For this video I’m partnering with Squarespace and you can start your free Squarespace trial today at www.squarespace.com/andymumford use code ANDYMUMFORD to get 10% off your first purchase.
I’ve been using the Fuji X-T3 for a couple of months now after upgrading from the X-T2, and this isn’t an in-depth review of all the cameras details and features, a technical break down image quality or a comparison with other cameras. Instead, it’s an overview of how good I feel the X-T3 is for shooting landscapes based on my own experience with it and previous X-T series cameras.
If you’d like to join me for a landscape photography workshop in Norway's Lofoten Islands or the Dolomites I’ll be co-leading groups there in 2019. Check my website for more information www.andymumford.com/workshops/

Always nice to hear from people who use the kit and can really see and judge the results in real time. I've been nudged from Fuji to Sony to Panasonic and had a play about with an XT-1 today and loved it. Kinda nudged even further towards the XT-3 with your review now too and I look forward to finding my mojo again from a new camera and system, as I've lost the will to carry heavy camera, lenses and other bits and bobs.

Hi Gareth, thanks so much for the comment, I'm really glad you enjoy the videos. I actually don't do a lot of printing myself, most of it is commercial (books and magazines) and for print sales I just send them to my local lab, who I've been working with for years. However, Teresa (my wife) wants us to get a new print done for the wall, so it might be worth putting together a video about it. As for the new year, I'll be doing a lot of video shooting on some of the trips and I'm hoping to put together some capture in the field to processing videos. Have a great Christmas yourself, and all the best for 2019

Thank you for the great, thoughtful review. I am curious to know more about your thoughts on Capture One and how it affects your workflow. The difference in how it handled image files was really intriguing.

@AndyMumford 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the comment, I'm glad you liked the review. I've just started using Capture One and I'm still trying to find the most efficient way of incorporating it into my workflow as I use LR for cataloguing images. Basically in Lightroom I import images into subfolders of a New Images folders, where images stay until I've gone through them and edited them and moved them off into folders relating to location and date etc. In Capture One I open images from that New Images folder, and after processing I save them as full resolution TIFFS to a folder called Lightroom Auto Import. I've got LR set up to automatically import everything in that folder, so when I open Lightroom again the TIFF that I've processed in C1 is already there, and from there I just drag and drop it into the same folder as the original RAW image and create a stack. It works fine, and as I get used to using C1 more I think it'll get smoother.

Great review Andy. You are the first reviewer I've seen that has pointed out the special remote shutter release pin on the other side of the camera. That is brilliant and I didn't realise that Fuji had changed that from the XT2. It's such a drag having to move my L bracket so far from the body just to get the shutter release pin inserted in portrait mode. Now if they could just make the focus adjustment switch on the front bigger and more robust for the next model - perfection! Merry Christmas.

Excellent review, Andy. You will learn to love Capture One Pro 12. It is far and away a better piece of software for processing RAF files or NEF files (Nikon) for that matter. The only reason I go into LR CC any longer is if I have a very stubborn purple fringing or CA issue. C1Pro is a little lacking in that area. Generally I just process it, convert it to my preferred output then clean up the CA in LR & done. BTW, you will really get hooked on the Layers feature. That is a huge bonus!!

Great review! I am going to upgrade from my X-T20 in the New Year as I want something weather resistant. Was thinking about the X-T2 because of the great deals but I think I might as well spend the extra and go for the 3. I recently picked up the XF100-400mm for wildlife so the faster autofocus on the 3 would be great.

@AndyMumford 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks Dale, glad you liked the review. As I said, I can't give a serious opinion on the AF, but just playing around with it it certainly does seem pretty quick. The fact that the phase detection is all across the sensor area is really going to make a difference.

@lezyne1234 5 жыл бұрын

Easy choice if you can afford the X-T3. From my experience, i'd rather spend my whole budget on the latest camera rather than going for the older model and regret not getting the newest one later on. Personally, i'd get the X-H1 because i have some older lenses lying around without IS but i guess for wildlife the autofocus of the X-T3 trumps that.

@rbeaubien7868 5 жыл бұрын

Hi Andy. I recently switched from a Canon 70d to the Fuji xt-3. With LR to get the best results I first convert the Fuji raw files using Iridient, otherwise you can get wormy artifacts and in some cases a mushy image. The difference becomes really noticeable in low light conditions (city scrapes, Astro).

@AndyMumford 5 жыл бұрын

Hi Raymond, thanks for the comment. I also have Iridient Transformer, and it does indeed do a good job of Fuji RAW files, although to be honest I've never really had much of a problem with LR itself as I don't do any sharpening to the RAW (which it seems is where the worst of the worm artefacts appear). Since Fuji have started partnering with Phase One though, Capture One has really stepped up a notch and gives the best Fuji RAF conversion for my money, not just in terms of sharpness and detail, but in terms of highlight control (I can get highlights back in C1 that I can't in LR) and colour.

@himalaYAK1983 5 жыл бұрын

After more than 10 years I am very commited to switching from Canon full frame to Fuji APS-C after watching most videos on your channel. I love the X-T3s capability of shooting great stills and videos alike and all that for a very competetive price. I travel to Nepal almost every year and I came to hate carrying all this heavy stuff around the mountains all the time. In high altitude every gram matters. So I guess I will apply common sense and ditch most of my redundant gear. Also thanks heaps for getting that very resilient full frame monster out of my head. I took some time to finally kill it. You helped me.

Thanks for the comment, glad you've enjoyed the videos. At high altitude I can understand the need keep the weight down as much as possible.

