Everything you've said is obviously a facade, this is nothing but sad excuses to convince yourself not to upgrade (or more likely you want to find an excuse to purchase of a different brand).
Of course you're not wrong to keep using the same camera but all you're doing right now is complaining about everything with no sense of direction or logic and sitting here blasting Fuji when all they're doing is listening to consumers and improving their system. Maybe that's not first degree trolling but it's not far off.
1. The X-E3 has just as many dials as the X-E1/2 and X-Pro1.
2. If you think the existance of an "Auto" mode is a bad thing you should join a Leica club. Having an easily accessible "Auto" switch is a legitimate improvement to any camera (a.k.a. Bigfoot Mode).
3. Here's where I know you're trolling. The X-E3 is getting the Joystick the same as the X-T2 and X-Pro2, but you complain about the lack of a D-Pad? The most common "low end" feature of "entry level" cameras?
That's some fantastic mental gymnastics.
4. Again, the X-E3 has no fewer manual controls than the X-E2 or your own X-E1, it is simply a superior camera to anything Fuji has made before.
If you don't like a touchscreen you never have to use it, but the way you're acting makes it sound like adding more features is ruining Fuji, this has got to be one of the worst cases of "Kids Get Off My Lawn" syndrome that I've ever seen.
I really like the look of it. It's not comparable to the images from our new digital cameras regarding sharpness or color accuracy, but it reminds me of my youth.
