7 Reason Why YOU Should BUY the FUJIFILM X-T3

[@FlorianFrickel]

Who still shoots with the x-t3 or is planning to get one 📷

[@mojtabamortezaee8814]

is it good for the first camera?

[@FlorianFrickel]

@@mojtabamortezaee8814 the xt3 will be for sure a very powerful camera as a first camera and will be also future prove for another couple of years. However on the other side it might got specs which some people don’t need as a first camera. But then the majority of cameras are good first cameras nowadays. The question is what you looking for to shoot on subjects what’s the toppings you want to shoot a d what you perhaps need in a Camera or you don’t need. Overall I say it will be a good first camera and keeps you happy for a while. I own mine now a couple of years and still love it for photography

[@Metal_Vistas]

As the owner of an XT2 and an XT3, I have to say I prefer the T2. It is a different sensor and processor combination which handles low light better. Because I tend to shoot in low light situations a lot, I find I get cleaner high ISO files from my T2. Granted the XT3 has more video functions, but that's not an issue for me.

[@ridderus]

I bought 1 some month ago as an upgrade to my XT1. For me the XT3 is a better choice then the XT4...

[@FlorianFrickel]

@@ridderus I loved my xt1 back in the days, I do prefer the xt3 for photography and the xt4 for video.

[@manaspratimpathak]

I've been shooting with the XT3 for about a year now. I've used Sony A74, Canon 5D Mark IV, Nikon D750 and all for professional shoots, but for my personal work I love my Fuji. Only Fuji makes pro APSC cameras, barring Sony's 6000 series. I prefer APSC for its smaller size, which comes in handy for travel and wildlife photography, and I prefer Fuji's colours to Sony's. The XT3 was a no-brainer for me and I've been absolutely loving it!

[@FlorianFrickel]

Used to love my xt3 as well. Plenty of great shots captured with it. I agree with your comments. Apsc got benefits over full frame- full frame got benefits over apsc

[@ronaldbingling2]

NIce content bro! i'm from jamaica purchased my xt3 in early 2021 and got my viltrox 56mm f1.4 in november. Loving it, hoping to gain more experience and starting my journey in photography with the fuji family : )

[@FlorianFrickel]

Cheers mate, glad you like the content. You got a nice combo tho. Haven’t tried the viltrox 56mm yet, but definitely have too

[@GarretGrayCamera]

I love the XT3. I found one good add to it is to add a grip. I added the Small Rig full cage with grip to it and it's great. I always thought the camera was too small but adding the grip and some solid protection around it makes all the difference. It kind of elevates the camera to something even more than it is.

[@FlorianFrickel]

Yea I agree the fujifilm body’s aren’t necessarily the most comfys to hold and definitely need some sort of extension hand or battery grip however one of fujifilms best ergonomics on cameras been definitely the xs10 with the grip so.

[@CharlesDunkley]

A fantastic camera. I finally upgraded from my old X-T1 to a new X-T3 in late November. I'm loving everything about this camera. It's everything I loved about the X-T1, improved across the board. I do miss that X-Trans II sensor though. The X-Trans IV does perform much better in a lot of situations, but that old II sensor has a certain magic. But overall, the upgrade was worth every penny. As you mentioned, the video from the X-T3 is fantastic. The newer sensor lets in so much more light even at the same camera settings as the X-T1. Filming talking head video on the X-T3 is a pleasure, and a big step up in performance and quality from the X-T1. All that said, I've been enjoying your channel since it was recommended to me by KZbin. Lots of great content.

[@FlorianFrickel]

I owned all 4-XT series started with the x-t1 and now the x-t4. I loved the xt1, the x-t1 was something special tho,probably also because it kick started a lot of photography for me so definitely some good memories there, even tho I found the 16mp pretty good for a long time. I enjoy using the xt3 for photography and video if I’m only behind the camera for head talking shoots or vlogging etc I do enjoy having the flip screen from the xt4. Thanks Charles appreciated, you enjoy the content and you joined the journey

[@eddyblanco7210]

