Awesome! This is exactly how I would setup the dial on the XE3. Would do you use the other dial for? I was thinking if setting it to face/eye detect would be beneficial but I'm not sure.

I would probably do that too when I buy my first Fuji camera. Do you have to push the dial before setting the ISO? Can you scroll through the Auto ISO settings too with the same dial or how would you typically map both settings?

Just curious. On the XT-30 and XE3 models they don't have the ISO dial like on the X-T3, but they still have the exposure compensation dial. If they wanted to make a simpler design for the entry level models, why not keep the ISO dial and remove the exposure compensation dial instead? Maybe I shoot differently than most photographers but in my mind the most important settings on a camera are the aperture, shutter and ISO controls. Was it a deliberate nerf to get people to buy the X-T3 for the full "Fuji-experience" or do most people use the exposure compensation dial more than the ISO dial?

Thank you! I haven't checked out the X-PRO's yet. I would probably go for a cheaper body so I can spend more money on lenses.

I've been a Nikon shooter since 2008 and love my D7200. It's big though (especially with my trusty 17-55 2.8) and I rarely take it with me so I would love to get a more compact mirrorless option that's easier to carry around. There's a charm to Fuji-cameras that Sony or other compact mirrorless cameras don't have in my opinion. I love the way they look and feel. I've been looking at the XT-3, X-T30 and XE3 but I'm not sure which one to get yet. Before I went to the local shop to try them out for myself I was mostly leaning towards the XT-30 because of the design and the compact size but now I'm back to square one again. I love that the X-T3 has a ISO dial and it feels better in my hands because of the bigger size. I do like the compact size of the two though. Even though the XE3 is as small as the X-T30 it somehow feels more natural because of the rangefinder design, whereas the X-T30 feels like a miniature X-T3. When looking at reviews of the cameras it seems like the X-T30 is more advanced than the XE3 since its a newer camera so my question is, is there any advantage to the XE3 other than if you have a preference for the rangefinder design? I have no doubt that I would love having any of them though. :-)
