Bottom line, the X-T3 is a great workhorse camera. I've had mine for a bit over three years now. You can't beat it's performance for the price. I use mine all the time for hiking. But, I've done portraits and sports as well with really nice results. You mentioned a big consideration that went along with the decision; the lenses and their cost. I looked at other systems before buying and when I saw how much lenses cost on most of them I new I would be able to afford them. As an amateur/enthusiast photographer that is a huge deal. Thanks for taking us along on your ice hunt! Have a great week.
The big reason for going with Fuji was the lenses. For the price and quality which are way better than other camera companies. No matter what X series camera you put them on you get the same quality.
Loved this ice photos/X-T3 video Kirk. I was very fortunate to pick up my X-T3 body years ago when Fuji had it discounted to $999 and it's been a workhorse ever since. I've since picked up the XT-5 but I continue to use the X-T3 (along with an extra battery) as a second camera - particularly when it's not convenient to switch lenses in the field. Pared with an IBIS lens like the XF 16-80, it's a pretty good handheld in low light situations as well.
I have the same rig and I used the 16-80 on the X-T3 all the time and now I use it on the X-T5. Love them both.
Great camera and lens combination. I have the X-T3’s little brother, X-T30, with the 16-80 lens. I find the range that lens provides to be quite versatile. Almost impossible to go wrong with that piece of kit you have. Definitely worth a buy on the used market. Save $$$ without sacrificing quality or fun.
Bruce I also have the little brother the X-T30 excellent little camera and great for travel.
Great video Kirk and thanks for taking us out with you. Man that location looks great and superb photos from you as always mate. Love it.
Thanks Colin - I promise there are some Leica videos coming in the future.
I loved my xt3, but my upgrade to the xt5 was definitely a great move. I shoot mainly birds with the xf 100-400 and the improved AF along with the bird tracking is priceless for me. IM not sure how much improvement the 40 megapixel sensor is, i thought the 26 was great. Both are incredibly sharp.
I did the same and found I really love the X-T5 - but that being said the X-T3 will always be there and I need to use it more. I will never sell it off.
I hear what you are saying about Fuji vintage XT bodies. I'm still using my X T-1 along with the first gen. of the X T-30. Living in the Sonoran Desert (Tucson, AZ), I do not get many opportunities to shoot ice. I'm inspired.
I still use the first gen XT30 as well and really enjoy it. Sorry about the ice.
I bought an X-T5 as soon as it came out, but still kept my trusty X-T3. I have it set up completely manual and added a collection of TT Artisan vintage style lenses for the complete retro experience. I use it a lot - it's so much fun to get back to basics and takes me back to my college days when I shot with an old Minolta on black and white film. 😎👍
I use my Fujicrons for a retro experience even though the manual focus is not the same really. If I use split image its close.
I've really thought about it. I do own an XT3, but there's always the temptation to upgrade. But thinking about it I wouldn't really gain anything. A bigger sensor would be wasted on me. So, personally speaking 26 MP is just that happy medium that suits my style of photography, and I don't think I'll ever get rid of it now.
Neville I know what you mean! I upgraded for the improved AF, the quieter shutter, and ibis.
Definitely agree on everything you just said. I've had the X-T3 for the past three years and it's been fantastic. The battery life is my only gripe but I've got an extra two with me always and never ran into a situation where I didn't have enough battery power to take the shot I wanted. Absolutely love the horizontal and vertical tilt of the display and honestly if I was to upgrade I'd skip the X-T4 and move to X-T5 just for that alone. I've never really cared about the video features in a camera, I keep forgetting that X-T3 has them so X-T3 is still plenty good enough for me and my photography.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! It's always awesome to hear from someone who's had a great experience with the X-T3. And yeah, the battery life can be a bit annoying, but it sounds like you've got it sorted with those extra batteries. Keep doing what you love and capturing those amazing shots with your X-T3!
I agree, the X-T3 is a terrific camera. I was so sure of this fact that I bought a second body, one silver, one black with the thought that these will be my last cameras. I have no need or interest in 40mp, and I could see that the end of the 24-26mp was happening, so I bought another X-T3 to keep me going for years to come.
