Lately I've been struggling with not only winter, but also with the thought of selling my beloved Fujifilm XT3 to buy the newer XT5. In this video, I am showing you some of my favourite photos taken with the XT3 (unfortunately only a few, since I didn't want to be talking for one hour) and I take you for a short walk around the Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna… during a very ugly, cold day. What do you think? Does it make sense to update?

I always hear Fuji shooters talk about being “attached” to their cameras and lenses and I think that’s really special. Something about this brand just attracts impactful memories like a magnet. I’m going through it myself right now. I’ve been doing loads of motorsports photography this year so I’d like to trade one of my cameras for the X-H2S, but I’m just so attached to my X-T2, X-E3 and even my X-S10 (which was my faithful companion through the crazy times in 2021) that I can’t bring myself to let a single one go. I’ve resorted to dusting off old iPads and video games instead to sell on eBay and fund my new camera purchase, even though I know deep down that I definitely don’t NEED 4 Fuji APS-C bodies. They’re all staying with me though!

@TCinSoCal Год назад

I buy and sell lots of gear & Fuji gear.. will never sell my X-E2. It will never bring what it’s worth to me personally.

I have an XT-1 that I still love to shoot. It takes magical pictures. Thankfully, some people are buying the XT-5. That was great for me because it allowed me to get a really great deal on my XT-3. I feel that I have the best camera gear that I have ever owned right now. So there is no XT-5 in my near future. I enjoyed your video.

I will continue to shoot with my XT-3 camera bodies with battery grips & Fuji lenses. Made the switch from Canon to Fuji several years ago & do not regret doing so. Fuji cameras & lenses offer tremendous value for their price point.

Honestly cannot tell the difference in photos from X T2, T3, T4 and X H2S. They're all fantastic. Can't tell difference in video from X T3 onward to the X H2s. Your content just proves my point. I currently shoot with the X H2s but going to pick up an X T3 (which I've shot with in the past) as a backup and lightweight kit for travel/street photography.

@1bozina Год назад

I am a 57 year old Nikon shooter. I bought my first Nikon in roughly 1986. It was an FG20. Since then, I have shot multiple makes of cameras and multiple formats, both film and digital. My current favorite film camera in 35mm is the FM3A. My favorite medium format camera is the Fuji GA645. I shoot real estate and portraits professionally and use Nikon D810s, Z6s, and Z7s. Since I shoot the Z bodies, I also acquired a Z50. It renders very good files and is great for backpacking. Late in 2022, I bought a used X-T3 along with a few X mount primes... Yesterday, I purchased a 2nd used X-T3 with extra batteries. The only thing I miss a little is IBIS (spoiled with the FX Z bodies). Everything else about the X-T3 is great! I love carrying it everywhere I go.

@davidfirth1 Год назад

XT3 was on my list, but XT4 won me over with the bigger battery, flip screen, and IBIS. But, I'll recommend the XT3 to people all day long. It is great bargain in the used market, given the popularity (and several hundred USD extra cost) of a used XT4.

@MarceloLangame Год назад

Yeah, man! I have the same feeling about the X-T3's shutter sound. It's "creamy". I'll never sell it. 😄 I have 11 bodies of multiple brands, but the X-T3... is pleasure.

@SyedNizamudeen 10 месяцев назад

Watching this video in 2023 and I got my XT3 when it was launched. Still love it and don't have the urge to buy a new body. Wishing to buy the new XF 70-300. But, I must admit I'm pretty happy with 23 f2 and 56 f1.2 with what I shoot. The colours out this camera mimics somewhat a film like nostalgia and way I handled the camera before fuji and after fuji is very different and xt-3 is a bundle of joy to me personally. Thanks for the video.

I had a XT30 for a year and I also use Sony-a7 iv but due to some financial difficulties during Covid I sold fuji XT30, I can’t tell you how close that camera to my heart. I use to sleep keeping it next to me like a small child. Sony is like a computer always does the right thing but I felt Fujifilm cameras has some soul into it which no one could explain. I still miss my Fujifilm camera and very soon will buy XT3.

