When photos of the Fujifilm X-T3 have leaked, we didn’t have too much info about what’s hiding on the inside. But now, the specs have leaked as well and we get to see a pretty detailed list of features. Compared to its predecessor, the X-T3 will have improved video and continuous shooting capabilities, along with better battery life. So let’s dive in and see what Fujifilm brings you in the new mirrorless camera.
The Fujifilm X-T3’s specs have leaked on Nokishita Camera’s website, and here’s what is listed (with a little help from Google Translate):
Equipped with back-illuminated “X-Trans CMOS 4” sensor with newly developed effective pixel number of approximately 26.1 million pixels (no low pass filter)High-speed image processing engine “X-Processor 4”By increasing the number of phase difference pixels to about 4 times the current ratio, the image plane phase difference AF area is expanded to the entire screen area (about 100%)Extended the low luminance limit of phase difference AF from conventional -1 EV to -3 EV4K / 60P 4: 2: 0 Compatible with 10-bit SD card recording in the camera. 4K / 60P 4: 2: 2 Also supports 10bit HDMI output (up from the X-T2’s 4K at 30fps/full HD at 60fps)“Sports finder mode” function is newly installed. Blackout-free high-speed continuous shooting at the maximum speed of 30 frames per second is possible within a frame equivalent to 16.6 million pixels (1.25 times crop)Newly equipped “pre-shooting” function that starts shooting from the time when the shutter button is pressed halfway and records the shot image by pressing the shutter button all the way“Monochrome adjustment” function is newly added to “Film simulation”“Color Chrome Effect” function is first installed as “X series”USB Type adopts Type-C (USB 3.1 Gen 1) standardStandard ISO: 160 to 12800 (extended ISO: 80/100/125/25600/51200)Continuous: About 11 frames / sec (mechanical shutter), about 30 frames / sec (electronic shutter, 1.25 times crop)EVF: 0.5 type organic EL finder Approx. 3.69 million dots 0.75 timesRear liquid crystal: 3.0 type approximately 1.04 million dots 3 way tilt type touch panel liquid crystalFilm simulation: 16 modes (including ETERNA)Wi-Fi · Bluetooth 4.2 installedBattery: NP-W126SNumber of storable pictures: approx. 390 pictures (in normal mode)Size: 132.5 × 92.8 × 58.8 mmWeight: 539 g (including battery and SD memory card), 489 g (body only)Scheduled to correspond to movie shooting with hybrid log gamma method and “Simultaneous film simulation / F-Log simultaneous output” by firmware update through 2018
Fuji Rumors writes that the battery life for video is also extended for 15% (390 shots CIPA standard). As we could have seen from the leaked images, the Fujifilm X-T3 will come in two color variants: black and silver. According to Nokishita, the camera will be ready for preorders on 6 September and start shipping from 20 September. It’s been rumored that the Fujifilm X-T3 will have no in-body image stabilization. The leaked specs didn’t help us find out whether this is true or not. Oh, and they didn’t tell us the most important piece of information: how many memory card slots will it have?! [via Fuji Rumors]
