Fujifilm X-T3 Review: Better Than The Sony A7III?

[@jasons4045]

I just got into camera photography. I'm glad that my first camera is a Fujifilm. I bought the XT20 as I can't afford the XT2 and XT3 yet. I have the 18-55 and 23 f2. Love them.

[@TECH360TV]

Congrats on your camera and enjoy snapping pics.

[@skorpio88]

That's great! I'm saving up for the Xt3 now and I'm gonna grab the 23mm as well.

got a6400,but gona upgrade to xt3, best aps rite now, video quality is soooooooooo pretty

[@Ron-vz1mp]

Camera choice is not about sensor size or quantity of megapixels, it’s about feeling and enjoying of using the whole system. This camera gives the feeling of enjoying photography.

[@TECH360TV]

Very true. Some of my favourite cameras to use aren’t spec heavy.

[@airgliderz]

Agree 100%.Fuji, especially the XT3 is the first manufacture to make the art and passion of photography fun again. Something Canon, Sony and Nikon suck at.

[@Ron-vz1mp]

Ziggi Mon this manufacturer gives you a choice of different body types: slr, rangefinder, gripless or with it, whatever you want.

[@airgliderz]

@Ziggi Mon gripless bodies?? Stupid unintelligent dslr fangirl comment. All Fuji caneras have good usefull grips, are you blind? Better yet they are light and small especially compared to hod awfull 35mm sized sensor cameras using old antique technolgy DSLR flappy mirrors, huge, subject imposing, heavy, ugly, hard to hold or carry for any length of time so call "FF" if marketing bull crap when full frame are really crop sensors of medium format. Sensor size Dr ie not matter except to those ego driven pixel peeping picture takers.

Loved the review. I’m just getting more into photography and I guess I will choose the Fujifilm xt3 instead of the a7iii. It just felt better in my hand. Instant love. Btw... a question that I don’t seem to find an answer too... How large can you print !? Can you print poster size and still have a good quality. I’m looking to shoot fine-art photography and would love to print my pics. Thanks 🙏 to anybody answering this. Mucho kudos. 🙌 btw... I’m not a pixel peeper nor do I care about full frame vs other. I believe that photography should just transmit emotions. It’s all in eye of the beholder.

Nice review! I’ve been using this camera professionally since it came out and I’m still blown away.

[@hoanly7064]

I have tried both fuji xt3 and sony a7iii. To be honest, I cannot choose between two of them because they all have pros and cons. I think choosing a camera depends on your needs, your budget and yourself too

[@dheevesh16]

The Fujifilm feels better in the hands than the Sony and to me seems fun to shoot with. Native Fujifilm lenses cost less than native Sony cameras. Image quality is similar to the A7 III as long as you’re not shooting in low light. The Fuji body is also cheaper. If these features are enough, then get the Fuji. But to me, the Sony A7 III is my favourite camera nonetheless. Native lenses are indeed expensive. But Sony fits a full frame sensor in a body similar in size to the XT3. As a result, low light performance is extremely good (and I love shooting low light in an era where in day light, there is too little difference between smartphone camera quality and pro camera quality). Dynamic range is very high in the A7 III - I rarely find myself having to shoot multiple photos and merge them. And I find it very fun to shoot with, although I would love it to have as much of a mechanical feel as the Fuji.

[@IguanaFilmArts]

I will be using the A7SII alongside a Fuji XT-3. The lowlight and IBIS of the A7SII is usefull in situations the XT3 can't be useful in. I would use the XT3 70% of the time though, it's that good.

Why do you recommend the XF 16-55mm over the kit XF 18-55mm lense? Please explain in terms that would be understandable to someone who's never owned a camera, only a smartphone. (I'm not the only person thinking of getting this for their first camera lolol)

[@waleran2000]

Nice review and great video. I own and XT3 and agree with you but only one thing i think you are totally wrong. The "Kit" lens 18-55 is a really great lens. either for photo or video. And you're wrong about maximum aperture. Is a 2.8 - 4. Cheers.

[@luischaves4120]

Maybe he was referring to the other "kit lens" for fuji bodies. The 16-55 3.5-5.6

What Luis said. I have the lens and it's awesome. All the Fujinon lenses are awesome, for that matter. XF and GF.

You can handle the problem with the "nose tipping autofocus" with an option to set a smaller size of the touch display (while looking through the viewfinder).

