Fujifilm X-T3

The X-T3 disappeared from the catalog in 2021, making it the best APS-C deal on the used market. We tell you what it's like to shoot with it in 2026.

Why the X-T3 is still selling in 2026

When Fuji released the X-T4 in 2020, many predicted the X-T3 would vanish from the used market. Six years later, we sell more X-T3s than X-T4s. The reason: the price gap doesn’t justify the performance gap for those who shoot mostly photos.

What the X-Trans 4 sensor brings

26MP, low luminance resolution to avoid moiré, and that Fuji signature that makes every X camera feel like a mini Leica. The Eterna and Classic Chrome film simulations, when applied well, turn JPEG files into something publishable straight out of camera.

What we’ve seen in the workshop

100+ units inspected:

1. Top dials: the X-T3’s weak point. We’ve seen a few units with a wobbly shutter speed dial, especially among street photographers (heavy use of that dial). Fuji repair: €130-160.
2. LCD screen: mandatory cleaning on units used outdoors. Dust under the touch layer.
3. Body: the weather sealing holds up. We’ve seen X-T3s that have been with wedding photographers for three years and still work.

X-T3 or X-T4?

The X-T4 adds 6.5-stop IBIS and a vari-angle screen. On the used market, it costs €400-500 more.

• X-T3 if you mainly shoot photos and use shutter speeds ≥ 1/60.
• X-T4 if you shoot video frequently or need IBIS for telephoto lenses.

Verdict

The X-T3 ages like fine wine. For €700 you get a sensor used in €2,000 cameras and a body built to last. If you’re entering the Fuji system, this is the entry point with the best value for money.
