The general opinion is, the X-T3 is a significant improvement over the X-T2. ...and if you want IBIS in a Fujifilm camera buy the X-H1, or wait for the X-H2. https://jonasraskphotography.com/2018/09/06/fujifilm-x-t3-review-next-generation-x/ https://ivanjoshualoh.com/2018/09/06/x-t3-fujifilm-finest/ https://www.macleanphotographic.com/fujifilm-xt3/ https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/fujifilm-x-t3-first-impressions-review?utm_source=self-desktop&utm_medium=marquee&utm_campaign=traffic_so urce https://youtu.be/A0Nr8qVdXDQ NO IBIS!!! SIN! Fact is, ISO advantages rapidly vanish without IBIS. So much so I've gotten better pictures with m4/3rds under adverse conditions than some have with APS FF cameras that lack IBIS. Great! However, depending on your subject, for example any action sport, or wildlife in motion, or BIF is not going to be helped by VR/IS/OIS, or IBIS as neither ILIS, nor IBIS is going to do anything to stop/freeze subject motion. What counts is technique, high speed, and inertial stability imparted via subject tracking. Now if you are shooting handheld interiors, handheld macro, handheld landscape, handheld portraits, or just find yourself trapped in low light situations (but not all) then IBIS, VR/IS/OIS is welcome. For my shooting I find that I survived without it for years of shooting film, and I am glad to have it when needed, but can live without it. Now, if most Fuji lenses are IS, and that's what you use, no issue. Currently most Fujinon lenses are not IS. Only one Fujinon prime has OIS, the 80mm. Not all of the Fujinon zooms have OIS there are several such as the XF16-50mm f/2.8 where it is notoriously absent, but it is still a great and popular lens. But it limits what you can do with non-IS lenses, adapted lenses. Though I don't think Fuji mirror-less users are as much into adapting non-Fuji lenses as m4/3rds and Sony users. Actually there is quite a large Fujifilm adapted lens community, mostly folks owning Leica, and Voigtlander glass for cameras which historically had no concept of IS, or IBIS. Some more on the X-T3. http://danbaileyphoto.com/blog/4th-generation-x-series-my-full-review-of-the-fujifilm-x-t3/?awt_l=53v8E&awt_m=3YTUy0ZsxymKiyM To add to my Fujifilm X-T3 evangelizing, a bit more to read: https://keithwee.com/portfolio/review-of-the-fujifilm-x-t3-refinements-towards-perfection-and-that-zero-black-out-30-fps/ -- Regards, Savageduck Begs the question as to why buy the X-H1? I would think that “raises the question” would be the appropriate phrase since “begs the question” is, as you have done, chronically misused. Having said that I was never tempted by the X-H1, but I am not big into video, and I can live without IBIS. However, those folks who insist on IBIS would be well served by the X-H1, or if they also want the features of the X-T3, they can wait for the X-H2. -- Regards, Savageduck |
