Would a Fujifilm X-E3 without Tilt Screen be a Dealbreaker for You? – POLL

Share

Fujifilm X-E3 Vs. Rest of the X-World

NOTE: This is NOT a rumor that says the X-E3 has no tilt screen

In my love letter to the X-E3 back in June 2016, I launched several polls, to see which camera X-shooters would prefer to buy: X-E3, X-Pro2, X-T20 and X-T2.

Well, the X-E3 is the clear winner.

Coincidence or not, a few months later, Fujifilm officially said that “we are aware of the many requests for Fujifilm X-E3“.

The rumors? In December 2016 I’ve shared that the X-E3 is back on Fuji’s To-Do list and just recently a new source told us that the X-E3 could come this fall.

Now believe me, I’m a guy that has its feet well set on the ground, but I can’t stop thinking that Fujifilm was motivated to revive plans for the X-E3 after they saw the overwhelming positive response it got here on FujiRumors. And it wouldn’t be the first time, you guys influenced Fujifilm decisions.

They read you guys… your opinions even make it into official Fujifilm meetings with the press ;)

The Problem with the X-E3 Poll

But there was something in the X-E3 Vs. Rest of the X-world polls we should consider: I told you to imagine an X-E3 with tilt screen, and then vote on it.

But what if the X-E3 had no tilt screen? Would you still prefer it over the X-T2, X-T20 and X-Pro2?

To answer this question I will launch the same poll again, and see how good (or not) a “tilt-screen-less” Fujifilm X-E3 performs in the survey compared to an X-E3 with tilt screen.

happy voting :)

Jared Polin Fujifilm X-T2 Real World Review

Share

Jared Polin (more of a DSLR guy) used the Fujifilm X-T2 for the first time, and he took the Fujifilm X-T2 out for a real shoot. In his 48 minutes long video (which for a large part shows Jared at work, with no commentary on the X-T2) he says amongst the others:

  • he’s not used to the old school controls – aperture, shutter and ISO on dials – so he must get used to it
  • he loves the EVF. It makes shooting so much easier
  • he misses the touch screen
  • the X-T2 shoots super fast and the focus is pretty lightning quick, also in continous. DSLR still better in continous, though.
  • he likes that when he’s shooting at 8 or 11 fps, quick bursts, it’s great, because there is no mirror black out, because there is no mirror in the camera, so he never loses sight of what he’s shooting

Starting from 31:14 Frono checks the files on the computer and adds more considerations to the camera

  • better to use with grip for better handling
  • he doesn’t like the menu system and you need to get used to it
  • batteries are pretty good, and don’t drain as fast as in Sony cameras
  • you have to get used a bit to the focus modes
  • great lens options
