Fujifilm packs the X-T2's successor with a ton of new capabilities for the money. The X-T3 boasts a new 26-megapixel backside-illuminated (BSI) version of the company's CMOS X-Trans 4 sensor, with millions of phase-detection autofocus points that cover the entire frame; the ability to record 10-bit Cinema 4K/30p video to SD card (albeit in 4:2:0 H.265); a bump from a dual-core X-Processor image-processing engine to quad core for improved performance for operations like continuous shooting and applying its film simulations; and more.

Edge-to-edge AF points, 11fps continuous shooting and 10-bit DCI 4K video in-camera for $1,500.

Aside from getting our hands on Fujifilm's latest prosumer mirrorless camera, we got the chance to try out the X-Trans 4 CMOS sensor's capabilities through a quick stroll around Ortigas. We got to try Fujifilm's two new lenses as well.

The Fujifilm XT3 is a high-end mirrorless camera with a 26 Megapixel APSC-sized sensor, embedded phase-detect autofocus, 4k video at 60p, a large detailed electronic viewfinder and tilting touchscreen packed into a compact retro-styled body.

Fujifilm has found many fans since it launched its X-series of compacts and interchangeable-lens cameras, and the fourth-generation X-T3 is a significant step forward for the company.

Excellent image quality; Solid autofocusing performance; Very good electronic viewfinder

Some fringing in EVF; Dials can be knocked easily; Viewfinder eyecup can obstruct LCD view

The X-H1 came out earlier this year, so we expect it'll be some time before Fujifilm gives us the X-H2, which will presumably match or better the X-T3 in autofocus and capture rate.

26MP BSI APS-C image sensor; 20fps full-resolution shooting; 30fps at 16.6MP; Full sensor autofocus coverage; 4K video; Dust and splash protection; Bluetooth and Wi-Fi

Omits in-body stabilization; No built-in flash; Battery life could be better; Banding can be an issue when using the electronic shutter

Fujifilm is updating its popular X-T2 mirrorless camera in a big way. The X-T3 ($1,499.95, body only) has a new sensor and processor, squeezing 26.1MP into an APS-C form factor and supporting up to 30fps Raw image capture with minimal viewfinder blackout. It's not quite the affordable version of Sony's full-frame Sony a9, which shoots at 20fps with no blackout, as the sensor readout isn't as speedy, but it's a solid option for photographers capturing fast-moving action using the mechanical shutter and a speedy 11fps shooting rate. And while it omits the in-body image stabilization offered by the a9 and the pricier Fujifilm X-H1, it's also smaller and more affordable than either. All About the Dials Fujifilm is offering the X-T3 in both black and silver versions for the same price. This is a departure from previous models, which have started in black and later garnered a special edition Graphite Silver version at a higher cost after the initial launch. As with other premium X camer...

The mirrorless Fujifilm X-T3 camera features the best autofocus tracking system Fuji has delivered to date, but is a bit power hungry and doesn't offer sensor stabilization.

Durable; Great Features; Great Picture Quality; Lightweight

It’s really hard to find anything bad to say about the Fujifilm X-T3 – it’s just consistently great in so many ways. Fuji’s sensibly not tried to reinvent the wheel here – it will be instantly familiar to anyone who’s used any X-Series cams, from the gorgeous body to the superb manual controls that give you so much control without ever needing to lift your eye from the viewfinder. What it has done, though, is to look at virtually every feature on the X-T2 and upgrade it. Some of these upgrades are relatively minor, such as the fact that you can now lock the eye diopter in place to save it getting knocked out of focus. But many are substantial – the pro-level video options, the high-res EVF, the super-fast autofocus and burst shooting. What you’re left with is an all-round beast of a camera in a small, beautiful form. As APS-C shooters go, it’s the best there is.

Fujifilm's new X-Series flagship reaffirms the company's commitment to the APS-C sensor format. With its wealth of professional-standard features and comfortable handling, it makes a powerful argument in favour cropped-sensor cameras.
