Canon made the sensor and accidentally sent them to Fuji instead of putting it in the R. (Note this is sarcasm) I’ll leave these frame exports here, from the X-T3, NX1 and A73. Great pictures! You're right about #1, it's a completely new generation of sensor, 3.76um photosite architecture that's also used in the 100MP sensor in GFX100.

Robert Collins Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 The 'mini medium format' of Fuji GFX is a bit of a dead end or very niche (it is mostly attractive to photographers who like to shoot a 1:1 aspect ratio.) The reason is fairly simple - the sensor size is simply too 'small' to make a meaningful difference relative to full frame. mini medium format = 44 x 33mm FF = 36 x 24mm For people who shoot landscape the horizantal, the difference between the two sensors is a little over 20% (44 v 36). So the light gathering difference is less than half a stop and the resolution difference 20%. This is much less than FF v APSC and APSC v M43. (And is virtually a rounding error in the greater scheme of things.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samsung is a dead system. Your claims of Fuji eventually abandoning APS-C for medium format are utterly absurd, as is your speculation about Fuji even considering the NX1 when designing the X-T3. Fuji have their own unique vision for where they are headed. And you have zero basis for asserting that Samsung made the sensor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandro Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 7 hours ago, Trek of Joy said: How does the rolling shutter, 10-bit, 4k60p, log profile and lens selection with the NX1 compare to the XT3? Are you really focusing on the 120p crop and not looking at the entire package? You can shoot 30 raw still images per second with the XT3 and 4k 10-bit internal with a true log profile, come on. The NX1 was a nice camera, but the XT3 is a NX1 that goes to 11, with a much better ecosystem. Chris Isn't 4k60p cropped also? I was just saying that I was expecting in 2018 to drop these freaking crop factors for >1.5k cameras that clearly shows they just can't handle the data. So did you check the ISO?

frontfocus Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I have to agree with @jonpais I don't think Fuji was looking at the Samsung. Fuji has been iterating their cameras pretty predictable, so the X-T3 became what was expected. There are a lot of nice things there. Their optics and colors are some of the best in the industry. And with the MK lenses they clearly showed, that they are also committed to video shooters. Personally I prefer the handling of the X-H1, but the image quality out of the X-T3 is just better. It might be one of the best cameras to get for video - and that for 1500$! jonpais 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kisaha Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Just for historical reasons, I remember reading interviews from Fuji execs (one was in DPR I believe) that they were following what Samsung was doing and they were humbled by the processing power and technological solutions of NX system. I believe that Fuji were most happy after Samsung abandoned the market. X-T3 is a huge leap forward since the X-T2, not even close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Members Mattias Burling Posted September 28, 2018 Super Members Share Posted September 28, 2018 I also doubt the NX1 have had much impact on the X-T3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 What lenses are you guys buying? Anyone done any AF testing on the various options? On a side note, I just shot a beach wedding in Portugal on the XH1... I knew the venue had alot of space as the ceremony was on the beach and the party was around a pool ... so shot the whole thing on the 90mm.... just looking through the shots now, looks absolutely stunning and worth some of the complications on the day. Some shots lost to AF though, so the XT3 or XH2 will certainly be added to next year's kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cojocaru27 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 meanwhile, please have a look on my last play with NX1: i am really considering x-t3 to replace my NX1 - too bad it has no ibis. lucabutera and Kisaha 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attila Bakos Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Would you guys consider the XF16-55 over the XF18-55 for video? Does the IQ difference translate into video as well? Is the XF16-55 smoother in video AF? I know the big guy doesn't have OIS, but I'm on tripod/gimbal most of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ll appreciate the form factor and OIS. If you can’t get sharp images with it, you won’t get sharp images with anything else either. Your wallet will thank you.

The 18-55 is what it is, a small, cheap, above average kit lens, the AF is good and smooth. I've yet to try the 16-55, so can't give a direct comparison, but the 18-55 doesn't have the soul of the prime lens, which is to be expected.
