The XT3 is the reason motivation for photography came back to me for all eternity after moving from Nikon DSLR. I love Fuji

Love my XT3, only thing I wish Fujifilm will fix this on a firmware update is letting user save white balance shift for individual custom settings, like all the newer bodies. That’s not too much to ask for lol!

I was a serious amateur photographer in the early 70’s . I still have my Nikon FTN and four lenses but haven’t shot film in over 25 years. When I retired this year I decided to get back into photography. You and Omar are the reason I bought an XT3. It was a great buy and I’m really happy with it. Thank you and happy Friday!

Sold my X-T3 at the start of the pandemic as it was ‘my’ camera for me as a luxury item. Love the user experience, images, ergonomics….. As soon as the pandemic subsided and my husband’s business was no longer in jeopardy - I could not wait to get another one in my hands. Just recently bought it again because I missed it so much. Great video, Chris. It is still such an enjoyable camera to use. So glad I was fortunate enough to pick it up again.

I updated to the X-T4 simply because I have found that, due to age (darn it), IBIS is a big deal. The greater battery capacity is certainly a plus, and since I mainly use the viewfinder, the screen is a non-issue. In fact, I like that it flips closed when not in use. Having said that, I would add that another big plus for the X-T3 is how well it has held its value, making the jump to the newer model less painful. (Both KEH and MPB are making it much easier to recycle used gear without the fuss of going through online auctions.) Its always a a pleasure watching your videos. Your positive approach makes my day much more enjoyable.

Thank you for giving the XT3 so much love! It is my all-time favorite Fuji camera and I rarely leave home without it for the XT 30. I have no need for later bells and whistles when such perfection exists in this little beauty!

I started with the XT4 because I thought it would be better to have the newest version. I later added the XT3 as a second body/backup. I ended up really loving the XT3, especially the tilt screen! No contest, the 3 is still a great camera in 2022. Thanks!

I shoot on the Fuji X-T2, and I would say even this venerable model is still relevant in 2022! I've got my eye on trading up to the X-H2s, but I'll always love my trusty X-T2 till the day it dies...

Came from a D3500 that I barely used, thought about getting G2 glass from Tamron when someone convinced me that the glass would very much outrun the body. I agreed. Early 2022 grabbed an X-T3 & have loved it every time I use it. Plus the savings on money vs the X-T4. I don't need anything for video so an X-T3 made a lot more sense. Also lucky to have you & one other channel for good Fuji info.

Great vid Chris, every (enthusiastic) word you said is true, and then some. The XT3 can only be bettered by one camera, .......a XT2!

Living in Brazil the X-T3 is almost the only option that I have. Been shooting everything that i can for 2 years and this thing holds up amazingly.

In finally graduating from an x-t20 to an x-t3 used. I’m very excited and can’t wait to get it. Thank you so much for educating me in all things Fujifilm!

I owned my last film camera for over a decade. Then I got my first digital camera in 2004. After that, thanks to marketing and the "pixel race", I bought a new digital camera every 2-3 years from then. I eventually got tired of all that. After traveling with my X-E3 for about a year, I liked it so much I bought an X-T3 to replace my Nikon DSLR and basically went 100% Fujifilm. Not only have I never reconsidered going back to full frame, I haven't even considered one of Fujifilm's newer options. I love the X-T3.

I just got the Tamron 17-70 2.8 for my X-T3 and I’m loving it! The X-T3 was my introduction to Fujifilm. It’s here to stay!

I have my X-T2 and love it. As long as it works, I won't trade it for a higher model. And even then I'll have it on my shelf.

I love my XT3! I dipped my toe into the Fujufilm water several years ago with the X100F. Shortly after using it, I sold all of my Canon full Frame DSLR gear and dove into Fujifilm with the XT3 and 3 Fujifilm lenses and never looked back. I'm interested to see what Fuji has in store for the XT5. I love the XT-3's LCD screen and hope against hope that the XT5 will have it rather than the flippy screen. If not, I may just keep on trucking' with this XT-3 beauty! Have a great weekend, Chris!

