Verdictwhich should you buy?
X-E4 — Compact Street & Travel Photography: The X-E4 is for photographers who want the minimum camera that still delivers maximum image quality. If you love shooting from the rear screen and want the smallest possible X-mount body, this is your camera. If you need a viewfinder or IBIS, look at the X-S20 or X-T30 II.
X-T3 — Video, Street, Travel, Portrait: The camera that proved APS-C could punch above full-frame on video.
