Amazing location, carefully shot, beautifully graded and composed and Chris and Jordan in top form - one of your best episodes ever. I really like!
I love how you guys team up with a location that promotes a different form of art. Alway the best reviews from you guys!
A brand that listens to customers will always win.
Buying On a Budget LOL@costumers.
oops
Thank you Ziggi, you made a very interesting point. I guess I might have to change my perspective.
Not only a great review, but also a great video - congratulations! Really well composed, shot, and presented.
At first I was quite shocked when you two left the CamerastoreTV, but now I have to admit that your reviews got even better with the dpreview-team. Always balanced, never biased like some of the other review channels out there, constructive criticism and at least as entertaining as before. Kudos for your work and I hope to see many more excellent reviews in the future! Thank you guys! :)
One thing to remember: Fuji will tweak the AF with future firmware updates, improving things like Eye AF and subject tracking.. with most other manufacturers you basically get no further improvements with firmware updates, you need to wait for the next camera if want better performance. Fun fact: on the X-T3 you can now update the firmware through the remote app, you don't need to download and put it on a SD card.
Ya'll deserve way more subscribers. I love how thorough your reviews are.
Excellent review guys!
so, am i hearing this is a stunning video focused body? im sold. been waiting a couple years to hear this kind of reaction from jordan
Great review but I think you should have mentioned 3 things
- how competitive the price is
- the quality of the Fuij lenses and their affordability is a big plus
- the fact this camera can shoot 30 FPS burst, never seen before in that type of camera.
I think they mentioned that on the pre production video.
Wouldn't exactly call their lenses affordable. Sure, its mostly cheaper than full frame, but a 50 mm lens goes for a lot less with Canon or Nikon than Fuji. (other than that and the small batteries i am very happy with my X-T2)
Lightweight & high quality lenses? definitely. Affordable? ehhhhhhhhhh?
Guys... they're basically similar price, size and weight as the FF equivalents. For example, compare the 56mm f/1.2 R to a Sony 85mm f/1.8. You'll notice similar size, image quality, weight, DoF, etc. Compare all the lenses if you want... I've already done it with many lenses, they're all in the same ballpark. However, also keep in mind that the Sony 85mm f/1.8 will snap into focus so much faster and silently compared to the 56mm.
What is “this type of camera”?
Wow guys, the quality and effort that has gone into this review is incredible. thank you.
Great review! That’s why I always count on DPR for a fair and practical view of ALL photografic gear, regardless of brand and personal preferences.
I love it man, the day I bought the XT3, I couldn’t use my Canons anymore, I sold them all
You keep any of the canon glass, or is it not worth it?
metabones 🤨🤨🤨 or any other 3rd party adapter could’ve saved it some slr lenses perform really nicely on mirrorless
Absolutely love the colour, contrast and feel coming off of this camera. Thanks guys.
By far these guys are the best and more reliable source for reviews.|
Thank you so much.
I lived in Canada for 12 years, and my fondest memories come from the 2 years I spent in Calgary... Including doing the live sound for Grammy Award winner Donald Ray Johnson at the National Music Centre. This was before Studio Bell, though, in the building they shared across the street. What a cool, amazing group of people doing beautiful things to preserve the heritage of Canadian music.
This is going to be my new camera when I pick up photography again in the near future (when I saved up enough!). Thanks for the great review and beautiful footage from the National Music Centre.
I love my Fujifilm cameras - all 4 of them. I also love your reviews. You guys do a fantastic job.
Great review & venue! Will have to check out the National Music Centre next time I'm in Calgary .
It's an incredible space, definitely check it out!
Thanks for validating my decision to go with the Fujifilm XT3!
Good review. Trying to decide whether to upgrade from the X-T2, and think I'm going to hold off for now. Love the X-T2 and for my purposes the 3 is not enough of an upgrade (I don't use it for video). Thanks Chris and Jordan for another superb job. I hope DPReview knows how good they have it with you guys on the team - best reviewers out there as far as I'm concerned.
this is the best review and best footage video of Fujifilm X-t3 i have ever seen on CZcams. i like the part part that how you break out which lens you use for difference prospectively aerials .. Thanks for good video.
