Fujifilm X-T4 Dynamic Range Data (vs X-T3, X-Pro3)

Photons to Photos has published its Fujifilm X-T4 dynamic range measurement data.

The Fujifilm X-T4 basically performs identical to the X-T3. The Fujifilm X-Pro3 seems to be superior, but as Blill Claff from PTP explained to us:

The X-Pro3 appears to have improved PDR but it is an illusion.

It’s well known that Fuji implements the ISO setting in an unusual way.
In this case they have given ISO 320 to ISO 12800 an addition 1 stop boost.

Fuji uses a proprietary Exif tag called “Raw Exposure Bias” to indicate how much they have shifted the raw data from “standard”.

Adjusted in Excel for Raw Exposure Bias we see that the X-Pro3 and X-T3 are essentially identical. (They shift to dual conversion gain at a slightly different point).

Fujinon GF35-70mmF4.5-5.6 and Fujifilm X-T3WW in Stock Now

The Fujinon GF35-70mmF4.5-5.6 as well as the Fujifilm X-T3 (WW) are now in stock pretty much everywhere.

The Fujinon GF35-70mmF4.5-5.6 has received great reviews so far and it is the most affordable lens in the G mount lineup along with this lens. It’s also the most compact and light G mount zoom lens with less then half the weight of my Fujinon GF32-64mmF4.

The Fujifilm X-T3 WW (WorldWide) is an X-T3 without charger. By removing the charger and simplifying the shipping progress into different countries, Fujifilm is able to save some money. Savings, that Fujifilm passes to us customers by making it a terrific deal to buy.

Fujifilm X-T3 (Silver) Marked as Discontinued: Let me Explain What’s Going on!

There is a bit of confusion regarding the Fujifilm X-T3, as the silver X-T3 is marked as discontinued at BHphoto.

So let’s say two things first:

Now, many would have expected the Fujifilm X-T3 to be quickly discontinued after the launch of the Fujifilm X-T4, but so it wasn’t. The X-T3 remained a pretty successful camera for Fujifilm also after the launch of the X-T4.

What Fujifilm did, though, was to rationalize production a bit. So they reserved most of the bundle options for the X-T4 and few only for the X-T3 (as we reported here).

Also, recently, in order to simplify sales, Fujifilm removed the battery charger from the box and called it the X-T3 WW (where “WW” stands for worldwide). Different market would require different plugs, some markets even banned chargers due to environmental issues.

This move saves Fujifilm time and money and the savings tumbled down to us customers making it even more affordable than the “normal” X-T3 when discounted.

And in fact, just as of now, you can pre-order the Fujifilm X-T3 WW, which will start shipping on January 13.

But here is the thing:

In order to rationalize and simplify as much as possible (and hence make the X-T3 as affordable as possible), Fujifilm offers the X-T3 WW only in black (you can’t pre-order it in silver as it doesn’t exist).

Conclusion: the Fujifilm X-T3 is not discontinued. In fact you can pre-order it right now and get it shipped in a few days. Only the silver X-T3 seems to be no longer in production, not even in its X-T3 WW variation. But the black X-T3 is here to stay for still quite a while, don’t worry.

But you can still find some silver X-T3 samples around, for example AmazonUS has a few left here and Adorama is seeling some bundled with a lens.

Fujifilm GFX50R and Silver X-T30 Now Discontinued at B&H

The heavily discounted Fujifilm GFX50R as well as the silver X-T30 are now marked as discontinued at BHphoto.

If you want to grab the last samples for a crazy price, you can still find some GFX50R cameras at Adorama here and Moment here.

The X-T30 is still available in black and my personal favorite, the charcoal silver version, at BHphoto.
