Recording RAW is a pro choice, there's no way around that and for holiday videos and snaps as you've found, isn't ideal.
Slimraw comparison update#
It'll be a tragedy if it does not get an update in 2020 with the X-T3's sensor. The way it is engineered, the springy almost silent shutter, the quality of the components is out of this world. You can tell the X-H1 was a narrow margin camera for Fuji and that they make more money on the X-T3. For locked-down handheld shots the IBIS is even better than the best (GH5 / Olympus)
Slimraw comparison manual#
I can nail manual focus all day through the EVF on the X-H1 even at F0.95, and I can reel off handheld shots as if it's on a tripod. The X-T30 feels REALLY cheap in comparison. The feel when you pick it up is amazing, really high-end, and ergonomically it's Fuji's best camera aside from maybe the GFX 100. I had the X-T30 briefly and it's a bargain. or swap the lens out for 35mm f2 for 860e - but then its worth springing the extra for the XT3 35mm f2 for 1222 euros. This week I can get XT30 and kit 15-45 for 600e, which seems too good to be true. That said, I am to-and-fro-ing between the 3 Fuji's. It's on the radar, but aside from IBIS I feel like the XT30 has the upper hand for personal usage. How great is that!! Cinema DNG 4K is real RAW, and it's full frame, and it's there on my SD card or SSD when I want it. In terms of the video I like how unique it is. practical. taking it slow, not too showy. Bit like a Leica M, but way more flexible. In terms of the stills I like the Fp as a gentleman's 'artist's tool' but one that is down to earth. In same way there will be times when an X-T3 gets a shot that the Fp's autofocus would be too much of a slouch for, but conversely times when the Fp will give you a wow factor that APS-C is too limited for. It's meant for sparing use on an art project or short film. it might even be better to shoot 10bit LOG when the next firmware update comes out because there are times when the sheer file sizes of RAW are just going to be a headache. Uncompressed 4K RAW is always going to be challenging for travels and shooting a lot.
Slimraw comparison archive#
What you could do instead of being forced into a daily edit, is to simply convert the RAW to a LOG format, and archive the files on a 4TB drive for after the holiday. Plus, for stills, at night, the FP’s AF isn’t ideal. And I’d even be willing to shoot with the internal 8bit for the sake of losing the SSD, but, damn, fast sd cards are so much more expensive for way less capacity than the T5. And having the T5 strapped to the camera also takes away from the compactness of the camera.
Not to say I’m disappointed with the FP at all, but the fact that I’m having to edit all the day’s footage each night in Resolve so that I can clear out the T5 for the next day’s footage isn’t the most convenient. Having recently gone from X-T3 to the FP, and the fact that I’m on holiday in Denmark with my family at the moment with the FP, I’d say go for the X-T3.
