I bought a used XT-3 about a year ago and love it !! I see no need for anything newer, the XT-3 does everything I need, some complain about its focusing but I use it primarily for landscapes and it does just fine for landscape photography
I use my X-T2 since 2016. I tried the T3 once for a longer trip, but I no needed to upgrade. The focus is bit better, but the sensor has a bit more noise in the T3. So, in my opinion and practice T2 is still as good as T3.
For me, the X-T3 is everything I will ever need from a camera. I started with the X-T1, then X-T2 and finally X-T3. I think the 3 is the best compromise between the older style camera and digital. I felt with this camera that I would never need to upgrade and am still satisfied that I don't need any more tech that is basically diminishing the skill of the photographic experience.
That generation of Fuji’s top-end cameras was pretty special. I’ve never had an XT body, but I do have an xPro2 that I absolutely love. Most of my paid client work is done with my Sony kit, but when I create for myself or if I’m traveling it’s pretty much always my xPro2 I reach for. It comes with me pretty much everywhere
@@ian_worth Oh you should! I use newer X-Ts for the work where I need IS and reliable autofocus; my X-Pro2 is the chuck it in my bag, every day camera. It takes a little getting used to at first after SLR style bodies, but I have noticed that people find it both intriguing and less intimidating because of its retro, rangefinder styling. (I do a lot of portraits and people photographs!)
I have two x-t3's at the moment and really love them. The spec's are probably more than I would ever need. As I do most things manual anyway. I love the controls, the image quality and the design. Also autofocus is plenty fast. It can focus on vehicles that travel at 100+ km/h so that's plenty fast for me. Use them for concerts, events, travel and family stuff :)
I moved over to the Fujifilm X-T series of cameras about 9 months ago having watched some of your previous videos and I've never regretted it. Like the X-T3, having the 'exposure triangle' clearly set out on top of my X-T5, with the ISO and shutter speed dial on the camera body and the aperture setting on the lens, makes these cameras a real pleasure to operate, without having to remember menus, which dial does what and shortcut buttons. Image no.1 for me thanks Ian.
I always found the XT series to be a bit flimsy, not really impressed with the build quality. I still have my X-E1 (and love it) and recently traded in my Nikon FX stuff for a 2nd hand X-H1. Though lacking some of the dials, I very much like it. Especially the backlit LCD screen up top when doing night photography. Really handy. When it comes the the long exposures, no. 1 does it for me.
Love Laigharne I love Laugharne. Surprised you haven’t been there before. Such a peaceful place and very different to your usual South Wales photography locations. Another great video Ian. I started off 12 years ago as a newbie with the Canon 5D Mk ii, then bought the mk iii, then the mk iv with shooting weddings and now enjoying photography for my own pleasure with the Fujifilm XT series with the 4 and now 5. Always enjoy seeing your video notification popping up. Love those long exposure at Amroth. The black and white works so well.
Bought a X-T3 a month ago, with a shuttercount below 2000 😬. Bought it to compliment my X-E4, I shoot with vintage lenses alot and wanted something with a bigger EVF and a better grip and preferably the same sensor. Couldn’t be happier!
Hi Ian. I bought my first digital camera in 2017, it was an XT2 (just before the XT3 came out 😂). And learning how to use that is how I found your channel - I’m sure you had the XT2 as well? Anyway, only this morning (before I watched your video) I was with it again taking photos. I have an XH-2 (enjoy both) but that XT2 keeps calling - such a joy to use. Of the three images I preferred the first one. Very nice light and contrast, definitely ‘fine art’ style ❤.
I still love to pick up my XT3 and go out and shoot. I Finally decided to get the XT5 and at the camera store turn around , it's a nice camera but feels like a plastic toy compare to my XT3 so I started to look at XH line and while deciding this whole firmware and AF issue started to run here on YT ... and the way Fuji is addressing it... hmmm im still shooting whit my XT3 and my 6 battery🤭😂 Nice work Ian it' always a pleasure watching your video .Thank you!
Great video, l bought mine used about 4 years ago. Nearly traded it in when I bought the xt5, I’m glad I kept it.All 3 photos are great #1 just clinches.