But my question is is this camera is good enough for next couple years ...
And which lens is most useful for X-t3?
Very nice video guys. Video production, acting, and now music skills? Jordan is a renaissance man! ;) I had a X100F for a while, but with the not-so-great video AF I eventually decided to trade it in because I needed the cash for something more versatile. The X-T3 shows me that I can consider the next revision of the X-H line because like you were saying it should have the flip screen and in camera shake reduction.
As usual great review guys!
Awesome review guys; you’re the best!!
Seen so many good reviews on the X-T3. iBIS, - will suck it up, learn to Ninja walk or buy a gimbal. Just bought the sliver one with kit lense. Great, detailed review. Thanks.
Love you guys great interesting review as always😉
My wife and I just photographed a wedding this past weekend and I just bought her a new xt2 for $1111. Now coming from my xe1, we loved the colors and how it would render pictures so much. I can't believe the upgrade from the first generation, I was telling her It's crazy to think that the xt3 is considered even faster autofocus because the xt2 is already damn good! I love Fuji! Thanks Chris and Jordan for the review! Any wooden nichols episodes in the near future?
Great review, can definitely seeing myself upgrading from the XT-2 in the future, but now quite yet :)
Phantastic review with some really good thoughts !
Looks like the X-H2 will be a very nice camera.
I gonna buy X-T3 after watched this video, thanks again Chris and Jordan
I‘m gonna buy X-T3 before watching this video.
I'm gonna buy this video before I see the X-T3.
I'm gonna buy this video after I see the X-T3.
I‘m gonna buy Chris and Jordan after watching this video, thanks again X-T3
I‘m gonna buy X-T3 after i got job, earn some spare money, wait year or two, get used one for half a price or something like that.
Been waiting for this review 💯💯💯
Excellent review! Thanks....
Great review, will need to upgrade I think. Thank you.
What lens did you use on your last wrap-up shot in front of the yellow trees? It’s sharp as a tack and has beautiful out of focus bokeh
Just the much-praised XF 18-55mm F2.8-4. Truly one of the best kit lenses ever produced.
my god... Sure it's even better on XT3. I didn't like it on XT2 because of the none graduate ring
That lens is seriously fabulous.
@@thatjordandrake Its almost unfair to call it a 'kit lens' lol. That thing goes for nearly 700 EUR by itself! Its incredible when you can have it with an XT20 for 1000 EUR.
Awesome review! Thank you.
4th time I have watched this review! This is how to do a camera review! Fab! The colors look very cinematic too:)
I'm always impressed with you Canadians and Chris especially he does a nice thorough job. I do like this Cam I would swap my 7Dmk2 in a HEARTBEAT I just wish Fuji could use Canon lenses.
nature albums have a look at the Fringer EF-FX Pro to adapter your Canon lenses on the Fuji.
Great video as usual - I’d like to see a comparison of the X-H1 and XT3, especially for video.
Thanks guys as always.
Great review! Thanks! Yes, i agree...this is a great camera- but there are 2 important things missing: ibis and the flip out screen (like on the gh5). Looking forward for the xh2.
Thanks for your great video..... Is the video file still limited to 30min.? I'm a fujifilm shooter but for that reason I also bought GH5 because I usually record long interviews.
Great review! Which ND-filter do you use for film making Jordan? Sold one of my X-T2s and bought the X-T3. Love it!!
I’m starting to think you’re just a PR rep for Calgary.
Except on my Instagram stories I showed how it went from golden yellow fall colors to 3 feet of snow in ONE day! No one is gonna want to come now.
Chris Niccolls it’s similar in Chicago, yesterday it was 50s, today it’s 80s, and tomorrow it’ll be back down to 50s.
We’ve had days like yours, except they start mid-November-ish
@@niccollsvideo I do and training as a psyche nurse to do so :0
This review convinced me to switch to Fujifilm for videography. Couldn't be happier :)
Hi Guys, great review, thanks for once again delivering a really insightful video.
