One user problem I have is that my thumb naturally rests over the dial on the back of the camera that changes the shutter speed. Let’s take a closer look at how Fuji’s XT3 solves problems I have with my D800. That’s why I started to fall in love with this camera because I could see that it held the answers to the problems I was encountering with my current DSLR. The more I researched the XT3, I discovered it had solutions to a lot of what I didn’t like with my current Nikon D800. I’ve been shooting long enough now to know what works for me and what doesn’t work for me with a camera body - and what features I like and don’t like. So much so, that I was originally just going to recommend it, along with some other choices, as part of a “Recommended Cameras” section on the Lounge Boudoir website.īut I feel so strongly about this camera that I thought it deserved an article that was dedicated to it all its own. I’ve never been much of a “gear-head” but in doing research on different cameras for some articles I’ve written, I’ve been coming across more and more photographers who are making the switch from their Nikon or Canon DSLRs over to Fuji and their XT3 mirrorless.Īnd I’ve seen video after YouTube video of these photographers explaining the virtues of the XT3 and they’ve captured my attention and interest. Granted, I’ve never shot with it, or even held one in my hands, but I have a feeling I’m going to be acquiring one in the not so distant future. (The camera will annoyingly nag you every time it’s switched on if you’re using anything besides the company’s $65 W126S battery, so be forewarned if you’re considering cheaper off-brand alternatives.I’m starting to fall in love with the Fuji XT3 mirrorless camera. Battery life is just slightly improved over the X-T2, so I’m firmly locked in the habit of shutting the camera off whenever I don’t need it and am almost always carrying a spare. But I’m not sure how Fujifilm could’ve crammed it in without compromising the X-T3’s appealing design. It’s the one missing ingredient here that would truly put this camera over the top. On that subject, I do wish the X-T3 had IBIS. It feels like Fujifilm purposefully decided against one just to give a future X-H2 another selling point beyond in-body image stabilization. The face detection is reliable enough that vloggers can probably get away with holding the camera toward them with a wide lens and shooting blind, but that’s nowhere near as good as having a monitor to glance at. The lopsided days of this company’s cameras being great for stills and terrible for video are over.īut the lack of a flip-around screen is a definite knock against the X-T3. It’s impressive to see how far Fujifilm’s video capabilities have come. I’m not about to up and start a new career as a filmmaker or YouTuber, but the X-T3 puts some cutting-edge creativity at your disposal. If you prefer having the most dynamic range when grading, Fuji’s F-Log profile is the way to go, but there’s also a film simulation designed for video called Eterna that should work great for general editing purposes. (The even more information-rich 4:2:2 recording is available externally over HDMI.) Now, don’t get overwhelmed by the videographer jargon what it all means is that the X-T3 is a wonderfully capable video-creation tool that’s right up there with Panasonic’s best. This camera allows you to internally shoot 4K video at up to 60 fps in 10-bit 4:2:0 color right to the SD card in H.265/HEVC, and you can select a bitrate of up to 400Mbps for frame rates of 30p and below. The new processor also contributes to the X-T3’s powerhouse video capabilities.
