Yes, the X-T3 is so good I wish I could keep it forever.
Do camera reviews even matter?
So in 2017 I decided to change that, and set out to buy my very first camera.
But even after all that research, I still didnt feel comfortable settling on a final choice.
In the same piece, Malik showed an example of a review that did precisely that.
(like note that X-photographers are pretty much unpaid Fujifilm brand ambassadors.
So take that as you will.)
Theres no way around that.
After reading Mullinss review, I ultimately went for theX100F.
This brings me to my review of the X-T3.
Im more of a non-photographer who occasionally takes candid photos in the streets.
Body and design
Let me start off with this: the X-T3 is a conversation starter.
Fujifilm cameras are often inspired by the classic analog look, and the X-T3 is no different.
The X-T3 has a distinct 80s feel, reminiscent of Fujifilms Fujica series.
Not only is the X-T3s design absolutely gorgeous, but quite functional too.
The camera sports three separate analog controls for ISO, shutter speed, and exposure compensation.
There are two additional front and rear command dials, which can be customized to your needs.
I personally disabled the arrow shortcuts, as I found myself accidentally clicking on them a bit too often.
Still, its good to have options.
Among other things, ridiculously fast autofocus (AF) performance.
The new sensor-processor combination seems to have also brought improvements in camera IQ.
In all fairness though, the XF35mmF2 R WR is among the fastest lenses in Fujifilms lineup.
While its not exactly pocketable, the X-T3 is still lightweight enough to carry around everywhere.
For context, Fujifilm claims about 390 shots on a single charge in its marketing materials.
My only hitch with the X-T3 is that it did freeze on a few rare occasions.
The good thing is that I havent encountered this issue after the latest firmware update.
So should I buy it?
As far as my romance with theX-T3goes, Im afraid I wont be copping it for the time being.
Tell him everything you despise about his work onTwitter.
