Welcome to the 726th DPReview newsletter

The dust had barely settled on the launch of Canon's new EOS R when Fujifilm pulled the wraps off the X-T3 - perhaps the most impressive X-series model we've seen yet. We've been shooting with one for a few days, and you can find our first impressions (and sample images) linked below. 

Lest we forget, it's Photokina in a couple of weeks, too. Keep an eye on our homepage for (even) more new products. This year is getting busy!
