Fujifilm X-T3 Kit 18-55

Advantages: I will list the advantages, for me personally: 1. Compactness 2. Image quality, in no way inferior to the quality of full-frame DSLRs and mirrorless cameras. 3. A huge park of original optics. Moreover, Fujifilm has all the high quality optics, from budget to premium. 4. Colors and camera jpeg. This has always been a Fujifilm chip and the X-T3 is no exception. 5. The X-T3 has a very serious work with video. Now this camera can be fully used by videographers, not just photographers.

Disadvantages: Since the camera is positioned as a photo-video harvester, it would be convenient to enable video recording with a separate button, and not switch the shooting mode with a twist like now.

Comment: Recently, negative, clearly ordered reviews began to appear. I want to warn future buyers - do not get fooled by outright lies. Get information from several sources, youtube, specialized forums. And the quality of photos is better to look again on specialized resources, for example flickr, 500px

Advantages: Fuji is great for making T3 in the same building as T2! We finished off the existing shortcomings of the previous model, but retained the ergonomics so as not to retrain and you can work in tandem with T2 (I own both cameras) The first shooting did not notice much difference until I began to use eye focusing. My 56mm lens has become super sharp with this camera, when focusing on the eyes, focus is always where it is needed, you can safely shoot at open aperture! I thought I would need special high-speed memory cards, but the camera works well with 95m / s cards

Disadvantages: On the new model with the new sensor, the quality could be improved at high ISO, although this is enough for most scenes. 3200 can be safely used. Our favorite and familiar lightroom spoils the picture very much, we need to retrain on C1 Tracking modes are very voracious, the battery eats up very quickly, if you do not use focusing on the eyes, the camera works longer than T2 On wedding photography, one battery lasts for 2 - 3 hours shooting and about a thousand photographs. With the onset of summer, I felt how uncomfortable it was to work when the battery grip was warming up. Pay for small dimensions and weight, this was not on the kenon. The hand is sweating, very unpleasant! Ravs began to weigh much more, I had to buy 128GB memory cards, but not the fastest ones) Sometimes, during hard reporting, software dulls occur, the picture in the video finder freezes for a fraction of a second, which is very annoying, perhaps you need high-speed cards for more stable operation.

Comment: After T3 I no longer want to shoot on T2, the difference in operating speed is very noticeable. Even the difference in megapixels is felt when making up albums, the detail is such that you can safely sprinkle it. For some reason, the T3 camera produces a sharper picture in comparison with the T2, although the in-camera settings are the same. The camera is charged from a power bank or regular telephone USB charging, type-c connector Be sure to buy an additional grip, a very convenient thing, the camera does not become much larger and not particularly heavy, but it is much more convenient to hold and shoot! If you have any questions, write!

Advantages: 1. Compact and beautiful camera with pleasant tactile ergonomics 2. The 18-55 lens is an ideal versatile lens 3. Strong video. The camera can shoot cinematic quality up to 4.2.2 10bit and ALL-intra. Watch videos on YouTube, for example, "A different beyond", "A Memento of Life", shot on X-T3 4. Colors straight from the camera, my favorite film imitations: provia, velvia and classic chrome 5. Pictures can be thrown directly to smartphone via wi-fi and instagram. My account therefore looks professional - the pictures are from a real camera 6. For stock photography it suits me perfectly, often I just upload jpeg, because the color is good, and you can adjust the lights / shadows directly for jpeg, i.e. make controlled HDR and toned with different types of films. Also, the camera is perfect for stock video, I want to start taking a tripod with me and at least just duplicate what I photograph with short videos. If you shoot 4K, you can pan and zoom in post-processing, because there is a margin for resolution.That is, immediately make 4 options out of one video 7. Autofocus and the menu in the camera work very quickly, the focus is conveniently adjusted the size of the autofocus point

Disadvantages: If you find fault, of course you want a more powerful battery. And I'm really looking forward to the 16-80mm lens, I want it longer than the 18-55

Comment: I am attaching some pictures from the trip. Straight from the camera: evening - Velvia film color (saturated) and one, where cathedral - Provia color (standard).

Advantages: Without a doubt: one of the most beautiful cameras Ergonomics and customization options Image quality. The best I've ever seen on APSC sensors Corrrrrrt!

Disadvantages: The battery is too small for such a beast machine. Take a spare right away, and preferably two. With such video capabilities - I want a stabilized sensor

Comment: Buying an xt-3 was like buying a new computer: everything works a little faster and a little more convenient. Fuji colors are traditionally better than most competitors. Ergonomics too. What really amazed were the video capabilities. The camera offers significantly more than I might need today. Shooting video with the xt-3 is easy and enjoyable. The only thing to consider: the sensor is not stabilized, so optics with stabilization are needed, or even better - a good gimble.

