I appreciate I'm not familiar with your setup or workflow however Fuji raw editing really comes into its own with Capture One. I wouldn't use anything else now. But not everyone wants to shell out for it if they already have Lr etc.Got my X-S10 this week coming from my old Canon got a lot of options to get used to so abit of a learning curve.
With some added Lightroom touches
Fuji X Series

How does Capture One compare to DXO (if you've used it)?
Really liked it with my Canon gear and the noise reduction was the best I've seen but not sure how good it'll be with a Fuji.
Oh I'm afraid I can't give an answer there, have never used DXO.
I used lightroom and Photoshop when I had my canon gear but when I changed to Fuji I also wanted some software that wasn't going to require a monthly sub so I got Affinity Photo and (initially) Luminar 4. However Capture One Pro was on offer over the summer so I purchased it and it's been great.
Lightroom does have a known issue where RAF files look 'wormy' for want of a better word and Lightroom's sharpening isn't particularly good on Fujifilm I believe.
Did your X-T3 arrive and if so, how’s it been?

It did, and I’m awaiting the arrival of my lens before I can test it. Should arrive this week. I’ve had a brief look at the menus and upgraded the firmware. I can’t wait to try it.

Guys, need some urgent help here. Maybe a school boy error, but how on earth do you take a pic with the manual focus lens?
Fuji XT 3
Samyang 12mm
The shutter button does nothing at all? Heeeelp

Haven't got any Fuji gear (yet) but there is a dial on the front of the camera that switches the focus. Have you toggled that to manual?

I have yes. I'm looking online and it would appear that I'm not the only one with a dodgy shutter button

I think there is an app you can use to take pictures too.
Have you installed that to see if the camera will take shots?

Ah-ha, panic over. There's another sub menu hidden away.. Should have realised with Fuji menu's.. 
But relief.

Not a lot of Black Friday deals from Fuji. I was hoping the X-T4 would drop a bit. It's a bit hard to swallow paying top money for the X-T4 when on paper the A7 III is the better camera for ~£100 less at the moment

Yea, tough times. I did see this a few days ago but it’s expired now.

If you're happy with the bulk yes obviously. The main reason I have my X-T10 is the sheer tiny size of it. Most of my photography is when travelling. I was very close to upgrading to a XT3 last year but after playing with it in the shop on my lunch break I just decided that it's too big for me. It'd mean I'd carry it around less etc.
My 55-200 arrived this morning. Took less than a week, BNIB, flawless condition, no issues.
Just had a quick shoot outside. It's a fantastic lens and looks hilarious on my X-T20. That said, it feels solid and even well balanced in some ways. Looking forward to playing with the photos in LR after work.
It's a super lens and when I tested mine against my Canon 70-200 f4 L IS on my 6d ii the Fuji lens was on par and that Canon was the sharpest telephoto zoom lens I'd ever owned.
You may find it gets a tad soft from 140-200mm however I find it still perfectly sharp. I think a lot of people who complain it's soft at that range are just spoiled because the 55-140 range is so darn good!
Never though of the X-T3 as bulky
If you're likely to go with the f2 lenses, the 30 would be in perfect proportion. The bigger lenses- 23mm f1.4, 56mm f1.2, 90mm etc and zooms might be a little front heavy.
Rather than size, I'd factor whether you want the extra physical controls or not.
It's bigger and heavier than the XT30 (series), that's all. I do love it, but for my usage was unnecessary. Per your other point, my XT10 lives with it's 35/f2 or 23/f2 on, heck the 18-55 feels weighty when I put it onNever though of the X-T3 as bulky