I still have my X-T3 that I bought barely used back in January 2021. It's still more camera than I need, but I love it. It's so durable too. I take it hiking all the time. The X-T3 is also a great camera to shoot with vintage lenses. Interestingly, recently I was considering if I could buy a replacement, would it be another T3 or a T4? I think that a used T4 in general will have been used far harder because it probably was used to shoot a lot of video. So, the sensor probably has more wear on it that a typical X-T3 sensor. As for those images, love them all. But, if I have to pick one it would be #1. I like how the composition. The three elements on the right point to and kind of frame the two posts that to me are the subjects. Thanks for this video!! I'm sure my X-T3 will be with me for a while. First, I'm an amateur, so I can't really afford G.A.S.! Secondly, the X-T3 does a great job. No reason to look at anything else yet. Thanks for taking us along on your photo walk. Have a great weekend.
Merci Ian pour ce retour d'expérience sur ce xt3 , j'aime beaucoup la série des xt , perso j'ai le xt5 et j'en suis très content, pour tes photos , j'ai une préférence pour la 1 qui je trouve est mieux composé, la 2 aussi est pas mal et enfin la 3 que je trouve un peu trop serré , merci encore à bientôt .
I enjoyed the video as usual Ian. It's nice to see someone like yourself still using a camera that you have had for a long time and still love it, instead of always getting the newest one. Great image's as usual. My favourite one was number 1 out of the the three. Catch you on the next.
I love the XT3. Was my first XT and I started feeling a proper pro-sumer from there. But when I moved to the XT5 it was like night and day for me. So fast, the IBIS… a XT3 on steroids. And for my needs, superb AF (even if that is far from Sony or Canon).
Thanks for a very useful video which many can relate with. Lessons from many in this space seem to go something like 1. The best way to get better images is to get out and shoot. Practice, make mistakes and shoot some more. 2. It doesn’t matter what camera you have, all of today’s cameras can take great photos. It’s not about the gear! 3. Here I am with my new $12,000 Hasselblad kit.
I have an XT3, and have been thinking about upgrading, but all my preferences come back to... well, the XT3. The only bugbear is the battery life. But I usually carry a couple of spares anyway.
I bought an used XT3 some years ago and I absolutely love it. I never felt the need for something newer until the XT5, but even then, the XT3 is so lovely I could live with it all my life. Maybe the day they make an XT camera with 100 megapixels I'll upgrade lol. The only thing I don't like about it is that it resets it's internal settings after some months without a battery. Having a backup of your settings in the PC takes care of it, but Fuji could just write that data on the SD card and reload it when needed instead of volatile memory, honestly.
Yes that is quite annoying, it happened to me once when I was on a client shoot, I was like bare with i've got to setup my camera again. I tend to leave a fully charged battery in it now. 👍
All three images are interesting. Being a fan of long exposures my choice is number 2. Great video. Always anxious to hear your take on images, techniques and gear.
I bought the xt5 at the beginning of the year. Being a 68 year old with arthritis, its just the job for me. Ive heard xt3 users saying that the build quality is not what it used to be but it feels great to me, especially with a 27mm pancake attached.
I have been a Canon user since the early 90's and enjoy using that full frame system, but since purchasing an XT3 in 2020 about 80% of my images are now taken on the XT3. You summed it up in your video, the XT3 is a camera you just want to take photos with.
My favorite is the first picture. I owned the x-t3 too for many years. A really great camera. Thank you for reminding me. Great video. I've got another question. You never use a lens hood in your videos. I like how small it is in your backpack. but do you never have problems with lens flairs etc.?
Even though I am a Nikon guy (D780) I found this video very interesting. All the photos featured are very good but #3 ) of the final set of 3) is my favourite. Cheers. Ken
I bought into the Fuji system with an XT-2. Still use it as my work horse. Since then I have bought an xt-30 and a 100V for travel and street. Haven't seen a need to upgrade since.
Very interesting video! I have learned a lot again. Many thanks for the brief but helpful tip about the polarization filter when photographing through the window! And I couldn't help but grin at your text reference to the zipper ... Picture 3 is my favorite.
I have XH1 which was launched a bit earlier, but I got at nearly 1/2 price with batter pack and 3 batteries & etc. Love it too bits, so solid and the shutter soooo silent. Yes I agree with others that stage in Fuji's development was good because of the image quality. I shoot with simulation bracketing: Velvia, Provia and across! Nice video, must add to bucket list!