I switched to Fuji last year (XT-1) as it was the first camera since my 5D2 that made me WANT to take pictures. This XT-3 is probably the first camera since that 5D2 that i'm seriously considering buying new, due to a few lackings in the XT-1 and the new surprise video features and reliable autofocus, but I still have a few key questions left unanswered from your review.
1) - From the lenses you used in the video, I noticed that they were mostly XF zooms. Did you try any of the primes that Fuji shooters typically use such as 23mm 1.4, 35mm 1.4, 56mm 1.2 and how did they perform with the new AF system - in video particularly? I note these lenses particularly because they are some of the oldest (and ones I just so happen to own ha) but ones that generally are slower to focus than the newer f2 WR ones, does the XT-3 inject new life into these older primes?
2) Flash / HSS has been an core issue with older Fuji systems and a few companies like Godox and Profoto are now offering proper professional solutions to Fuji shooters. As someone who likes to take "studio style" portraits, it would be great to see a test with some flashes and demo'ing HSS.
3) With the fuji lenses having fly-by-wire focus, how did you find pulling focus in manual mode on the video side? Is there any menu settings to reduce the long throw that the lenses seem to have programmed which is great for precise photo manual focusing, but not so much when trying to do a nice smooth focus pull (atleast on my XT-1 anyways).
4) I know there's no IBIS and very few Fuji lenses offer the OIS but with the XF 18-55 2.8-4 OIS, that you used, how effective did you think the lens stabilisation was in comparison to being off, or even the 16-55 f2.8 you used in other shots?
Thanks very much again for the time and effort you put into these reviews, you not only make them super informative, but genuinely engaging.
Is it worth upgrading from the xt2? I just do stills. I heard that the new sensor recovered that analog look when noise appeared. That was missing in the xt2 sensor and made me feel like the xt10 images where more beautiful to see at (it's subjective)
I'm shooting whith the X-T3 for a week now. Which takes the X-T3 apart from the X-T2 is not only the sensor and the amazing autofocus system but the collection of all the small but worthful improvements. Maybe this one area which reviewers can't state about because they're no daily users. One big improvement for me is the maximum magnification while reviewing images another is the use of the sensor of the viewfinder while the selection the viewing possibilities. Also the different haptic of the knobs anfd the joystick is striking.
Jochen Hinrichs-Stöldt That was exactly my feeling going from the a6000 to the a6300. On paper it was easy to reduce the difference to 4K shooting, but all the little things added up to a totally overhauled experience. You make a good point for people looking at both the older and current Fuji’s.
One thing I noticed with the X-T3 is that in ES mode under artificial lights, there is no banding at all, or at least I haven't experienced any yet. Banding was a huge problem with the X-T2 and this improvement means you can now shoot in silent mode, anywhere. It is also much much much better than the A7III in this aspect (which I also own), and it makes the X-T3 a great street photography camera. The mechanical shutter is already really quiet and the electronic shutter is even better. I am really looking forward to use the X-T3 in my upcoming Tokyo trip and in the Japanese culture, it is best to be quiet and not disturb other people.
It really comes down to your shutter speed. Match your shutter speed to the local electricity network (1/50th or 1/60th of a second or a multiple of those) and you shouldn't experience banding with most cameras.
Tokyo is 50hz.
x-t2 slightly improved banding issues after update 4.10, so its not as bad.
You might get bad looks if you shoot people in Tokyo, but YOU could be shot for real for the same thing in some other cultures :D
Tim Chan I've never found shutter sound to bother anyone in street photography, even on my DSLRs. Once the shot's been taken (and you captured the 'natural' moment) who cares if someone then notices you? You already have the shot.
Also would love to see a high bit rate for video comparison between the A73 and the XT3. A lot of people will cite liking the full frame "look" in the new age of pixel peeper-mania, but I really need to see how the Sony's 100mb/s bit rate versus the Fuji's 400mb/s (plus all color modes and log) play out in both the acquisition state and for coloring in post.
I'm also wondering if in post the Fuji footage can mimic/match the Sony dynamic range having all that extra data (~4x) to work with.
I bought the Sony, 8-bit log falls apart really, really quickly. Terrible colour banding, poor shadows, it's a disaster for video. I'm glad Amazon offers a 30day return.
