Hey guys, I am Billy of the Fuji Guys. I'm out here with the brand-new Fujifilm X-E3.
One of my favorite cameras of course is the X-T20 so I'm gonna give this a run
for its money to see if it's gonna be my next favorite camera.
So a lot of times I'm always taking pictures and I never get shots in it so
I kind of have to bring my little tripod to get me in the shot. Actually I'm gonna
do a quite a low shot today instead. Got my trusty little retro-style tripod
if you don't have like a remote release or something like that you can always
get one it's a 2.5 millimeter connector and it's compatible with with remote
releases that I should work with Canon that releases so if you have one of
those, then it's gonna work perfectly. When I use the self-timer function what
I'd like to do also is, of course, you got two options two seconds and 10 seconds I
generally put it on 10 seconds so I can actually run in to get my shot, but it
only takes one picture so what I actually do is I change the drive mode
to a continuous and when I choose one of the continuous shooting modes here.
You've got eight frames, five frames four frames or three frames. I'm just going to
choose five frames it actually takes three shots instead of a single one.
Which is kind of nice so here's just a little test you can see you got a
countdown timer. The light on the front lights up to tell you that and it starts
blinking when it gets to about a few seconds before the shot.
And here it actually provides four shots for me so that's gonna help me set up my shot
So the X-E3 comes with the kit lens this is the 18-55 kit, it is of
course compatible with every FUJIFILM XF lens so I'm just going to switch it
over and try out the XF50F2 take pictures of my kids again just to see
you know, the nicer portrait and nicer bokeh that you can get from a prime
lens like that.
One of the new things on the X-E3, of course, is the new algorithm for
autofocus and also effects the continuous autofocus which is gonna be
perfect for taking pictures of my kids especially tracking. It's supposed to
lock on them a lot more accurately and much faster as they move through the
scene so you know it's really gonna be a key benefit for me deciding to pick this
over any other camera.
What's important to me in a camera of course is video. I do a lot of videos
with my kids typically when they were born you know I look back at some of the
pictures I've taken and in some of the videos and even though the videos
were not the best of quality. I kind of enjoyed those more than the pictures so
to me you know I want to film a lot of video now and I shoot on 4k the X-T20
was great for that. The great thing in the X-E3 is that it offers the
exact same you know 4k capabilities. What's also cool is that you know I
don't have to know anything but video you know. That's a great thing about
the Fuji cameras and you know I can see that with the X-E3 as I film videos
here you know shooting in Astia with -1 / -1it really does give
me these images that just pop and you know having the larger sensor makes it
you know so much better especially when you can kind of isolate the subject from
the background.
So I really enjoy taking pictures of my kids. Doing videos with them this is kind
of, you know, what I'm put on earth to do. They are really everything for me and
you know I always like to capture those moments both photos and videos. Now to me
what makes me pick a camera of course the size and weight and this is why
mirrorless cameras are so good is that they can be made so compact and so
lightweight this is one of the smallest cameras now with an electronic
viewfinder in the X Series and you know it might be my next favorite camera over the X-T20
Now I like to put my images on Facebook so again that new fast Wi-Fi
Bluetooth combination really makes it very simple for me to share images on
the spot. I can easily just transfer it over to my smartphone and then of course
put it up on Facebook and get all the likes from the grandparents.
So I hope you guys enjoyed this video it was just me testing the camera out.
