As always, when the flood of information is gigantic, it’s easy to miss those little Fujifilm X-T3 details, that can make the difference or explain better why the camera is capable of such high performances.
So I digested everything for you, and report here only about details or insights some of you might have missed, leaving away more obvious stuff, like the 26MP etc.
Eye-AF and autofocus overall seems to be hugely improved (watch DRPeview first look below). Great video features. Looks like a very solid update to the X-T2.
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.

It’s been very busy with rumors over here in the last weeks and months, so I coudn’t share as many miXed zones as I want. But today I will try to catch up and share a major camera roundup.
A big “thank you” to all of you guys, who contact me and share your content with me… you keep this roundups alive and interesting, and I am always happy to support your work by featuring you on FujiRumors.com.
The Fujifilm community is simply the best, and I will do my little part in this community, by sharing your work for as long as FujiRumors will run :) .
But as we pointed out in the review of Jared’s review, he is probably not so familiar with Fujifilm controls.
In fact, Fujifilm cameras are more flexible than anything else on the market right now.
If you like the retro analogue controls (like me), you just turn the dedicated dials, but if you hate them (like Jared), all you need to do is to set your camera in a way that all those nice retro-dials become useless, since you can control many settings via command dial, just like on a DSLR.
If you are interested to know, how it works, then make sure to check out Ming Cai Youtube Video “Customize the Command Dials on Fujifilm Cameras to Get DSLR-like Control”
And since it just fits so well in today’s article…. as a hardcore analgoue-like controls freak like myself, I share again Palle Schultz Video down below ;)
