Fujifilm X-T3 Shipping

The Fujifilm X-T3 will ship in late September.

Beyond the X-T3 Specs

So far the rumored Fuji X-T3 specs (full list below) looks very interesting.

But one thing are the specs on paper, another thing is how the camera performs in real life, and that’s what Fujifilm X Shooters care more than anything else.

We will discover everything about the Fujifilm X-T3 in our Live Blogging, which could come surprising, like the XF 8-16 and XF 200 announcement.

So don’t miss the Fuji XT3 live coverage by…

Fujifilm X-T3 has BSI Sensor (but not Stacked) for Improved Dynamic Range. A Good News? – POLL

Fujifilm X-T3 Sensor

A trusted source has sent us some important updates regarding the Fujifilm X-T3 sensor specifications.

  • BSI Sensor

It is 100% sure that the Fujifilm X-T3 will feature a backside-illuminated sensor (BSI).

BSI sensors improve dynamic range.

The smaller the sensor, the more BSI influences positively dynamic range (via to ephotozine and dslrbodies).

Other advantages are lower noise (via sony.com), more flexibility for lens design (especially wide angle lenses) since it improves corner tendencies such as color shift, vignetting (via wikipedia and dslrbodies) and it allows faster readout rates (via wikipedia).

  • No Stacked Sensor

Trusted sources told us, that the Fujifilm X-T3 won’t have a stacked sensor (stacked sensors allow faster sensor readout).

But what sounds like a bad news, could actually be a good one.

In fact, Sony’s current stacked sensor technology (available in Sony A9) has at least 2 trade-off

  • less dynamic range
  • much more expensive

The stacked sensor in the Sony A9 is not ISO-less (or not ISO-invariant), and according to dpreview, the Sony A9 delivers “more speed, but less dynamic rage” than any other Sony FF mirrorless camera (via dpreview A9 ISO test – dpreview A9 test).

We know the X-T3 shoots 11 fps with mechanical shutter, and I guess that 11 images in 1 second should be enough for most of us to capture “the decisive moment“. However, given the new sensor/processor combo, I think it’s safe to assume the X-T3 will have less rolling shutter than any other Fujifilm camera.

  • No Compromise in Image Quality + Huge Speed Boost

To me, it seems Fujifilm decided to go for the best image quality possible.

Hence, they might have decided to avoid any kind of technology, that potentially influences negatively image quality, such as stacked sensors and, according to Panasonic, also IBIS.

Also add to this that:

  • Fujifilm added only 2 MP to the current sensor (from 24 MP to 26MP), probably to preserve a good high ISO performance
  • X-T3 has base ISO 160 (other Fuji X-Trans cameras ISO 200)
  • X-T3 much more modern sensor

All this could add up at the end, and give us a nice improvement. But of course only real life tests will show.

But don’t worry. The combination between new sensor and new processor on the X-T3, will give you a very fast camera anyway.

Fujifilm X-T3 Autofocus Continuous: 11 fps (MS) and 30 fps in 1.25x Crop Mode (ES)

Fujifilm X-T3 Continuous Shooting

A few weeks ago, we shared here on fujirumors that the X-T3 will shoot 20 fps bursts and even faster in “crop mode”.

Now we have some more details about the continuous autofocus shooting on the X-T3 (thanks).

The Fujifilm X-T3 will shoot up to:

  • 11 fps using the mechanical shutter (MS)
  • 20 fps with electronic shutter (ES)
  • 30 fps in 1.25x crop mode with electronic shutter (ES)

As a reference, the X-T2 and X-H1 shoot 11 fps with MS and 14fps with ES. The Sony A9 shoots at 20 fps ES.

In terms of speed and features, the Fujifilm X-T3 seems to benefit a lot from the new processor and sensor. Check out the full list of specs and features below.

Fujifilm X-T3: Headphone Jack, Exposure Compensation Dial and No Selfie Screen

Fujifilm X-T3

Yesterday you guys asked me in the comments, if the Fujifilm X-T3 will have a flippy selfie screen like the Fujifilm X-T100.

Well, according to our trusted sources, there is no selfie screen on the X-T3.

