DSLR user Daphne Wuenn put the Fujifilm X-T3 digital mirrorless camera to the test along the south coast to see how it compared to her current set-up... Make the switch

I remember vividly when I grew up in the 80s that I almost always carried a camera with me. Once I was even allowed my dad’s film SLR camera, so I ventured out into our garden and took some close-up photos of flowers. I was impressed by the feel of the camera and the quality of the photos, but it wasn’t until 30 years later, after I had moved to the UK, that I invested in a DSLR – a Canon EOS 600D with an APS-C sensor – for documenting my everyday life.

I live inBournemouth on the south coast of England. Down here, we’ve got an impressive coastline and beautiful countryside on our doorstep, so I upgraded to the full-frame Canon EOS 6D in 2016 with a Canon EF 24- 105mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens. This was my starting point to get into the broad subject of nature photography and my collection has been growing ever since. The fact that I shoot both landscapes and wildlife means that on a normal trip out, I

carry two camera bodies: the aforementioned EOS 6D with the 24-105mm, and an EOS 80D with the Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM C lens.

Mirrorless cameras have been on the market for more than ten years now, but only recently have they become interesting to