I got two X-T3's for video since that's pretty much all of my work, and the fact that Canon and Sony's APS-C cameras STILL haven't caught up to the X-T3 in functionality and flexibility with the possible image that you can get out of it, it really shows how much effort Fujifilm has put into not just crafting a really fun and creative experience (which is a huge perk in and of itself), but also giving you the ability to do so much more with the image than pretty much any other camera around that price point.

You can see the passion and charisma you have and that is wonderful

I've got the X-T2, and I don't like to use the word "LOVE" to describe an object or a tool, but I still love my X-T2, and have no reason to upgrade at this point (6 years after my purchase). The prints I make on my 13" x 19" Canon printer look remarkable. So I really don't need the newest, shiniest, best camera on the market; honestly. This camera does everything I need. Sure, I would like to have some of the features of the X-T3 or X-T4? Yes, but I don't NEED them. At some point I might move to the latest-and-greatest X-series camera, and have the X-T2 converted to infrared, or keep it as a backup. But for now, I'm sticking with my beloved X-T2. :-) Thanks for the great videos pal2tech!!!

When I was shopping for a camera I checked out many different options over about a year's time. The XT-3 ended up as my choice for several reasons. First, it was the most affordable and capable camera for the cost. I was able to find a barely used, like new body with the 18-55, the Fuji grip(non battery), extra batteries, chargers and all still in the original boxes for about half the cost of just a body for other brands. Secondly, I wanted something that I could learn/improve with yet would be of high quality for a fairly long time and still adequate as I become a better photographer. Plus, would be good if I decided to give videography a shot some day. Finally, since the last camera I used was my Ricoh XR-P from 1984, I liked that the XT-3 had the physical controls, especially the aperture ring on the lenses. In the end, after watching loads of videos by people like Chris, Omar Gonzales, Mark Denney, Thomas Heaton and many others I decided on the XT-3. The community around this camera is so good. There is so much help and information available out there when you need it. So far, it's been a great camera and a great experience.

Everything I know about my XT3 I learned from you. Thank you.

I am still shooting with an XT2 and since I don't really care about video I am very happy. Yes it could have improved autofocus but it is still very serviceable.

I'm an X-T3 owner (I have two) since 2019 and I really love this camera. And I think if I have to purchase another Fuji for any reason, probably it would be another X-T3. And by the way, I really hate the flip-out screen. I hope Fuji reconsider the flip-out mania in the next camera releases.

I have been the proud owner of a new X-T3 camera with a 23mm f2 lens for six weeks now. What a powerhouse and what options in terms of settings. I am therefore very happy with your videos, which I have already used a lot. I am sure I will enjoy this fantastic camera for years to come.

I love that my XT3 is from 2018 yet still out classes many other cameras.

Thank you, sir! Love my X-T3, wouldn't trade it. You're my favorite channel when it comes to ANYTHING Fuji related. Thanks for taking the time! 👍

I love my XT-3! And, yes, I read the manual, but I prefer to watch your videos!

When I made the leap to mirrorless and went with a X-T3 it was because of you. You have no idea how much you help me understand and use this camera. I am continuously going back to your videos. Thank You.

I don’t need the XT-3 handbook, who needs it when you are far better to learn from. Keep up your Stirling work and keep us smiling at the same time 👍😀😀

Yep! Fujifilm X-T3 has been the best dSLR I've owned hands down!

My X-T3 brought back the joy in photos and videos for me. Canon and Sony had the horsepower but lacked that fun factor. Fuji X-T3 has both 😁

Gracias a ti y tus videos decidimos comprar una XT3 para nuestro estudio y fue una de las mejores decisiones que hemos tomado. ¡Gracias!

your X-T3 videos are what introduced me to the channel and that was 3 years ago wow. makes me genuinely happy to see you still making x-t3 videos, and to get that reassurance from the man himself that it’s still a really good camera puts a smile on my face.

Thanks. I just recently got one and it’s the best camera I have ever owned. It has renewed my love of photography. Oh and the tips on this channel, on how to use it, has been priceless. Happy clicking!

