Fujifilm X-T3 Mirrorless Digital Camera (Body Only) - Silver

• It\'s been a long road of painstaking research. I really wanted to get back into photography and tried a few other cameras that just didn\'t feel right. There is just something about a Fujifilm X series that can\'t be articulated. Maybe it\'s that I learned on a Nikon FE film camera and this feels just like that? All of your setting are right there in front of you. I can easily turn the shutter speed to stop down or up wile looking in the Electronic View Finder. The aperture is on the lens just where it should be. ISO right in front of me. And the EVF! How that\'s changed my world. A perfect preview of your image before you take it? If you told us that\'s possible back in the 80\'s we would have laughed.Image Quality: So I found a good Youtube video that compared the image quality of the XT3 to the Sony A7III. Search it up. He had the RAW files for download for you to see as well. Bottom line is, if you pixel peep at 100-200 percent, you MAY see a slight image difference in SOME images leaning in the Sony\'s favor. You MAY see it. That is how similar they are.It also has to be mentioned that the JPEG\'s that come out of this camera are excellent. This was appealing to me because while I usually shoot RAW for artistic stuff, I often do not want to process simple snapshots I may take at a restaurant or something while on vacation. Also, the film simulations let you shoot in one of many Fuji renowned Film styles. I find that I want to use these even when shooting in RAW to get a preview for my artistic vision in the EVF. Even though other manufacturers can do the film simulations, the Fuji ones are especially great.Size and Weight: Super lightweight, even with the 16-80 mm lens. I hang it off of the Peak Design Capture Clip and it doesn\'t feel heavy. I had the XT30 before this and while that is an unbelievably light and small camera with the same sensor as this one, it actually felt too small. Hard to grip. The XT3 has an excellent grip and easy to hold.Lens: I went with the 16-80mm F4 lens. I absolutely love it. The short version of the story with this lens is that when it first came out there was reportedly some wobbling issues with the zooming in of the lens while doing video. Fuji has already released two firmware updates since it\' s release. I have had no issues with this lens. The zoom range is almost unheard of for this price point. At 16 mm you are essentially wider than most people would need to go. I often shoot pictures of the bridge near me and am able to do some really cool wide angle stuff. 80 mm is well within a desirable zoom range and you will often hear pros talking about how they shoot between 55 and 70mm. This lens has you covered. Now at F4, it;s surely not the fastest lens for the Fuji but I\'ve been surprised how well it can do indoors with the right settings. I have taken some indoor shots at ISO 1600 and have been really happy with my images. I saw another photographer who reviewed this lens on Youtube say that this lens paired with another fast prime like the 35 1.4 could be a perfect combination. I think he\'s right. Now the surprising thing I don\'t hear much talk about is the fabulous macro/close zoom capability of this lens. I attached a photo (tree branch) to demonstrate how crisp and capable it is close up. I didn\'t expect this and was really surprised. I had the 18-55mm with the XT30 before I returned it and can say that lens couldn\'t do this. Of course, this lens is also Weather Resistant and one day while out shooting after a rain, and water was still dripping on my lens of another camera, it dawned on me how it\'s always good to have that extra protection of a Weather Resistant lens. If you are new to photography let me just also caveat that by saying it doesn\'t mean water proof! There\'s a website that tested the XT3 to be water resistant in about 30 minutes medium rain. I wouldn\'t take the chance and always carry a rain cover (cheap see through kind) for bad weather or ocean spray.Compared to other makers: When you buy a camera, you are buying into a camera system. Fuji has an excellent lineup of lenses for the X system. Fujifilm is known to give frequent updates to their devices giving your camera equipment a longer lifespan in the opinion of many. I have heard they are also great with customer service but luckily haven\'t needed any yet. I personally like the menu system of Fuji (it makes sense to me) as compared to Sony or Panasonic. That is probably a personal preference though.Video: I haven\'t done much video aside from recording my kids school events and recitals but man it is sharp. I find the 4k files so large that I generally use 1080 instead still with crystal clear results. Look anywhere online about cameras with great video capability and the XT3 will surely be mentioned. Many Youtubers are now using this camera for the bulk of their video work and love it. Search it up.Value: I got this camera for $1800 with the 16-80mm lens and feel it\'s a fabulous value. Many pros are now using this camera either as a backup or as a main camera in their system That says a lot.Other Considerations: If you aren\'t aware there is some incompatibility between Fuji X trans RAW files and Adobe Lightroom. It took me a while to figure this out. The short version is that if you plan to use lightroom, be careful using the sharpening slider. It will create wormy like artifacts in your images. This is also true for using camera raw in Photoshop (lightroom and Camera RAW use the same underlying programming). If you really want to use Lightroom, I hear you can first run them through a program called Iridient which will make them work perfect in Lightroom. I decided to move to Capture One as part of my workflow with Photoshop. You will get a free version of Capture One with the purchase of this camera I believe (I did). It\'s been working great.Final Thoughts: The XT3 is a Weather Protected, lightweight camera that takes excellent images. I can\'t stress enough how it is so much more about the Photographer and understanding the mechanics of taking good pictures than it is about the camera. Have a vision for what you want to do, and understand the camera mechanics of making that vision come to life. With that said, the XT3 can help you get there.Hopefully this review helped you come to whatever decision you settle on. I relied on the reviews and advice of so many people online to help me come to my decision about this camera. In the end remember that it\'s less about the equipment and all about you having a great time when you are out there shooting. Good Luck!