Great video, Florian my man. As to my **7 Reasons I choose Fujifilm X-T3** 1. As of now/currently, I have been experienced in the art of photography for 30 years. The lot of it with 35mm film, which I still shoot still photography with & Fujifilm's stock is my favorite. 2. While the lot of my years, I have been a Canon native user. I analog bodies and lenses as well as digital equipment in both aps-c crop and full frame. So when going mirrorless, before Canon redefined their mirrorless bodies. Fujifilm took that nod. 3. Ergonomics of the camera body. Because Fuji is used to it's market & clientele. They take notes and know what their users/buyers need in equipment. The look plus feel in the hand, along with the buttons and knobs are all callbacks of the past. 4. Fujifilm film simulation; I can change the look of the media I capture, be it stills or video. Look online and their are forums and pages with set recipes/settings to get your media to look like other films from actual stock. 5. Not really new, as all other camera bodies & systems do it, but: Lens Adapter. I use my collection of Canon FD mount vintage lenses with the X-mount. Bokeh, color, clarity and richness are as distinctive as the different lenses I use with the X-T3. 6. Lightweight and extremely travel friendly, wherever your trip(s) take you. Sure the battery isn't as good as my Canon 5D line of bodies. But it works as great as I need it to. 7. Fujifilm goes hand in hand & works well in tandem with my Canon gear. While one can work predominantly with stills. The other can be the designated video camera. Nikon, Sony and Canon's full frame cameras I am not missing nor see a use in when I have one already with DSLR. I do see myself picking up a GFX100 for digital/mirrorless medium format shooting. With Fuji, it is like I never left and can hop right back on the bike to ride on.

[@FlorianFrickel]

Hi eddy Thanks for watching. I see your points and agree with them. I used to own the gfx50r back in the days used to love the format of medium format the resolution etc. unfortunately at the time been the medium format system didn’t fit really into the way how I shot. But could see myself picking one up again the future. Right now with improved af etc. But it’s all a bit of money point too. Even so the medium format system isn’t really much more expensive then a ff format nowadays

[@rogerwalton8160]

Interesting to see shots of my home city, York - shots that I have also taken on my X-T3!

Thx mate, finnaly I have a reason to hve this stuff early year :D

[@kevinlynch8614]

Great video, I shoot with an X-T2, which I think is still a phenomenal camera in 2022, but will very likely part exchange it for the X-T3. My only issue is your battery recommendation; there's no way I'd trust a third party brand that's effectively less than £10 in my camera when you can buy a used Fuji original in 'as new' condition for only £24 off sites like MPB. I've heard way too many horror stories of cheap after-market batteries swelling up inside the camera...

[@FlorianFrickel]

I’m sure the xt2 is still a fantastic camera and as much fun to shoot with like every other. I see your point regarding the batteries. I been obviously lucky so far that I didn’t have had those issues.

[@Bocsaphoto]

No modern lithium ion battery will swell up unless you don't take care of your batteries. That means don't overcharge them, don't keep them in a hot area, etc. If your camera feels warm to the touch then take a break. The same li-ion tech is in our phones, computers, laptops, headphones, yet we still trust them. All comes down to battery health.

[@andrewknowles6731]

I love my XT3 for landscape, I had the choice of the XT3 or 4 when upgrading from the XT1 but the screen articulation on the XT3 was worth more to me than the IBIS. I am excited about this years new cameras though, my only reason to go XH2 or XT5 will be higher resolution for cropping and zooming without having to get longer glass, if we dont get that I will stick I think.

[@FlorianFrickel]

I agree I love the xt3 for photo. Wonder what they do with the xh2 would be definitely interesting for me for the video side of things tho but also what they are planning with the xt5- I really hope they improve the af even so if you don’t always need af in video and you work a lot with mf too

[@tayeshotthat]

yessuh I love mine fuji xt-3 bro

[@LifeofHum]

Thank you for the video ❤

[@FlorianFrickel]

Thanks for watching

[@paternocappelli8706]

Waiting for the XH2 to release in May, then maybe the XT3 will go further down in price a bit. Currently shooting with XH1 and XT20. Looking forward to that 10-bit color and 4K 60fps

[@FlorianFrickel]

Yea definitely curious what the xh2 will look like beside all the rumours etc.. price for the xt3 will drop for sure. 10bit might be nice to have but to be quite frankly don’t think it matters much for KZbin - they compress your video anyway

[@mucolataa]

Which one should i buy for video? A6500 or xt-3. Street photo and %80 video. (A6500 with 18-105 f4) (Xt-3 with 18-55 2.8-4)

[@FlorianFrickel]

