Pros: For image quality and build quality, bravo Fuji. Beautiful aesthetics, comfortable grip and rings, high-performance autofocus, good dynamic range, very good ISO holding, good visual quality on the LCD and the image profiles with Jpeg film simulation are a lot of stuff! Nice color rendition (but this is also subjective.)
Cons: Lack of stabilizer, autofocus and dynamic range good but not at the top (but we are talking about small things, cameras are all super-cameras now, and they are good in 99% of cases) overheating in videos (mine has this problem.).
Opinion: Purchased practically new (1200 shots) under a 2-year warranty, at just over 500 euros due to a small defect (the photocell that should automatically change from EVF to LCD does not work well, but since there is a button it is not a big problem. Then, I use almost only LCD having glasses.) To say that I made the deal is an understatement, and automatically I want to speak of it super-well for the price at which I found it. Anyway, there's no doubt about it, objectively it's a superb camera even 7 years later; as I already said it's been a long time that all new cameras are "super" and so it's not so much a matter of finding defects but small small distortions ... This one does everything you need without any problems. It is not heavy nor too big, and for those who have hands that are not as big as I am it is very comfortable, its dimensions will not be those of a compact but you can travel safely. The image quality is amazing (even if, the lenses make it more than the camera!) and coupled with a nice Fuji fixed (XF is top, but also the XC 35 is wonderful for the price it has!) I put both in the defects and in the merits the autofocus and the dynamic range because in principle they are both good, very good, but they have their limits when compared to sacred beasts with 4 or 5 digit prices. Mainly I like naturalistics, and Fuji is not always the most suitable brand, but I don't see any shortcomings compared to other kits except that with competitor cameras you have a better continuous autofocus for aviofauna, but its job does it anyway, and discreetly. The lack of the stabilizer did not give me particular annoyances (I have always shot with analogue, and unless you go down in low times the problem is not there.) and in any case the Fuji lenses are stabilized. The ISO holds up very well, and there is no noticeable loss in image quality until you turn it up a lot. (At 2000 or more I took some portraits and events in low light conditions and it still produced results that were more than pleasing to customers.). Regarding the simulation of the film I want to put it on a different point of view: the JPEGs it churns out are very very beautiful, and are manna from heaven for those who want a more "relaxed" photograph, perhaps to immortalize a trip. I would say instead, that even in the case of post-production they are comfortable for Me. Personally with Fuji I don't shoot in RAW because the JPEGs it churns out are already quite beautiful, thanks to the beautiful colors and the film simulation, I no longer find myself having to "fix everything" in post-production but having to "fix" the photo, with colors very often already beautiful and that I like, so I live it as if it lightened my workload. Anyway, general verdict if it is not a 10/10 it is a 9++, and even taken on the 700 as a figure it is a beautiful, beautiful machine that you will not regret, and that has nothing to envy to the competition. I threw myself into Fuji as an undecided, having in the past tried the APSC Sony, Nikon and also the M43 Olympus and Pana (which I still respect) but now I am more convinced than ever that Fuji was the right choice, and I will stay there with the XT3 as long as it holds, to work on it and for leisure. |
