A brand that listens to customers will always win.

One thing to remember: Fuji will tweak the AF with future firmware updates, improving things like Eye AF and subject tracking.. with most other manufacturers you basically get no further improvements with firmware updates, you need to wait for the next camera if want better performance. Fun fact: on the X-T3 you can now update the firmware through the remote app, you don't need to download and put it on a SD card.

I love how you guys team up with a location that promotes a different form of art. Alway the best reviews from you guys!

Great review but I think you should have mentioned 3 things - how competitive the price is - the quality of the Fuij lenses and their affordability is a big plus - the fact this camera can shoot 30 FPS burst, never seen before in that type of camera.

I love it man, the day I bought the XT3, I couldn’t use my Canons anymore, I sold them all

At first I was quite shocked when you two left the CamerastoreTV, but now I have to admit that your reviews got even better with the dpreview-team. Always balanced, never biased like some of the other review channels out there, constructive criticism and at least as entertaining as before. Kudos for your work and I hope to see many more excellent reviews in the future! Thank you guys! :)

I gonna buy X-T3 after watched this video, thanks again Chris and Jordan

Amazing location, carefully shot, beautifully graded and composed and Chris and Jordan in top form - one of your best episodes ever. I really like!

My wife and I just photographed a wedding this past weekend and I just bought her a new xt2 for $1111. Now coming from my xe1, we loved the colors and how it would render pictures so much. I can't believe the upgrade from the first generation, I was telling her It's crazy to think that the xt3 is considered even faster autofocus because the xt2 is already damn good! I love Fuji! Thanks Chris and Jordan for the review! Any wooden nichols episodes in the near future?

I lived in Canada for 12 years, and my fondest memories come from the 2 years I spent in Calgary... Including doing the live sound for Grammy Award winner Donald Ray Johnson at the National Music Centre. This was before Studio Bell, though, in the building they shared across the street. What a cool, amazing group of people doing beautiful things to preserve the heritage of Canadian music.

I'm shooting whith the X-T3 for a week now. Which takes the X-T3 apart from the X-T2 is not only the sensor and the amazing autofocus system but the collection of all the small but worthful improvements. Maybe this one area which reviewers can't state about because they're no daily users. One big improvement for me is the maximum magnification while reviewing images another is the use of the sensor of the viewfinder while the selection the viewing possibilities. Also the different haptic of the knobs anfd the joystick is striking.

Looks like the X-H2 will be a very nice camera.

One thing I noticed with the X-T3 is that in ES mode under artificial lights, there is no banding at all, or at least I haven't experienced any yet. Banding was a huge problem with the X-T2 and this improvement means you can now shoot in silent mode, anywhere. It is also much much much better than the A7III in this aspect (which I also own), and it makes the X-T3 a great street photography camera. The mechanical shutter is already really quiet and the electronic shutter is even better. I am really looking forward to use the X-T3 in my upcoming Tokyo trip and in the Japanese culture, it is best to be quiet and not disturb other people.

so, am i hearing this is a stunning video focused body? im sold. been waiting a couple years to hear this kind of reaction from jordan

Seen so many good reviews on the X-T3. iBIS, - will suck it up, learn to Ninja walk or buy a gimbal. Just bought the sliver one with kit lense. Great, detailed review. Thanks.

The fact you shoot these on the actual camera is the special sauce.

I’m starting to think you’re just a PR rep for Calgary.

Great review. Gotta say, Jordan playing on the drums just overtook Chris' hair in terms of the coolness factor. Your move Chris.

Very nice video guys. Video production, acting, and now music skills? Jordan is a renaissance man! ;) I had a X100F for a while, but with the not-so-great video AF I eventually decided to trade it in because I needed the cash for something more versatile. The X-T3 shows me that I can consider the next revision of the X-H line because like you were saying it should have the flip screen and in camera shake reduction.

Not only a great review, but also a great video - congratulations! Really well composed, shot, and presented.

Save us XH-2!

Excellent review guys!

That moment we all learn Chris can play pian-ohhh.....

I'm always impressed with you Canadians and Chris especially he does a nice thorough job. I do like this Cam I would swap my 7Dmk2 in a HEARTBEAT I just wish Fuji could use Canon lenses.

Excellent balanced review. Chris and Jordan are the best presenters of this material on the best camera reference site in the world.

I hope Fujifilm won’t introduce a flip out screen to the X-T line. A flip out screen is only good for video/vlogging but for photography it’s only annoying with a flip out screen. A tilting screen like on the X-T3 is way better for photography in my opinion. They can put a flip out screen on the X-H line though.