Both cameras a pretty much capable of delivering what you’re looking for. For the main factor of street photography I would go with the xt3 for the form factor and quick access of dails for changing setting however %80 video involved with the option of ibis from the 6500 might be beneficial. It comes also down to your budget tho. The wide aperture of 2.8 from the 18-55 can come handy but then the zoom of the 18-105 can be handy too. This question is hard to answer. Perhaps a list of pro and contra might be helpful. See what needs you got see what settings are important for you what does the camera needs to have for your style of shooting. And go from there. Hope this answer helps somewhat. If I’d be in this poison that’s probably what I would do

[@mucolataa]

@@FlorianFrickel thx for answer. Have a good day

[@ErikObjectenco]

[@BoomingVisuals]

I went from the 6500 to the xt3. Trust me the only thing that I miss was the ibis. The image/colors on the xt3 are superior. Slow-mo on the a6500 was so soft. I watch my a6500 videos and they look horrible far as image quality compared to my footage now.

[@realMartinHamilton]

@@FlorianFrickel but why not get a good gimbal instead of ibis. Although a good gimbal median price is $300. But the shake issues are solved probably better than using ibis right? What are your thoughts? Love this video. The Fuji colors look better than Sony to me.

[@georgeh738]

I really like the look and feel of the Fuji, but in terms of value, I recently bought an Olympus OM-D Em1 mkii, and the Ibis, lens choice, menus, size and price, all suggest I made the right choice. But I do like the look of the XT3...

[@FlorianFrickel]

Happy shooting mate 📷

[@donnabartolome873]

How about the little brother X-T30 in 2022?

[@FlorianFrickel]

For sure the x-t30 first version or even mark 2 is a fantastic camera and will fullfill your photography needs in one way or another. It purely comes down to what are your interest and subjects to shoot

[@samigeography]

I have fujifilm xt3 very good and professional camera but the problems battery, and no auto stabilsation

[@FlorianFrickel]

If you got the battery grip and with 3 batteries the xt3 last quite a while tho. I don’t feel the need for auto stabilisation within the xt3 but that’s personal preference

[@Bocsaphoto]

IBIS is good for low light hand held photography, but degrades any video footage because of the very obvious and nauseating warping effect.

[@HeirOfGlee]

I can't with Fujifilm based on the mobile app. I'm a one woman show I take my own pictures and even with lumix dinky app I can focus and see what I'm doing. I wish fuji was better with their app or they would win hands down

[@FlorianFrickel]

I agree in the point of the app is a bit crap however it seems they done some work on it and it works better then it used to be still not perfect but it’s somewhat of an improvement.

[@BrunoPortolan]

Do you recommend this camera for 4k video recording or is there another one in the same category?

[@FlorianFrickel]

This camera is more then capable of recording 4K footage in different frame rates. I started my filming on a xt3 before I moved to the xt4

[@BrunoPortolan]

@@FlorianFrickel It's amazing 👏👏 I have a fujifilm xt 200 but it shoots in 4k only 29fps and limited to 15 min. and always turns off by heating. I'll see your other videos and migrate to xt3. Thanks

I’m sure you wont regret it and will quite enjoy shooting with the xt3. Thanks for watching mate 👍

[@marcobutz3950]

Hi Florian, danke für das Video. Sehr gut! Was sin dein Einstellungen für möglichst natürliche Farben?

[@FlorianFrickel]

Hi Marco. Danke dir fûrs reinschauen. Also normaler weise 99% fotografiere ich raw um die Flexibilität zu haben wenn ich die Bilder bearbeite. Und entscheide dann beim bearbeiten wie die farb Kombination aussehen soll oder wie stark, Wenn ich mal jpeg fotografiere dann normalerweise standard picture profile. Du kannst die farbstäkre runter stellen in camera wenn du willst oder einfach Farbe beim bearbeiten wegnehmen wenn du das Gefühl hast die sind zu knallig. Andersweitig fuji Film Simulation je nach Geschmack was mir gefallt am tag.

[@pie1337]

Second hand xt1 for 200 usd. Should I buy it?