I still prefer my 6-year-old XT2 for taking photos. The images look less digital with truer colors and less low light noise. Nothing do with photography but the XT2 is made in Japan.

I love my X-T3 too - and my X-Pro3 and my X100F and my X-Pro1 and my X-T2 und in 3 weeks my X-H2 ♥️

X-T3 was such a perfect camera at the time. For upcoming X-T5, Fujifilm could use X-T3 as a base, keeping every design, dials and buttons, just adding new sensor, processor, IBIS and new battery, and I'll be happy to make an upgrade.

I started with a Canon 80d and a bunch of different lenses and sold them all to pick up an X-T3 and an 18-55mm XF lens and it was honestly the best decision I made so far with my photo taking journey.

Love my X-T3 as well. Didn’t see the need to upgrade ever since

I love my X-T3, and Fuji has yet to present something that makes me want to upgrade. You forgot a detail, that makes the X-T3's flip-out screen better than many others: flip-out in portrait mode.

My XT3 was a gift. Best gift ever. Prior camera was a Nikon F2.

I love to see the XT3 representation here. I love my XT3-- such a small camera with so much power.

4 years already. No way. I still love mine.

Your videos are immensely helpful to me in setting up my own Fujifilm cameras. Your videos are informative and entertaining and when I filmed videos on my x-t3 the quality was so much better. I've since sold the x-t3 (dumb decision) and since I can't find it in silver anywhere I'm going to get the x-t4. Luckily I've bookmarked some of your videos that talk about settings for the x-t4 and it will make the whole process much easier.

I liked the X-T3 so much that, thanks to $999 sales, I ended up with 3 of them. I dedicated one to Zoom calls, with the battery grip that enables the use of wall power, and with the port door removed (yay!). The video autofocus works great for Zooming - I don't have to worry about it. Also, people on the calls sometimes remark on the good image quality. The other two bodies are dedicated to photography. Agree about the metering dial! And I love the tilting LCD, though I understand the appeal of the flippy screens. It's a really well designed camera. It's a classic! I'm hoping the X-T5 will be another milestone.

I purchased my xt3 apx. 6 months after release, have may lenses in the eco system. Never giving it up… however I got a Nikon d850 on sale and have to say the dynamic range and it’s 45 mp, great for cropping then printing is end game also for me. Fuji for on the go and Nikon for landscapes, wildlife architecture! This channel is a wonderful resource for my Fuji and remain a loyal subscriber. Thanks everyone!

I have two XT-3’s and love them, Myself I have no need for the flippy screen I’ve never even used the touch screen features. Ps you are my manual. I enjoy every video you put out even if it doesn’t pertain to anything that I need to know. Thanks 🙏

I‘m a X-T3 owner and I love it. Thanks for the video 🙏👍👍👍.

Fully agree. Bought an X-T3 in 2019 to replace my heavy Nikon DLSRs and never looked back. Simply love it. Don't have the intention to upgrade to the X-T4 or x-H2 because this little camera has all I need and more.

Things like the L & H setting on the dial are great things for photographers. As a life long photographer I have always found it’s the the simple things that help a photographer in the moment that really count. You can forget about all those in-depth menu settings - that’s just nuances. A good sensor with good processor and logical, quick access to the important exposure triangle settings is what really matters. Although I use a couple of different Fuji X-E cameras, my main camera is a full frame Pentax K-1 and they’ve really nailed the ergonomics with buttons and dials that work and feel great in action. These are the things that help you in the field

I just bought mine a month ago. I have an X-T20 which I love but I always struggled with the smaller viewfinder and not being WR. So I got a brand new X-T3 for 950 euros (about 1000 USD) and i love it. I coudn't be happier. I don't shoot movies and although I reckon IBIS is a great feature which I could give use to, I saved a couple hundred euros ( comparing to the XT4) to get me some more Fuji glass :D PS: the XS10 was not an option since I tried one and felt I was going backwards by losing those sweet manual dials. So it was a no brainer.