Pro tip: The silver X-T3 produces better image quality than the black X-T3.

Thanks for validating my decision to go with the Fujifilm XT3!

This review convinced me to switch to Fujifilm for videography. Couldn't be happier :)

Jordan’s drum-face is... what’s the word I’m looking for.... “intense”? (love you, Jordan)

Just as Jordan is continuously impressed with the quality of the output of the X-T3, I am continually impressed with the output of Chris and Jordan! If you guys are reading this, 1) kudos! And 2) can you please do an episode on how you recover images like that blown out shot of Jordan who is magically restored before our eyes? You show these regularly to demonstrate image recovery and I am curious about how you do it. Thanks again for the great work you do!

Good review. Trying to decide whether to upgrade from the X-T2, and think I'm going to hold off for now. Love the X-T2 and for my purposes the 3 is not enough of an upgrade (I don't use it for video). Thanks Chris and Jordan for another superb job. I hope DPReview knows how good they have it with you guys on the team - best reviewers out there as far as I'm concerned.

Very good video! XT3 is probably the best camera to choose, especially with the lens selection they offer.

Wow guys, the quality and effort that has gone into this review is incredible. thank you.

Great review! That’s why I always count on DPR for a fair and practical view of ALL photografic gear, regardless of brand and personal preferences.

This might just be the camera I have been waiting for. Just going to see what they come up with on their X-H2. Before I buy.

Ya'll deserve way more subscribers. I love how thorough your reviews are.

By far these guys are the best and more reliable source for reviews.| Thank you so much.

*THANK YOU* for this great report! - 1:38 … If you compare ISO(APS-C) with ISO(FF), you should use the equivalent values; for example: IS (APS-C) = 3200 with ISO(FF) = about 7200 (x Crop^2). An example of equivalent pictures: FF: f = 45mm, k = 9, ISO = 9000 APS-C: f = 30mm, k = 6, ISO = 4000 Kind regards

the music in background is awesome at 2:17

We need a two years review

THE FUNNIEST INTRO. Presses a piano key.... "I think I made music..." ^u^

big reason to use fuji is size over the mirrorless full frame. i returned the a7iii because the lenses are ridiculous.

Also would love to see a high bit rate for video comparison between the A73 and the XT3. A lot of people will cite liking the full frame "look" in the new age of pixel peeper-mania, but I really need to see how the Sony's 100mb/s bit rate versus the Fuji's 400mb/s (plus all color modes and log) play out in both the acquisition state and for coloring in post. I'm also wondering if in post the Fuji footage can mimic/match the Sony dynamic range having all that extra data (~4x) to work with.

I love my Fujifilm cameras - all 4 of them. I also love your reviews. You guys do a fantastic job.

Absolutely love the colour, contrast and feel coming off of this camera. Thanks guys.

I'd have liked to see the performance with the classic lenses like 35mm 1.4, the 60mm 2.4, the 23mm 1.4... But really good review and really good camera, I'm happy seeing Fuji committing in the video department

this is the best review and best footage video of Fujifilm X-t3 i have ever seen on KZfaq. i like the part part that how you break out which lens you use for difference prospectively aerials .. Thanks for good video. But my question is is this camera is good enough for next couple years ... And which lens is most useful for X-t3?

Fuji I LOVE your flip SCREEN concept! They have in my opinion the best flip screen arrangement on the marked. Makes high/low photo a breeze compared to the Panny/Oly/Canon idea where you have to flip it all the way out before rotating etc which makes you miss the moment. 100% cudos to Fuji here. This vlogging-thingy is just for a few users compared to the large amount of photographers out there.

Yay im happy to always keep my made in japan xt2 with better high iso :)) but i might get a backup xt3 eventually

If christ is reviewing I will watch a review of a rock for a hour and will make me happy..

What a building! RUSH! Yes, I grew up with that music and seems them live twice, 1983.. & 2004. And that synthesizer! Oh I like the X-T3 review too :-)

Switched from x-t20 to X-T3 great difference in controls customization ergonomics and the IQ. Use 16mm (perfect for night & street photography) , 10-24, 18-55, 50mm very satisfied with the results and the ease to use. I do also use 5DM4, and 80D but that’s a totally different story :)))

Still not convinced about the eye AF. It jumps wildly around the iris, but hardly any time hits the iris. In this video where the eye AF is shown in action, it is as evident as in any other video I have seen on the eye AF. This is still different to sony, where their eye AF sticks to the iris consistently, rather than jumping around it. I'd expect from the X-T3's jumping pattern, that the X-T3 eye AF will hit a lot the eyebrow or whatever else it jumps onto next to the iris. So, it won't be an advantage over face detect, when it comes to not nailing the focus on the iris.

