I've been a Nikon shooter since 2008 and love my D7200. It's big though (especially with my trusty 17-55 2.8) and I rarely take it with me so I would love to get a more compact mirrorless option that's easier to carry around. There's a charm to Fuji-cameras that Sony or other compact mirrorless cameras don't have in my opinion. I love the way they look and feel. I've been looking at the XT-3, X-T30 and XE3 but I'm not sure which one to get yet. Before I went to the local shop to try them out for myself I was mostly leaning towards the XT-30 because of the design and the compact size but now I'm back to square one again. I love that the X-T3 has a ISO dial and it feels better in my hands because of the bigger size. I do like the compact size of the two though. Even though the XE3 is as small as the X-T30 it somehow feels more natural because of the rangefinder design, whereas the X-T30 feels like a miniature X-T3.

When looking at reviews of the cameras it seems like the X-T30 is more advanced than the XE3 since its a newer camera so my question is, is there any advantage to the XE3 other than if you have a preference for the rangefinder design?

I have no doubt that I would love having any of them though. :-)

Another option is to consider possibly the previous generation of the x series which you could probably get at a good price and save more for a lens. 

Honestly, if you're planning to do video, then looking at the current gen cameras is quite tempting, but typically for photos, you can produce amazing photos with any of the previous gen x series.  There aren't any real duds in the Fuji lineup.

I'm still happy with the photos that I get with my xt1 and use it much more often even though I have an xt2.  Same with my x100.  Depends on what you are looking for I guess.

      X-T4 accept external timecode?

      By Chas · Posted

      The Tentacle Sync Timecode tool is the one I tried. I couldn't get it to work. But that is probably my fault, not the software. I seemed to get a file, but I couldn't turn it into anything meaningful.

      GFX 100s not connecting to Mac via USB-C

      I am glad to read you are able to get this up and running. Pretty much as long as you connect the camera and turn it on and wait a few moments for the computer to register the connection, you can then use Image Capture (which actually is a very decent program with a lot of options for transferring images from cameras to the computer) or Lightroom or other programs to move the images to your library. There are some drawbacks; connecting to the computer while it is in sleep mode will waste your time, the connection will not get recognized— you will have to unplug the camera, wake the computer and start over. Trying to connect while the screen saver is running may work, it may not, often not. If the computer goes into screen saver mode while the camera is connected and sitting idle, it usually stays connected when coming back out of screen saver, but if the computer mputer goes into sleep mode, the connection gets dropped and you have to unplug it and start over. I suggested having the camera turned off while connecting, this is to lower the possibility of static electricity discharges frying either the camera or the computer or both. A lot of times you can connect while the camera is turned on, but not always, sometimes you have to unplug, turn it off, reconnect and turn it back on. A lot of this comes from Apple’s approaches towards keeping USB devices from hijacking your computer, some is just hubris and some is from the vagaries of chance. p.s. Your laptop should be able to connect to the camera.

      Hi Chas, I am just fallen into the rabbit hole of investigating how to upgrade my X-T4's video sound... Loving the idea of time code sync, I am now quite concerned that the X-T4 doesn't support it, although I have already seen different statements on the net, like here:  https://youtu.be/xja27RmvbhE?si=hIch3Tu_MH_pWSBH&t=571 I have to admit, this guy's "explanation" gets quite confusing in his further discourse ...:) BUT, as you wrote that you use Tentacle Sync for Windows!, did you also try with their windows-only software "Time Code Tool" which you find here?: https://tentaclesync.com/timecode-tool   Would love to here if you found a workaround with the XT4 Best, Simon
