Awesome review! Just super professional level of explanation, insanely artistic sample shots and elegantly calm review tone. This review is itself an art.
Appreciate this review. I started my photographic journey shooting air-to-air refueling photography during my 21yr stint in the Air Force. The camera I started with was a used, Nikon FM, and this line of Fuji cameras takes me back to my roots and I love it. I love the mechanical dials that I can see in a glance. Menus are great for initial setup, but I hate relying on them when shooting. Fuji is on the right track.
Nice. I started with a Nikon FM10 as well and after years of sticking with Nikon DSLRs I got the X-T3 and finally am just as excited about using a camera as I was when I first got the FM10.
@@DavenMathies Oh, not at all! It's refreshing to see something calm insted of this fast, intense style of some UA-cam channels. It gives me perspective. Great job.
Daven Mathies yeah! I’ve seen it on a XH-1 and it works nicely! I want too see how focus speed and all other features work, it would be a definently switch from Sony for me
Thanks for a great look of the camera. Considering switching from high end m43 (have been for some time) but was planning on Panasonic S series or Nikon Z... not so sure anymore. Fuji does seem to give A LOT of value for and image quality. And in combination or pure and real controls. Not to mention decent prices on lenses. /Rasmus
I'm actually very happy with my X-T2, I recently bought the 56 F1.2, I love it, but I hate the lens hood, so have you had any issues using the square hood??
That’s a very simple solution for People who don’t like certain things about a particular camera that they find in other cameras. Buy the other camera what so hard about that. If you can’t afford the price done buy it,if you want or don’t want image stabilizer don’t buy it .if you don’t like the fact that it resembles a film camera don’t buy the camera. Why he’ll that’s so hard to understand.
Hi daven, enjoyed your review and hit subscribe. your style is very factual and calm with some interesting insight's which is what so many of us are looking for.
have you even looked at the raw files? They are about half a stop worse on the t3 compared to the t2. The BSI almost makes up for the lowlight performance loss that was a direct result of 1. cramming more (smaller) pixels onto the same size sensor and 2. faster sensor readout. So yes, BSI helps with lowlight, but smaller pixels and faster readout harm lowlight performance drastically. So the BSI almost fixes that issue but not quite.
hi. In my opinion just for photography its not worth it. I tried both X-T2 and X-T3 for 2 weeks and returned both because I still prefer Nikon D7500/D500 for wildlife. But for any other type of photography X-T2 is great. For low light focusing X-T3 is slightly better compared to X-T2 but still struggles against Nikon. Difference between X-T2 and X-T3 in real life is minimal. I don't think you're going to notice any difference between X-T2 and X-T3. For video X-T3 is a clear winner.
I would say the XT3 is a big jump from the XT2 for stills, the autofocusing is much faster (faster sensor), better (whole sensor phase detect AF points) and eye autofocus is very good. Much better low light focusing (-3EV). If these things rock your boat, go for the XT3. I won't mention video as this is on another planet :)
New X-T2s are still ~$1,100, but even that's a great deal. Whether or not you get a noticeable improvement from the X-T3 depends on what you shoot; the extra dynamic range helps for landscapes and the AF is better for moving subjects and in low light. Also, if you're at all serious about video, the X-T3 certainly has an edge. But otherwise, the X-T2 is still great, and the money save by buying it can be put toward a lens, which could make an even bigger difference in image quality, so it's hard to argue against that :-).
Erik Leypoldt It depends on what you prefer and need. And no, the full frame A7III is not that much better. In fact, the X-T3 is better in some areas, especially in video. 4K video quality is very comparable, the Fuji has less rolling shutter which makes it better for fast moving things, and Full HD comes out at way better quality on the Fujifilm (seen it in an in depth image comparison) and even at 120fps the quality remains very impressive. The big advantage of the A7iii is low light ISO performance, meaning less noise in low light situations, but other than that, you can‘t go wrong with either of them. I actually prefer the Fujifilm for almost everything. For the price the Fujifilm X-T3 is unbeatable to be honest. For 1.5k you get more than with some 2k cameras.
For 500 dollars more I think sony is better with Ibis,better battery life and you get a FF camera.Equivalent lens on sony have better autofocus motors,and lens are cheaper than fuji.i.e 85 1.8f is 200-300 dollars cheaper than xf 56 1.2. Fuji has advantages like colours and 4k60p 10 bit.But colours can be fixed on sony if you buy eoshd v4(if you dont wanna pay for it,you can get the instructions of how to do on reddit.)
Probably the best thing for you to do would be to rent these cameras and go from there, they are completely different in aesthetics and functionality and you may or may not like Sony’s dull computer like interface. I’ve tried the A7II and the Fuji XT-1 in the past, and they both were so great in there own ways, just try them both.
I think they're both great. Full frame means more bokeh which might be nice. To me, Sony is the king of face detection and eye focus and a bit less poetic then fuji. Fuji is the king of user experience. I agree with the above comment that you should just try them both. In a way to me it feels like apple vs PC. Fuji (apple) has the beautiful user experience and the good looks, Sony (PC) has technical dominance. But I'm not up to date on the specs so fuji might do better in the technical dominance domain than I think. If you're gonna make art - buy the camera that compels you to create.