That was when I started to really resent carrying it around, just any walk with it I really felt the weight

I'm enjoying landscape photography more and more and actually on your recommendations I also got the 10-24 and 55-200mm. I'm in doubt about the 8-16mm though, concerning size vs portability. As yourself, switched to the X series from FF Canon, finding weight and portability vs picture quality well worthwhile the minor loss in ISO and noise performance. Shooting wedding is sometimes challenging and handling of cameras has become more of an issue than before, when the lenses couldn't be big and beefy enough for my earlier macho photographer ego :-) BTW what filter systems do you use for your landscape work? I do consider joining one of you workshops, think it could a great experience. Well, all the best, and merry Xmas form Denmark

Hi Thomas, thanks for the comment, glad you like the videos. I know all about weddings, I used to be a wedding photographer but I moved over to full time landscape about 5 years ago and have never used the Fuji system for weddings. I can imagine it must be nice to use a small, light system like the Fuji. For filters I use NiSi 100mm filters. Happy Christmas to you too, and all the best for the New Year

Hi David, thanks for the comment. The review of the 8-16mm is pretty much recorded, I just need to find time to edit it together. I should be able to publish it next weekend I hope. I can say now that it is optically amazing, certainly the best wide angle zoom I've ever used, and up there quality-wise with the other red badge Fuji zooms. However, there is no way you can attach filters to it. I played around and tried to find a solution, but even if you could find a way of attaching the holder to the lens hood (which is fixed), it still vignettes up to about 15mm. The only solution will be with filters that are larger than 100mm.

@AndyMumford 5 жыл бұрын

I think that depends on the photographer really. I don't think the extra 2mm brings an additional compositional complications for anyone who's used to composing at 10mm, but the extra width is nice in places that have a rich foreground as well as for shooting stars, where the more sky you can fit in, the better.

Perhaps someone will come up with a solution at some point, but it will certainly involve bigger filters and a specialised holder.

@shirleybiddlecombe5831 5 жыл бұрын

Andy, so if I understood you correctly the X-T3 is a small upgrade from the X-T2 for a landscape photographer, but perhaps we shouldn’t be rushing out to replace our trusty workhorse? Like many people, I should a range of different photography, with a heavy bias towards landscape / seascape and so will probably continue using the X-T2 until the XH2 comes out (& then still keep the X-T2 as a backup body). As always, great video and love the images, which after all is all that matters. Dave

@AndyMumford 5 жыл бұрын

Hi Dave. In terms of absolute still image quality there is very little difference between the two cameras. The video features are absolutely superb and the addition of 10 bit colour gives considerably better video image quality. Obviously these will all come along with the X-H2 with the inclusion of IBIS, so yeah it might be worth waiting for if you prefer the stabilisation.

I have a Canon 5D4 and "lightened" my camera load by going to f/4 lenses (wide and tele) but stayed with the 24-70 f/2.8 (big and heavy). I soot landscapes a lot but do family photos, sports involving grandkids ,etc. I am seriously considering the x-T3 and Fujifilm lenses. I do create prints and the largest tend to be 24x36 inch (approx 60x90). I would hope the 26 MP sensor on the X-T3 could handle that. What do you think? BTW I dipped my toe in the Fujifilm system by purchasing the x100f as a walk around camera and love it! This led me to explore all of the Fuji cameras.And it also led me to your channel of which I am now a subscriber. Thank you.

@AndyMumford 4 жыл бұрын

How Florian, thanks for the comment, glad you enjoy the channel. For prints a general ratio is that you can print 100 pixels per centimetre, much lower than that and you start to notice. A 24mp camerea is usually 6000x4000 pixels, so that gives you prints of 60 x 40cm at native resolution. The 26mp sensor is slightly bigger, but not significantly, so to print at 60x90 it's better to uprez the file first. I believe the 5D4 is a similar resolution though so the results should be almost the same as with your old camera

@FlorianCortese 4 жыл бұрын

Are you able to customize Capture1 to more closely mirror Lr in terms of placement of controls with your tools on the left or right and I just scroll to the one I need? I heard you can but I only tried the free trial and I don't think I was able to customize button placement and I found the constant clicking in and out of menus to do simple edits to be maddening. It really slowed my workflow down. It's really the only reason I didn't go with it. Secondly, I noticed when adjusting shadows, you can only brighten them. The slider starts at 0 and can only go up. What if I want to darken the shadows? I can't imagine there isn't a way to do that. I've never seen a slider start on one end. They usually start in the middle and you can lift or lower it from there

@AndyMumford 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the comment. You can customise Capture 1 Pro pretty much however you'd like it to look and I've got mine set up very similarly to Lightroom. I made a video about it, which you can see here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y9d0pcaTyc_Gg5c.html As for the shadows, Capture One just works differently with contrast and those sliders are just for recovery. You can use the levels or curves tools to darken shadows, or you can use the Luma masks to just work with a particular tonal value.

I really wish I can set my mind to spend $2000 on 8-16mm but I really can't, regardless of how good the lens is. If I am a full time photographer, of course I will buy. And to me 10-24mm is not good, regardless how much it's been praised by Fuji users. I currently shoot with 16-55mm, 50-140mm and I'm very happy with it. I do need one wider than 16mm and I think 12mm is the sweet spot. So I'm considering to buy Zeiss Touit 12mm for Fuji. Have you ever tried this lens? Thank you for your videos!!

I had the Zeiss 12mm lens but got rid of it. Image quality is amazing, sharp edge to edge but using manual focus is terrible. First, the focus motors are slow and hunts quite a bit in low light. The manual focus is digital so not accurate. When you chimp - review your image - the focus has a tendacy to shift so the very next photo will be out of focus, even in manual focus mode! I tried using this as an astro lens but it was impossible because of this weird focus shift. Other photographers have commented on this too. I think Zeiss has long abandoned Fuji - they tried, it didn't work, so they moved on to Sony. Fuji has amazing glass and some of their newer lenses are snappy fast to focus even in low light.
