Noise Levels with X-T3 with High ISOs in Low Light
 
Just wondering for people that had the X-T2 and Upgraded to the X-T3 and their opinions of the Image Quality with RAW Files...
 
My findings is the the Images have more noise on the X-T3...
 
Love the X-T3 - Upgraded from the X-T2
 
But is Anyone Else Noticing More Noise in their Images on their X-T3 Especially in Low Light Shooting?
Noise Level starts from 3200 ISO and up...
 
It seems that the noise is more amplified on the X-T3 than the X-T2.
 
I shoot in low light live dance performances which is not easy but it looks like the X-H1 handles low light much better than the X-T3.
 
Sometimes I wondering if it's me or the camera...
 
Though I've done a couple of shoots with the X-T3 with same results of high level of noise ever since I got the camera on release day and never got the high noise levels from the X-T2 and the X-H1 performs better in low light than the X-T3...
 
Depends on the acceptance of the level of noise from person to person I guess...

I own both the XT-2 and XT-3 and it does appear that there is slightly more high-ISO noise in the XT-3. Having said this, they both respond well to noise reduction software (I use Capture One) so, although a bit disappointing, it's not a major deal for me.

I own both XT-2 & 3 as well.  I have come to the same conclusion.  I have set the two cameras aside for special purposes.  The XT-3 is my go to camera being outstanding for Sports & Wildlife.  That Auto-focus is insane and just does wonders on unpredictable subjects.  I also prefer the XT-3 in good light for landscape and such, but when I know the light may be questionable out comes the XT-2.  At ISO 3200 or less the XT-3 does fine, but the XT-2 can easily go to 6400 and I've even had success at 12800.  So it's the XT-2 for low light and the XT-3 for everything else.

I also agree. While not a huge issue, it does present a problem when the shooting conditions are dark and the subjects are moving, because the 3 focuses better but has more noticeable noise than the 2. 

As someone who switched to Fuji for primarily JPEG shooting, it's a little disappointing to have to fix this in post.

      Fuji 16-55mm Mark I vs Mark II

      By abmet · Posted

      I really like the image quality, size, and weight of my mark II. I never owned the mark I so I can’t help with comparison though it is highly regarded as a great lens.  I don’t use mine for video but I will say it doesn’t have the smoothest zoom, which seems to be common complaint for the mark II.  For photos it doesn’t bother me but I would imagine would be an issue if zooming while recording video.

      Fuji 16-55mm Mark I vs Mark II

      Good day fellow Fuji people   I wanted to ask your opinion on the subject of the 16-55mm Mark I vs Mark II. I want to use it mainly for my concert photography where I currently use my 50-140mm and a second camera with a prime lense. I would like to use a second good quality zoom lens thats why I became interested in the 16-55mm. My question is for anyone having experience with both wether the new one (which looks very promising but pricey) or the older one (much heavier but seems to deliver on optical quality and I could get that used for roughly half the price of the new one)?  From what I could find online I guess in terms of pure image quality both are going to deliver. So then it would come down to usability, ease of use, maybe video ability, and longevity etc.  I use my Fuji X-H2 and Fuji X-S20 currently. If anyone has thoughts I would be highly appreciative. Thank you in advance,   Best regards from Switzerland, Mischa

      Xf 500mm infinity focus

      By pw-pix · Posted

      It'd be a bit of a rigmarole, but maybe enable the function buttons on the lens, focus on infinity (distant tower/tree/mountain/etc), then set that as a focus preset. Use a function button to return to that infinity focus when you have a bird against a clear sky. I have the same problem with my XF 150-600, so far I just put up with it, or zoom out enough to find and focus on the bird, or focus on a distant treetop etc.

      Xf 500mm infinity focus

      By Astigmatism · Posted

      I've wondered the same thing. Years ago I learned that some very long lenses can focus slightly past infinity, for the reasons that temperature and other variables can move the mechanical location of infinity focus around a little bit, and IIRC using IR film can require focusing out further than the position that's best for visible light. I've focused on birds on distant towers, and the autofocus worked for that. Still, I'll be watching this thread for further developments.

      Xf 500mm infinity focus

      By David Webster · Posted

      I was hoping to get some info on how to infinity focus the xf 500mm.  I’m trying to focus on distant birds in the sky.  Is there an infinity mark on the lenses? If so, I can’t find it. If there’s not one, how would one work around this?