And there is more:

  • there is still the exposure compensation dial
  • the Fujifilm X-T3 has a headphone jack

I am sure the headphone jack will make videographers happy (and overall the video specs, which we shared here).

I don’t know what you guys think about the exposure compensation dial, though. Are you happy with it, or would you prefer a secondary LCD monitor like on the Fujifilm X-H1 and Fujifilm GFX 50S?

Let us know by voting the poll under the updated rumored specs list.

As for the selfie screen, we already vote here.

Fujifilm X-T3 Video: 4K at 60p, 10 bit and Zebra

Fujifilm X-T3

When the Fujifilm X-H1 was launched earlier this year, Fujifilm Manager Watanabe sair here:

“We couldn’t add zebra [to the X-H1] because of hardware constraints. The processor cannot support it. It requires too much processing power.”

Well, I am please to inform you, that thanks to the more powerful processor in the Fujifilm X-T3, the Fuji X-T3 will now have the Zebra feature.

And overall the video specs are improved, since according to our trusted sources, the Fujifilm X-T3 will be capable of:

  • 4k at 60p
  • 10 bit (I am verifying if also internal)
  • zebra (real time highlight clipping warning during video)
  • FYI: Read also – And Now Panasonic Explains What’s Not so Good with IBIS

Fujifilm X-T3 has No New Film Simulation (for Now)

Fujifilm X-T3

Back in mid-July, I shared a rumor by a new source, that the Fujifilm X-T3 will have a new film simulation.

I told you that it was not confirmed by trusted sources, so you should take it with a gran of salt.

Well, now trusted sources told me, that there is no new film simulation on the Fujifilm X-T3 [ETERNA will obviously be included, but that’s an “old” film simulation, introduced with X-H1].

In the past we have seen Fujifilm cameras getting new film simulations via firmware updates, so maybe at some point in the future also the X-T3 will get a new one (the new processor certainly allows it). But for now, it hear there is none.

Make sure to follow FR on Facebook, RSS-feed, Instagram, Youtube and Twitter for the latest updates.

have a fantastic day :)

P.S.: To all those copycat sites, who copy and paste the rumored X-T3 specs list from FujiRumors (without giving credits to FR), please edit the list, because you copied also our wrong rumors ;). But it’s nice to know that you trust me blindly ?

BREAKING: Fujifilm X-T3 Will Cost Less than Fujifilm X-T2 (less than $1,599) – TRUSTED SOURCE

Fujifilm X-T3 – The Affordable Flagship

Busy news days! Here a few of the articles published in the last 36 hours on FR:

  • Read here – R&D Investment for Fujifilm X-T3, GFX 50R and GFX 100S Stops Operating Income Grow
  • Read here – Nikon FF Mirrorless Vs. Fujifilm GFX 50S Size Comparison
  • Read here – Fujinon XF 33mmF1.0: Why We Should Buy it and How YOU Helped Fujifilm Japan

  • Read here – Shoten/Techart Canon EF to Fuji GFX AF Firmware Update Released
  • Read here – Fuji Guys Fujifilm XF10 Top Features
  • Read here – Lensbaby Sol 45 f/3.5 Tilt-Shift Lens for Fujifilm X Cameras

A powerful new sensor, a fast processor, 20fps bursts, packed with many new features, the best Fujifilm X series camera ever made… and yet, the Fujifilm X-T3 won’t be that pricy as one could imagine.

In fact, I have been told by a trusted source (thanks), that the Fujifilm X-T3 will cost less than the Fujifilm X-T2 at it’s current official price tag (without rebates), hence less than $1,599.

$1,499? $1,399? Or even less, maybe $1,299 like the X-T1 launch price? Now that thing starts to be affordable also for my savings account :).

But one thing is sure: competition is a good thing for us customers, since I doubt Fujifilm would have sold the Fujifilm X-T3 for a lower price than X-T2, if the Full Frame Sony A7III would not have hit the market with a $2,000 price tag.

And if the rumor of the X-T3 stacked sensor is true, then the Fujifilm X-T3 is basically a Sony A9 for about 1/3 of the price.
