to be reviewing the Fujifilm XT3.

I have been a Fujifilm user for a pretty long time first their films and then

their middle s cameras like the XE one and the X hundred series because Fuji

film were one of the first companies to get into the middle s game slowly the

traction caught on and Sony and Panasonic made up for the lost miles at

least here in India but now Fuji film is back with a bang

the Fuji films rugged magnesium alloy body makes it very very solid to feel

and hold it has got dials on top for the ISO exposure compensation and shutter

speed it is also sealed against dust and moisture which makes you very very

confident while using it almost all the dials and the buttons at

the back of the camera are user customizable making using this camera

truly a joy and it also has two UHS two slots this camera has a 26 megapixel

x-trans CMOS sensor but thanks to the X processor 4 you can hardly feel any lag

while taking pictures

what made Fuji great in the days of analog photography was their color and

it did some phenomenal work with fellow in fact it was impossible to think of

film photography without thinking of Fuji film and when they came out with

their Middle East cameras they were able to replicate the same color using the

color profiles in their mirrorless cameras the Fuji film xt3

has a total of 16 film simulation modes including my personal favourites which

are classic chrome and a cross

in fact I will go as far as to say that the Fujifilm xt3 is one of those cameras

that make everything look good and I really don't feel like touching the

JPEGs at all the images coming out of the Fujifilm XD 3 are extremely sharp

thanks to the superb optics of the fujinon lenses

this is one camera where even the kiplyn's shines the Fujifilm xt3 has an

ISO range of 160 to twelve thousand eight hundred and in the etch mode while

taking photographs you can go as high as fifty one thousand two hundred as far as

noise is concerned while we were shooting with it we did not see any

noise up to 4000 iso in fact the color noise at iso 4000

the Fuji xt3 has 425 hybrid autofocus points which cover almost the entire

frame it also has face detect and I detect which work pretty well and in

fact it is the only camera which allows you to choose whether you want to focus

on the right eye or the left eye which makes it pretty unique in my opinion in

fact the face and I detect also worked under streetlights which was personally

quite surprising to me

when you're taking pictures with the Fujifilm xt3

you can control the autofocus speed by using the various AFC custom settings

built into the camera the setting changes tracking sensitivity speed

tracking sensitivity and zone area switching depending upon

the subject that you are shooting also in video mode you can control the

tracking sensitivity and the AF speed as well

if you are focusing manually the Fujifilm xt3

has a digital micro prism as well as a digital split image apart from the

standard mode to help you nail focus as far as the burst mode is concerned the

Fujifilm extra 3 gives you a frame rate of 11 frames per second by using the

mechanical shutter

and gives you a speed of 30 frames a second if you are using the electronic

shutter

the 30 frames-per-second comes with a price though and that is a one point two

five times crop

this camera is capable of shooting 10-bit 4k up to 60 frames per second in

four to zero internally using the HEV see codec

and if that was not enough you can shoot 10-bit for 2 to 4 K up to 60 frames per

second using a compatible external recorder this is just crazy I know I've

said this before but the Fujifilm colours are absolutely fantastic this is

evident not only by taking photographs but shooting video as well while they

have especially made Eterna films simulation for getting the film look

while shooting video it is the classic chrome that is my personal favorite and

which I feel that does not require any calibrating at all

while there were quite a few cameras on the market that do a great job with

autofocus why taking photographs while shooting video not so much and this is

where the Fuji film xt3 really shines the autofocus on the fuji

film xt3 while shooting video is truly phenomenal for want of a better word the

IATA focus the face detect the shift focus is so fast and accurate that it

will take your breath away you don't believe me take a look

you

you can also shoot slow motion at hundred and twenty frames at full HD in

ten bit

you can mount the fujinon cine lenses onto this camera for some really serious

video work and if all this was not enough you can shoot F log at a base ISO

of 640

as far as connectivity is concerned there is an app for that

using the Fujifilm camera mode you can connect the camera directly to your

smartphone to be able to control it as well as transfer photographs directly to

be shared online

so while we have absolutely loved using this camera so far there are few things

that I don't like about it the first being a simple design in flow so taking

the mode dial here for example at one end you have the video mode and at the

other end you have your panorama mode then you have your advanced filter mode

then you have a multiple exposure and then you have your single Drive mode for

photography now considering that most of the people would be using either

shooting the movie mode or photography mode either these modes should have been

next to each other or they should have been at the extreme ends so if you're

shooting you go to movie mode and you go to photography mode or maybe they could

have been right next to each other rather than movie mode being on one end

and the photography mode being the fourth last option from the other end

secondly the battery life could really be improved I know that this camera has

got a new processor which is faster and the kind of data that it is processing

is really a lot but then one can definitely hope and wish thirdly I

really feel that this camera would have truly been complete had the screen

flipped out totally to face me while I'm shooting that is a complete flip out

screen but that is not the case it flips out it tilts it flips in this strange

funny manner but it does not flip out completely to face the shooter as if you

were taking a selfie last but not least the lack of inbuilt image stabilization

that is one thing that I really missed in this camera wise shooting handheld

even with these semi upsets the Fujifilm xt3

is a truly spectacular camera not just for the price it comes at not just for

the features that it offers but also for the colors and for the fact that it

truly truly inspires you to shoot more pictures and that quality very few

cameras have for more videos on photography and filmmaking do subscribe
