X T3 Mirrorless Camera

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. So, I began investing in Fuji glass and purchased an X-T1 to shoot it with. The X-T1, a charming camera in many ways, fully met my image quality expectations. However, it fell short in terms of overall camera responsiveness. When it got the shot, the results were impressive, but the shutter and viewfinder lag along with an overall camera sluggishness meant plenty of missed shots. Fujifilm has a reputation for being responsive to customer needs, so I waited patiently for them to address what in my opinion were the biggest limitations of their earlier cameras. Now, with the X-T3, I feel like Fujifilm has finally delivered on the promise of mirrorless. They have produced a camera that responds more like a DSLR than a 1980s programmable calculator. It meets my needs in every area that is important to my photography: rugged build, weather sealing, usable ISO 12800, fast and reliable operation all at price, weight and size appreciably less than its FF competitors. I am delighted with my purchase. Note that I shoot mostly events and some sports, so features such as IBIS are not particularly important to my work. If your shooting requires image stabilization, or if you need a full frame sensor, or if it is important to have the very latest and greatest technology in your camera, then the X-T3 is likely not the best option for you. On the other hand, I find it difficult to imagine a real world shooting situation where I would not be able to get the shot using an X-T3. That is not something I could say about just any camera.

Excellent wireless remote, unit works flawless, with my Fuji X-T3 mirrorless camera.

I shot Nikon for 10 years prior to purchasing this camera. Fuji's X series lineup is mature and capable. For $1000, you won't find a better mirrorless APS-C camera that the X-T3. Fuji's lens lineup is the main reason I switched from the Nikon Z50 to the X-T3. Nikon makes a terrific product but they only have two native lenses for the APS-C format mirrorless cameras. You can read detailed reviews about the X-T3 but my recommendation would be to consider the lenses available for any camera prior to purchasing.

I had contemplated changing out gear for quite some time and after many trials and tribulations I did finally decide to trade-in and sell off the big heavy gear and move to reduce weight and space. As an avid (and aging) travel and adventure photographer I like many others are finding it more difficult hauling my gear through the airports let alone up mountains.  I had been watch Fuji's product development and decided to make the move when they released the X-T3. I am often asked about going to mirrorless as well reducing to a cropped sensor. So mirrorless means owning a few extra batteries with a little learning curve and when I think back about cropped sensors I'm reminded that one of my most prized photos was actually shot with an 8mp Canon 20D (my first digital SLR). While sensor technology and software development have made great strides, I think Fujifilm has edged the competition with the X-T3.  After a recent trip to the Galapagos Islands I was going through some sunset photos of one of their most iconic monoliths and after having thrown a jpeg from one of these shots out onto social mead I decided to post process the raw file. To my amazement the sensor actually captured some detail on the dark side of the monolith with the sunlight coming directly at me. The attached images are the the same photo the color saturation changes when you expose the shadow details. The quality of the cameras bodies and lenses I have so far is outstanding and if you're a lover of classic camera design (and I am) just look at this beauty.

I have an X-T3 as my main shooter and have this as my second shooter. I absolutely love the size of the camera, and love how I can get the same image quality as my x-t3 in a much smaller and lighter package

All I ever wanted in a Mirrorless Camera.

Use with Canon EOS T3 camera

Great product. I think one of the best mirrorless camera out there.

I use it for my mirrorless camera. Would recommend.

The best camera so far, love the mirrorless tech.
