Fujifilm Manager Explains Why the Fujifilm X-T3 has No Selfie Screen (+ Review). Do you Agree? (POLL)

Fujifilm X-T3

The beast is unleashed, and the Fujifilm X-T3 is out in the wild for testing.

One of the testers is Photogearnews and he gets the answer, why the Fujifilm X-T3 has no selfie screen.

A Fujifilm manager told him that, in order to implement the Fujifilm X-T100 selfie screen on the Fujifilm X-T3, they should have made either the camera thicker, or remove some ports (like the headphone jack for example).

They didn’t want to make the camera bulkier and not even remove ports, so they kept the 3-way tilt screen. And if people really want to see themselves while recording, they can add a second screen, which are becoming smaller and more affordable (check out minute 7:45)

I wonder what you guys think… do you agree with this choice? I will let you vote in a poll down below.

And here are other tidbits from his 18 minute review, that you can see here.

  • eye/face detection test at minute 2:34 here
  • single AF is very quick and very responsive (he didn’t test continous AF)
  • face detection test while vlogging at minute 8:47 here
  • see smooth exposure transition during video recording at minute 9:34
  • he doesn’t notice any difference between X-T2 (made in Japan) and X-T3 (made in China) in terms of build quality

NIKON Shooter About FUJIFILM: “Fujifilm’s Passion is Evident or They Could Never have Produced Something Like the X100F”

Fujifilm X100F

Did you invest in DSLR’s or any other non-Fujifilm system?

Well, then let your fingers from the Fujifilm X100F, since the perfidious Fuji Guys conceived this camera as the “gateaway drug” into the X world.

In fact, I often hear of Nikon or Canon shooters, who just got and X100F as a secondary camera for everyday shooting. But once they felt the pleasure, inspiration and quality of shooting with Fujifilm, they started to buy an X-Pro2, or an X-T2, a few lenses, and ended up ditching their DSLR system completely.

Today we report about another hardcore Nikon shooter, who made the error to get an X100F as a secondary camera: very popular youtube photographer The SnapChick.

She says about the X100F:

  • She tried the Nikon DF, which never fully embrace its inner “analogueness”
  • X100F hits the sweet spot between old school feel and modern features
  • X100F solidly build and  super clean, classic design
  • it’s all about the basics
  • intuitive menu. Coming from other brands, she felt like she already knew how to use 90% of the functions without needing the menu or manual
  • Sony mirrorless felt like a computer for her, but Fujifilm is doing it right
  • she liked to use film simulations a lot
  • this was the first time in a long time, that she was excited to look at photos later on
  • she thought that the X100F would make an occasional guest appearance in her camera bag, but after a couple of months with “this gem” and the Fujifilm X100F was almost always in her bag, and often no other camera
  • high quality images that rival anything else out there
  • Fujifilm’s passion is evident, or they could never have produced something like this, where the features and the functions are so well geared to help you do that one thing really well: capturing great images with the least distraction while giving you full creative control

I doubt she will end up ditching their Nikon system, since most of her followers on youtube are Nikon shooters. But it’s nice that she captures in words so nicely what’s about to be a Fujifilm X shooter: enjoying the pictures just as much as the process to take them.
