Fuji XT3 10 bit 4k 60p

Looks like the XT3 is going to have 10bit recording as well as 4k 60p.

I am quite surprised about this. I guess maybe I shouldn't since 10 bit is the natural way to compete against full frame if you have a smaller sensor. I thought it would be a bit longer before we started seeing 10 bit APSC slr's though.

Its certainly a welcome change. I made a good decision selling my GH5 and investing in Fuji gear.

I still really love the feel of the GH5 in my hands. The Fuji has a great image though and with a new sensor it may be king of SLR's for video.

All rumors of course but it looks like this will probably happen.
 
I almost pulled the trigger on the xh1 but glad I waited. Going to get the XT3 for sure. I had the xt2 and loved it.

I got an XT20 recently and was gonna buy an XT2 (mainly for 120fps) but decided to wait to see what the XT3 would deliver. I was expecting better auto focus but this is also pretty amazing!
 
I'm waiting to see if they really get this one close to right, the XH1 left off too many video features to tempt me so I am still using what I have. But my full 35mm frame lenses will adapt just fine onto Fuji should they finally give us a few of the lacking features.

Longer than 30 minutes is one of them.
 
Nikon had better bring their A Game, if Fujifilm is bringing out the Fujifilm X-T3 for sub US$1.5K with 4K 60fps 10bit (dunno if at the same time and internal?) with APS-C IBIS (well, at least I hope they don't drop IBIS! But then again the GH5S happened)*etc

Very appealing!
 
IBIS will be in the XH2 because it makes the body fatter.

10 bit f-log might be really good.

Would like an option to run compressed CDNG though

And want more than 30 minutes maximum record time (in compressed mp4).

Also NEED the power grip to raise it the slightest amount so that it fits in the 15 LWS rod specs., not really looking to go to a 15 studio or 19mm system for this camera. Not sure how they can make this happen, but I think it is possible because the XT1 with grip was very close when sitting almost directly on the rods. That means we may need to have a video power grip that only allows external power input, would be nice to have a regular 4 pin or mini XLR 4 pin for this so it can take anywhere from like 8.4v up to over 16v (internal regulators).

Extra bonus, SDI output on the video power grip or at least clean 10 bit HDMI at any resolution that camera can record would be nice. Just want to be able to get a good viewfinder on there. Output MUST have nearly zero delay!

I've been thinking about a BMD 4k pocket lately, but if Fuji does things right, I'd prefer to buy the Fuji because I have stuff already and like what I get from their cameras for stills.
 
It's very rare for a camera to have internal CDNG recording.

It's obviously Blackmagic's thing and then only a couple more "outside-the-box" thinkers have it like DJI and Digital Bolex.
 
My guess is Fuji will stick to its normal 15 minute recording BS. IBIS will only be in the XH series not the XT series. So you'll have to wait for the XH2 for that. I am still going to buy it regardless.

30 minutes with battery grip, much like the XT-2, I'm guessing.

Would be nice if it was 30 minutes internal. I really don't know quite what to expect with this camera. They say the XH line is supposed to be their video line, so it would make sense they'd hold off on certain features for that. Who knows.

I am pretty much going to buy it regardless at this point.
 
All of these nice specs supposedly exist because of better hardware that's now available (at least for them), so maybe the limit will be increased.
 
Thirty minutes is a tax limit, things that record more than 30 minutes bring a video camera tax in the EU. Some companies won't sell with limit and no limit firmwares, so we all get limited. In this day and age, that tax should be retired!
 
Yea, we're talking to get at least 30 minutes internally as no Fujis do in 4K without the battery grip (if applicable) besides the X-H1.

(They stop at 10 minutes.)

Duties are supposed to protect domestic industry, they are protecting the EU video camera industry which are the following companies..... uhm, let me think........, oh that's right, if that duty is not there people obviously will not buy an ARRI camera. :laugh:
 
Yeah, I know the 10 minute limit without the power grip, I think I remember that it is about heat buildup inside the main body. But when compared to GH4 or GH5, you have to question why this still happens.
 
The GH4 and GH5 have a baby sensor...that's always been the theory.

Fuji is a novice in the digital video specs department.