I bought my first Fujifilm camera in 2022: the X-T3! ⚡ I love the X-T3 so far. My decision against the newer X-T4 was only because of the flip screen.

It doesn't get enough love. It's a great camera and I have never felt the need to "upgrade" to something else.

Thank you man :) needed that video. The X-T3 is a great camera and I’m re inspired to use mine and possibly read the manual again hahah

Thank you so much for all the insight about a wonderful camera that is here to stay, I feel you surpass many photography channels with your video about why the Xt3 is still very relevant today.

I have an xt3 and I think it is a spectacular camera, it still has many years of use left, I very much agree with what you say in this video, congratulations for your channel, from CHILE a big greeting and hug.

So true. I have two XT-3's. Love them and use them both frequently. Another benefit - they take the same batteries as my X100V so I don't need to lug around as many extra batteries/chargers.

Love my XT3. The low light performance when shooting video with DR100 is mind-blowing.

I love my fujifilm xt3 it’s perfect for everything I need good for video and photography and i haven’t felt limited by it.

XT-3 is power. I confess that when I left another brand I was kind of scared, but I was amazed by the potential of this camera and its amount of features.

What a great presentation Chris! My beautiful X-T3 is just sitting a metre from me right now and if I had any doubts about its currency, you've just swept them away........ Talk about great timing. Terrific video and thanks for sharing Chris.... :)

You ˋre so right! The X-T3 was the best Fujifilm X camera ever. Unfortunately, I sold them and bought an X-T4 for them, wich I regretted very much. Image stabilization was advertised, but it has no relevance in practical practice. Also the autofocus is by no means better than with the X-T3.

I love my X-T3 more than any other camera I have owned over the last 35 years. I love it for all the reasons you mentioned and more, but here is my reason #11: owning it is what led me to your youtube channel, which is my favorite photography channel! :)

I've been using an X-T1 for years and just bought a lightly-used X-T3 and am quite impressed with the slew of extra features and upgrades it has.

Just got a Fuji X-T3 in excellent shape with a fuji vertical grip, 2 extra batteries, and a custom hotshoe cover and shutter button from my local camera shop with for $699, very pleased with the find and the camera itself!

I bought my XT3 in 2020 after being influenced by your excellent videos! ;-) And it was a perfect choice! I love my XT3. Thank you so much for all the information and your videos about the settings. It help me a lot to get the best of my camera !

I think that the xt3 and the xpro 2 where the sweet spot in fujifilms line up! Xt5 should just use the xt3 body and screen system and just updated the internals, Great video. Absolutely love my xt3s

Got mine in September of 2018, still like and use it every day - pretty much in the same way I enjoyed my very first film SLR back in 1980 (which btw I also still own and use😊) Even though I bought my X-T3 new with the superb Fuji 16-55 lens, I have almost exclusively shot using fine vintage lenses (VEB Carl Zeiss Jena DDR) for the past 3+ years. Simply great. Thanks for all your valuable help along the way! Much appreciated.

still use my xt3 all the time, paired with the 16-55 that never comes off the camera, love it :)

No need to say that i totally agree with every single point. 👍👍👍 I love my X-T3 !

I was on the wait list for the X-T30 II when the price dropped on the X-T3. I’m glad I made the decision to switch. I knew the X-T4 was more camera than I needed. My only complaint is that Fuji ships the new cameras without a physical manual. Luckily I was able to get one from KEH.

Totally agree, I love my two XT 3 cameras. Image quality is stunning too.

I've had my XT3 for about 2 years now and have taken maybe 50 shots with it; it's basically brand new in the box. I need to use it more. It's a beautiful camera but I also have an XT20 which I use all the time that I've been kicking around for a few years that still works great

Oh, nice to hear that, I ordered mi x-t3 just few hours ago, to upgrade my x-st30. No need of this review to decide, but I appreciate the confirmation that you consider it still a modern camera after 4 years from its debut.

XT3 owner over here. Still haven't anything above the kit lens as the prices are high :/ Love the kit lens but wish it was weather sealed.

