Kolari Vision sent us their Fujifilm X-T3 tear down and it gives some insight into how well the Fujifilm X-T3 is built. The Fujifilm X-T3 is very well laid out inside unlike camera’s like the Sony a7RIII that has dual card slots on the board that “look like they’re at risk of falling off the edge.” Fujifilm has also done a good job with their weather sealing, but Korlari doesn’t recommend you take it to the Amazon.
Overall the Fujifilm X-T3 is very well designed inside and even though manufacturing moved from Japan to China it looks like the X-T3 hasn’t suffered any loss of quality over previous cameras like the Fujifilm X-T2. Kolari also removed the IR block form the X-T3 while they had it disassembled and I can’t wait to see how their full spectrum mod works.
IR Photography can be a lot of fun with Fujifilm cameras since they all have some level of IR sensitivity even with the IR block inside. I tested the Fujifilm X-Pro2 for IR sensitivity when it launched and I will test the X-T3 soon, but cut filter IR photography is a little different than full spectrum so I can’t wait to see Korlari’s results. If you want to see their full tear down it’s available here, but their site also has a lot of cool projects to check out while you are there.
