- Fujifilm X-T3 After 6 Months Of Use, was it the right choice? - We have had the X-T3 for about 6 months now and after some use we feel like it's a good time to give our thoughts on the camera. In recent videos we have used the camera both for film-making and photography so hopefully this will help a lot of you who are on the look out for a great budget hybrid camera in 2023.

Bloody lovely location man, so beautiful. Amazing video recording and engaging video. Loved it!
Thanks very much appreciate that. It was a lovely evening for a wander with the cameras 👌
great vibe and video! thanks subscribed and liked.
Hey there! Thanks very much glad you liked it and we appreciate the support ✌
Important to remember that there is no such thing as a 'perfect' camera, and also that cameras now are generally so good that an 'upgrade' is often not essential. Improving my own techniques can get me better photos than an upgrade would. (X-T30 owner).
Jerry
Couldn't agree more Jerry. Just getting out there and shooting is what gets you better photos 👍
@@MacnTeensVisuals 👍
An X-T30 is still better than what the majority of photographers has. Most people don't upgrade their body every other year. It can be easy to forget that with content creators often wanting to show features of the latest gear. Walking in nature and seeing a different photographer using some old DSLR I never think 'ew, that thing is old', but the CZcams rat race is often about the latest and greatest gear. Which makes sense, it gets the views and you have to review recent stuff, that's also what I'd do, but it's good to take a step back. That X-T30 is going to be good enough for at least a decade I'd hope.
A very useful video thanks. As for your fitness levels oh how I'd love to still be able to get out in the hills. With a very dodgy knee a 1 mile walk on the flat (aided by a walk-in stick) is my limit so enjoy it while you can!
Hey & thanks Roger glad to hear it was helpful. I really do need to get out in the hills more often to be honest. Have a good one.
I’ve owned and heavily worked with the XT-3 and XT-30 for maybe 4 years now and shooting mainly video, honestly I can’t get enough of both cameras they are just absolutely amazing, my only need to upgrade is just CZcams peer pressure other than that I’m sure I can keep up with my clients needs for years to come.
There is absolutely no doubt you could keep using both those cameras for years to come for your client work. Honestly the upgrades with almost all new cameras these days aren't really worth it unless you have a very specific need for that one thing. Glad you are enjoying your cameras though, keep shooting it's not about the gear. ✌
Very good video.
Thank you.
Where were you??
Beautiful area!!
I certainly am enjoying mine 😊
Love to hear it :)
Nice video. I have been using the xt3, along with a third-party grip, and as a stills photographer, I have been generally very satisfied. I also, having tried various film simulations, have settled on Astia, with some minor changes.
Thank you! It's a really nice camera to use isn't it and the Astia soft film sim just gives such rich colours. Other than IBIS for video I wouldn't need to upgrade for a long time.
@@MacnTeensVisuals Me too.
I purchased an XT-1 a few months back because the reviews are still really good. It is magical for photographs, especially with vintage lenses (Meyer- Optik, Carl Ziess, Takumar, etc…). However, one cloudy day, and a bouncing baby grandson, made me realize that I still, sometimes, need an auto focus lens in my bag. So I studied reviews and found a Fujifilm 35mm f1.4 lens, used, for a fair price. This would solve the auto focus problem. However, the seller also had an XT-3 with battery grip and a Fujifilm 18mm -135mm zoom lens. I was offered the XT-3 and 2 lenses for just over $1K, because the seller wants to buy an XT-5. I studied for a little while and decided that since the XT-3 does good video, I should buy it all, quickly, and then sell my current Lumix G7 and some other older gear. It’s been a few weeks and most of the gear is sold and I will actually make more money than I spent when the rest sells. I may not have the newest gear, but I have no doubt that I have the best cameras (& lenses) that I have ever owned in my lifetime. People are often selling their “old” XT-1 thru XT-4’s for great deals. You just have to search and wait patiently. I love videos like this where great equipment is reviewed, rather than the newest. Thanks for the time and hard work making it.
Hey Ken, thanks very much glad you liked the video and glad to hear your are enjoying your new camera. Sounds like a bargain to me. Gear is talked about way too much I think. I don't really have much interest in buying the latest gear when it comes to photography because I don't think it would really make much difference at all. Video is another story though haha
I prefer the XS10 because I am an Italian Espresso addict and XT3 is not a good choice for me. I made some pretty good shots in Portugal with the XS10 and are enough for my personal taste, but I can do better for sure, even though the XT3 is an amazing camera. For video work, I believe the X-H2S is a very good choice but the price is absolutely out of my budget. Better to get a good secondhand XT3 or XT4. BTW another interesting video you Guys are top!!!
