Fujifilm has announced its latest mirrorless camera Fujifilm X-T3 in company’s X Series lineup. The camera is the successor of X-T2 launched back in 2016. This new camera will take on recently launched mirrorless cameras by Nikon and Canon.
Fujifilm X-T3 not just improves resolution but also improves processing power and autofocus performance.
It features newly-developed back-illuminated 26.1-megapixel X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor and the X-Processor 4 image processing engine. The company claims that the processing power of the camera is approximately 3 times faster than that of the current models. There is the AF system with 2.16 million phase detection pixel covering nearly 100% of sensor. So, it can use PDAF even in low light conditions or detect face of a moving person.
It features a native ISO range of 160 through 12800. It can also be pushed as high as ISO 51200 and as low as ISO 80 in extended mode.
The company claims that this is the first APS-C mirrorless camera capable of 4K/60fps 10-bit video capture. Video is available at 4K DCI quality and up to 60fps. It records e internally to a memory card at up to 400Mbps. Audio is recorded in 24-bit, 48KHZ.
It has high-resolution 3.69-million-dot Evolved electronic viewfinder with high magnification ratio of 0.75 times. It has display time lag of 0.005 seconds and refresh rate is approximately 100fps. It also has multi-angle LCD monitor. The LCD display tilts three ways (up, down, and to the right), but won’t flip 180 degrees.
The camera also supports 10-bit colour depth that boosts the amount of colour information by 64 times compared to 8-bit depth.
Fujifilm X-T3 comes with two card slots instead of just one. It supports SD/SDHC/SDXC cards supporting UHS-II transfer rates. It also supports Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, for image transfer to and remote control via an Android or iOS device. It also offers PC Sync socket, a USB-C port, a micro HDMI output, a 2.5mm microphone input, and a 3.5mm headphone jack for audio monitoring.
The battery is also rated for 390 shots per CIPA standards or 40min of 4K recording or 45min of Full HD recording.
Fujifilm X-T3 will be available at a starting price of $1,499.95 (body only) and will go on sale on September 20.
