MANILA -- Hot on the heels of the X-T100 camera release this year, Fuji is releasing two more cameras to close 2018.

UPDATED HIGH-END X-T CAMERA

The X-T3 is the update to Fuji's high-end mirrorless camera, the X-T2, released back in 2016, featuring technical and ergonomic improvements but still retains the X-series classic camera aesthetic with slightly bigger knobs for ease of use.

The 26.1-MP camera has faster autofocus that makes it possible to shoot blackout free photos for up to 30 frames per second and a “Sports finder mode” that is useful in tracking moving subjects. The new sensor also significantly decreases distortion due to shutter roll for both stills and video.

The video capabilities have been upgraded with the XT-3 being the first mirrorless camera capable of capable of 4K/60P 4:2:0 bit internal SD card recording, as well as 4K/60P 4:2:210bit HDMI output. It also inherits the color-grading friendly ETERNA film simulation from its video specialist sibling, the XH-1.

Looking at the specs, it looks like the the XT-3 is positioned against the new Canon EOS-R and the Sony α7iii mirrorless cameras.

From the preview, the X-T3 seems to be a worthy successor to the X-T2. Look out for more information after the camera launches late October.

The X-T3 is now available for pre-order at authorized Fujifilm dealers with an SRP of P86,990 (body only) and P109,990 (kit).
