Fujifilm X-T3: Steve Huff Loves It, Robert Hall Not So Much, X-T2 vs X-T3 Face/Eye AF Comparison and More

Hugh Brownstone – Fuji X-T3 Autofocus and James Bond: Focus Pulls and Eye AF WORK!

Fujifilm X-T3

The Fujifilm X-T3 is definitely a huge step up in terms of speed. Hence, one of the most tested aspects of this camera is its autofocus and eye AF performance.

In fact, even long time Fujfiilm critic Steve Huff now finally fell in love with Fujifilm thanks to the Fujifilm X-T3 (video below).

But not everybody has just postive things to say.

Robert Hall has a rather critical view on the Fujifilm X-T3. Actually on the entire Fujifilm system. He is annoyed that the Fujifilm X-T3 came out short after the Fujifilm X-H1, with all superior specs. But he is also annoyed that it has no IBIS. And he doesn’t like the fact that Fuji’s wide F1.4 and F1.2 lenses are not fast focussing like their slower Fujicron F2 lenses.

Neale James instead is about to switch from Canon to Fujifilm X-T3, and shows you how painful it can be to wait for the UPS guy to deliver your X-T3 ;).

It’s all down below… enjoy it guys :)

Fujifilm X-T3 Roundup

If the Canon EOS R and Nikon Z series earned quite some flack on the internet, quite the opposite is true for the Fujifilm X-T3, and even guys, who used to cirtique Fujifilm quite hard and never recommended to buy Fujifilm like Gerald (link below), now say that with the X-T3 changed everything. He has one for testing, and is evidently blown away.

This camera has one equation that simply fits: it’s great value for money! So let’s check out the next bunch of X-T3 first looks.

We already shared a dedicated X-T3 eye/face detection article earlier today. Now let’s see what else we can learn about the Fujifilm X-T3.

X-T3 Review (Pixel Peeping Vs. X-T2 included)

Bjorn as published a 2 part review of the Fujifilm X-T3 (part 1part 2). The review also includes a high ISO comparison between the X-T2 and X-T3. JPEG only, since nobody supports the RAW files yet. So we are definitely far from being able to take any conclusions, but it’s interesting to see anyway.

Bjorn writes:

I must admit that I was expecting a larger difference between the two cameras when it comes to high ISO performance, especially since it is using the new Backside illuminated sensor (BSI). Realistically, there is about a one stop advantage for the X-T3 compared to the X-T2. I have no problem shooting at ISO 6400 and will bump it up to 12800 if needed. Compared to the X-T1 the difference is more pronounced and is closer to two stops better low light performance. For a cropped sensor camera, this is well within the ballpark.”

Fujifilm X-T100 Body Only Listed between $550 and $600 at Adorama

Fujifilm X-T100

The Fujifilm X-T100 will be announced in a few hours, and Adorama has already prepared its system to take pre-orders.

They didn’t upload the images or the full specs, but they have the various option listed and selectable (colors, body only or kit lens etc).

In fact, if you search for “Fujifilm X-T100” you get a total 7 results.

If you then select the price range between $500 – $750, you get 4 results.

  • Body Only listed between $550 to $600 (1 result)
  • Body + XC15-45 listed between $650 to $700 (3 results)

If these prices are confirmed, then I think the X-T100 is very well priced.

Consider that the X-T20 body only costs $899 (currently discounted to $799), while the Fujiflm X-A5 with XC 15-45 costs $600.

FujiRumors will be ready for a LIVE BLOGGING so make sure to follow us on Facebook, RSS-feed and Twitter.

Fujifilm X-A5 in Stock and X-A5 as well as X-A20 Owner’s Manual Available

Fujifilm X-A5 in Stock

The Fujifilm X-A5 is now in stock at several stores.

Some stores have all 3 colors in stock (pink, black, brown), others only a few. Check out the X-A5 at BHphoto, Adorama, AmazonUS and FocusCamera for the updated stock list.

While the Fujifilm X-A20 is just as exciting as the car hood of a Ford Escort, the X-A5 instead is a quite interesting little camera, especially given that it now features phase detection pixels on the 24MP Bayer sensor.

And most of all, the Fujinon XC15-45 muffin zoom is tempting me quite a bit, because especially in combination with my small Fujifilm X-E3, it could become a great solution for travels.

Owner’s Manual

Fujifilm just released the Owner’s Manual for the Fujifilm X-A5 and Fujifilm X-A20. Thanks to the FR-reader for the links :)

New Images of Fujinon XC 15-45 and Fujifilm X-A20 Leaked – UPDATE: New X-A5 Images

More images of the Fujinon XC 15-45 and X-A20 leaked at nokishita.

Down below again the main specs of XC 15-45, X-A5 and X-A20 as well as more images

The size of the X-A10 is identical to the one of the X-A20, so we can make a nice comparison between the XC16-50 and XC15-45. But it’s no surprise, because here on FR we already showed you weeks ago here the exact size of the lens, and the latest leak just confirms it ;)

The Fujinon XC15-45mm f/3.5-5.6 PZ OIS will be bigger than Sony’s Power Zoom solution, the Sony 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6, but I guess that Fujifilm tried to find the sweet spot between compact size and image quality.

Not a pancake zoom…. more of a muffin zoom ;)

And remember that Fujifilm outsourced the development of the X-A line, because they needed R&D money for the Fujifilm GFX. We reported about it here.
