Anyone here getting the new X-T3 or already got one?
I am thinking about getting one. Most of the reviews I have read about it are pretty positive.
I have an X-T1 and an X-T20.
This would be a nice upgrade from the X-T1.

Will

I have the XT2 will probably wait six months or so to see if any bugs need to be worked out of it,,,and if it passes with flying colors will probably buy one,,,makes one wonder what Fuji will bring out when they upgrade the XH 1 !!!

Find a store that takes trades. I have a friend that traded both his xt2 and XH1 for the new XT3.

Not really. After he shot a few photos with the XT3, he was real happy about the deal. So much better then the previous two cameras! The detail recorded, the touch screen AF and the fact that the screen doesn't black out when shooting in continuous mode, he is very happy.

Trading both the X-T2 and X-H1 for the X-T3 made the purchase very expensive!

The XH1 is more expensive than the XT-3 and it's quite new. If I owned the XH1 wouldn't even consider a trade even for the XT-3. The XH-1 first shipment was March 1st and the oldest is less than 6 months old and still under warranty. Current new price for the XT-2 is $1100 and the XH-1 is $1700 a total cost of $2800 and the XT-2 is less than 2 years old and traded in for the XT-3 which is $1500 as a lost of $1300. That is too much to lose for wanting the latest. To me it's GAS.

In spite of Tatooed Fuji Fat Fanboy’s constant (repetitive) ravings on YouTube, I am still very impressed with the specs and reviews of this camera. I wish I could afford one.

I just got my new X-T3 yesterday. I'm upgrading from the X-T1. My initial reaction is the auto focus is very fast and ergonomically it feels better in my hands.

I received my XT-3 on September 21st from B&H, and it is an impressive camera. While I'll keep my XT-2 as a backup body, I sold my XT-1 on e-Bay, which I used as a backup to my XT-2. Fortunately, Iridient Transformer has already released an update to convert the XT-3's RAW files to DNGs, which LR will recognize. (Adobe has not yet released an update to convert the XT-3 files.) As advertised, the auto focus system is a significant improvement over the XT-2, and it is far superior to what I had on my Nikon D750. Shooting a moving heron with the 100-400mm in low light conditions, I achieved over a 90% keeper rate. Although I haven't shot video in years, the XT-3 video specs are so impressive, I'm going to give video a try again. Although some have wondered about the XT-3 being built in China, I see no difference in build quality between the Japanese built XT-2 and the 3. Perhaps that's why Fuji was able to offer it at its launch price of $1500. Since I've built up a nice collection of Fuji glass over the past five years, I'm looking forward to getting out and putting the XT-3 through its paces. One small issue....I chose the silver model this time and really love its looks. However, with my slowly failing eyesight, I find the dials a little harder to read than the black model. The contrast of black lettering against the grey/silver dials is not as good as white lettering against a black background. But the silver model is so darned good looking, I'm still a happy camper.

Please let us know how the video is- especially related to continuous auto focus and the end result. Thanks.

When you get a chance to try out the video, please let us know how the continuous focus is. BIF or just active would be great! Thanks.

Why the XH1?
