In short

The X-T3 runs X-Trans IV recipes, like Classic Negative and Eterna, but lacks Clarity, Grain Size, and Colour Chrome FX Blue.

Why it's the recipe body

The Fujifilm X-T3, with its 26.1 MP X-Trans IV sensor, marked a new era in film-simulation flexibility. It's a robust, DSLR-style camera with weather sealing, making it ideal for diverse shooting conditions. Handling the X-T3 feels intuitive, thanks to its ergonomic design and straightforward controls. The X-Processor 4 ensures quick response, while the dual UHS-II slots offer reliable storage. This camera is a joy for those who cherish the tactile feedback of traditional dials alongside cutting-edge digital performance. With its ability to shoot 4K video up to 60p, the X-T3 is versatile for both stills and motion, providing photographers with a powerful tool to capture their vision.

The X-T3 can utilise X-Trans IV recipes, including favourites like Classic Negative and Eterna. However, as an early X-Trans IV model, it lacks Clarity, Grain Size, and Colour Chrome FX Blue. Additionally, white balance shifts cannot be saved per custom slot, which needs consideration when setting up your recipes. Despite these limitations, the X-T3's recipe flexibility offers creative opportunities that are well-suited for photographers exploring Fujifilm's distinctive film simulations.

The X-T3 ushered in the X-Trans IV era with its advanced video capabilities.

The X-T3 differs from the X-T4 by lacking IBIS and certain sensor features.