[@FlorianFrickel]

If the camera is im good condition and you don’t need any higher specs then probably it would be an option. And would deliver still good picture quality

[@holystarmusiccreation3782]

hii bro, i am from india plz suggest me best lens for videography for xt3

[@FlorianFrickel]

Hey mate. If you’re on a budget and looking for a all around lens the 18-55mm is doing a great job and works well with the xt3. If money is no concern the 16-55/f2.8 is probably a great lens to go for. And offers a good zoom range and a consistent aperture as well. If you need a good prime lens for separation then either all the f2 lenses are good fast autofocus and weather sealed or the newer prime lenses such as 18mm/f1.4 23mm/f1.4 33mmf1.4 will do a good job. Also they got a new focus motor and should provide a nice autofocus if needed

[@holystarmusiccreation3782]

Thats a fantastic Deal you stroke there 👍

[@amermeleitor]

I freaking love Fuji, but because i don´t have enough money i stay with Canon, used lenses are a lot cheaper

[@FlorianFrickel]

Hey don, I see your point however if we compare fujifilm to canon both new products then Fuji is still cheaper then canon so. However used lenses right now the mark one versions can be quite a bit cheaper. Usually I try to get second hand or used lenses too. Just to safe some bucks tho

[@blackentrepreneur244]

I just picked up a used Fuji XT3, it looks brand new, functions new but the lens mount is snug (when you turn the lens and hear the click). Would that be a deal breaker? That's the only draw back

[@FlorianFrickel]

Not at all, it just tell you basically the the lens is connected to the camera body and isn’t worn out and in good condition

[@ابنبابل-ذ1ج]

Which one is best xt3 or sx10 in fotograf shots?

[@FlorianFrickel]

If you want a hybrid for photo video I’d go with the xs10 for the ibis and the handling of the camera the grip of the xs10 is very nice. However purely photos I’d go with the xt3 for the tilt screen and the ergonomics. All dails on top of the camera easy to adjust settings etc

[@lewispears949]

Question with this camera as I’m a beginner I want a camera to take photos of views and sunsets and people in sun rests would this camera be perfect for that or do I need something else

[@FlorianFrickel]

No camera is perfect. However as a overall camera you’d be probably quite happy with the camera itself. Compact enough to carry around and the image quality you get out of the camera is good

[@gm3862]

Great video. Would you recommend this camera over the Canon EOS RP with the kit lenses?I'm a completely beginner and will be shooting talking heads KZbin videos . I have seen other recommendations to start with something cheaper , but i have noticed that most people will upgrade to a better camera after a few months , so in my view , I would prefer to upgrade now , but not really sure what to get. Any feedback is appreciated. Many thanks.

[@FlorianFrickel]

Thanks for watching mate. I do See benefits of buying the RP over the xt3. But I also see the xt3 got benefits over the RP. I personally don’t feel the RP is necessarily an Upgrade over the xt3. The xt3 got. higher video specs compare to the RP. However the rp is Full Frame what is important to certain people got. bettet 3rd party options on glass got a flip screen which is Handy for filming yourself. And probably even got a bit better Autofocus then the xt3. If i would buy a camera again I would write down what sort of features I need and what lenses I’d like to have. Fujifilm is Limited at present in their Lens selection such as a 10-24 which is equivalent to a 16-35 but doesn’t got a f2.8 option only f4 option. Which perhaps changes later on in this year however. It’s probably a good idea to have a list with all the features you looking for and the lenses you need and are available and then choose your camera body towards this. Hope this helps a bit. Buying the Right camera/Brand Can be a bit of a tricky one tho Generally speaking I can recommend the Fuji xt3 but I think for certain aspects the xt3 falls a little short. Probably the biggest hustle for Video Is bot having a flip screen. You can add a mirror on top of your camera but I can imagine you might get fed up with it at some point

[@gm3862]

@@FlorianFrickel Thank you so much for the thoughtful reply. I think the flip screen is a big one that i should consider . Many thanks again. Keep making these great videos !!!

[@zacx6970]

1 main reason why you should buy it. It has the same features of XT4 without IBIS. 🤣

[@forrestkenworthy2357]

I am considering the x-t3, but the x pro 2 is also in the running. Anyone have any thoughts on that choice?

[@FlorianFrickel]

It’s really depends on what you looking for. And what design might suits you more, ergonomics feel of camera and use. Xt3 is the more advanced camera from both of them. Really comes down to what you need or want

[@forrestkenworthy2357]

@@FlorianFrickel thank you. I'm looking for a minimalist 2-3 lens set up for travel/street, zero video, and a tactile shooting experience. It seems like both would accomplish this, just wonder how many extraneous features I'd have on the t3 vs how many "quirks" due to age on the pro2.

