Here is one of many reviews heralding the Fuji XT3! https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/fujifilm-x-t3/5
The X-T2 was a huge leap forward from the X-T1, both in terms of autofocus and video performance. At the time some people even claimed it could match the reigning champ: the Nikon D500, in terms of AF. Our testing and experience didn't support that, but for it to even be sensibly discussed showed how big a step forward it was for Fujifilm.
Surely Fujifilm couldn't make sure a great leap forwards again? And, with the announcement of the X-H1, with better video features, would they even want to? Well, the X-T3 leaves no doubt about the answer to either question: yes and yes.

You should enjoy it greatly and please report tous all about your experiences with it and post some shots.
Have fun today at noon.
I have read elsewhere it surpasses the D500. Obviously not here and no I don't have the reference this minute.

Or just enjoy the brilliant JPGs the Fuji XT3 renders. It is different from the XT2. The files look remincent of the XT1. I think you, like thousands of Fuji shooters will find that the JPGs are what you end up shooting for the majority of the time. I use the second card for RAW and find myself using that rendering and all the time it takes in post very rarely these days. Enjoy!!!

Any guesses as to why, Carter?
Fujifilm is building the X-T3 in China instead of Japan and passing the savings onto customers. That was posted in several articles when it was announced.

Black body camera's for decades have been the symbol of professionalism. I've been buying and selling cameras for a long time now, and the price premium for black bodies has been in vogue for professional photographers for many decades now. I take advantage of that by always buying black bodies for resale because most people don't know that one distinction about color of the body.
Black will always sell faster and for the higher price point. That's the only reason for my predilection to black camera's and no other reason seems to prevail. One case in point... Canon GIII film camera's in excellent condition but silver and black will routinely sell for $125. An all black GIII, (I have owned 3) all sold from $350 to $500. Same is true of many seventies rangefinders.
Many classic black camera's are far more attractive and saleable than their chrome counterparts.

Well I hope I am doing the right thing as I am picking up my XT-3 at noon today. I sold my D500 as it was to bulky and I had problems steadying it for normal shots. Now I have to learn a new camera which will be fun. I only hope it does as well as my D500.
You’ll love the X-T3, I bought mine when they were released. Here’s a 2 hour YouTube to help you get familiar with this beauty.

They can charge more for the "retro" look.

Trying to learn the camera system, very different from the Nikon. I did shoot a few pictures inside and really love Looking at what the end product out of the camera will look at. I will post photos later this week.

Yeah, you’re a good candidate to own one. It makes *great* JPEGs (and raw files).

Well, this is a public forum. Others may not care about JPEGs. (I do. I use them when I don’t want to post-process much.)