I have 3 Fujis GFX100S ii... Which Inn I would love you to have a try with it. GFX 50s ii and XT5 All 3 serve a purpose.And I love the fuji colour science and the ergonomics of Fujifilm cameras as well. The camera that I think is undeated for landscape photography is GFX 50s ii. Once you've played with gfx files , it is very difficult to go back. The incredible dynamic range Does makes it easier for landscape photography. I can't remember the last time I had to bracket an image. But overall, I think Fuji cameras are great for landscape photography.Add many other photography types also.
@@ian_worth I literally don't spend money on anything else so it's okay and I make a decent income from landscape photography and other Photography sources now plus a day job
Picture 1 this week, very nice composition, some things going on but not to much. Pics 2 and 3 than on P2. I started again after some years without a camera in 2019 with a used x-t 1. I still use it and like how nice it is to use. I added a x-h 2s some weeks ago for a more modern AF, the Ibis, better Viewfinder and a bit more resolution. But the x-t 1 will stay and will still be used.
I reckon the XT-3 marks the sweet spot, usefully more advanced than the also great XT-1, but with much of the same appeal. I went for a Pro 3, which has the same innards and have never felt like it needs more than it has. The sensor is good enough and the shutter smooth enough that I never miss IBIS either.
I have 6 different Fuji bodies. The X-T3 is still my favorite. There is just something special about the size, build quality and tactile feel in hand that you don't get on the other XT bodies like the new X-T5 which feels like plastic. Nice video Ian
I'm still using the X-T2 which I bought brand new at 50% off MSRP after X-T3 was already out. You can get great deals on camera gear if you don't insist on having the latest model. People have been using the older models for professional work with great results and it's not like they suddenly turn into bad cameras the moment a newer model is released.
The XT3 and XT4 use the same Processor 4 and I always felt the XT4 with the addition of IBIS was just asking too much of it. The XT4 just seemed all around slower in operation to me, including the AF. The XT5 with the Processor 5 solved all that of course. I sold off my XT4 when the Xh2 came out and I shoot stills with my XT5, but I still have my 2019 made in Japan XT3 and use it as my EDC camera with Fujichron lenses. 👍👍
I wanted a smallish camera for travelling so after watching many videos and reading countless reviews I bought a used XT3. It looked great, felt great but I just could not get away with it even though I to my mind some great shots with it. I tried and persevered but in the end I traded it and ended up with a used Pentax KP which I love especially as it’s lots lighter than my K1ii. The XT3 obviously suits you though and had I not already tried one you would have probably convinced me to try one. No 1 image for me.
@@ian_worth I just could not get away with the interface and menu, even moving say between manual to aperture priority, shutter priority etc seemed such a long way around compared to Pentax. Perhaps being a long time user of Pentax from the days of the Spotmatic made my to stuck in my ways.
Great camera. I own an xt2 and occasionally use the xt3. I prefer the XT2 as an everyday carry, as it feels more comfortable and a bit more compact, and somehow a bit more solid.
i bought a xh2 about 4 months ago but i constantly go back to my xt4 i think it is a better camera so now it seems the xh2 is my stand by camera and not what i was planning? i can definitely see a difference as you move the ISO up ,,,,wonder if anyone agrees?? good video tho ian
I bought an XT-1 about 5 years ago as I fancied trying out Fujifilm, I paid about £200 for mine back then in nearly mint condition and they have nearly doubled in price since then. The only thing I wish it has is that 3 way articulating screen as it can be tricky seeing the screen sometimes shooting in portrait orientation if low down, otherwise I love it. The XT-3 is probably the camera I would upgrade to when the time comes, I did like the XH-1 when I held one too though.