Yes, and as mentioned it can be rectified but the fact The Eye piece is very close to the screen is something that can’t be fixed

Oh Dude - you are a legend. You are one of the only testers who has ever called out that crappy, imposter kit lens for what it really is!

Wasn't until I got the gorgeous 16-55 that I realised what a quality zoom should be like. Great call out and thanks for that!

I've tried my friend's XT3 and it is a great camera! Not denying that at all. But.........better than the A7III? In my opinion, absolutely not! Better autofocus and tracking, better in low light, and the image quality is amazing, not "decent" as you say. There are down sides to the A7III as there is with every camera but for me, having used both and an owner of two A7III's, I'd pick the A7III ten times out of ten. The XT3 is not that far behind though and a great camera for anyone to enjoy! Fujifilm is definitely making a statement that they are a force to be reckoned with!

Nicholas Kellingley my sentiments exactly. Sony has such a sterile, “clinical” look. I didn’t know how else to put it. I debated between the Sony a7 and Fuji xt1 when I got my first mirrorless. I disliked the Sony look in spite of its full-frame capability. I now shoot on an xt3 and love it.

If you want a camera for photography then it’s different. The XT3 is a fantastic camera. Fast autofocus, a number of great APS-C lenses, but image quality compared to the CL isn’t as good. The CL is compact, great image quality especially with the 35 1.4. For many it’s as good as the M10. The 35 is also a “reference” lens. Shoot wide open and enjoy some beautiful bokeh with your subject razor sharp. Autofocus isn’t as good as Fujifilm though so keep that in mind.

[@TECH360TV]

Sorry you felt that way. This is not a commercial for the XT3. As mentioned the battery grip is necessary or extra batteries for all day filming and photography. Low light is comparable to other cameras, but the lens has a lot to do with that. Faster lens produces better low light shots.

[@qfudgedoggy]

I really like the old school dials on this camera to change the settings much better than the menu driven interface Sony utilizes for their cameras (I currently have an RX V100 and I dont like that aspect of it) .

[@felixtheengine]

Thanks for the video. I came for the 200mm! I would not skip the "kit lens". It is excellent performance for the price when purchased with the body and blows other kit lenses that I have used away. It is also the least expensive way to get XF OIS if you want to get going with handheld video. I prefer the images from the older primes over the f2s and particularly love the 35 1.4 as a walk around. But I dont get to play in the rain with it. I wonder if the issue you had with tracking on the 200 had more to do with having face detection on (at least in the clip of the karts you showed)? I know my XT3 can sometimes get a little wonky when there are no faces (without helmets) in the scene. Why are you converting aperture when discussing FF equivalence. It sounds wrong and people are going to get grumpy.

[@TECH360TV]

Thanks for watching. Tracking with the 200 was difficult I believe due to the lens being too Long for the track with the teleconverter on it. I tried many different modes before settling on the one in the video. This was user error 💯. No knowing the track a 100+ would be much better. I shot with the kit lens but didn’t find it outstanding. Perhaps on video it’s better but it was okay only. I feel a good kit lens should be fast enough for night and day photos. As for the converting of numbers, some don’t like it, but there is a difference from full frame.

For the SLR styled Fuji cameras, I still enjoy using my X-H1 over my X-T3. There is a "feel" to the H1 that I cannot get with the T3 and I thoroughly love the H1's shutter mechanism. Once I got the 16-55, I started to wonder why I did not get that lens sooner. In the process, I have all the 1.x primes so I guess that is a bonus for waiting so long to get the 16-55. :p I think you needed to spend more time on the tracking AF. When I use the T3 with a selected wide tracking area (compared to what appeared as single focus point) and use one of the tracking presets I can normally get a majority of action shots I'm trying to capture.

Hi Martin thanks for the comment. Haven’t tried the H1 yet but perhaps in the future. As for the tracking, the Lens was far too long so I had to change the focus point to work correctly. User error 💯. Thanks for watching. Much appreciated

Is the Fuji better than the Sony? Personally I don’t like the analog style dials. Shot film for 40 years and I’m sick of them. Don’t get me wrong I think the Fuji is a great camera but it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. I went from Canon FF to Sony FF and I like the advantages of FF so aps-c is not going to cut it. I do think the GFX series looks very interesting however. Comparing the Fuji and Sony is like apples and oranges to me. If you compare this camera to say the Sony a6400 that would be more like it. The focusing on the a6400 is pretty hard to beat though. I did enjoy your video and presentation but I’m not sold on what camera is “better”. After all it’s the photographer that makes the magic happen.

