• First Shooting Impress...
Introducing the new Fujifilm X-Pro3. What's new? The biggest features are physical changes to the body: titanium top and bottom plate, unique rear flip-down hidden articulating screen and rear e-ink sub-monitor. The new X-Pro shares the same sensor and processor as the X-T3 but the firmware has been tweaked with better AF, more in-camera adjustments, new film profile, and other new features. The HVF (Hybrid Viewfinder) is also a huge improvement from the previous version, but again, this does not affect the actual image quality. This is my in-depth overview of all the changes, new features and differences between the other X Series cameras, including the previous flagship X-Pro2. Look for my first shooting impressions video with sample images. Also check out my written review for FujiLove Magazine: fujilove.com/f...

#XPro3 #FujifilmXPro3 #Fujifilm
I thought you did an freaking awesome job of covering a massive amount of info and features in an informal and relaxed manner. You clearly know your 'stuff'! Thank you
David Yeiter thanks for watching! More videos to come
For those whining about not being able to compose an overhead shot using the flip-out screen, simply flip the camera upside down. As always, a great comprehensive review!
Sometimes you can take the "retro" theme to unpractical levels. Unfortunately I think Fuji has fallen victim to this. I just don't see it working for most shooters at all. As they say if it ain't broke....
Daniel Haug just “turning the camera upside down” is hardly practical 🙄🙄🙄
There are plenty other cameras. If you don't like the screen concept, buy an XT3/4 or XPro2. Easy.
Add vintage lenses on these and it’s one of their most beautiful cameras.
Corb not vintage but when I shoot digital I use a voigtlander 35 Ultron on my xpro2 with white focus peaking 👌🏽
What an awesome overview of the camera, enjoy every minute of the presentation thank you so much.
Comes December my biggest decision will be which colour to choose. Love everything about this camera and appreciate that this series still made in Japan.
...I ordered mine in Dura-Coat black...
4:23 holding up two middle fingers when mentioning arch-rival Leica, now that’s what I call a die-hard Fuji fan 😉
Willi Kampmann hahaha
he uses Leica
Great presentation & review, Take! Love the X-Pro3 - still waiting for it;-) Thx4 uploading👍🏻
BAND-SHOOTING.de thanks for watching and commenting!!
bigheadtaco thx 4 your passionate reviews. Really enjoying your passion for photography👍🏻👋🏻 Greetings & cheers from Bremen, Germany, Harry 🌊⚓️
the only review I wanted to see
Thanks for the in-depth review. The length makes it feel like a proper review.
Thanks. I know many are looking for a quick superficial 8 min review, but that’s more of a overview. I have a third video I’m preparing where I go through the menu, and finally in a month or so I’ll be reviewing a production copy and give my final review. I say over 100 hours for me to properly review a camera
I really appreciate your offering both a shooting impressions video and this more detailed video. There are tons of first-look reviews this morning, and I think yours is right at the top in terms of detailed review combined with actual shooting impressions. Great job! I remember the film box cover slot very well (especially useful when using multiple bodies) and I also recall Nikon having made a Ti version of the F3.
2 years later and I'm still learning tons about this thing
My backpacking pots and sporks, and my tent stakes are all titanum. Perhaps I should add this to my titanium collection.
Slow and long clap for this amazing video, I've watched many and thought I knew enough and I learned a ton here! Cheers
No ibis WHY
I'm planning to get one of these but mine will be in black since it's less conspicuous.
I kinda feel my X-H1 beats them all, with the fantastic grip, IBIS, dials and flippy screen. It´s only the faster AF on X-T3/30/Pro3 that beats it, otherwise the X-H1 is superior.
Terje Madsen Yes, from a feature perspective, the X-H1 ‘beats’ the X-Pro3. But like my illustration of a car manufacturer, an SUV will out-feature a sedan or sport car version of the same platform. However, people have different needs. I know many Fujifilm shooter will absolutely not buy the X-H1 because it’s too big and heavy and more than what they need. If the X-H1 (SUV) is the right camera for you, that’s great. However, it might not be for others.
But nobody wants a X-H1, X-Pro3 is super sexy and attractive.
