FUJIFILM X-T3 Mirrorless Digital Camera with 16-80mm Lens Kit (Black)

Great image quality in a perfect form factor
A quick note about my background. I earned a living as a professional photographer for 10 years while living in NYC. I started with film cameras and made the switch to digital in 2002 when I purchased a Fuji S2 Pro which at the time had the best resolution of the major brands and built on a Nikon N90 body. Going from a Canon film camera to the S2 Pro was like going back into the stone age. The viewfinder was maybe 85% and it was a cropped sensor ... Show More

Great Camera Except for Initial Product Quality Problems
Recently I bought a FUJIFILM X-T3 with MHG-XT3 grip to compliment my micro four thirds (M43) travel photography gear. A couple years ago I switched from full frame Nikon (D810/D750) to the much more compact and extremely capable M43 equipment for travel. This change enabled me to always carry 2 camera bodies and 3-4 lenses on international trips with restrictive carry-on size and weight limitations. Rave reviews on the X-T3 and FUJIFILM lenses co...

X-T3 times two
This may be a long-winded review, but please bear with me. About two years ago I purchasedFuji's X-T2 and a solid selection of Fuji lenses. I loved that camera for the retro styling, light weight, and easily accessible controls. Paired with Fuji's f/1.4 and f/2.8 glass lenses, I did get truly beautiful images, many of which were turned into large metal prints. But I got some real duds, too. And mistakenly I blamed the camera. I decided to go back... Show More

Freakin' Unbelievable
If you want a professional digital photography camera with great customization in a simplistic layout, all while maintaining the greatest color reproduction around and film like qualities, this is your camera. The quality of pictures taken with my new XT3 at a wedding this past weekend just blew away my old Sony camera system (a6500). The autofocus and face tracking was even more impressive, which is saying something, and the burst photos... Show More

Lives up to the hype
I've had so many Fujifilm cameras now, as I love the ergonomics and ethos. There have been a few struggles here and there (the X-Pro1 launch), and I almost lost hope a few time. But something about using them, how they approach continuous improvement, their very distinctive color profile, focus on the details that photographers notice and their freakishly great lenses, starting with primes won me over. Oh, I have had full kits in both Canon ... Show More

Better Than the X-T2
I've owned the X-E2, X-T1, X-Pro2, X-T2 & have used the X-H1. All were better at some things than others. Pluses for all and negatives for all. The X-T3, which I have owned for about a month now, is, in my opinion, better at all things. Fuji has done a nice job at allowing more customization for a better shooting experience and there are definitely improvements in the focusing ability of the camera. The two major things Fuji needs to continue t... Show More

Simply the best
Briefly: As a semi-pro photographer of over 10 years - quite possibly the speediest and best of the mirrorless cameras on offer. Long-ly: The Fujifilm X-T2 is a behemoth of a camera, but I needed to upgrade, and I'm glad I did. I know I'm reviewing the X-T3, bear with me. I primarily shoot landscapes, cars, and interiors - three genres that, arguably, are best-suited for cameras with higher megapixels and slower speeds. My X-T2, after switch... Show More

Wish I could give it 6 stars!
I dont really know where to start on this review. I had been using my Canon 5DMII for 10 years and was very happy with the performance and image quality that I was getting from it. I was very heavily invested in Canon L glass as well as several Sigma Art lenses. Somewhere along the way I started to get tired (pun intended) of carrying all of that heavy gear around. Even though I was very happy with the results, I wanted to see what else was out t... Show More

It took me a while to figure out this Fuji. I have had canons and Nikons before. There arent any shooting modes. Youve got the ISO wheel where you can choose your number or put it on auto. Theres a lock button on it too. Then you have a shutter speed wheel with an auto option. Then you have the aperture ring on the lens with an auto function. Its all manual if you want it to be manual.

Yep its good but with a learning curve for dslr shooters
Had this camera for a few weeks now and its performing well. I came from shooting with the canon 70d and 5d mark ii and wanted to make the jump into the mirrorless world of the future. Here are my notes: This is a different experience to shooting with a DSLR - the EVF is good and has never felt like a hinderance but its obvious that your not actually looking through the lens. Noise at high ISOs is great for an apsc sensor. Kicks the 70d out of ... Show More

Mirrorless Potential Realized
I sold off my Canon 5D3 and L-lenses five years ago to begin a migration to mirrorless. Among the mirrorless options available at the time, Fujifilm appeared to have the best line-up of high quality, affordable, and fast prime and zoom lenses. I am not pedantic about FF vs. APS-C, as long as the camera system is usable in low light and has lenses covering all the classic FF equivalent focal lengths.

Great build, ok firmware, poor apps
I use this camera for landscape photography. The make is of great quality. Feels very sturdy though a little heavy. It looks so beautiful that I want to hold it all day long.

The firmware is having very small issues here and there. (Make not mistakes, you can still use it to take amazing photos or ... Show More

Great camera
It took me a while to decide between the X-T2 and the X-T3, especially since I had picked a T2 in graphite silver for $1,299 and it was made in japan. At the end of the day, for my needs either camera would have sufficed (mostly portraits and landscapes). However, after holding and feeling my way around both, I realized that the X-T3 was a better fit for my large hands, small things made a big difference, including the additional depth of the gri...

Impressive camera! Best value out there!
My main photo subject is birds in flight. Doing it for decades. So, I am always looking for the best in auto-focus speed and tracking capabilities. I used to shoot with pro Canon bodies and the 600mm f/4.0 and the 400mm f/5.6. When Nikon launched the D5 and D500 I switched over to Nikon. Two reasons; sensor quality and auto-focusing performance. I usually shoot with Nikkor 500mm f/4.0 TC-14E II, TC-17EII and TC-20E II. There's nothing out there c... Show More

Switched from Sony A7Rii and couldnt be happier
