I especially like the dials that allow me to make changes that I see through the lens. I get what I see now.

This is what the DSLR fanboys fail to see. The real advantage of the mirrorless EVF! They read all the criticisms of lags and latency and small batteries, and how their mirror lets them see the world as it is. But when people like you and I got our hands on the really modern mirrorless, and actually started using it, our Nikons become cumbersome and unresponsive by comparison. It's not the size or the weight, or the quiet. It is the performance.

Apple sells a Camera Connection Kit and a Lifhtning to SD Card Camera Reader. When connected a camera icon will appear in lower part of the Photos app panel. I do not know whether all image file formats (jpeg, tiff, bitmap, etc) are readable but those that are can be downloaded. The Connectioon kit has part that lets a camera via USB be connected but it uses the 'old style before Lightning' connector but there is a cable converter available. Check an Apple Store for updates to this area of products.

Thanks for the reply. Tell, me, have you had occasion to use the XT3 for action shots, such as sports or birds in flight? I use a Nikon D500 to shoot high school ice hockey and it is great--but I am looking to go mirrorless to replace the D500, because of its weight and bulk. What makes it so great is the enormous buffer, there being no delay for writing to the memory card after each burst of shots in continuous shutter mode. Have you found any delay using the XT-3 in continuous shutter?

(Thoughtful replies such as yours are helpful in pushing me toward making the purchase. Thanks again.)

I use the Apple SD card reader that plugs into my iPad Pro. It instantly downloads from my Fuji XT 2 and Fuji X100F I don’t recall the price but I bought two from the Apple Store. One for home and one in my camera bag. Never the slightest issue.

I got mine from Best Buy. I believe I paid around +/- $25.00 for it. Works well with my iPad Pro and the SD cards from all my cameras--D90, Canon G16, and Sony A6300. It also worked well when I had my D7200.

Glad you got your answer from the Apple guys. I've used the Apple SD Card Reader for years. On a tour through Patagonia and another through China, I would download photos I'd just taken to my iPad while on the bus then use AirDrop to send some of the better ones, especially with people in them, to other members of the travel group (if they had iPhones, which many did). So I had my photos backed up and shared very quickly. It worked great for me.

I agree, and I appreciate the ability to actually see what my image will look like before I press the shutter button.

Just as fast as my D500. I went to the X-T3 for two reasons. The main reason is I get to see what I get and can control everything without taking my eyes off my subject. The size and weight was also a reason especially on full days carrying a camera around. And, I have great straps (Peak and Black Rapid) but still heavy.

Glad to hear that its as fast as the D500. I think the only solution to the "still heavy" problem may be a membership at the gym and more frequent workouts. Thanks for the reply. Much appreciate it.

I am 75 years old, work with weights 6 days a week. It’s still heavey and bulky hanging around my neck/shoulders. Four surgeries on my right hand, screws in my shoulder and other minor metal in my body. Former Marine and can stay up with the 35 year olds in the gym. Don’t need someone who doesn’t have a clue about life suggesting I need more gym time. I would say more but I am sure it would be wasted on you.

The suggestion for the gym membership was directed at ME, not you. I meant no offense to you. Keep going strong and stay well.
(That’s what I’ve been trying to do myself since removal of my pancreas for pancreatic CA, spleen and gall bladder in 1985, plates and screws in my ankle in 1995; and a liver transplant in 2014)
No clue about life? Bite you tongue. LOL.

Apologies accepted. Let’s stick to photography.
