Fujifilm X-T3 vs X-T2 JPEG comparison

ThePixedCatcher wonders: is there a visible difference between the Fujifilm X-T3 and X-T2 in terms of sharpness and dynamic range? He imported the JPEG images into Capture One and says (using XF23mmF1.4):

UPDATE: Follow up video here.

• DR100 @ ISO200: no difference in sharpness
• DR400 @ ISO800: noise similar. Details a little bit better on X-T3, but not huge difference
• ISO200 and ISO800: no noticable difference in dynamic range
• Conclusion: Video features and Autofocus are main advantages with X-T3 over X-T2
• at very high ISO the X-T2 has more noise than X-T3, but the difference is not that much

The French youtube channel Les Guide Fujifilm by Damien Bernal compared the X-T2 and X-T3 during a Fuji event at very high ISO (12,800). The comparison is not really fair, since the X-T2 was shot at 1/1000s whereas the X-T3 at 1/1100s, but you can see the result minute 12:01 here. The difference is substantial, but again, take the test with a grain of salt.

Also williamchua is testing the Fujifilm X-T3. Apart from wonderful images he shared in his blog post here, he says that “high ISO noise control is better than the X-T2“.

Make sure to check back our previous article about the JPEG X-T3 vs X-T2 high ISO comparison here and we have an X-T3 ISO 8000 sample by DPReview, which we shared and commented here.

CONCLUSIONS: Of course no conclusion can be taken, since only the RAW files will tell the truth. But if I should take one based on JPEG comparisons shared so far, I’d say there is no difference at lower ISO, but at very high ISO the X-T3 is better than the X-T2. But only RAW will tell the truth.

Fujifilm X-T3 Roundup

TheCameraStoreTV published their full Fujifilm X-T3 review. No IBIS, could have battery life, but for the rest it’s a solid camera. Check out the video down below or directly on youtube here.

And now to the lock-ups.

Dylan Goldby has tons of great things to say about the Fujifilm X-T3. Especially the autofocus is excellent. He was convinced and pre-ordered one right away.

However, he experienced lock-ups. Check out the video above or on youtube here. In his follow up video here, he says Fuji is releasing a fix via firmware update.

We already reported, that ZedProMedia also experienced lock-ups, but only when his X-T3 was attached to the battery grip. Using the X-T3 body only, ZedProMedia said the camera was “rocksolid“. In Dylan’s case it happened with body only.

BigheadTaco also said he didn’t experience any lock-ups.

Keep in mind that most you see is pre-production stuff, and in part some bugs are to expect while developing the final firmware. But let’s hope that once the Fujifilm X-T3 hits the market, the X-T3 will be bug free… and if not, at least Fujifilm has a great firmware update history ;),