HI Ian - just in relation to AF, I understand that in fact the X-T4 does not have better AF - it did on release but then Fuji did one of their "kaizen" fw updates to the X-T3 which gave it the same AF as the X-T4 and folks who own both confirmed that the AF is identical between the two cameras
I think old Dylan spent more time in the pubs there than in his writing shed!! Whatever, it is a lovely place; well off the beaten track so normally very quiet 🙂
Upgrade from a xt-20 with 18-55 to a xt-3 with 16-80 for the weather sealing and extra reach of the lens. Love the camera but finding my favourite photos I have been taken with my phone as it’s the camera I always have with me. Therefore thinking of getting a Sony rx100 but waiting to see if they will be upgrading it with the new EU law on USB-C coming into force end of the year.
i recently switch from xt3 to xs20. Don't get me wrong, xt3 was great. But as time goes, i realize i need bigger battery and ibis. otherwise, i would have stick to Xt3. i enjoy using xt3 up to 2 years until i found out its limitation. It gets the job done but it doesnt have what i really need. otherwise its a great camera for everything else. Switch to XS20, got the latest AF and xprocessor 5, got more film sims. Just enjoy using it for more lighter and casual shoot.
Great photo walk Ian. just had to look where it is, jeepers, it's right down there, no day trip. 🤣 I have the X-T4 and X-Pro 2, both fab, just getting to grips with the Pro 2. got a 56mm 1.2 and the 18-55 off I go, no ya don't, that bug just got me good.... Hay ho.... Cheers Ian, keeping me going....
For me, the most difficult choice is between an X-H1 and an X-T3 rather than between an X-T3 and an X-T4. X-H1 and X-T3 have different sensors, 24MP vs 26MP, but the older sensor has better dynamic range, and the X-H1 has IBIS. As for autofocus, I'm not sure about the difference, and it seems minimal to me.
Began shooting on 2 Fujifilm XT3 Cameras with battery grips in 2018. Still using the XT3’s in 2024. Hoping Fuji can sort out CAF issues with XT5 & their XH2-S bodies.
Great video as usual Ian. I currently own the X-T1 and love it. I've found myself wondering about the X-T3 too many times. I guess it's time to put the matter to rest, one way or the other. My print shop tells me I'm pushing the limits with the X-T1 so perhaps it's time for an upgrade to 26MP. The thing is, I'm in love with the X-T1! What to do?
Same here. I love my xT1. I’m afraid if I splash out for the xT5 I’ll have to invest in better glass, so I was thinking of the xT3 instead. I don’t really need 40mp.
@@ian_worth Thanks Ian. I just got back home to eastern Canada from an 11 day trip to southern England with too many shots to even think about at the moment Cheers.. What a great country. My last visit was August of 1986.
Question if you don't mind- do you ever have images raw or jpg that seem cartoonish? Detailed, but like a painting. This happens to me sometimes regardless of camera. Nikon d810, Fuji xt2. Mostly with forest scenes.
I run an X-T5 at the moment but, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't thinking about getting a backup body. X-T3 has been on my mind, X-T30MK2, and even the old X-T1 or X-H1.. I just want the camera to have a certain soul to the image. A lot of people say the X-T1 or the X-H1 have it..
The Fuji body I can't put down is the old GFX50R, The images from it using old manual focus lenses just have a look to them, you can pick up a 2nd hand body cheaper than a new XH2. If I need speed for event's and sports I use the XH2S my least favorite Fuji Body.
ive had the xt3 and the 16-55 for a few years now and it still does the job, but since ive started doing more and longer hikes that new xt5 and 16-50 kit lens is appealing just for ibis and the lightness of the lens.
I'd honestly see about renting that lens before buying to make sure your happy. The one I had was pretty soft in the corners, it wasn't any better than the 15-45mm PZ which is worth about 50p.
Could save more money and get an X-T2. The tweaks on the T3 were really incremental compared to what Fuji brought to the T4. Even a T1 is usable and has the venerated sensor that reviewers often refer to as the most 'filmic'. I'm still using my T2 daily. IBIS with adapted lenses is probably the biggest feature Fuji introduced later.
I have been shooting with an XT-2 for a dogs age. I have a northern lights trip planned for January in the far north of Canada (Whitehorse, Yukon Territory). I figure that since I am spending buckets of cash on the trip, I should spend $1000 CDN for an XT-3. That way I can use the XT-2 as a backup.

Besides T2 and T3 I've got the H2 and I can confirm besides a slightly better AF, there is no reason to buy an H2 over the loved T3.
Thanks so much 👍
I bought an X-t2 used. Even that was a stretch on my pension, but I am so pleased with it, it does everything I could ever want.