[@TECH360TV]

Appreciate the reply and understand your points. I also prefer full frame but enjoy the versatility the XT3 offers for the price. Up to 30 Fps burst mode, film profiles (some like this some don’t), better 4K recording etc. As I said in the video, the A7III does a lot of things right, but I enjoyed the feel and usability of the Fujifilm more. Yes and I agree with your last sentence 💯

Why fuji user compare this camera with a ff one? You shouldn’t be doing this comparition with a crop sensor one?

[@thomassiegers3007]

Can you use Nikon lenses on it with af

[@deputydd4364]

Hi - I love shooting my XT3 - I have access to an A7iii as well. Both are awesome but I actually enjoy the Fuji more. However on your go kart section you mention focus tracking - but you are shooting in AFS not AFC (at least on the video shown) so it doesn't do moving object focus tracking in that AFS mode. AFC would have tracked the kart much better.

[@TECH360TV]

It was having an issue due to the lens being too Long for the track so I had to switch.

[@grumblekin]

A7RIII is a fantastic camera. Congrats

[@pereirakelvin67]

Yes will be buying this fuji after all, the sony a7iii is my 1st choice of upgrade but it is not made in Japan that why i switch to Fujifilm camera TX3. Agreed with you on that len 16-55mm f2.8 my kind of shooting range for APSC.

[@JCANPetros]

How do you feel it compares to the A7RIII? Which would you say is better and why?

[@TECH360TV]

A7RIII IQ is very impressive especially the dynamic range. I wouldn’t compare that to the XT3 as they are different cameras really. I’ve gotten some great images from the Sony when paired with the right lenses.

[@sunpromises3806]

I found the the information on the 18-55 misleading as many other people here. Especially considering the price, the 18-55 is a beautiful piece of glass and will make 90% of the people very happy. Of course the 16-55 is superior in many ways, but its also a lot pricier. Well, it has become quite obvious for me that you target those of us that are willing to spend thousands of dollars and I guess we shouldn't be expecting budget tips from you. But saying that the "kit lens", which is the XF18-5mm f2.8-4, is not a good deal, is flat out wrong for the majority of people. Also, as I'm reading through the comments with your replies, you seem to justify yourself about the kit lens. Just a tip: it's not as bad as you think to admit once in while when you're wrong. Have a good day!

[@TECH360TV]

I do admit when I’m wrong but these are my opinions. You may disagree with me and that’s fine. I’m open to discussion but because I believe in something different than you doesn’t require me to admit I’m wrong. There is not right or wrong answer in photography. Everyone has their own thoughts etc.

[@sunpromises3806]

​@@TECH360TV I agree with you on that one. Yet I still think that for the majority of people the 18-55 2.8-4 kit lens is a great recommendation. But then I guess we agree to disagree. But let's not forget that we're all here for the love of Fuji, so enjoy shooting!

[@TECH360TV]

I agree we are here because we like Fuji and what they are doing. Reason sometimes I recommend higher priced lenses (not always but sometimes) is that time and time again I get questions about why do I have so much noise in my photos, why are my pics in Low light not so good, why aren’t my pictures sharp. Sometimes this is user error and sometimes they choose the least expensive lens only to find out that it limits how they want to shoot and capture images. The XT3 isn’t the best with Low light performance and some Complain about this. So I recommend the f2.8 to save them money in the long run. If they buy a cheap lens and try to sell it they can loose a lot in the process and end up spending more money than the higher priced one. There are exceptions to the rule but this happens a lot. In terms of budget friendly lenses I love the Z Mount 1.8 lenses. They are sharp, great bokeh and great colors for affordable prices. I also feel the same about the Sony 1.8 lenses too.

[@mikecullis8401]

Just spent a day photographing Rallycross with the XT3 and the 200mm f2. I find the shutter button to be too close to the overall slim downed body. Unlike most other cameras the shutter release is not located further forward and on a separate bulb part of the camera moulding. In my view this detracts from the general handling of the camera. The pricing of the 200mm is just £1,000 less than the Holy Grail of all lenses - the Canon 300mm f2.8. I don't understand the reasoning behind this - and of course the Bokeh can't match this on a FF camera body. The slimmed down camera body coupled with such a large lens is a questionable mix.