@jamescraig3345 Год назад

I did get the X-t5 because I need a great second camera with a little more resolution and occasional IBIS. But no way would I give up my X-t3 - and prefer it for some work.

What a nice video! I watched loads of XT3 videos over the years always tempted to buy one but never did. It has always been too expensive for the little time I have to go out and shoot. Finally the XT3 got so cheap thanks to the XT5 release and I you gave me the final push to go and buy one secondhand. Congrats for your work! First video of yours that I watch but so different from the other Fujifilm videos that look all the same.

FWIW, I read somewhere about settings on my Fuji generation sensor, select ISO 4000 and MonoChrome. I set them one Saturday morning, and whilst my children were playing on the floor in front of me I called them and fired off a few shots. I was amazed at the results, absolutely superb.

I love my X-T3. I bought and returned the X-H2. Man, did I want to love that camera but it froze up on me multiple times, false focus confirmations and to be honest my X-T3 photos looked sharper and the colors were better than the X-H2. I hear the X-T5 is experiencing the same problems but I’m sure firmware updates will eventually solve those problems. I rebought the X-T3 after I had sold it off a couple years ago and seriously regretted it but I did get it cheaper this time around.

As long i dont feel limited by the XT3 i will keep playing with. When the time come's for a new love i will not sell the XT3 that's a classic.

@jonhoward7627 Год назад

I had the xt3 for a few years having previously moved from an xpro. In the end it was the middle placement of the viewfinder that I couldn’t get on with, so I sold it and went back. Nice camera though.

Just got my first Fuji as a way to get back in to photography after years of it being on the shelf. Didn’t seemyself lugging around a full frame and a70-200 anymore. Landed on a lightly used xt3 and spent the week waiting for it holding my breath and preparing to be disappointed somehow. I’m absolutely in love. Has totally brought me back to my favorite parts of photography, back when my AE1 went everywhere with me. Great video and the community has been great too. After the 35f2, what would you say is the next most used lens in your arsenal?

@alexdubois6585 Год назад

I love the honesty in your videos. I own an XT3. I was initially looking at the XT5 as I am not great at framing in the instant and find myself croping a lot of my shots... Also having the IBIS and the better autofocus would help my amateur photography... Looking at all these reviews I then thought about the XH2 because of the presets and because with aperture on the lens and 2 other dials for ISO and shutter speed, you are still manual... But then reviews comparing the quality of the XH2 vs XH2S... I'm now leaning toward the XH2S... Have you used the XH2S? Do you have the same fealing as with the XT5 (vs the XT3)?

@carlosdomi Год назад

Thank you, Alex! I haven't had the opportunity to try the XH2s, but for me it was more important to get more resolution than speed, which is essentially the main difference between both models. In the case of the XT3 and XT5, there are no downsides with the XT5 (well, except shutter sound): autofocus is more "intelligent", snappy and faster, has a few extra film simulations, a bigger battery, IBIS, more resolution… all packed in a very similar body. In my case, having the XH2 removes the need for all those features and the XT3 covers all my needs for a light, fun camera with fantastic image quality.

@WARM_Adventures 8 месяцев назад

Hi Carlos, I also own the XT3 and absolutely share the same sentiments. I've been into video for sometime now and the ibis is very appealing but shooting on a gimbal helps alleviate. Let's wait for the XT6 and save money. LOL

I'm thinking of buying a Fujifilm XT-3 over a Fujifilm XT-5 or a Nikon Zfc, because the XT-3 has a manual metering dial easily accessible to hand on top of the camera. With the Fujifilm XT-5 or Nikon Zfc one has to go into the menu to change the settings, I believe.

@TheUnscriptedNomad Год назад

I have been waiting for the X-T5 to come out as the X-T4 didn't suit my needs any more that the X-T3 does. But now I am undecided as to whether I actually need the X-T5 or whether I should buy a second X-T3 to replace my spare body (X-T2)