@@bigheadtaco id never buy xh1 or xh2 even lol
Most sexy digital camera ever made. Imagine a full frame version of this baby !
KeithCanisius it’s called a Leica M and you already want one
Call me crazy but I would much prefer this camera with no LCD screen at all like the Leica MD (but keeping the new little screen on the back) and with a straight L shape angle on its right side like the X100f. I love my XPro2 but this design going lower towards the right is something that really bothers me a lot.
Other than that, no need to change this camera design anymore.
Correct me if I’m wrong but I feel that Fuji is attempting to touch a niche market (and I think they should) however, they are doing it in a subtle, shy and almost afraid way. I believe they would be much more innovative if they make the changes I suggest in my previous comment. I also think the customers would appreciate even more the X-Pro3. Just keep the production and the price of the X-Pro2 for those who really need or want the LCD and offer a new and really innovative, challenging, desired and special X-Pro 3 for the, let’s say, different level photographers. The way they are doing now will scare the average photographers and make the more experienced ones escheptical .
If this camera had an LCD similar to that of the x100v it would be perfect for me. Too bad they don't produce the xpro3 with LCD options.
I think a fair amount of the shutter sound difference might come down to having the body cap on the xpro3 vs the lens on the xpro2
Long and nerdy videos FTW every single time!!!
Thanks. I know a small group of people want more than a 8min overview...
As a correction, Fuji isn't making it a titanium color it's a body made from titanium, big difference.
Yes.
The front command dial from what I know is now non-clickable. That said are you able to select ISO with it (or with the rear command dial) if you don't wanna use the twisting ISO dial on the top plate?
Keep in mind that the EVF eyepiece is actually a hard rubber. Mine is wearing off on one side from the camera rubbing on my side. I wear my strap crossbody. Just be conscious of that
Selling that old obsolete Graphite one????
Beautiful camera
Hi, do you think Classic Neg will be available on X-t30 and X-t3?
Are the smudges are to clean? Seems like he build up is quick and heavy.
If you study the xpro3, you will realize that it was designed for the f2 series of lenses. With that, you also realize that Fuji is going to release new versions of the 1.4 and 1.2 lenses. I'm hoping they're going to arrive soon - maybe 2021?
i really hope they put some of the body finishing and structural design elements into the X-T4 and future cameras. I know it might seem really minor, but it looks likes the tripod mount on the X-Pro3 bottom plate is a lot more sturdy than my X-T2. Based on the screw spacing, they may have made the plate that connects the tripod mount to the base wider so the screws are less likely to come loose due to torque.
Can someone make a FF digital rangefinder like this that doesn’t cost an arm n leg? I like to shoot vintage manual lenses but hard to find small and fast 35mm focal length equivalent lenses. I also find it hard to justify the $2000 for the sensor size on this.
Put a sticker with a QR code to your website there so when you chat with people, they can scan it and go to your website!
fantastic review. I'm gonna get one Thanks
Take, would you say the color is similar to other silver Fuji cameras (X-T3 or others) or is the color more like champagne? Really hard to tell for sure.
what finishes look the best? still dont know what finish to get
Even the black one looks pretty. I'm on the same boat, wanted the dura black because on the fuji website the silver looks kind of gold-ish but her it looks so awesome too. So, now I'm not sure which one to get.
Should I upgrade from Sony a72 to this?
This is interesting. As an XT3 user who is considering a switch to the XPRO 3 (after falling in love with my X100V), this gives me even more reason to think on the XPRO. Is the EVF on the XPRO even brighter than the XT3?
Came back to this as there is an X-Pro3 in DS on sale here locally for CHF 1k (same USD), tempted tbh. Still shoot the X-Pro1, like it a lot. Do use the OVF often and do switch off the rear screen as well. So the X-Pro3 would suite me fine.
Decisions......🥴
Take what soft release button do you have on the x pro 3 at the end?
To be honest I don’t know, I just borrowed it from Tarry G from Revolver.... you can find him on Instagram and ask him. I think he might not even know I took it ;-)
By any chance, did you see the new grip (MHG-XPRO3)? Is it compatible with Arca Swiss QR-heads?
