Fujifilm X-T3

Short answer

The Fujifilm X-T3 is an SLR-style mirrorless camera released in September 2018 at a US launch price of $1,499. It has a 26.1 MP APS-C X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor and the X-Processor 4. The same sensor and processor are in the X-T30 II, X-E4, X100V, and X-T4. There is no in-body stabilization.

It weighs 539 g and measures 132.5 × 92.8 × 58.5 mm. Fujifilm rates the battery at about 390 shots per charge. The body is weather sealed. It records to two SD UHS-II card slots. It shoots video at 4K/60p, 1080/120p, 10-bit external.

The viewfinder is 3.69M-dot OLED (0.75× magnification). The rear screen is a 3.0-inch three-way tilting touchscreen with 1.04M dots. Native sensitivity runs ISO 160–12800, extended to 80–51200. Continuous shooting reaches 30 fps electronic (crop), 11 fps mechanical.

Compared with the X-T2 (2016), the previous model in the series:

  • 26.1 MP instead of 24.3 MP
  • X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor (was X-Trans CMOS III)
  • X-Processor 4 (was X-Processor Pro)
  • 1 new film simulation (ETERNA / Cinema)
  • 32 g heavier (539 g)
  • 390 shots per charge instead of 340
  • launch price $100 lower ($1,499)

It was followed by the X-T4 in 2020.

Film simulations on the X-T3

It has 16 of the 20 film simulations. It lacks REALA ACE, Nostalgic Neg., ETERNA Bleach Bypass, and Classic Negative.

camera.lensesFor

The X-T3 takes X mount lenses, and the catalog lists 92 of them. 40 are Fujifilm’s own and 52 come from other brands, mostly Viltrox, 7Artisans, and Sigma. Focal lengths run from 8 mm to 600 mm, and the fastest opens at f/0.9. 69 are primes and 23 are zooms.

Fujifilm no longer sells the X-T3 new. It arrived in September 2018 and the X-T4 replaced it in April 2020, so what is on sale now is second hand. Its launch price was $1,499, the only official figure it ever had. Fujifilm rated it at 390 shots per charge with a new battery.
