Is the fujifilm XT-3 worth it in 2023?

Note: you don’t necessarily need high MP for billboards, usually they actually print at a lower quality because of how far they’re being viewed from

Thanks for the review man, I have been thinking if xt3 is still a good buy, your simplification made it more clearer

I work for the news agency. Even today, we upload our photographs in roughly 10, 5 MP. With that being said, ALL Fujifilm cameras have overkill in number of megapixels. Enough said...
And BTW, if you are shooting photography in deep lowlight and want to keep your ISO at minimum, or if you are using vintage telephoto lenses without OIS, than IBIS comes really, really handy...

Could never agree more … I bought a h2s for a shooting, great camera, but right after the shooting I sent it back and kept both my RUSTY TRUSTY KICKASS XT3 … hard to beat for the money… I’d rather invest into a big light … in facts a nice Aputure 600D pro is on the way

I have to like and subscribe cuz I am also a XT3 shooter

In our business we have a XT-5 and XT-3s (and older cameras) we skipped the X-T4 as Tripods work when using a slow shutter, and gimbals work for video.
One thing that I am impressed by the X-T5 with is the Eye autofocus, on the X-T3 it was pretty good, but on X-T5 it nails the focus 100% of the time.
We have a specific use case where we have a popup studio and instantly print to 8" x 6" so having the 4x3 crop in camera is a time saver.

The X-T3s will still be used as main cameras for awhile to come

I had X T4 and hated the floppy screen. Going back to X T3 soon.

The X-T3 is still a phenomenal camera in 2023. The image quality is fantastic. And it's still quite fast.

I wish it had IBIS so I wouldn't need to rig or use a monopod when trying to get family video. And I wish Fuji would put some more computational features in their cameras: Live cropping in video, time lapse right inside the camera etc. But, those aren't deal breakers and I definitely have a lot more to learn before moving cameras or systems.

Liking your honest realistic approach, just picked up my first mirror less camera - X-T4 second hand and could not be happier.
Subbed because we all want to get to 1000

Good IBIS is magical but not necessary. Just like a global shutter is magical but not necessary

[illectricsheep]

Lovely honest review. I am gonna be buying an XT-3 this week. I can't wait. Thanks!

[Denis_SLDE]

I agree with everything you said!)
fujifilm XT-3 the best Life camera

[shy-guy]

As a stills photographer, I am generally very happy with my XT3 and don’t plan to upgrade unless the next model, which will probably only be released in 2025, will be a massive improvement in the XT5.

[kevinmoore]

I love my x-t3 and not going to upgrade anytime soon, great video by the way.

[karinjohnstone]

Thanks Gertjan. You have answered my dilemma. I’m off to buy an XT3. So would like more videos about how to shoot both videos and still. Plus would like to see more of where you live. The surfing footage was great. Thanks Karin

I have an XS10, and I was considering the XT4 but went for the XT3 and honesty I’m in love. I thought I needed IBIS but trying IBIS out for hand held video was really a nope; and the fact that cinema cameras don’t have ibis, it really makes sense. Can the XT3 be used for cinematography? Absolutely 💯

[noxtrom]

After the test of XT-4. Found that, for my use case, the microjitters made me turn ibis off on gimbal. Then no use for ibis, so I kept the XT-3. The only downsize is that if can't have variable apperture because of stepping exposure. However using variable iso is option. Or use manual lenses such as my Sirui 50mm or 7artisan. For photography works well with Fuji lenses. Still have my XT-3 as part of my gear.

[thefancytacos]

I thought the Xt-3 had 26mp not 23mp? As the Xt3 is using the same X-Trans IV sensor as the Xt4.

[cameraman]

Frankly, my XT-3 is kicking my XT-5’s ass in AF (C) hit rate...very sad.📷😏.The XT-3 is definitely a keeper, the ‘5’, very disappointing.

[M.Redsky]

X-T3 has 26MP. You erroneously state in the video that it has 23MP.