This is going to be my new camera when I pick up photography again in the near future (when I saved up enough!). Thanks for the great review and beautiful footage from the National Music Centre.

Great review & venue! Will have to check out the National Music Centre next time I'm in Calgary .

„Eye detect AF doesnt work with Deadmau5!“ Hilarious! Joel should do the soundtrack for your next vid ;-)

Awesome review guys; you’re the best!!

A camera is only one thing. I bought my first "real" camera two weeks ago (xt3) so I looked up maaany videos on youtube. But everybody was most time speaking about either the body or the lenses. So I came of course to the conclusion that the Sony A73 is still the king in the market. But when I compared (body and lense) the size and weight of the Sony full frame with the Fuji Apsc I realized that FullFrame is not for me (non professional shooter). Love your videos anyway.... so keep up the great work

I went into my local camera store to check out the X-e3 but had a look at the X-T3 as well. Have to say i was very impressed with the feel, layout and how bright and large the view finder was (I wear glasses) plus the price with lens was competitive. Now I’m not sure what to do, I wanted something smaller and lighter than my current DSLR, an old Canon 40D, and sure the X-T3 is smaller and lighter but I was looking for something with a simple, less cluttered layout. I also like the flip out screen (wish the X-e3 had that) the flip out to the right I think is for portrait use, an interesting idea. I got the X-E3 in the end I’m very happy with it.

DPReview used to be my favorite photography review site.

Nicely done, as usual. I especially like your guys' production values, composition and sound. Your voices are soothing yet not boring. I detest those "pukers" we hear so often in videos, trying to hype everything as if the world's about to end. As to the camera, it seems nice, but I guess I can stick with my Canon EOS M-6.

I think all your reviews from now on should include clips of Jordan running. Watch out Tom Cruise, you've got some competition! Seriously, though, great review. I just upgraded from the XT1 and I'm really impressed and somewhat overwhelmed by the increased capabilities of this camera.

What lens did you use on your last wrap-up shot in front of the yellow trees? It’s sharp as a tack and has beautiful out of focus bokeh

3:00 - "the most Canadian thing you will ever see" *looks at NJ devils sticker on drum*

That’s it, I’m getting it

4th time I have watched this review! This is how to do a camera review! Fab! The colors look very cinematic too:)

4k60 ;) @6:44 BEAUTIFUL shot. I don't care much about convincing other people fuji is so great but I gotta say there's something about shadow falloff that just separates itself from other cameras I've used. Definitely a gallery worthy shot...the composition is like a painting incredible. I really hope you saved that raw. Would be great to see a re-review of new FW changes after a7 comes out. Cant wait till IBIS & Z-like battery are a thing P.S. WE NEED TAP TO TRACK!!

At 10:28 the GH5 footage has more dynamic range in both the shadows and with better separation of the three acrylic hanging lights. If the Fuji has 12 stops of DR, the GH5 has 13 here.

Theres quite a bit to improve in order to stay competitive with Sony APSC, Panasonic, and Sony A7 iii. It feels like Fuji really struggled. They needed improved AF and stuff so a new sensor is needed, yet while trying to add those features ISO and dynamic range sort of got a bit worse. They had a bad rep on video capabilities so they did their best to turn that around, and the result is impressive. They needed IBIS, so they made a second camera that has it, perhaps hoping to make more money to recoup the hefty R&D cost. It just feels like the company really struggled to make it, and they crossed the finished line all huffing and puffing, barely made it, yet it shows that they are focused, know what they're doing, know what they need to do, and got it done, so that is really impressive. And at the same time they got the GFX line to worry about, too, another huge undertaking, also very competitive with full frame cameras having such high resolutions and dynamic range now, plus that pixel shift feature that can double the resolution, if needed. And GFX lenses are more expensive, too, naturally, plus eventually itll need to shoot videos and sports, as well, plus the extra features like slow motion and stuff. So that's going to be an uphill battle, as well. Very ambitious company that has a clear vision and know what they're doing. Will I buy it? Hard to say. I think it has good lenses that are cheaper than the full frame cameras, and its smaller and more light weight. But I think its biggest asset is still with the film simulations that makes the editing process easy and the shooting experience more fun. I think it's for consumers who see the value in that, that they can just take it along for their activities and get great images. I think for people who are more serious they still would prefer full frame. It costs more than the Somy APSC cameras, so entry level guys would probably opt for that more than the Fuji. Overall, I think it's for people who has more money and are not too hardcore of enthusiasts, or people who want the best image quality with the smallest size. It's for rich people who aren't quite so rich to buy Leica, but want something better than Sony APSC, that like photography but not enough to want to lug full frame cameras around, I think. And I think it's a successful product, but at the same time, XT2 is going to be cheaper now, for those who are not into videos, which I think offers a great value, as the image quality is going to be about the same.