There’s something about the older X-Ts that stands the test of time.
Thats awesome 👍

Love my X-T3 with the XF33/1.4 and XF90/2. The black and white seascape shots are amazing. My favorite is #1.
Bought one from new, and it is an absolute workhorse. I have a professional Canon system, but the little Fuji is my go to for personal work. Love it.

I love my XT3!
Great video, thanks. Why didn't you go smaller with the aperture? Worried about diffraction?
I have XH1 which was launched a bit earlier, but I got at nearly 1/2 price with batter pack and 3 batteries & etc. Love it too bits, so solid and the shutter soooo silent. Yes I agree with others that stage in Fuji's development was good because of the image quality. I shoot with simulation bracketing: Velvia, Provia and across! Nice video, must add to bucket list!
I like 1 and 3 for the longer and compressed perspectives. Also use an xt3. Too many pixels in the xt5 in my view. Great vid as always.
Thanks so much 👍
I think all three were excellent, I think the third one is my favorite! Great video Ian! Take care!
Thanks, you too!
This,camera is brilliant. Bought 4 years ago and still use it every week. The dynamic range even on f2 is unbelievable ! Who needs a leica ❤
I have 3 Fujis
GFX100S ii... Which Inn I would love you to have a try with it.
GFX 50s ii and XT5
All 3 serve a purpose.And I love the fuji colour science and the ergonomics of Fujifilm cameras as well.
The camera that I think is undeated for landscape photography is GFX 50s ii. Once you've played with gfx files , it is very difficult to go back. The incredible dynamic range Does makes it easier for landscape photography. I can't remember the last time I had to bracket an image. But overall, I think Fuji cameras are great for landscape photography.Add many other photography types also.
Thats a nice collection buddy 👍
@@ian_worth I literally don't spend money on anything else so it's okay and I make a decent income from landscape photography and other Photography sources now plus a day job
Picture 1 this week, very nice composition, some things going on but not to much. Pics 2 and 3 than on P2.
I started again after some years without a camera in 2019 with a used x-t 1. I still use it and like how nice it is to use. I added a x-h 2s some weeks ago for a more modern AF, the Ibis, better Viewfinder and a bit more resolution. But the x-t 1 will stay and will still be used.
I reckon the XT-3 marks the sweet spot, usefully more advanced than the also great XT-1, but with much of the same appeal. I went for a Pro 3, which has the same innards and have never felt like it needs more than it has. The sensor is good enough and the shutter smooth enough that I never miss IBIS either.
I have 6 different Fuji bodies. The X-T3 is still my favorite. There is just something special about the size, build quality and tactile feel in hand that you don't get on the other XT bodies like the new X-T5 which feels like plastic. Nice video Ian
Thanks for sharing 👍
Hmm!
Fujifilm xt3? Even in today's value cameras, it is still one of the best, despite all the bell and whistle of the new cameras 📷 . No slouch.
Very true 👍
I'm still using the X-T2 which I bought brand new at 50% off MSRP after X-T3 was already out. You can get great deals on camera gear if you don't insist on having the latest model. People have been using the older models for professional work with great results and it's not like they suddenly turn into bad cameras the moment a newer model is released.
#3 offers the most interest for me.
The XT3 and XT4 use the same Processor 4 and I always felt the XT4 with the addition of IBIS was just asking too much of it. The XT4 just seemed all around slower in operation to me, including the AF. The XT5 with the Processor 5 solved all that of course. I sold off my XT4 when the Xh2 came out and I shoot stills with my XT5, but I still have my 2019 made in Japan XT3 and use it as my EDC camera with Fujichron lenses. 👍👍
Thats awesome 👍
Another great video! …and not a Hasselblad Earth in sight! Great stuff - keep it relatable and real world 👍🏻
The first one. I don't have the X-T3 but I love my 70-300mm.
yeah, its a great lens, so versatile 👍
Love my X-T3 as well. The picture? 1st one of course. Luckily it was just the Zip sound in the video :)
I wanted a smallish camera for travelling so after watching many videos and reading countless reviews I bought a used XT3. It looked great, felt great but I just could not get away with it even though I to my mind some great shots with it. I tried and persevered but in the end I traded it and ended up with a used Pentax KP which I love especially as it’s lots lighter than my K1ii. The XT3 obviously suits you though and had I not already tried one you would have probably convinced me to try one. No 1 image for me.