@@OhFishyFish oh please stop the BS butthurt fanboys nonsense. There are plenty of tests showing that you are full of it. The FF in the A73 is vastly superior to the Fuji. The only reason to get the Fuji is if you need 4k60p...that's it
Stoked with the review guys. Mine just arrived today! No lens yet though :(
Gorgeous location and great videography!
Such a beautifull place and wonderfull review, thanks!!
Beautiful video Jordan. Would you say the X-T3 output beats the BMPCC and the GH5?
The fact you shoot these on the actual camera is the special sauce.
Good review.
Question: Atoms Nanja V external 4:2:2 recorder is available for purchase? Please share link. Is this record at prores 422HQ format?
Thanks for another great review! I just invested in Sony A7iii and I enjoy using it. However, I love the Colors and tone that XT3 is producing, would you guys have any tips on how I can make Sony footage look a little more like Fuji? I have close to zero experience in color correcting :) thank you!
Excited to watch this!
Great video, guys. Awesome camera.
I need more x-t3 videos! This looks like such a good camera and I need a new one. When is dpreview coming out with their official review?????
What a building! RUSH! Yes, I grew up with that music and seems them live twice, 1983.. & 2004. And that synthesizer! Oh I like the X-T3 review too :-)
Great review, this camera has amazing video features in a photo-centric body. Here hoping we see many new features from firmware updates. Top of the list on the photo side is pixel shift and on the video side i hope to see video recording out via usb-c out to a ssd drive.
Very nice review! I could not find an option, which is present on xt2: shoot without lens, which allows to use lenses with manual focus. Am I missing something, or is this function not supported on X-T3?
Can you please compare the image quality side by side pixel peeping between xt2 vs xt3 are they really diff? I don’t do video so. Thank you.
Very nicely presented vlog! And truly stunning images. Although I am a full frame shooter, I would like to switch to APS-C setup just to keep my kit a bit lighter & smaller. My only concern is about low light conditions, which I frequently come across while travelling. Can you or anyone having good experience with both the systems, on low light performance, please share your thoughts on that point? Again thanks for sharing your views on XT-3 and may God bless you for your future endeavours!
Would love to see an expanded moire in HFR comparison video between the Sony, GH5, XT2, XT3 mentioned at around 12:30 on the timeline here.
Forgive me if this is common knowledge...
Just ordered X-T3. Looking at video rig accessories. Is there a specific weight limit of the hot shoe? For mounting on top, as well as carrying (top handle)?
Thanks Chris and Jordan. Which lens(es) to you recommend starting with? I'm leaning towards the 23mm F/2 for the aperture ring (vs. the kit) and as a big upgrade from the X100 I was using. I'd like to learn how to do video too. It's between this and the Panasonic G9 or (more expensive) GH5, but the micro 4/3 lenses seem more expensive.
Nathan Youngman if you want video and you do not have a gimbal or something to stabilize your footage, maybe consider the 18-55 kit for its OIS. The 23 f2 is great too and has weather resistance, but handheld video can look pretty shaky.
Thanks for the review guys! Sounds like a great camera, but... Jordan, I completely agree about IBIS and the flippy screen. If (when?) they make an X-H2 I will probably upgrade from my X-T2.
Great video - THANKS!
Is the evf eye sensor faster now than that 1 second lag from the xt2 eye sensor? I had the xt2 for about 4 days; i returned the xt2 because of the slow eye sensor that causes the 1 second delay before activating the evf.
I tried the X-T2 in store and decided not to buy it cause of that annoyance. I actually bought an X-T3 and the eye sensor is very snappy
The eye sensor response is much improved in the X-T3.
I've never experienced any lag like what you experienced. Even the Xt1 is about 1/3 of a second.
Can you select faces to use the Eye AF on Sony's? (without registering them first)
Droppin' the "bass"-ISO - good one Chris! :D
I went into my local camera store to check out the X-e3 but had a look at the X-T3 as well. Have to say i was very impressed with the feel, layout and how bright and large the view finder was (I wear glasses) plus the price with lens was competitive. Now I’m not sure what to do, I wanted something smaller and lighter than my current DSLR, an old Canon 40D, and sure the X-T3 is smaller and lighter but I was looking for something with a simple, less cluttered layout. I also like the flip out screen (wish the X-e3 had that) the flip out to the right I think is for portrait use, an interesting idea.
