Still laughing for that Chris vs trashcan joke, brilliant Jordan xD
Thanks! I'm glad you can't hear me laughing in the soundtrack when the camera made the mistake.
XD
hehehehe !
instant classic ;)
That's what friends are for : To tell inconvenient truths
12:40 I'm so dead. XD
Literally just searched youtube for this review, and what do you know: my favourite camera review channel just uploaded this video.
We did it for you Stefan!
Good reason to subscribe and hit the bell icon 🤣
That garbage attack versus Chris was absolute SAVAGE
LOL! looking absolutely similar! :D
True
It was worth watching the entire video to not miss that moment XD
Not everyone is blogger in this life. So the display is perfect for street photography and other gamers.
Thanks for the review!
Beautiful stills and footage guys. Camera reviewers who can really shoot are a huge asset to this industry.
The X-T3 looks like an amazing body. I have a T-2 and the improved autofocus tracking and locking diopter were the things that I'm happiest to see here.
Stills look no better than the XT2 but you might get more keepers due to the improved AF.
Man Fuji put out the best mirrorless since the A7III. Super dope camera.
Maybe if it had ibis!
@Abdul what kind of cons does ibis have? I thought it would be the best compared to in lens stabilization
In lens stabilization is better. But both would be best.
I wounder to as i have ibis in my camera
This really makes me wonder why fuji released the X-H1. Why not wait a year and release it with the X-T3 sensor and processor now? would be seriously pissed if i had just bought one.
That being sais though. Damn this looks like a nice upgrade for existing X-T3 shooters.
I enjoy your reviews for a lot of reasons but your consistency is the primary one. Thank you. Very helpful as usual.
Totally agree. Fun to watch but they focus on substance, not theatrics.
Top notch review. all the info good and bad. great side jokes and inspired video work with composition and close ups. best review team in the business.
Second that!
Outstanding camera. Just bought the xt2 a few weeks ago amd now im looking foward to buy this one. Better autofocus, insane 4K 60FPS, fuji colors in pictures. My dreamed camera!
yes but if possible Fuji will add the eterna also for the x-t2 next FW update
I also bought my XT-2, 3 months ago, yes the XT-3 is a bit better at everything but it doesn't make me a better photographer. With the upcoming XH-2 I might become weak...
@@ju2705s it would be great!!!
My new XT2 is all anyone needs to make great photographys....but I will be selling it and the grip for the better low light performance of this camera. I I didn't find myself in low light all the time...I'd keep the XT2 and wait for the next generation.
maybe, but the X100S never got classic chrome :(
I love the XH1 actually. And I’ll probably not get the XT3. But that internal 10bit is enticing. What an exciting year for mirrorless. 😁
Benjamin Freddie I was thinking I’d just get the X-H1, but after seeing this I think I’ll just pre-order the X-T3. It is the future with new processor and sensor.
I love the X-H1, too. I'd have gotten the X-H1 ahead of the X-T2 if it had been available. I far prefer the aesthetics of the X-H1, and it took me a while to warm to the X-T2 form-factor after having used an X-Pro1 for so long. My next Fuji-X will be an X-H2, though I may get an X-T30 or something in the meantime (or an affordable GFX to use my old VM/ZM lenses on...)
for fuji and sony, but boring for canon and nikon
I own the X-H1 and I must say, it's an amazing camera... At $1650 it's a steal.
Get the X-H1 discounted :D It's an amazing camera... You get IBIS and better ergonomics in some areas (amazing shutter mechanism, top plate screen, large grip) and you get IBIS! If you don't need IBIS at all, the X-T3 is also interesting with its improved AF.
I am so happy fuji did not link performance to the grip!!!
😀
Actually, they sort of did. The battery life is still terrible so if you want to shoot a full day (without swapping out batteries) you need the grip. Although the key video features do not require the battery grip, to fully explore that great new burst rate you need the grip. Without it, the buffer is going to fill up after one burst.
what does the buffer have to with the grip?
