DPReview TV: Fujifilm X-T3 Review
Chris and Jordan from DPReview TV just published their full Fujifilm X-T3 review on the DPR youtube channel here. Some key points:
STILLS by Chris
- X-T3 has 1/3rd stop better dynamic range over X-T2 at base ISO, but slightly worst at high ISO (a worthy trade-off for higher megapixel and full sensor PDAF)
- Rolling shutter very good
- Eye-Detect autofocus tracking is very good, but Sony still slightly higher hit rate.
- by far the most capable Fujifilm focusing camera. Easily handle wedding, sports, wildlife etc.
- Face detection can occasionally lock on something else, and not on face
- You can’t toggle and select the face to track, if you have more faces in frame
I remind you that lab tests at Photonstophotos here, show that the X-T3 is slightly better dynamic range at base ISO as well as high ISO.
VIDEO by Jordan
- Skin tones, colors and contrast are impressive
- Video AF very reliable. Minimal wobbling
- Jordan would like the ability to tab the subject on touch screen and camera starts tracking like Nikon Z7
- Separate video/stills exposure if you use silent movie controls
- 4K video is very clean and very sharp, does not look oversharpened
- 120fps quality is very good, quite sharp. Less moiree and aliasing than Sony
- image does not require much post processing
- one of the strongest video mirrorless out there
- He says Fuji should better come out with a Fujifilm X-H2 soon
- X-T100 flippy screen would have been nice
CONCLUSION
- Fujifilm X-T3 has significant upgrades
- AF is really that much better
- better EVF
- can handle any kind of photography
- only negative, is lack of IBIS
- fantastic APS-C camera