I got the X-E3 in the end I’m very happy with it.
Is the xt3 able to backup your video footage to 2 card slots?
Good detailed review 👍
Lovely reviews as usual, guys! The XT-3 does look like a handy little camera and they are definitely going after Panasonic with the video features. Personally, I would still prefer Micro Four Thirds simply because I got so used to using IBIS and I love the more open lens system, but Fuji is on my radar for sure if I ever want to switch systems again.
Yay im happy to always keep my made in japan xt2 with better high iso :)) but i might get a backup xt3 eventually
Just as Jordan is continuously impressed with the quality of the output of the X-T3, I am continually impressed with the output of Chris and Jordan! If you guys are reading this, 1) kudos! And 2) can you please do an episode on how you recover images like that blown out shot of Jordan who is magically restored before our eyes? You show these regularly to demonstrate image recovery and I am curious about how you do it. Thanks again for the great work you do!
The video on this looks fantastic.
gorgeous video!
That moment we all learn Chris can play pian-ohhh.....
The handling and autofocus look great on this camera, but I wish you'd touched on the usable dynamic range in video mode. It's looking pretty limited, especially in the side by side with the GH5. Please correct me if that wasn't the case.
Hello. I understand new firmware got released for the X-T3 to enhance autofocus. Does that now match the Sony system?
With the X-T4 coming out soon, I'm expecting this price to drop a bit for the X-T3. Might be now the perfect camera for me to consider.
Is there any 600mm lenses for the x mount from any company? Any weather proofing?
Review in a museum? Great idea... A welcome alternation...thanks
What about rack focus ? Is it smooth if you use the touch screen?
Is there video limitation in xt-3 like in sony7iii - 30 min?
I am so happy I invested in this system...
That’s it, I’m getting it
Fuji I LOVE your flip SCREEN concept! They have in my opinion the best flip screen arrangement on the marked. Makes high/low photo a breeze compared to the Panny/Oly/Canon idea where you have to flip it all the way out before rotating etc which makes you miss the moment. 100% cudos to Fuji here. This vlogging-thingy is just for a few users compared to the large amount of photographers out there.
Are you going to review the new Blackmagic pocket 4k? Looking forward to that! Nice video btw! 😊
Yeah, Jordan should review some Blackmagic and RODE gear here in Australia, and interview/tour the facilities etc.
Nicely done, as usual.
I especially like your guys' production values, composition and sound. Your voices are soothing yet not boring. I detest those "pukers" we hear so often in videos, trying to hype everything as if the world's about to end.
As to the camera, it seems nice, but I guess I can stick with my Canon EOS M-6.
Jordan, can you please let us know which lenses you use to shoot videos? Also, do you rely on AWB or do you change it for conditions?
the music in background is awesome at 2:17
been trying to catch the title on shazam but no luck. do you know the song?
Might buy this
Can you guys do a video on your video settings? I didn’t see any jello movement...I would like to see how you avoided that
love the humour as well as expertise
This might just be the camera I have been waiting for. Just going to see what they come up with on their X-H2. Before I buy.
No. X-H2 is my limit. Life's too short and I'm too old. To wait any longer :)
Same. Have xt2. Waiting for xh2 to upgrade. Bigger battery, flippy screen in addition to new sens/proc and it's a buy for me. Maybe put the exposure dial back instead of the top screen? Or at least make 2 remaining top dials equal distance from fiewfinder so it looks better.
I reckon on at least a year before the X-H2 is announced
@@stansid3326 there won't be flippy screen on the X-H2
@@adrianphotovisions2308
I doubt. Everybody is signaling at Fuji to release XH2 ASAP so the xh1/xt3 generational fiasco does not repeat again. On top of that Fuji knows that to be a contender for a huge portion of the market they need IBIS in their camera offerings and nobody is gonna buy XH1 anymore. I think next spring is the time when we shoud see XH2 that would mark a 1 year cycle from XH2.