Adding the battery grip increases the available power and the rate at which the buffer will clear. (That is direct from a Fuji rep) All the video functions are there without the grip, but because the battery life and power output is so bad you need 3 (and therefore the grip) to really make it the sports, action, or wildlife camera it is being touted.
ohhh interesting thank you
'It's an easy mistake to make, they look very similar'😂😂
I also notice that😆😆
Jordan’s high level joke is really smart!
made my day))
12:43 🤣🤣🤣
I feel sorry for chris but I laughed. lol
Did Jordan just compared Chris's face with trash can 😂😂
Yes
This is an interesting year for cameras.
Right? I haven't seen so many releases since i started shooting in 2014. I still love dslrs and they got better but this feels like the early 2000s when every new camera or mp3 player was a marvel
um, which one to buy?
great review guys. Ordered this baby within 30 minutes of its launch. I was introduced to the X-T2 at a violin recital for my daughters violin concert by another dad. I was very impressed. The are smart buggas - I sold my entire Canon pro setup including all L series lenses and bought an XT-20 with three lenses to play with. Was amazed at the ability to capture light in ways I had to struggle with post production before. Have traveled and lived from Tibet to Chile and Europe and Canon was my backbone. Now, I am selling the XT-20 and all but the 35 f2.0, and buying over $4,000 worth of equipment and I am far from a well off guyI plan to shoot with this camera for the next 5 years, possibly adding another body as they amaze me even more in the future. I was a Nikon shooter for 20 years, and Canon for 16, so this is a big jump. GOOD AMAZING JOB, FUJI!!
As an X-T1 user, after not caring much for the 2.. this thing looks seriously nutty, with the face detection focus, the tracking, the etterna and video quality.. holy shit, if only it had IBIS.
I might just have to save for this anyway.
I still shoot with an X-T1 and all the small F2 WR primes. I’ve rented the XT-2 and X-H1 and came away unimpressed. This X-T3 looks like a giant step up from the X-T1. And did u notice the quality of video - especially the graded F-log footage? Holy smokes. I’d rather have a kick a$$ stills camera without ibis that travels small and light and bring a gimbal with me if I plan on doing extended video shoots.
Another example of a cool and very accurate first impression review. I don't know how you manage to so fluid but it makes the difference. Anyway as a OM-D EM-1 & EM-5 Mii I feel very frustrated as nothing comes up. Coz they also make very classy cameras.
Magnification during recording!! THIS IS AWESOME
Looking forward to your findings about High ISO performance too, on the official review.
Cheers guys
And the number of bits shall be 10! Solid as always guys.
Jordan’s athleticism really shines here.
Lol
we need more Jordan's Athletic Mode
For action/sports or video shooters the X-T3 seems a nice upgrade. For pro portrait photogs the X-H1 still looks better as it has better ergonomics and IBIS as well as that lovely shutter
I like how Fuji provides model variation to appeal to different ways of doing things. Big X-Trans fan here. Also a fan of the present X-T2 screen articulation for compact portrait configuration. X-Txxx + X-Ax are there for Bayer-fans and vario-angle fans or vlogging. X-Hx is there for smoothniks. I really prefer the X-Trans output compared with Fuji's Bayer output (at least with X-Pro1 & X-T2.) I love you Fuji.
Yes I did switch from Nikon D750 to XT-3. Very very excited. Already have received some fuji lenses. Eagerly awaiting the new camera.
Am an X-H1 user and what the X-T3 brings is excitement--excitement for what will come in the X-H2.
Great review! Thanks guys! That silver XT-3 is gorgeous.
I'm loving everything Fuji.
It's nice to see them working so hard for their corner of the market.
I have to ask if you guys have noticed any improvement in dynamic range or low light shooting noise performance. I was hoping with a BSI sensor it would see a marked improvement. The lower base ISO suggests more dynamic range but no word yet on that.
Great review video!
I'm so excited to buy the Fuji X-T3 for filmmaking. I'm using the Fuji X-T2 until now but I'm looking forward to the new autofocus and the new 4K 60fps movie mode.