[@FlorianFrickel]

You definitely got more video features on the xt3 and probably the autofocus is perhaps a bit faster but if video isn’t a concern for you then the xpro2 probably will still do a nice job right now if you invest into the right lenses tho

[@itacatv2146]

I don’t understand why people can’t tell the truth. Fuji autofocus sucks so much that it can’t differentiate between a human face and a tree. My xt3 keeps seeing faces in tree branches. That’s so bad that it’s funny. The 18-55 is (mostly) bad. Some people seem to have good copies, but on mine the whole left side is soft.

[@TheJcGlobal]

M1 mark iii o X-T3

[@FlorianFrickel]

It’s not just a question about the brand. Is a question what do you need from a camera in terms of specs and performance. I don’t want to say one is better then the other. Perhaps make a pro and contra list in terms of price adm features you looking for but also what is important the accessories you might need such as lenses, flash etc… Hope this helps. Yes I can recommend the xt3 but this is purely based of my own personal experience over years with it

[@samsen3965]

I don't need any more reason to buy one. I need one on sale at the Right Price!

[@samsen3965]

​@@FlorianFrickel Your words come like music to my ears! and I'm keeping my fingers crossed meanwhile. Honestly and I think all the current smart owners of xT3 should consider this time as the best time to turn their camera body into cash and invest on the new arriving one, no matter what it is. I have lost always BIG, when waiting any longer for the announcement time and at times, for availitilty time of the new item. In fact my cabinet is filled by many high-end several generation older cameras that worth a fortun when I paid for, and didn't let them go in time, when they still hold a sensible price tag and absolutely can't let them go right now, when they worth only dirt price! My only hope is that my wife doesn't give up on me and leave me at this stage of life!!! 😁

[@FlorianFrickel]

I’m sure your wife will stay and support the crazy addiction of yours 😂but I see what you mean and in certain ways I do agree, yes of course it always easier to trade in when the new camera is Released. In my Case I’m waiting i know I will loose out on some cash but their is always some way to make it up or borrow from family or similar. Im curious what fujifilm will bring out tho. To keep up with Sony canon Nikon and co. Of course it’s not all about the camera or gear but having photography as a hobby well we all know it’s a bloody expensive hobby tho. But the AF definitley needs a boost for Fuji that’s for sure.

[@lumberjack3008]

AF isn't great at all, as far as the unreliable face/eye AF and the almost useless tracking is concerned. Face/eye AF easily gets irritated by hair, glasses, movement of the head snd even if it signlas "in focus", you couldn't trust it, especially when shooting wide open. Tracking during a sports event? The camera loses track in most cases almost immediately.

[@Bocsaphoto]

New firmware fixes that btw

[@philipandreicuk5356]

I bought a fuji X-T3 in 2020 and it was the worst camera that I have ever bought. The old East German film cameras were far better made than his thing. I won't go into all the faults it has but the biggest one for me was that this camera shut down on me 7 times in less than 5,000 activations and had to go back to fuji for repair under warranty as it was less the 8 months old. In 40 years of owning and using Nikons I have never had one fail on me. So I sold this Chinese made piece of junk and bought a Nikon Z6II and have never looked back

[@davegarciajr191]

aww planning to buy this week. is there any reason why it shut down or they find out when they repair it?

[@philipandreicuk5356]

@@davegarciajr191 Google it and you will find out that my camera was NOT an isolated incidence, the X-T3 has a reputation for shutting down. Now sometimes taking the batteries out and re inserting them can clear it but other times it has to go back to Fuji. I found this camera has so many other faults like the battery life is appalling. Shots in low ambient light were too contrasty, Vivd mode was too oversaturated, To hold it confidently you need a battery grip and no matter how much I tightened it there was always a slight movement when I picked the camera up, something NO Nikon has ever done.The front dial that changes the modes from continues, single and manual is in the wrong place and I was always accidentally changing it to manual losing so many action shots.I did SO want to love this camera as it was lighter than my Nikons and the lenses are so nice to use but the shutting down was something I could not tolerate. The answer to your question is that Fuji did not say why the camera shut down they just repaired it under warranty. I am just relating MY experience with the X-T3 and maybe I had a bad camera but I was concerned about the longevity and reliability issues say 2 or 3 years down the line, for instance my D500 has 40,000 clicks on it and just performs day in day out and so does my D3S. No problems as yet with my Z6ii either
