In my posts about Fuji, I forgot to mention my favorite feature of the X-T3... It has a built-in battery charger. You no longer need to remove the battery to charge it. Just plug in the USB cable. It still comes with an external charger so you can manage your batteries the traditional way.

Sometimes it is the little things that you appreciate.

Well, apparently your post was seen as "click bait" by some, but it appears that it's you who might get ensnared by our "cult". I've not read all the replies but I think it was Jack 1939 who mentioned the fun factor. I bought an inexpensive Fuji X-camera and a couple of lenses, 'cause I was curious about Fuji-fans' enthusiasm. For me, that little Fujifilm camera has become more FUN than any other I own. It's OK for you to have fun with your camera, ya know...

I mis-wrote; I have actually received / seen MANY responses from Fuji owners; their comments have inspired me to look into purchasing one

I continuously read about how good the Fuji X-T series is; I am not sure I have really ever seen an article in UHH posted by a reader asking questions about the use of Fuji cameras, nor has anyone really ever alluded to owning one and commenting on how good it is ( there may have been an occasional article I don't recall seeing )

Does anyone in UHH land admit to owning / using Fuji ?


There are a lot of fuji users on this forum. Most of them have given up their Canon or Nikon gear once they tried a fuji. I gave away my last Nikon a few months ago. The fuji is easier to use, and gets a higher percentage of good images.

I own the Fuji XT 3, XT 2 and XT 10. There are many excellent features but I switched from Pentax to use the film simulations. One way to use them is to shoot raw and add several different jpegs in camera.
Another way is to bracket 3 different simulations. If you Google Fuji and jpegs, you will find that many pro photographers like the high quality jpegs.
The video setting allows shooting at 60 FPS if that is of interest.
The most important thing, however, is how the camera feels to you- the shooting experience.
I am sure you will read reviews and compare other brands. If you buy from B&H or other reputable dealers, you can return the camera for 30 days for any reason.
Hope this helps.

I have the Xt2 with Fujinon lenses. 10-24, 18-55, 55-200. Back in the 70's when I was shooting a 4x5 view camera I was told to not bother with anything other than Fujinon lenses. Not even Schneider lenses. I was very satisfied. When I discovered that Fujinon was being offered on Fujifilm cameras I jumped into place. You can read the rest elsewhere. However, one more note. There must be more than a few of you who at one time loved Fuji Film, the Film product. Remember Velvia, Provia and some of the sweetest B&W Film you could ask for? Well, the Xt2, and I assume other X series cameras and beyond, offer a film simulation for each of their film products. Did you love shooting landscapes with Velvia film? Now you can do it again using their camera and simulations. JPEG only. But let me tell you. Shooting my Fujifilm X100F with the Velvia Simulation has been exceptionally satisfying. NO PROCESSING NECESSARY. I just got back from 8 days in Glacier National Park. I hauled my Nikon D750 and D810 with me along with my Fuji system. The Nikons never came out of the car. At review time at the end of day, my colleagues were amazed. Fujifilm cameras are worth looking into, but only if you want cheaper and lighter as well.

Your post, Jim, as I read it gave me a chuckle. I bought a Fuji, even though I had several Nikons that did a respectable job. Had been using /collecting Nikons since the 70's. Once I had the Fuji, I noticed that my Nikons were getting quite dusty. Last month I parted with my last active Nikon, and my beloved 18-200. It happens, Canikon fans, sad to say. If you do not ever want to be parted from your DSLRs, do NOT handle a Fuji. They are dangerous to Canons and Nikons!

I don't have one but am very close to getting one. I've got a nice 80D kit and a G15. I'm considering an X-E3 as an upgrade from the G15. I REALLY like the 16 and 23 WR lenses to look at and think either one would look smashing on an E3. No zoom range like the G15 but otherwise probably a major step up.

I can easily see an X-E3 ergonomically replacing the G15, but certainly not the 80D. (have have an X-E2 & a G10).

Seems all I have ever used in the digital era is Fuji cameras. No particular reason, just happened that way.
The Fuji S100fs got me back in the game.
The X series first enticed me with the analog style aperture ring, shutter speed dial and great sensor and jpeg engine.
Still using first generation since 2012/13, but the price of the X-H1 is tempting me to step up.
Really anxious for the XF 16-80mm lens to come out.