I have never had any situation that the X-T3 was a limitation on my getting a shot and that will not change simply because of the fact that it has been superseded by two newer bodies.
Looks like you're building your own X-T3 army there! Who needs 40mp when you've got two trusty X-T3s by your side? Keep capturing those amazing shots!
I was actually considering this as well. I still may do so to save a lot of money. I'm not into videography, so I don't need all the video bells and whistles. It would be nice to have the bigger battery and IBIS, but not a necessity!
Still rocking with my XT3
I just picked up my first Fuji camera. I bought an X-T2 from KEH and I really an enjoying the camera. The colors right out of the camera raw or film sim. are great, and it has a great EVF. I'm watching to get lens recommendations, and I'm enjoying your photos!
Thanks Mark - I pretty much cover every lens you could use. I've covered lots of them. thanks for watching.
Heck, I’m still shooting an XT-2 in 2024, so shooting an XT-3 would be an upgrade for me. Not that I’d want to upgrade as I love my XT-2
Always good to step back and have thoughts about your old workhorse. Our secondhand XT2 died a few years ago, justified and upgraded it to a XH2. To be honest we are still spoilt to own one because it is a great piece of kit.
Yes Wil it was fun to slide back in time a bit. The XH2 is very nice I just decided to go for the XT5 instead.
A superb camera Kirk.......
Yes I agree!
Love my X-T3
Same here Tim.
Love the ‘3’ it alongside my ‘5’ are the workhorses of my kit along with the X-Pro 3 being the ‘fun’ camera. That said, had Fuji offered a Battery booster for the ‘5’ , I am not so certain I would have kept the ‘3’. Attaching my 150-600 to the ‘3’ w/the booster feels so much more ergonomic and balanced than it does on the ‘5’. So in hindsight, I am glad that I decided to hang on to the ‘3’.
Yes I totally agree with that! I wish they had too just so it would be better balanced with longer lenses.
I have the X-t3. If I had to replace it, I wouldn't get the X-t4, but maybe the X-t5. Since I haven't lost my X-t3, I am sticking with it until the X-t6 which I hope has even better auto focus plus the battery, IBIS, flip screen and 40 megpix of X-t5.
Still love the XT3 but went to the XT5 for a number of reasons mentioned below
Yes, the X-T3 is still great for 2024. I love my X-T3 which I purchased 2nd hand several years ago. It is a great camera, very customizable tom suit my needs. I shoot Landscapes, Macro, Aviation/Aircraft/Airshows and more with great results. The AF tracking works great when you set the correct tracking option and Focus area. There is a temptation to upgrade to the X-T5, but the IBIS would be the only thing that is of interest to me.
For me it was AF, the quieter shutter, ibis, and 15fps for sports. Still love the XT# though.
Great video enjoyed it! I have the Xt3 now for a year and half when bought it only had 500 shutters count. I have the 18-55 and 35 1.4 I use it with the battery grip! The battery grip stays on my XT3 because I just like the way the camera feels in the hand with the battery grip! I would like to get the XT5 for the better AF even though I don’t have any idea how much better the AF is, and the better battery life! But every time I go pull the trigger on the xt5 I keep thinking no battery grip! And then I can’t! 😂 my question to those with the XT5 coming from XT3 how much batter is the AF on the XT5 comparing to the XT3? Is 20% better or 50% better? How much better is it? Because on the videos I watch the AF on the XT5 is still not that good it’s better but not great! Also the lower buffer on the XT5 comparing to the XT3 which has a bigger buffer! And I might had I am portrait photographer so this my niche. Let’s go, hoping to hear from those with the XT5 coming from the XT3 .
The AF is much better in my opinion. Subject detection and eye detection is much improved. I use the XT5 for sports now instead of the XT3 because of this but also because I can do 15 fps. I used the XT3 for sports for four years and it was fine but the new camera is much better at it.
@@KirkWilliamsonphotography thanks a lot for the response
heard the build quality on x-t3>x-t5.
They are about the same in my view