Meanwhile, 5 years later... I just bought one, and man do I love it! This beauty is still relevant in 2024 and doesn't feel 5 years old at all.
From a gutted 80D user hoping to go mirrorless this week, colours are just beautiful
Canon's AF will still be better especially in video.....didn't think there was an issue with Canon colours either?
Canons colours have always been really good and one could argue the benchmark, my 80D always films warm, but the 1080 like my Phantom 3 pro in 1080 is a little soft IMHO from an amateur, where my Panasonic TZ110 films cooler but sharper, this was just crisp and really nice colours, hard to explain
You can't go wrong with Fuji. Great IQ, great colours, amazing usability and, what's more important - unbeatable bang for the buck in the lens department. That 56mm 1.2 alone is worth switching for - razor sharp wide open.
Also, I've used X-E3, and if autofocus on this X-T3 is even better than that, and still not enough for someone - then someone should learn to use their gear first.
Full phase detection coverage is a game changer for me.
I tended to just use the big square as my autofocus mode on the xt2 because contrast detect af is too slow for street photography so you basically had to use single point or just select the center phase zone.
You guys just crack me up with your banter...and AF on my XH1 has yet to confuse anyone’s face with a garbage can. I love your reviews and I honestly think you guys are among the best out there! I’m quite happy with my XH1 (it took some amazing pics and vids on my China trip last month) for now, but I am really looking forward to your review of the XH2 when it comes out.
Can I just get 100 clips of Jordan awkwardly staring at a camera and running?
Looooved this video! Just Got my own Fujifilm X-T3 and your videos are part of the reason. I actually did a video with my first impression of the camera, and I gotta day, I was surprised. I’ve used canon my whole photography life, but it’s always felt like the shoe didn’t quite fit right with me. The style and feeling of canon just wasn’t my cup of tea. Now the shoe finally fits and I feel more motivated than ever, with my Fuji xt3.
This will be a killer camera. $1499 is a great price. Unlike the lazy designs and very high price "let's milk our loyal fans" of the upcoming Canon and Nikon mirrorless cameras, the X-T3 has both great ergonomics and brings something new to the table. The new Microprism super peaking will be fantastic for Manual lenses.
like a deadpool's quote
A....this Is a crop sensor. Therefore cheaper price
Yes +
Yes Daddy
I can't knock the price. I wish that Canon could have done that. (sigh)
I think Fuji has a medium format camera just as a way to say "I don't make a full frame camera just because I don't want, not because I can't".
Perhaps their anology is that the quality difference between apsc and full frame is low and that the size benefit of apsc for the lenses and camera body essentially make a full frame version redundant. Instead they make medium format body which is a substantial upgrade in terms of image quality (albeit at a greater price difference as compared to an apsc and full frame). I personally like their strategy... If someone wants a small system with good image quality Fuji got them covered. If they want a large system with great image quality, Fuji has something for them as well... They just didn't bother with full frame. The lenses for full frame cameras are quite large and perhaps the incremental quality gain from full frame system was thought to be pointless. So they went one step higher and make medium format (affordable medium format)
@moo I've only ever shot on apsc. And occasionally on friends' full frame systems. I'd never seen a large enough difference in quality to warrant a change in system from apsc to full frame. However the difference between medium format and apsc seems very substantial. I might be wrong here. What disadvantages are we talking about with medium format compared to full frame (apart from the obvious weight difference in the kits and lenses)
Understood! I'd always thought full frame was pointless when we had APSC... It is the otherway around. Medium format is pointless when we have full frame! I'd never had the chance to shoot in medium format (and probably never will :-) )
Yes, but they should! That is where the competition is! Medium format is way too expensive for most to consider and the fps is almost non existent.......
I think Fujifilm will do a full frame next year... probably they work already on a possible prototype in case the selling will go to Canon and Nikon... If not, the cheapest APS-C system will still get the most profit (that would be Canon with the Rebel line, of course).
wow, that last shot looks incredible. I feel more confident investing in more fuji lenses knowing their bodies are getting this much better now.