The KP looks nice 👍 I'm really interested to know what you didn't like about the xt3
@@ian_worth I just could not get away with the interface and menu, even moving say between manual to aperture priority, shutter priority etc seemed such a long way around compared to Pentax. Perhaps being a long time user of Pentax from the days of the Spotmatic made my to stuck in my ways.
As always a wealth of information! Thanks! Photo number 2, 😊
Thanks so much 👍
Great camera. I own an xt2 and occasionally use the xt3. I prefer the XT2 as an everyday carry, as it feels more comfortable and a bit more compact, and somehow a bit more solid.
Thanks Ian, great video. I prefer image #1.
Thanks so much 👍
Electronic shutters render shutter counts less useful for judging use. Good video, cheers.
Thanks so much 👍
i bought a xh2 about 4 months ago but i constantly go back to my xt4 i think it is a better camera so now it seems the xh2 is my stand by camera and not what i was planning? i can definitely see a difference as you move the ISO up ,,,,wonder if anyone agrees?? good video tho ian
I bought an XT-1 about 5 years ago as I fancied trying out Fujifilm, I paid about £200 for mine back then in nearly mint condition and they have nearly doubled in price since then. The only thing I wish it has is that 3 way articulating screen as it can be tricky seeing the screen sometimes shooting in portrait orientation if low down, otherwise I love it.
The XT-3 is probably the camera I would upgrade to when the time comes, I did like the XH-1 when I held one too though.
Thanks for another great video. My favourite image is #1.
Thanks so much 👍
I keep using my XT3 and get some excellent shots , spent the money on the glass. it just keeps delivering what I want
So true 👍
HI Ian - just in relation to AF, I understand that in fact the X-T4 does not have better AF - it did on release but then Fuji did one of their "kaizen" fw updates to the X-T3 which gave it the same AF as the X-T4 and folks who own both confirmed that the AF is identical between the two cameras
Thanks for the info, I haven't upgraded my firmware for about 3 years, maybe I should haha 👍
@@ian_worth I think it was fw 3.0 that brought the X-T4 AF - well worth updating !
I’ve been using my X-T2 it does everything fantastic camera.
Ian what filters did you use to get #3 shot it’s excellent
Thanks so much, Nisi fs nd filters 👍
My 16 year old Pentax still makes great photos. Will I upgrade? Probably, someday.
Thats awesome 👍
I think old Dylan spent more time in the pubs there than in his writing shed!! Whatever, it is a lovely place; well off the beaten track so normally very quiet 🙂
Very true 👍
Upgrade from a xt-20 with 18-55 to a xt-3 with 16-80 for the weather sealing and extra reach of the lens. Love the camera but finding my favourite photos I have been taken with my phone as it’s the camera I always have with me. Therefore thinking of getting a Sony rx100 but waiting to see if they will be upgrading it with the new EU law on USB-C coming into force end of the year.
nice 👍
I prefer the first photo of the three you took.
i recently switch from xt3 to xs20. Don't get me wrong, xt3 was great. But as time goes, i realize i need bigger battery and ibis. otherwise, i would have stick to Xt3.
i enjoy using xt3 up to 2 years until i found out its limitation. It gets the job done but it doesnt have what i really need. otherwise its a great camera for everything else.
Switch to XS20, got the latest AF and xprocessor 5, got more film sims. Just enjoy using it for more lighter and casual shoot.
I noticed that you use a Benq 4K connected to the MacBook, how do you like it? don't you have problems with interface scaling?
Great photo walk Ian. just had to look where it is, jeepers, it's right down there, no day trip. 🤣 I have the X-T4 and X-Pro 2, both fab, just getting to grips with the Pro 2. got a 56mm 1.2 and the 18-55 off I go, no ya don't, that bug just got me good.... Hay ho.... Cheers Ian, keeping me going....
Me too, I don’t see a reason to replace yet. I find I’m always accidentally switching on sports finder mode with my face though 😂
Thanks so much 👍
For me, the most difficult choice is between an X-H1 and an X-T3 rather than between an X-T3 and an X-T4. X-H1 and X-T3 have different sensors, 24MP vs 26MP, but the older sensor has better dynamic range, and the X-H1 has IBIS. As for autofocus, I'm not sure about the difference, and it seems minimal to me.