Thanks for this video, I just purchased my XT3 , also love that Tycho and Aaron draplin design in the background you have great taste in design

What an excellent review! so well thought out and extremely informative. Thank you😀
@ Sony a6500 Are you seeing this?
Why is everyone so hung on this ibis shit!? It’s not a deal breaker guys... it’s an amazing camera
Hi, thanks for the great review. I wanted to ask what lens and lens cover are you using on the video, I noticed it’s squarish design. Thanks, john
Excellent review ! Thanks
How about time limit in xt3 when it comes to video? As I know a73 is limited to 30mins.
Well balanced review.
Sweet video man! Thanks
who is the ring maker? I have a very dear ring that needs to be rebuilt
Great Explanation
The touchscreen looks butter smooth!
I love the ufo abducting something in the lower left hand of the video. Ufo buff ? And yes im hoping to get a good deal on an xt3 black friday.
One of the rare reviews with actual footage & images shot by the camera being reviewed
Yeah but all n good, but if I wanted to trade in my XT2 body for an XT3 I , would get nothing for it, and i only got one kidney left to sell.
Ill be honest. I want this camera but I dont want to invest in Fuji lenses.
Why not?
Hi all, where can i buy this right angle cap for the lense?
You think adding a speed booster to this system will make it a bit interesting?
I would love to try one. I haven't shot a Speed Booster since I had a Panasonic GH3; they're a lot of fun on any system. :-)
Daven Mathies yeah! I’ve seen it on a XH-1 and it works nicely! I want too see how focus speed and all other features work, it would be a definently switch from Sony for me
I can attest, YES! Makes you wonder why Fuji hasn’t done it natively.
Mr G are you currently using a focal reducer for your xt3?
Which camera for best sharp images would u recomment amongst z6, fuji xt3, gh5 and sony a7iii?

Did they fix the iso stutter when you put it on auto iso? With xt2 the auto iso goes in steps and makes it very abrupt. Did they fix that on xt3?
Could you compare black and white pictures in XT3?
Dude the camera is better in lowlight in all ways it’s backlit man...almost an entire stop difference....
have you even looked at the raw files? They are about half a stop worse on the t3 compared to the t2. The BSI almost makes up for the lowlight performance loss that was a direct result of 1. cramming more (smaller) pixels onto the same size sensor and 2. faster sensor readout.

Hello, What's the crop when using Sports mode? and Picture size?
Nice review. Can you tell me what tripod and tripod head you use? Very good one.
you have a square Lenshood... could you tell me where you adjust your polfilter?
can you review the low light with a 6500, thx
maximum working iso? Autofocus is better than Sony A7 3?
awesome review. oh what lenses did you used to shoot the lady?
is it a full frame?
No, it's APS-C
Favorite reviewer. Reviews are short but informing
High five. Good review.
Really Fuji is rivaling Panasonic. Panasonic dosent even have a decent apsc camera. I believe Fuji is better than Panasonic in every way.
Nice Tycho poster
The XT2's are now going for 1/2 the price as the XT3; do you think it's worth it?

Daven Mathies lol I’ve got X-T3 for 1250$ from my local official dealer, I wouldn’t spend more then 700$ for T2 in any condition
Are those US dollars? If so, that's definitely a good deal -- but I've got to quote official numbers here ;-).
What would you choose between X-T3 or A7III? Is full frame that much better?

Fabio Mota makes you wonder what they can do with a $2000 or $2500 camera!!! Can’t wait to find out!