This is the best mirrorless in the mirrorless market.
Sony, Canon and Nikon are huge mirrorless!!!!!.....with HUGE lenses!!!
Fujifilm is the only brand that offers something special with its aps-c and medium format cameras
ginocogino h
I keep hearing Chris say, “Welcome back TCS Viewers...”. I had to rewind it 3 times to understand he was saying DPTV haha. Good work DPReview picking these guys up. Best camera reviews on the internet!
This camera looks like a winner!
I love where cameras go.. Can't wait to upgrade my A73 in 2-3 years!
Oh man that skin color on the video looks fantastic, honestly I think it's better than canon
Agreed.
Wow, take that, Canon! Looks awesome! Biggest upset is the lack of focus tracking in video, same battery as before, no IBIS and no flippy screen (like X-T100). However, if you already enjoy the Fuji platform, this looks to be the best Fuji yet. Can't wait to check out the final review and get some sensor measurements to see the improvements with this BSI sensor.
true..!
I'm thinking.. This seems to be a brilliant camera. They really need a new battery , though..
Makes me wonder about the X-H2 .. which will probably give them a solid place way up there, on the market competition.
Have i mentioned that .. they need a new battery ?? :P
Jordan, nice job on the color grading of this video! Looks great.
YES, FINALLY THE HOLY GRAIL
It would be with ibis :D
I've handled a X-T2. From an ergonomic standpoint it was great. The grip was a lot better than the cheaper X-T20. With what looks like very nice video AF and 4k 60fps... wow! That seems like solid hybrid camera that doesn't sacrifice anything from the photo side to make it happen. Though, like you guys were saying, the fully articulating screen would have been preferred by a lot of people.
Jordan running at the camera is my favorite arthouse film of 2018.
One of the best looking reviews you have! Fuji for the win!
Did I just spot a “Beers and Cameras” shirt! Ok, I think we can be friends now haha! I can’t wait to get the XT3! Great job guys!
Love the way the lens gets smaller when Jordan shoots a close up of the ports!
This is very exciting. Thank you. I had some reservations and thought that full frame was the future. I was nonplussed by the Nikon and Canon offers, so, I’m going to double down on the Fuji. I preordered the XT3 and will no unreservedly invest in the Fuji. I just love the work you are doing. Who knew that Calgary and Seattle are the center of the photography world!
You guys are doing a fantasctic job of reviewing gear. I have no intention buying this camera, but I like to be informed about new upcoming products.
Autofocus looks amazing. How Jordan ran from left to right pretty fast and it kept up. The Eye autofocus is also very good! Beautifull 4K as well!
Can't wait to have these settings with IBIS in the X-H2 whenever that may come out. I think IBIS is the only thing missing to kill competition. But then again.. Fuji said it like half a year ago it would not get IBIS. Only X-H series get it. Beautifull review guys!
If they’ve fixed the reliability issues with this Model I’ll be straight on it..! Thanks for a great review guys ❤️
Buy the X-T3
I shall wait for the XH2
I had been so engrossed in EOS R news, I hadn't realized the X-T3 was imminent. Nice!
You guys are great. Thanks. Please stop complaining about the flippy screen. I love the screen as it is and hope they will never change it.
FYI, X-T2 does have boost mode that you can use WITHOUT GRIP. Please don't provide incorrect information and misguide users. Having said that you are not the only one... Many others have misunderstood this BOOST feature on X-T2 grip... Many think that you can get BOOST only with grip. that is not true. Even without grip yes through menus but you can turn high performance (BOOST) mode ON on X-T2. I was actually surprised to see that coming from you as I still regard you and few other youtubers at higher standard of knowledge and quality content. Thanks for another nice first impressions, video though!
Disappointing video specs though:
- 4K60 works for "approx 20min" (sounds like an "overheating" limit to me)
- 4K60 is cropped 1.18x
- video files are split at 4GB (haven't they heard of formatting SD cards with exFAT instead of FAT32?)