[@bat2348]

I noticed with many of your shots you weren’t shooting with the 180 degree shutter rule, I’m assuming it’s because you were trying to compensate for the lack of light but without stabilization, it doesn’t pan out well even with the steadiest of hands. I was tempted by fujifilm when this camera released but I like to be versatile and be able to shoot in any condition and keep my images clean and without grain as much as I can and that means going full frame and I can’t go back now. Thanks for the review !

[@radimpalus]

If You ask if the Fujifilm XT-3 is better than the SONY A7III - that is hard to judge. Each camera has its streghts and asking such questions is a bit tricky. But if You really want to compare the color science, sensitivity, sharpness, etc, You can look at the comparometer at Imaging Resource and the answer is clear. SONY A7III is sharper at every ISO and delivers far more detail, even if it has little less megapixels. There are Canon cameras, like the 5D MkIV. which has much more megapixels and still it delivers less details than the SONY A7III. And the noise levels? SONY is better. And the color rendition? I think both are excellent and none of them is really better. That is my experience.

[@Eraser2k6]

Switched after ten years from Canon to Fuji. And I love it. The photos from fuji all better than from my Canon APS C cameras.Canon has missed the last few years too much. But the lightroom workflow sucks

[@alexbpunkt1875]

[@Cagey7531]

You really need to quit converting aperture, as that only matters in terms of DOF ... it is the same no matter the format when it comes to light gathering. SO for night shooting, 1.4 is 1.4 on APSC or FF ... gets really boring watching reviewers state the 'equivalence' every 2 minutes - also do more research, the Fuji 'kit' lens is 2.8 - 4 and is very decent

[@luischaves4120]

[@mickyfinn9331]

its a shame that reviewers of the X-T3 lack a basic understanding of how ISO is calibrated. ISO is not a true measurement in the sense its an industry standard, but is relative, Canon, Sony and Nikon use the REI standard and Fuji use the SOS standard that is considered more objective. When these standards are aligned the Fuji's IOS is relatively higher at a given IOS than the other manufacturers meaning the Fuji's ISO performance is nearly identical (approximately within half a stop) in performance vs the Sony. Again, this is the case of camera makers using dodgy settings to fool the public into believing that a camera has an high ISO when in fact the improvement is in the markings on the dial rather than actual sensor improvement.

[@TECH360TV]

Thanks for the comment, but also realise that what you wrote here won’t be understood by most who just come to watch and learn if the camera is good or not. We keep things simple here. There are other channels love to get into the math and calculations. We don’t here at this time. On a side note, Merry Christmas!

[@robert7622]

@Art Sorry you are the only one miss leading people. Total light is what counts. Its why a speed booster increases the f stop by 1 stop when used on a Fuji. Its also why a tele-converter decrease the F stop... www.dpreview.com/articles/5365920428/the-effect-of-pixel-and-sensor-sizes-on-noise You could also just compare the images, its obvious. I have all sized sensor cameras including a MFT.

[@AcidicDelusion]

@@robert7622 the Fuji 56 1.2 lens let's in the same amount of light as a full frame 1.2 lens.

[@robert7622]

@@AcidicDelusion So why if I stick a full frame F1.2 on to my fuji using a Speedbooster adapter does the exposure jump up to around F0.8! much brighter then a fuji APSC F1.2? the Full frame lens doesn't let any more light in the front when attached to the Speed booster does it! it just condenses all the light on to a samller sensor! Thus a Full Frame F1.2 must let in more TOTAL LIGHT!

[@mornekombrink]

Robert light amount per square inch is the same, using a speed booster obviously condenses the light.

[@robert7622]

@@mornekombrink Yes! Now what do you think would happen if i got a fuji apsc F1.2 and put that on a Full Frame camera using a full frame teleconverter? * ie if i was to spread all the light from a APSC lens on to a larger full frame sensor? The amount of light per square inch would go down! It would go down to that of a full frame F1.8! It would give me exaclty the same noise and depth of field of a F1.8 full frame. This is exactly why Full frame have 1 stop less noise then APSC and 2 stops less noise then M43. and its accurate to say F1.8 Full Frame equals F1.2 APSC and F0.9 M43.
