UPDATE if you want to read this first look in German, click hereWith the release of my new ebook in the X E2 finally out of the way, Im happy to preview Fujis first third generation X camera the Fujifilm X3. This is a weirdly interesting device When it comes to features and usability, it is Fujis most advanced camera to date, easily leaving the X E2 and even X T1 behind. So even if you arent interested in buying or using a compact camera with a 23 sensor, this camera is worth a look, as its new features will also appear in future X series models with larger sensors. SOOC JPEGClick here to access my album of 1. These samples also include several sets comparing all eleven film simulations. Iridient Raw Developer Serial' title='Iridient Raw Developer Serial' />With the exception of a missing built in ND filter, this little camera isnt holding back with features that will please many X enthusiasts. Here we go The X3. M dot electronic viewfinder EVF as the X E2 with only 0. K dot tilting LCD twice the resolution of the X2. WYSIWYG capabilities what you see is what you get that include DR2. DR4. 00 previews, a dedicated RAW shooting mode, fast hybrid tracking AF, improved Instant AF, multi point Single AF, six user configurable Fn buttons, a fully configurable Quick menu, vastly improved movievideo options with full manual control, a critically improved JPEG engine with a new Kodak like film simulation called Classic Chrome, wireless remote control and Instax printing, interval shooting for time lapse photography, optional AF frame and spot metering frame coupling, 3 EV exposure compensation in manual mode when Auto ISO is active misomatic, and several more small but welcome improvements that make our life much easier. PhewOf course, the X3. Fuji engineered and Toshiba built 23 X Trans sensor as its X2. Or maybe do bother, because everything new thats described in this preview will also be featured in Fujis upcoming APS C camera models. So on second thought, this may just be the preview youve been looking for. Body and Handling. The X3. 0 is made in China, but it certainly doesnt show. To the contrary, the solid body with magnesium top and bottom plates and metal dials has a genuine premium feel. For a compact camera, the X3. X1. 00. S. The F2 2. X2. 0 and features Fujis trademark High Transmittance Electronic Beam Coating HT EBC. SOOC JPEGThere are six configurable function buttons video button, four selector buttons and a dedicated Fn button that can assume any of the following roles Macro. ISOSelf Timer. Image Size.

This is plenty to choose from, and as usual, each of the six Fn buttons can quickly be reassigned by simply pressing and holding it for about two seconds. SOOC JPEGThe lens control ring can also assume different functions Theres an intelligent context sensitive standard mode, but by pressing the new Rfn button at the front of the camera, you can also use the ring to control other tasks Continuous Shooting DRIVE modeISOWhite Balance. Film Simulation. However, you will normally want to use the lens control ring to set the cameras aperture in aperture priority and manual mode, or the shutter speed in shutter priority mode. Press Gothic Pro Font. In manual focus mode, the control ring can be used to focus the lens. Of course, the X3. Theres a command dial thumb wheel at the back of the camera that can be also depressed to perform additional functions such as zooming into the live view image. As mentioned before, the four selector keys are now Fn buttons, and here it comes You can configure them to directly change the focus area, so you dont have to press an AF button first. X T1 and X E2 users Start drooling with envy now The X3. USB a USB charger and a Micro USB cable are included, or externally via an optional Fuji or third party battery charger. Personally, I recommend battery chargers and batteries from Patona at least thats how they are called in Europe, the US equivalent appears to be named Wasabi. Speaking of batteries, the X3. NP 9. 5 type batteries, the same as in the X S1, X1. X1. 00. S. They are supposed to last for about 4. I suggest you always set the camera to high performance mode and simply carry a spare battery. Lightroom 5. 6 AstiaThe exposure compensation dial allows adjustments of 3 EV, which is the current X camera standard. The threaded shutter button accepts a traditional cable release, but you can just as well remotely control the camera via an app or use an RR 9. USB port. Theres also an HDMI output and a 2. This audio input can also be used as another remote shutter release port that is compatible with Canon Rebel and many other camera models. The hot shoe accepts flash units from pretty much all vendors, but TTL flash is still only available in concert with the Fuji EF 2. EF X2. 0 or EF 4. This will change with the advent of additional TTL flash options, though. Thanks to the cameras leaf shutter, flash sync isnt an issue and works with shutter speeds up to 11. User Interface and Operating Experience. As can be expected from a third generation camera, the X3. The macro button is now a simple toggle between normal, macro and super macro modes instead of opening a cumbersome menu. Information overlays in the display are less distracting and dont obscure image corners, and theres an on screen AF mode indicator that shows whether AF S or AF C is currently selected. Theres also a distinct AF tracking mode in the DRIVE menu, thus avoiding confusion whether or not the currently selected burst speed is able to perform focus tracking. Like in the X T1, the information overlays in the EVF change when the camera is held upright. Even better, the color saturation of the EVF and LCD can now be independently adjusted in 1. EVF that complements the manual adjustment. The real time viewfinder is as large and fast as the EVF in the X E2, and it also features the same resolution of 2. With a display lag of only 0. Overall, the X3. 0 is a pretty responsive camera startup time 0. UHS I SD cards with 9. MBs write speed are appropriate. WYSIWYG has been improved, with the camera now simulating extended dynamic range settings of DR2. DR4. 00 in the live view and live histogram. That said, theres also a new RAW shooter mode that displays a plain live view with minimal contrast and no application of film simulations and other JPEG parameters.
