![]() The electronic viewfinder has always been a badge of pride on the X-T series and the X-T3 is not allowed to disappoint with its ‘immersively’ large EVF that is sized at 0.75x with 3.69 million dots. That huge EVF and zero black-out in continuous shooting. A surprise to me was that the X-T3 came with the more modern USB-C port that also supports in-camera charging. One glance is all one needs to set Aperture, Shutter Speed, ISO, Exposure compensation – all without even glancing at the LCD screen and that’s the way I want my camera to be.įor a camera worthy to be seen as for the professional, the basic is now Dual-Slot SD support and the X-T3 carries on this tradition with Dual UHS-II SD support. The dials, the physical controls that all Fujifilm users love are all there. All around the camera shows excessive attention to detail, from the knurled dials to the improved depth of the grip. ![]() ![]() The camera is constructed from magnesium alloy and of course weather-sealed. As with BSI sensor technology, the low light performance (or phase detection sensitivity) has now improved to -3 EV from a previous -1 EV in the X-T2 and X-H1. Native ISO is now ISO160 to ISO12800 (extended ISO at ISO80 and ISO25600). ![]() X-Trans IV brings a Back-illuminated (BSI) sensor that features improved low-light performance and improved speed performance ( the X-T3 can now do 30 FPS JPEG+RAW with a huge buffer), significantly better AF reliability with phase detection coverage on the fullsensor area, improved dynamic range and megapixel count has been upped slightly to now 26 megapixels. The wait for the 4th generation X-Trans IV sensor took almost 3 years and this generational jump brings along with it the key improvements that matters most: New BSI X-Trans IV CMOS sensor and X-Processor 4 processor. Ok, we all know there will be a long list of improvements the X-T3 brings over X-T2, but let me focus on sharing a summary of the most significant improvements that the Fujifilm X-T3 will bring us ( I am trying to keep this review to lesser than 1800 words ) This is important to seasoned users, few people like having to adjust their muscle memory of buttons with every new body release. And to my relief, they have indeed maintained a nearly identical, SLR-styled body. The time tested X-T design, now further improved in the X-T3Ī first glance might have you believe that Fujifilm barely changed a thing with the X-T3’s design. In a way if you lack the patience to read through the end, there is no need to doubt, the X-T3 is a crazily refined sequel to the X-T2 that improves on its predecessor in most of the ways that matter most: next generation sensor / processor, autofocus, overall performance down to a staggering zero black out 30 FPS, immersive EVF, handling and yes, ever improving video capabilities – giving one a very capable camera successor to the X-T2.Īnd because we all love details, let’s read on shall we? Look at what appeared at my door step! (true story) For example, the X-T1 back then was plagued by light leak issues & the dreaded mushy D-pad that took time to correct but yes – from then on, Fujifilm has learnt from experience and has evolved fast with the X-Pro2, X-T2 and of course, the recent X-H1 (my review here) In reality, it wasn’t a perfect fairytale story. If memory doesn’t fail me, when the Fujifilm X-T1 was released back in Jan 2014, it’s excellent implementation of physical dials, tilt-screen, great handling and of course that huge ‘center-ed’ EVF propelled the brand forward towards more serious and professional users – and of course, easily made the X-T series the best selling (vs the X-Pro and X-E) in Fujifilm.