- 10bit video internally is 4:2:0 only
- HLG (HDR) not yet available (but they say will come by end of year firmware update, not sure if 4:2:0 follows HLG spec, I thought 4:2:2 had to be the HLG spec)
- no IBIS is no good for video and photo (means gimball compulsory for shots off tripod)
- battery life way too short means Battery grip is compulsory but goes through 5+ batteries in 1 days of video shooting.
- LCD is not very bright and does not flip to the side like the cheaper XT100 sadly (which rules out a lot of types of video shooting)
They seem to say H265 is available to be used for every framerate and resolution, is that correct? That would be very exciting to me. NX1 (of 5 years ago) was first to do H265 but wasn't RUclips compatible (also didn't have IBIS short video length limits due overheating and short battery life), Panasonic GH5 can only do a couple modes in H265 only like HLG 4K30 and 6K30. I think it'd be awesome to be able to film any framerate and resolution in H265, what are the H265 bitrates keeping the same quality compared with H264? Is it each time half the bitrate when using H265? This would be great and a feature I have asked for over 5 years if they deliver it correctly in a H265 that is compatible with RUclips direct uploading to save on 4K uploading bandwidth.
This is a photography centered camera with additional video capabilities (that's also the reason why there is no IBIS). You want a video centered camera? Wait for XH2...
@@kearress7350 I am waiting for sure. But I thought IBIS was very important for photography too. That it enables you to shoot sharper images at a stop or two stops better quality and brighter. IBIS for photography stabilizes any telephoto lens so you can take photos of things far away without needing a tripod. I am pretty sure that the lack of IBIS is a failure for photography too.
I am glad I am not the only one that loved the trash can joke! Although I do love both presenters, I do admit favoring the trash can guy. His knowledge, presentation and articulation are truly high class and a joy to watch. P.S. he really does not look like the trash can, I have never seen an oriental trash can!!!
Nice! This is the first Fuji camera that I actually consider to be interesting. Unfortunately the lack of IBIS is a deal-breaker for me, but I'm super excited about the next model in this line, if it has IBIS.
I just got the XT2.. I’m not gonna cry
Bah, looks like a great camera, and I really like the XH1, I think I will wait for the XH2, these features with the XH body would be superb.
Great first impressions. The X-T3 looks like such an awesome camera, with the only drawbacks I can think of being the lack of IBIS and the mediocre battery life. Fingers crossed Fuji addresses the both of them with the X-H2!
Man if it had IBIS I'd be all over this. I cherish stability more than 10-bit personally as I usually find 8-bits enough to push the colors where I need them to go, no intense grading, though of course I'd love that option as well.
XT3 + IBIS + Fully articulating screen and I’m sold.
Looks so far good for me. Glad they didn't change the screen hinge as a selfie screen is useless with an L bracket when you shoot landscapes (folds out the wrong way). Also glad they didn't change the battery form factor although I have two thoughts on that: 1, the X-H line needs a different bigger battery, 2, the X-T line should keep things same size but Fuji need to R&D a higher energy density to stop the complaints. Personally the battery life is no issue for what I shoot and I frequently beat the CIPA rating by a mile.
Nice review guys as always. Not convinced I need to upgrade from my X-T2 and X-H1 yet, but that auto focus is very appealing.
Love the Jordan "Running Bear" focus tests.
Jeez, every manufacturer has something new right now. What a time! Keeping you busy, I'm sure.
pjw2000 Leica added a level to the M10!
I should have listened to everyone and just simply waited for the X-T3 instead of the X-H1 or really I should have just got the damn Sony a7iii in the end there’s no reason I shouldn’t just make the move to FF.. the benefits are undeniable regardless of it being small improvements.
Fuji did thier homework more than well. Thx for the first review an I think its a good indicator what we can expect from the new model. Thanks.
IMHO IBIS only makes a difference with the XF90mm or for video when moving.
Battery life, I can live with it. I shot 12h weddings with two bodies and only 2 or 2 and a half Fujifilm official batteries. One trick is to turn the bodies off when not shooting (even for 30 sec) and disable rear LCD automaticly when your eye is in the EVF.