Began shooting on 2 Fujifilm XT3 Cameras with battery grips in 2018. Still using the XT3’s in 2024. Hoping Fuji can sort out CAF issues with XT5 & their XH2-S bodies.
Thanks buddy👍
Number 2 is my favorite
Thanks so much 👍
Great video as usual Ian. I currently own the X-T1 and love it. I've found myself wondering about the X-T3 too many times. I guess it's time to put the matter to rest, one way or the other. My print shop tells me I'm pushing the limits with the X-T1 so perhaps it's time for an upgrade to 26MP. The thing is, I'm in love with the X-T1! What to do?
Same here. I love my xT1. I’m afraid if I splash out for the xT5 I’ll have to invest in better glass, so I was thinking of the xT3 instead. I don’t really need 40mp.
The x-t3 files make really nice A2 prints
@@ab.collage Hmmm, I hadn't considered the possibility of new glass. Is that another reason to go with the X-T3?
@@ian_worth Thanks Ian. I just got back home to eastern Canada from an 11 day trip to southern England with too many shots to even think about at the moment Cheers.. What a great country. My last visit was August of 1986.
All great photos but I really love #3. I love using my X-T5 but it is forcing me to buy a new computer. My old PC struggles with the 40 MP photos.
Yes, those 40mp x trans files do require a fast computer 👍
I’m going to pick #3 because of the mist on the rocks in the foreground.
Thanks so much 👍
Hi Ian. Number 1 photo all the way for me. All good though.
Question if you don't mind- do you ever have images raw or jpg that seem cartoonish? Detailed, but like a painting. This happens to me sometimes regardless of camera. Nikon d810, Fuji xt2. Mostly with forest scenes.
I run an X-T5 at the moment but, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't thinking about getting a backup body. X-T3 has been on my mind, X-T30MK2, and even the old X-T1 or X-H1.. I just want the camera to have a certain soul to the image. A lot of people say the X-T1 or the X-H1 have it..
Still have my X-T3 but also now have a Nikon Zf which seems to be a path a number of X-T users have gone.
Bought one a few days ago, although i can't use it until my lense turns up. Great condition so not sure it was used too much.
Great video! :) what do you think about the X-T30 ii as beginners camera? :)
Best regards from germany!
The Fuji body I can't put down is the old GFX50R, The images from it using old manual focus lenses just have a look to them, you can pick up a 2nd hand body cheaper than a new XH2. If I need speed for event's and sports I use the XH2S my least favorite Fuji Body.
Thats interesting 👍
The first is my favorite.
Thanks so much 👍
ive had the xt3 and the 16-55 for a few years now and it still does the job, but since ive started doing more and longer hikes that new xt5 and 16-50 kit lens is appealing just for ibis and the lightness of the lens.
I'd honestly see about renting that lens before buying to make sure your happy. The one I had was pretty soft in the corners, it wasn't any better than the 15-45mm PZ which is worth about 50p.
I'm going to rent the 16-50 next month to see what it's like, I plan to do a video with my thoughts 👍
I love images 1 and 3. But image 1 is my favorite.
Thanks so much 👍
It's #1 (photo) for me 👍🏻
Thanks so much 👍
I am generally very happy with my XT3, despite the lack of ibis and a long-lasting battery and see no reason to upgrade at this time.
What are you using to film yourself?
Last of the best fujifilm cameras
👍
Nice pictures by the way 👌
Could save more money and get an X-T2. The tweaks on the T3 were really incremental compared to what Fuji brought to the T4. Even a T1 is usable and has the venerated sensor that reviewers often refer to as the most 'filmic'. I'm still using my T2 daily. IBIS with adapted lenses is probably the biggest feature Fuji introduced later.
I have been shooting with an XT-2 for a dogs age. I have a northern lights trip planned for January in the far north of Canada (Whitehorse, Yukon Territory). I figure that since I am spending buckets of cash on the trip, I should spend $1000 CDN for an XT-3. That way I can use the XT-2 as a backup.
I spent more money to get the X-T4.
