“You get excellent 4K video quality, better touch screen capabilities, an improved autofocus algorithm with better face and eye tracking,.” — Mirrorlessons
Mount Compatibility

“Although, Fujifilm has reverted back to their 2.5 mm mic jack on this one, so you are going to need an adapter to go from 2.5 mil to 3.5 mil for most mics.” — digiDirect
Handling

“So thanks to the hand grip and thumb rest at the back of the camera, it makes handling and shooting very manageable.” — JayRegular
EVF & LCD

“Now, there is no fully articulating screen on this, but the autofocus has face detection and if you just stick the camera out and look at it, it will track your face and you can vlog with it.” — Adorama

Burst & Buffer

“Also, the camera can shoot up to 20 still frames per second with its electronic shutter or eight frames per second with a mechanical shutter, which is plenty fast enough at this price point.” — Christopher Frost
Stabilization

Autofocus

“The XT33 has the face eye detection, works even on not actual faces, but also adds subject detection, animal, birds, cars, planes, trains, motorcycles, things with wheels, probably not wheelie bins, bringing it neatly in line with what the XT5, XC50, and XM5 offer for AF.” — Kai W

“So, that leaves us back with the XT3 now as an affordable camera, and in order to keep the price down, Fujifilm can't change very much.” — PetaPixel