I am excited to upgrade from X-T2 to this camera but the main drawbacks you mentioned aren't things they can improve in a firmware update. (Battery life, flip-out LCD screen, and IBIS).
I'm a Fuji user (X-Pro-2) and must admit I'm underwhelmed. Incremental improvements at best. The same terrible battery life, no IBIS, and you still really need the battery grip to fully unlock it's potential. (The buffer will fill after one burst unless you have the grip) That brings it up to almost $1800 and that's just too close to the a7III to sway anyone but a diehard Fuji shooter. If you're an X-t1 shooter (and love it) this makes sense, I'm just not sure there aren't better options for those not already in the system. (FYI, I am 4 lenses into the Fuji system and still considering a switch to Sony) BTW, that garbage can was pretty lifelike. :-)
Don't go into the dark side
If I could afford the "transition" cost I'd already be there.
11:37 What an impressive presentation! Cheeky but also masterly.
I’m liking the retro shape and controls of this camera. It not quite enough for me to ditch my dslrs just yet but if I was after a back up or my x100s gives up I might go for this.
Another great review guys. I watch a lot of the RUclipsr camera channels, and I really think your reviews are the best and most watchable! Keep up the good work :)
If it had IBIS, it would be instant buy for me. Most of Fuji's primes are not stabilised.
You shaking bro?
I personally hate the side articulating screens. Happy that fuji kept their design.
Even though no IBIS. I'm still very excited for this camera.
Always watch your reviews very informative plus you both have a great sense of humor you make me smile at some of your comments. Great viewing thanks Chris.
Is it just me or does the video have a green hue? Not particularly surprised, as I used to often use Fuji's film for that very reason, slightly more green than my usual Kodak Gold. Also love seeing some cool city shots (the geometry of tall buildings against the sky). Nicely done.
Like to see a b=new Wooden Nichols. That last shot of Jordan running had quite the coquettish look.
Im still waiting for the x-pro 3 😪
Me too
Me 3
Will it be the GFXR?
Any idea or speculation of when they will release the x-pro 3?
For video it is amazing. Absolutely incredible.
*But for photography* ,are the improvements really make it worth upgrading to from an X-T2 for example?
now I want a XPRO3 with the new 4th Gen XTrans sensor
Such a beautiful camera in silver. Can't wait for this. And only $1500?
Perfect! So we then go search in some camera stores to buy again the X-T1 just to have some fun in the weekend and then The new super cool X-T3 from Monday to Friday for work! 😉
What kind of DP/camera operator uses auto-focus or needs a selfie-oriented screen on the back? For filmmaking purposes, the XT-3 is fantastic. You're going to be using manual focus, always pointing the camera forward (so you don't care about a flip screen), and most likely utilizing the f-log with an external recorder. I purchased this camera after being a tad bit disappointed with the newest Black Magic camera and it has blown me away. Can't wait to dig into the world of Fuji lenses.
Comparing Chris's face to a garbage can. I love y'all's relationship.
Great review. You guys are the best - very relaxed and informative in addition to working so well as a team.
At 5:37 you mention that it NOW has Dual UHS-II slots, but SO DID THE X-T2!
Thanks for the review. Definitely interested in this camera. Two things 1)the non flip out screen is very frustrating and maybe a deal breaker. 2) the video looked a little flat/uninspired(?) compared to your normal videos. Not terrible but a bit odd.
Looking back is seams that the X-T4 produced in reaction to this review / and its views.
It makes sense now, You left Camera store for DPR Review!
This leaves you with having a possible X-H2 coming with all the video features that was mentioned that will be needed. I think the X-T3 now is obviously more still photographer based but if you want to venture into video as well as an extra. Got to play with it early as well! (I'm a lucky dealer). I think video aspect the X-H2 is going to be crazy maybe and I believe a possible mini GFX is in the pipeline
"Garbage can and Chris' face look very similar" ... made my day :-D
Ronin-s + X-T3 will be super great for short films/music videos.