Advantages: I shoot a video, so the review is not for photographers Pros 1. cool picture 2. autofocus 3. 4k50fps 4. cheap 5. small 6. battery holds about an hour of shooting, good result 7. Decent whale lens with stabilizer

Disadvantages: 1. rotary screen dubious pribluda from marketers 2. Does not synchronize with the june completely change all parameters manually 3. inconvenient button for viewing material and deleting, they are spaced in different directions better when they are together, it is inconvenient to remove material 4. In the video finder mode, if you cannot see the video the REC indicator is visible, in the same way, if you use the rotary screens and shoot from below, the REC button is covered with a rubber eyecup

Comment: There is no alternative in terms of price / quality, canon only 1dx shoots better, Sony the price tag for carcasses and lenses is not adequate

Advantages: Fotik is super. in this price category out of competition. Very clearly pedods all the smallest details, even on a whale lens and even in terrible light. Great video. Stabilization built into the kit. Really good thing. Convenient control. a bunch of basic twists right on the body. super. You just need to figure it out White balance. Pts well catches and almost never lies. These are miracles. Before that, all my fotiki were lying much more (in the price category up to 100K) Built-in filters 2 SD memory cards High-quality video.

Disadvantages: Not very big battery. But this is if you find fault. I took 2 pieces

Comment: I tried a bunch of fotik in this price segment (up to 100K). I have not found any analogues. Anything similar is more expensive. This is especially true for shooting video and autofocus on video

Advantages: The picture is detailed, the jeep is beautiful, the noise is minimal up to ISO 3200, the colors are still good up to ISO 6400, the camera settings satisfy the most demanding professionals, but ...

Disadvantages: - A new, swinging battery holds 30 minutes of work with the screen in booster mode, in the usual 45 minutes. - It is not always possible to adjust the front and rear control wheels quickly - A new matrix with a huge number of incorrectly working pixels - up to 30 pieces fall into the magnification field. bad pixels, if they are multiplied by the area of ​​the entire frame, then the total number of bad pixels of the matrix will exceed 1000 pcs. - see the photo.The pixels flicker, but remain hanging in the same places. - The camera menu has incorrect abbreviations in Russian - Made in China, the build quality is average ..... The LCD screen is not glued with a seal around the perimeter, there is no protection from atmospheric precipitation - Autofocus for the speed of work at the level of mirrorless cameras of the last decade - Lack of adequate specialists in technical support FUJI. In the event of a malfunction, the camera must be sent only to the FUJI ASC in Moscow. In the Fuji service, no one can say anything - they do not know or do not want to know) - The standard 18-55 is made in the Philippines - the quality of the lenses is average, spots, dust inside. - Inadequately high cost of cameras and accessories to them, probably made of gold !!!

Comment: The devil pulled me probably to buy it ... for twenty years Nikon and Canon shot on a mirror. On YouTube, almost all of them beautifully advertise the new Fuji XT-3, but after the purchase, it became clear that all these topoots were well paid for - and there is little truth there. Fairy tales are told, nonsense is whipped, and the people believe! The XT-2 was better in assembly, not China, because of the failures, sometimes the percentage and the shutter button flew out, the train failed. The control wheels were very light - they were blown away by the wind. In the XT-3, the wheels can no longer be rotated, the skin will come off the fingers. The springs are weak and the wheel fails, the button in the wheel is triggered! That is, you cannot quickly get into the parameter, you will slip by. I have ISO / SS on small wheels, so that my eye does not quickly come off the VI and does not fumble with my fingers on the upper control wheels. AF speed - slow, up to 1.4 sec. thinks with a lens 18-55, especially the brake in continuous focus mode! AF is better at dusk than XT-2. The camera shoots video well - it heats up but does not turn off, unlike the XT-2. Settings - for every taste and color. China does not even wash the matrix at the factory, they save on mops, because after unpacking the sealed camera, I looked at the matrix through a magnifying glass - forgive me, I did not collect so much dust in a year of work at Nikon! The matrix with a new copper substrate is produced by Sony, on the matrix you can count five thousand malfunctioning - noisy pixels. White and black dots are randomly scattered throughout the frame, visible on a white sheet of paper in full automatic mode through the viewfinder and the screen using the rear wheel zoom function (checking the focus area). On the finished frame, they are not easy to notice, but when you zoom in, they are enough, you should scroll the frame with the joystick. This is a marriage of matrix technology - since this effect is not visible on every camera, it occurs through one or two cameras. But it infuriates many. Since not all XT-3s ... In general, such matrices are subject to replacement under warranty.
