Fujifilm X-T3 Mirrorless Digital Camera, Black with Fujinon XF16-80mmF4 R WR Optical Image Stabiliser Lens Kit (includes BC-W126S Battery Charger)

I bought the X-T3 to replace my old X-Pro1 which in turn replaced Nikon DSLR's I'd been using. I went mirrorless because I got fed up of dragging great bags of kit everywhere and the X-Pro1 really appealed. I adored the X-Pro1, although there were a couple of things about the rangefinder format that I didn't get along with, thus going for the X-T3 this time. And what an inspired change of format - I find the X-T3 absolutely delightful to shoot with. The updated EVF viewfinder is a joy (I'll come back to this), the 4k video is incredible, and the whole package is well thought out, well specified, and extremely well built. The aforementioned EVF is bright and crisp, and having a diopter adjustment built in is an absolute god send for those us with imperfect eyesight. On top of that, having the ability to zoom in while framing is such a boon to macro work. Overall the EVF is now so good I don't miss TTL viewfinders - and that was probably the one drawback I believed mirrorless systems had. Because I started with film cameras the 'manual' controls of the X-T3 feel natural and make full manual shooting a pleasure. I also remember Fuji's film range - especially Velvia, and being able to use digital versions of these in-camera is a pleasure - they're also quite accurate. There are plenty of technical reviews online for full details of the cameras functionality so I'm not even attempting to describe anything like that here, other than to say that overall the features and feel are first rate, and thus far I haven't found anything specification wise that's missing, or anything about the handling I dont like. I have the xf10-24, xf16-55, and xf18-55 lenses, all of which are optically superb. Overall a top-notch bit of kit.

What’s not to like!? It’s an awesome camera capable of taking photos far better than I am!... getting lots of practice though! Although it looks complicated it couldn’t be more simple to use. If you’re feeling lazy just set everything to auto and it takes the perfect photo! The build quality is second to non! It’s robust and beautifully finished and looks awesome. It’s got some nice features when it comes to saving photos, I’ve currently got it set to save JPEG’s on one SD and RAW on the other. My only slight gripe would be that Fujifilm haven’t yet shared the secrets to their auto focus technology so finding aftermarket lenses with autofocus is tricky/impossible. Having said that the quality of the lenses within their own range are amazing so you aren’t wanting for much... you just don’t get the benefits of cheaper aftermarket options with autofocus. I haven’t touched the film capabilities of the camera yet, but having watched lots of reviews I can’t imagine their anything less than impressive! Mine came with the lens and battery grip. I didn’t think I’d use the battery grip, but it rarely comes off and I wouldn’t be without it now! To put it simply I couldn’t be happier! I’m completely in love with the camera and couldn’t be more happy I went for it.

What an amazing piece of kit this is Now for context, I owned a Cannon 5D Mkii for a fair few years but sold it to help pay for my uni fees - was pretty heartbroken, but needs must. So now I’m back to making paper money I wanted to get another DSLR, I did a lot of research and found mirrorless was the way to go. I studied film at university and fell in love with shooting on film, the colour science and skin tones and colour mapping is just beautiful, and what I realised was how well Fuji do that. If you’re looking for a camera that shoots with the modern advances in camera tech like a mirrorless does, but still want those warm and crisp looking images I’d say go for something like this, and even though I’ve gone from a full frame to an APS, it’s just still so fantastic.

After reading a number of reviews on the Fujifilm XT3 camera I decided to upgrade my kit and include the 16-80mm F4 lens as a all round photographic kit. The camera and lens look to be well made and of solid construction. A little heavier than I expected 1kg approx. but great quality. Also after the latest firmware upgrade the XT3 is nearly as good as the XT4 camera without the IBIS and a lot cheaper. Due to the covid 19 Lockdown restrictions I have not been able to get out and take some photographs, but the few I have taken look to be of great quality. I am still working my way through all the different settings that are available, and I think it will take some time to learn how to use this camera fully. All in all this is a great camera and lens kit that I would recommend to any keen photographer.

Cool camera and all ,the menu is far from easy. Great video and photos at this price.Grip is not great also but should be improved with a battery grip. Nice retro look though.

I'm coming to Fujifilm from a full frame Canon system (that I will continue to use) and I'm very pleased and impressed with the build quality, the color rendering and the overall results I'm getting from the X-T3. The kit lens is incomparably higher quality then any other manufacturer's kit lens and it will stay in my kit because of it's versatility. If I'm being fussy, some functions are a bit fiddly like switching from photo to video and back - hope to get some shortcuts with firmware updates. Also video autofocus/tracking could use some software upgrades. - update - The autofocus was greatly improved with the latest firmware update (much appreciated)

The size and weight of this camera and lenses, make it a very practical , and useful system. I have exchanged my old gear, and love using this camera and the beautiful quality lenses. The image quality is excellent. i don't need full frame, nor high megapixel counts, when the XT3 performs so well. The battery life is not good, and the 2 second release delay will reset every time you switch off, but I can live with these niggles.

Well it seemed a nice camera for the few minutes it worked. After 5 shots I only got an error message and stuck shutter - Fuji say I had to return. Then Amazon was going to give me a label for Hermes and a 10 mile journey to drop it off! No other option for a £1,149 camera with a dodgy courier at Xmas. So I insisted on RM special delivery. I don't think I bother spending that much on a camera again, seems like the fault is not rare as well.
