Fujifilm X-T3 26 MP Mirrorless Optical Zoom Camera Body with XF 16-80mm Lens (APS-C X-Trans CMOS4 Sensor, EVF, LCD Tilt Touchscreen, Fast & Accurate AF, Face/Eye AF, 4K/60P Video) Black

DISCLAIMER - I am writing this review after spending a vacation with this camera.I'll divide my review into parts or I'll never be able to make it cohesive enough.Build Quality:-----------------------------------The first thing you notice when you take it out of the box is the build quality of the body. It 'feels' solid. The top and bottom plate is all metal. The middle of camera is metal wrapped over by a rubbery texture that makes it great to hold.Then you notice the lens. As someone who's been using Nikkor DX 35mm 1.8 prime (which is a great lens, tbh), the all metal lens body was a revelation. Yeah, it makes things heavier. But the weight gives it some welcome heft when you handle it. No, Fuji is not the only company that makes metal lenses. But yes, fuji lenses are extremely well made and can go toe to toe with any lens's build quality out there.Design-----------------------------------This is one of the better looking cameras on market. Obviously, the looks are subjective. But I've yet to come across a reviewer who had bad things to say about the looks of this camera. The dials are 'retro-looking', but actually make things way easier than the mode dials. Again, I am writing from experience. Aperture priority and Shutter priority are easy enough to understand on most cameras. But when you want to control both Aperture and Shutter, while leaving ISO on auto, and when you want to customise ISO too for that one shot, having dedicated dials saves time.The dials make the entire experience extremely tactile. It 'makes you wanna shoot'.Kit Lens-----------------------------------This is hands down the best kit zoom lens you can get with any camera of any brand. I mean, look it up. Firstly, the lens goes to f2.8 with 18mm. Second, it's all metal with classy optics. While most kit lenses cost around 10k - 25k standalone, this kit lens costs upwards of 45k most of the times.And the quality of the pictures matches the build. Many photographers have praised this lens, and it's easy to see why. There's little distortion and I didn't find any color fringing. This lens takes you places. Literally.That said, I plan to purchase a prime soon. Not because I don't like my kit lens (I love it) but prime fits my shooting style better. When I'm not lazily trying to zoom at things while sitting in chair, I find that I make better shots. Also, this lens isn't weather resistant, which is a bit of a downer. But hey, it's still the best kit lens there is.Functionality-----------------------------------X-T3 gives you a lot of customisability. The 'Q' button gives you a bunch of quick settings. And you can customise the placement of each of these settings and even swap them out for other things you might find more useful. For even quicker changes, there are dedicated function buttons as well as touch screen gestures, all of which are customisable. I feel customisation is one of those things that differentiate a workhorse from a beginner camera. You can adjust things to make your workflow easier.Having two memory card slots is awesome. I use one for raws and other for jpegs. That way, I have my raws to process, but if something goes south with my primary card, I still have my backups for jpegs. Thankfully, when I delete a raw, the camera also lets me delete its corresponding jpeg from card 2 automatically (you can turn this off) so both my cards are consistent with each other.One of the not-so-good things here is placement of playback and delete buttons. Everything is on right side, but these two buttons are all the way on top left corner, making it extremely hard to access. Plus I end up triggering the EVF sensor every time I do that. Thankfully, I was able to assign one of the function buttons to playback, so I don't have to live with Fuji's questionable choices.Screens-----------------------------------Yep, this camera has two. If this is your first mirrorless (as it was for me), know that there is no optical view finder (that little lens on top of camera you use to see things). Instead, it's a small, extremely high resolution OLED screen. That means everything you can do from main touch screen, you can do in EVF. Changing settings, jumping through menus etc. It also means camera shows you how your photos are gonna look. So if you apply a film simulation (like B/W Acros), the live view in EVF reflects that.The touch screen in this camera is usable, although I find myself never using the touch screen features. I sometimes use joystick to select focus, but mostly keep the focus in center and just lock and recompose.Battery-----------------------------------There's no two ways about this. The battery is not very good on this camera. I mean, it's not abysmal. It got me two days of outdoors with on and off shooting in performance mode, with me turning off my camera when there were long pauses between shots. So if you're thinking of shooting your next vacation with it, no, it won't fail you in middle of day.That said, the battery is no where near my old Nikon D5300. This is mostly because of that high res EVF that I primarily use. Expect to charge the battery overnight or every two nights when you're shooting and you should be fine. They supply a wall charger too, although the camera lets you charge battery in-body using a USB-C cable.Accessories-----------------------------------I got a 16 gb SD card. Put it in slot two as my JPEG backup. Had to purchase a 64 gb high speed card for slot 1 for raws. The raw files of this camera are consistently over 50 mb, so the space fills quickly.They also gave me a camera bag. It has room enough for everything in box, plus one extra lens when/if you buy one. That said, the bag is not good at all. The top flap doesn't have a chain and is closed only through a hook. The belt on this hook loosens every time you life the bag using top handle. The strap is also not long enough, making me wear this camera pretty awkwardly around my body.I plan to switch this bag out soon too.Final thoughts-----------------------------------Do you need a 1 lac+ camera to make good photos? No. Great photographers can take better photos on an instax than I can take on my X-T3. However, I'd argue that if you have the money to spend, and find a camera (doesn't have to be this) that ignites your passion and makes you wanna go out and experiment, shoot and enjoy photography, then by all means, get one. You certainly won't regret the purchase.As always, before buying this camera, do some research. I love this, but it may not be the right one for your needs. Look at Sony's alpha series, Canon's R series and Nikon's Z series. Most importantly, look at the lens selections. When you buy a camera, you're buying into a system. You are not gonna use canon lenses on fuji, so make sure which ever system you wanna get into, has the lenses you need. That said, Fuji has a very good lens selection. The best part is that they don't have any full frame cameras (at all). So they focus pretty hard on their APS-C lens lineup, which has already made it one of the best out there.Go shoot!