Review in a museum? Great idea... A welcome alternation...thanks

I thought Chris was gonna bust out Black Parade by My Chemical Romance when he played that note on piano.

awesome camera! i 'm really curiours how sony will answer. the sony a7000 has to be great.

I upgraded my X-T1 with the T2 as soon as it was released, but I'm not even considering the upgrade to the T3. I would upgrade to a H2 with this new sensor though.

Great review, this camera has amazing video features in a photo-centric body. Here hoping we see many new features from firmware updates. Top of the list on the photo side is pixel shift and on the video side i hope to see video recording out via usb-c out to a ssd drive.

Stoked with the review guys. Mine just arrived today! No lens yet though :(

Wish this video were published at 60 fps, to fully get the effect of the xt-3's video

I need more x-t3 videos! This looks like such a good camera and I need a new one. When is dpreview coming out with their official review?????

Is this Chris from The Camera Store ?

Great review! Thanks! Yes, i agree...this is a great camera- but there are 2 important things missing: ibis and the flip out screen (like on the gh5). Looking forward for the xh2.

Hello! Once every 2-4 months, regardless of the reasons, the camera settings are completely reset to the factory settings. Batteries are always charged - this is definitely not the reason. How to deal with it? annoying kapets as ... you have to re-start from scratch, starting from the choice of language, configure everything. And most importantly, backup settings on the computer can not be done either? HELP! 😮‍💨🙄🤕

Been waiting for this review 💯💯💯

Thanks for the review guys! Sounds like a great camera, but... Jordan, I completely agree about IBIS and the flippy screen. If (when?) they make an X-H2 I will probably upgrade from my X-T2.

If Fuji made a Fujifilm x100 with the exact same specs as the Fujifilm xt3, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

I am so happy I invested in this system...

Aside from missing flip screen, missing IBIS .. it is missing also Custom buttons... and saved preset Buttons.. for ez switch to FHD 120p, 4k 60p , 4k 30p....with their desired settings..

Jordan kissed the xt3 wearing a D850 jacket... wtf lol

Photo at 6:42 is somehow making me feel nostalgic.... There's something there I can't quite pin down.

Droppin' the "bass"-ISO - good one Chris! :D

Now, if Fuji releases an X-M2/3 with all these features, including the evf, I'll promise to buy it. I like my cameras small.

Would love to see an expanded moire in HFR comparison video between the Sony, GH5, XT2, XT3 mentioned at around 12:30 on the timeline here.

Just DROOLING over this camera. I just picked up a second-hand GH5, but already considering picking up the X-T3 instead... Love the image, love the color, love the lowlight, love the better focus!

Great video as usual - I’d like to see a comparison of the X-H1 and XT3, especially for video.

Yay, the return of the garbage bin ! Anyway, great review (and damn, that National music Center is absolutely gorgeous !). Now I have to buy one (X-T3, not a Music Center...)

I like ibis for videos. But it can die at some point and if it brakes it's gonna be fatal. I am using the xt2 right now and I'll upgrade as soon as possible to the xt3 or even the xh2 when it's released (I don't know if I wanna wait that long but its gonna be amazing). All in all I prefer the fuji because of the handling and I really can't see that much of a difference in terms of quality to fullframe cameras. (I also just could not care enough) thanks for the amazing video!

If you shoot 10-bit video, wouldn't you need a 10 bit monitor to view the extra colors?

it seems like the 3 main things for Fuji to focus on are getting the IBIS into the X-T4, without making it too much bigger and heavier, as well as the fully articulated flip touchscreen, and working in low light and high ISO so that it is back to being on par or better than the X-T2 was.... if they can manage those 3 things, they have a serious winner... I might look into the X-T100 for now, to play with a Fuji and start getting knowledge about their lenses.... if I had $2500-3000 to toss at a camera right now, I'd be ordering an X-T3, a couple OIS lenses, and a microphone setup for basic VLOG type videos...

Man that modular synth.... ooooh yes.

give me these features in a X100 body thanks!

Hello. I understand new firmware got released for the X-T3 to enhance autofocus. Does that now match the Sony system? With the X-T4 coming out soon, I'm expecting this price to drop a bit for the X-T3. Might be now the perfect camera for me to consider.
