of the Fujifilm X-cameras (more than once), and still find the X-E1/2/2S to be the most comfortable size for me ~ and I don't use the after market thumb piece, as it seems to get in the (my) way of quick access to the shutter-speed wheel.

I wish they'd kept the X-E3 the same size as the X-E2.

I would love the X-E3 as a second camera to my X-T1 however the lack of a viewfinder is a deal killer for me.

The Fuji X-H1 looks like a Great Camera,,,,will wait until Photokina in September 2018 when the Fuji XT3 supposedly will be announced and until then keep shooting my XT2,,,,I don't think You can buy a Bad Camera these Days regardless of Brand !!!

"Lack of viewfinder". Are you meaning "optical", such as the X-Pro's and the X100's? (I'm sure the X-E3 has an EVF...no?

Only has the screen. No viewfinder.

Per Fujifilm's website:

"Fujifilm redesigned the camera body of FUJIFILM X-E2, released in November 2013, to create the most compact and lightweight model within the X Series interchangeable lens camera range, with a viewfinder."

I wish they would produce something like the X30 it was a perfect pocket camera with a 28-112mm equiv f/2-2.8 zoom' I sold mine and instantly regretted doing so.