Indeed, one of my Street Fuji gears, black XT3 with the amazing 33mm f1.4 for night street photography (and DxO for denoizing high iso RAW).

the intro is so much better

After seeing a couple of vídeos on your channel I bought a Fuji, you cleared up all the doubts I had. And I ended up buying an xt3 😬

Coming from Canon, X-T3 is camera since it has been released. I have no feeling I need to upgrade it. Even better, the more I lean to use it, the more it helps me to improve my skills. I would even dare to say now I shoot only raw and use Capture One that the camera is becoming a smaller part of the equation. Now my settings are the minimum because I know C1 will do the job after. The most important thing for me is to get the best frame in order to avoid too crop too much after (the only drawback of APS-C). I think, except for pros, with an X-T2 you are already beyond the most amazing possiblities in 90 % of the situations, upgrading is marketing.

Love m’y Xt3 which I am combining with a xs10 as a second body.They Share the same batteries and the great x Line of lenses . I see no reason to change this winning team… thanks for your high quality inputs. Keep going . Hello from Belgium

Huge fan of the xt3 as well. Bought a second one used this year and they're the cameras I use for weddings. Yes IBIS, faster focus and a little better high ISO performance would be nice, but for a camera that is 4 years old I think that it's still holding it own. I was very worried about the battery performance in the beginning, but once you learn how to manage it, you can do a wedding day and take 3000 pics with 4 batteries which I feel is fine. Thanks for yet another enjoyable video !!

I got one 1 month ago in mint condition for 600euros. Very satisfied with it

Love my X-T3. It's a better camera than I am a photographer.

Yip, at the end I have both XT-3 and Xt-4. Honestly I love Fujifilm because of pal2tech !! Thankyou Chris.

My favourite Fuji Channel.Thank you so much.

Love it too!! My first interchangeable lens Fuji!! Always in my heart!!

I love my x-t3 and my x-t30. I don't need all that video stuff like headphones and so but they are just amazing cameras 😍

I paid just a bit more than 1000 bucks for the X-T3 in late 2019. It was Fuji cashback time and the shop I bought it from gave another one. That was a bargain. I still love it. It doesn't feel like an outdated camera at all.

I really love my X-T3! Was my first Fujifilm camera and shoot my favourite photos with it. I will keep it even if I upgrade to the upcoming X-T5

Sounds like you are back! I'm glad for you!

What about the more compact XT-30? It would be great if you could make a video on that someday, since from what I understand it is a bit simplified and cheaper version of the X-T3.

I love my X-T3 in 2024!!

X-T3 is a great camera! The only reason I like my X-T4 better is the stabilization and battery life. If it weren't for that, I'd have no issues buying an x-t3. I even would go back to the x-t2.. miss that camera.

I think I'll keep my X-T3. Seems to be worth more than when I bought it, lol. Seriously, it's a great camera.

The screen! Please bring it back tot he X-T5!

My XT-3 is less than a year old and it has a busted up expo comp dial and other scruffs from being used in a lot different places. I have a metal hand grip on it for added protection and being able to hold it comfortably. I love the button on the side of the lcd screen to flip it upwards in portrait mode. Battery life is pretty good; I always carry an extra with me. The only thing is the lack of IBIS for handheld videos.

I recently borrowed a mates Sony A7Riii..... I felt no affinity towards it and was glad to hand it back and reach for my XT3. 🙂😎👊👍

Why I love my xt-3 camera iknow it will be worth it 😊

This is so reassuring 😀 I’m ‘cutting my teeth’ on an XT3 that I bought a couple of years back. Then the 4 came along with in body stabilisation and I started to feel a bit left behind. Then I told myself “Hey, this 3 doesn’t suddenly become a bad camera.” Which I knew all along of course but seeing you confirm this…well, it’s a good feeling. Greetings from Co. Tipperary and thanks for all the good video content. The best. 📷

You are so right.... 100% For my daily shooting I use the X-E3.... small and powerfull. But for pro jobs. I love the X-T3. So you are just right. Thanks.