Just incredible! I've used Nikon, Canon, and Sony. But for my personal use, I keep coming back to this one!

I am first time user of a any kind of camera so cannot give expert opinion. Pictures may help.

This is probably the best camera with features and a fantastic auto focus, colours, weather sealing and the pre-shot feature is fantastic for action photography.. No other brand has this feature... Just love the X-T3

I had just started freelance video production work before buying this beast. To give a little background, I started shooting videos on canon 600d, have used Canon 5d Mark iv on rent for some projects, I've helped a company setup their video studio 3 years back and made them buy Panasonic Gh4 as that was the best option available back then in this range and they wanted a 4k camera. Last year, I also got a chance to shoot with a really expensive Sony camera, FS7. That immediately made me a Sony fan and for my personal use I had almost finalized a6500. Just then Fuji announced xt3, I had already heard good reviews of XH1, and because one part of my mind was tired of seeing everyone on YouTube using Sony cameras and the difficulty in getting accurate skin tones sometimes, I watched almost every video available on xt3 on YouTube, and was convinced that this is something special. Followed my heart and bought this along with fujinon 23mm f1.4, best investment of my video production career so far. You can't go wrong with this.Not providing tech specs as anyone who has even bothered to look up for Fuji camera for video work already knows a thing or two about it. The only issue people have is regarding trust in the brand considering it's forte has been just photography in the past. All I can say is I've just completed 1 year with xt3, don't see myself upgrading to anything else anytime soon, and to put things in perspective I bought the body only for 1,17,000/- INR last year, below 1 lakh it is a steal.

Perfect camera, even better than canon D810 . A tough competitor of D850 and Nikon Z6/Z7, canon 5D mark 4 , Canon EOSR , Sony A7III .Only Cons : NO IBIS .For IBIS and tilt screen ( for vlogging) , bigger battery you can go for XT4 . To me XT4 is not an upgrade where sensor, processor are same..------ Thanks , Deep D.

I have been a Fuji X system user from many years, since XT1 was launched. This is my so called upgrade from XT1 but I still love the XT1, the colors from XT1 are more to my liking than XT3. But XT3 is super fast, supports two SD Cards and the Fuji X Raw Studio with accurate color reproduction and detail. The XT1 RAW files were always a mess to work with in Lightroom, that was one or the biggest reasons I purchased XT3, the RAW conversation using X Raw Studio is as good as JPEGS out of camera. Unfortunately X Raw Studio doesn't support files from XT1. If you are a fan of accurate film style colors, and easy and super quick to use dial style settings. Fuji X System is for you.

While this is an awesome camera, one does take a lil while to get around the fuji system specially if youre habituated to other ecosystems. Albeit once you get past that patch, its all honey and butter sunny! Overall an awesome camera with fantastic color science!

No hay mucho que agregar a lo que ya se sabe sobre esta cámara. Es extraordinaria. Muy recomendable, sobre todo si la encuentras en oferta.

Item was delivered in good time, and working well so far without issues.When I enquired about warranty, I was told by the seller (BecexTech) that if it cannot be claimed locally, then you can claim it with them. Not an ideal situation as it's unknown how that would turn out, but hopefully it won't come to that. My X-T2 is 5 years old and still going strong with zero issues, so I'm hoping this does the same.

Great APSC camera. The lens kit is very sharp. The package only includes the camera, its battery and the lens. Should you need them, you may have to buy in addition the EF-X8 flash and the battery charger.

It’s what I was hoping for and more. The image quality is superb! I pair it with Fujinon 35mm 1.4f. Very happy with my purchase :)

Los tonos que salen directo de cámara son espectaculares, cambie de Nikon D7100 a Fujifilm y fue un excelente cambio.
