The Fujifilm X-T3 Is The Best Stills/Video Camera On The Market, says DPReview

Fujifilm X-T3

Fujifilm X-T3 at a glance:

  • 26.1MP APS-C X-Trans BSI CMOS 4 Sensor
  • X-Processor 4 with Quad CPU
  • UHD 4K60 Video; F-Log Gamma & 10-Bit Out
  • 2.16m-Point Phase-Detection Autofocus
  • 0.75x 3.69m-Dot OLED Viewfinder
  • 3.0″ 1.04m-Dot Tilting LCD Touchscreen
  • Extended ISO 80-51200, 30 fps Shooting
  • Bluetooth and Wi-Fi; Sports Finder Mode
  • Weather-Sealed Magnesium-Alloy Body

Here at Canon Watch we like Fujifilm cameras a lot, and the [shoplink 52992]Fujifilm X-T3[/shoplink] seems to be exactly what we were expecting. A great camera.

Photographic authority DPReview reviewed the Fujifilm X-T3, and they seem to be very fond of it.

From the conclusion:

The Fujifilm X-T3 is arguably the best stills/video camera on the market right now. More expensive full frame cameras will offer better still image quality and cameras with in-body image stabilization will be easier to shoot video with, but nothing offers this balance of image quality and movie capability in a single package.

Even better, the X-T3 does both things in a way that makes them enjoyable. The X-T series has already established a fan-base of photographers with its traditional, dedicated-dial interface but, while this can also be used for video, we’d recommend using the (still fiddly) Movie Silent Control mode if you’re switching back and forth, since it allows separate exposure settings for each style of shooting.

With the X-T3, you get excellent JPEGs with some of the industry’s most attractive color options, access to an extensive selection of dedicated lenses, only now with improved autofocus and class-leading video. Crucially, none of the video features get in the way of its excellence as a stills camera. Read the review here…

Fujifilm really did a lot if not everything right with their mirrorless cameras, starting with the lens ecosystem. While we prefer Canon’s color science we agree that Fujifilm’s color science is very good.

The Fujifilm X-T3 is just a really great mirrorless camera, and before wasting your money on excessively expensive full frame mirrorless systems we’d recommend you have a look to see if the Fujifilm X-T3 fulfils your needs. Most likely it does.

Both ShutterCount 3.4 and Kuuvik Capture 4.1 now support the new Canon EOS R.

Kuuvik Capture is a powerful tethering software and can be purchased in the Mac App Store.

ShutterCount allows you to get accurate statistics about how often the shutter has been released on your camera. Useful in many occasions, especially when you’re buying a second hand camera and want to know how often the shutter has been released. ShutterCount is available in Mac App Store. For cameras with WiFi there is an iOS version too.

Canon EOS R and Nikon Z7 Can Not Beat Sony a7 III When It Comes To Pure Dynamic Range Sensor Figures

View Post

At Photons To Photo you can compare sensor figures of various camera.

As you can see in the image above, the Sony a7 III is still the champion of pure sensor performance, beating the Canon EOS R and Nikon Z7 on dynamic range measures.. Which is a pity especially for Nikon, since they are using a sensor made by Sony.

Canon, designing and manufacturing their own sensors. gets closer to Sony’s sensor performance as ISO gets higher (but around ISO 32000 Sony gets the edge again).

Sensor performance figures do not tell the whole story, and the differences shown in the graph above are really minimal. When it comes to ergonomics, lens ecosystem, reliability, customer support, weather sealing, and whatever counts beyond sensor performance, Canon is still the the alpha dog in the pack.