Hey Tony! Haha I get it. They are all great cameras tbh it just depends which one fits your needs really. I would love to try out the X-H cameras actually they look pretty amazing. But yes price wise It does make sense to go for something else if you have a lower budget. Cheers again appreciate it :)
@@MacnTeensVisuals X-H cameras are another good option for coffee addicts 😂
@@TonysTravel 😂😂 Oh I believe you.
I buy cameras for photography and will NEVER buy one with articulating screen
@@Ed-lz4jv De gustibus no disputandum est 🙂
Awesome video! I'm thinking about buying a used X-t4. What would you recommend to be a great starter lense??
Thanks very much, appreciate it! That would be a great choice although if you don't need it for video the X-T3 would be a more budget friendly option. I would recommend probably the 18-55mm to get started or if you want a prime either the 35mm F2 or the 23mm F2. 👍
@@MacnTeensVisuals thank you!! Ohh i did hear about the 18-55mm being a great starter. I was hoping to go for the X-T4 because of the IBS primarily and it seems they have gone down in price as of recent. So I'm still debating (have been for the past two weeks lol) but I hope to make a decision soon. Also should I buy the 18-55 mm lense used or new?
fill 'em simulations
where is this location?
Im shooting my first wedding with an xt3 but im having troubles focusing on 2 people walking down the isle towards me, any advise with the settings or what to do ?
Hey! So make sure you are in continuous focus and set the focus speed to quite fast so the lens will focus quicker on your subject. You can also adjust the tracking setting to help track subjects rather than locking on to other things in the foreground or background. Also try using center focus or keep your focus point in the center so your couples are always within the square. You may already do all these but if not they should help 👍
Hi Mac I bought a used X-T3 in July.... much better than the X-S20 because I don't like the screen
Hey Flavio! Great choice and glad to hear you like it. What is it you don't like about the X-S20 screen?
How did you make this video look so good? I swear my xt3 doesn’t look as good and i always have to reduce exposure during the day
Also what lens did you record with?
We use the Astia Soft film simulation with some in camera adjustments and then I make some subtle adjustments when color grading in post. The footage always tends to look amazing right out of camera though to be honest. The footage in this video was actually shot using the X-T30 with the 18-55mm lens 👍
Just bought two xt4, the two cost the same like one xt5. I was tempting to get a xt3 but the ibis, better battery life bring me the xt4 in the view.
That's crazy haha Totally get it, the IBIS is definitely a nice addition. I will probably get an X-T4 at some point for that reason I think.
I got an X-T4 a week ago and it’s amazing. One thing I didn’t like was the interface when picking film simulations. It looked cooler on my XT30 ii that I traded for. But the IBIS and looong battery life is worth it. It’s not like I’m always switching simulations
That's great. You will find one or two favourite film sim and only change it few times. On the first week I did play around a lot but now I got one fav and the acros red. Enjoy your new cam.@@paulzamora4864
Bro, and what about the eye tracking focus? And the pre-Shooting buffer? Both are in the xt-30, and not at the xt-3 (wtf?). Do you miss this features?
I work mostly with portraits, by the way
6 Months Of Use, 6 Months Ago.
Haha Very true indeed. That's quite satisfying but I don't really know why... lol
YOu forgot to mention The T3 has a full size and better EVF than the T30 does. I do like the T30 has a flash
Honestly I did not know that so cheers for the info haha 👍
X-S10 is 100% downgrade from X-T3 .. and for me there is more character in the X-T3 Sensor than the X-T4. I'm pure Photo no video. :)
The X-T3 definitely has more features, it's just IBIS that stands out on the X-S10. Oh really? but they have the same sensor 🤔 Yeah decisions are much easier if you are strictly a photographer haha
You already have the XT3 for 6 Months 😳
Pretty much yeah, time flies 😮
Filem Simulations
You're right ;)
A camera review with no sample images from the camera.... why!
I just wanted to explain things and not make it about photos because you can't really tell how good a lens or camera is with just photos on CZcams. I have used it a lot for photography in other videos though 👍