Joe Migeaux I haven’t seen the grip yet. I’ll be in Toronto in 2 weeks. I might be able to see it then.
Which soft shutter release do you have? It is bigger than the common ones out there. It looks good.
Hi Take, thanks for all your great videos. I'm thinking of treating myself something and are thinking of buying a Leica Q (not Q2) or maybe a X-Pro3. I'm already in the Fujifilm ecosystem with the X-E3 and have also some nice lenses. I feel the Leica Q would be bigger joy than another Fuji camera with spec upgrades. How would you decide if money is not an issue (since both cameras are quite expensive and I don't need either of them)?
If you want something different, then the Leica Q sounds like a great 'different' camera. It's a leaf shutter lens camera, much like the X100 series, so you can do some pretty cool things with it that you can't do with a camera with a regular focal plane shutter. As long as you enjoy the 28mm lens I think you're good. The Leica Q is a great camera.
bigheadtaco thanks for your response. Owning the X70 I think 28mm is great for a fixed lense system because it’s wide enough for landscape and architecture and also suitable for street. I’m leaning towards the Q because of the handling and expected Image quality and look. So again thanks for your answer and cheers from Switzerland. (By the way if you would do a video about your wrist watches once (maybe for Christmas) that would be very much appreciated. Many camera lovers are also watch lovers.)
Q arrived :)
@@lamaludwig1470 a year later how do you like it.
@@rumporridge1 The Q is a fantastic camera, bought it with a 4 digit discount, still 2 times a Nikon D750. Anyway I'm enjoying it very much, lens is awesome. handling is great. very happy with it. Downsides? Maybe wake up speed and AF speed.
Great review. Thank you
Did they replace silver with dura silver? jw =[
would it be better for serious photographer to just get the TX3, ie, dont care for style?
GOOD REVIEW AND VERY VERY GOOD EXPLANATION !
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Handsome camera 😍
oliver page I think that’s the point with this camera, it tugs at your heart and appeals to the eyes. However, it is a very capable camera with some ergonomic quirks....
Question about TIFF. Were you saying that all the “jpeg” settings would be retained once imported into Lightroom?
if you choose to save to TIFF instead of JPEG, it's similar to JPEG in that all the options are now baked into the image, but you'll have extra latitude with colour and exposure
I'm curious about the photos that will come out of that camera, but I can say immedately that the design is pretty awesome, I love the display on the back that simulates the paper coming from the film box.
I’m also curious that at a $200 premium Fuji couldn’t include a matching hot shoe cover. I actually use the coveres and it’s called “hot” for a reason. I’m sure there’s room in that $200 for a $2 cover.
I know, crab, crab. Since I’m on a roll, also heard the finger print thing is a real issue on the dura-coat. How weird is that?
Looking forward to trading in my X100F and T2 and getting one but will go with standard black and maybe wait to see if they drop the price in 6 months after getting burned on my H1.
With my pre-production copy, it looked like the cover was plastic. It would have been cool not only to include a titanium shoe cover, but a titanium soft shutter release.....
bigheadtaco On my “silver” X2 which was extra the hot shoe cover wasn’t even close. A minor thing but speaks to attention to detail.
Don't you love it the camera isn't available yet, however the internet is covered with reviews already? Here is a novel idea buy one and actually use it for one month with a standard lens, then come back and review it.
As a reviewer I get an early pre-production copy. Once it’s released I will check out the production copy. A real reviewer will re-review once it’s released. A UA-cam influencer will only review it once and only superficially to get the views, but they don’t really care about the camera because they’re already preparing for the next pre-production review. It’s a different way of reviewing than what I do, but as a viewer you have to decide who to listen to. The advantage of having a ‘reviewer’ look at a camera is that we have experience shooting with a very wide range of gear and can pick out details that a regular consumer often will miss. The disadvantage is, as you mention, we may only have it for a week or sometimes even days. Again, that’s why I re-test with a production copy.
1,799 USD for X-pro3 black is official price??
HaYoung Jang Yes, but each country and each retailer can decide to sell at a different price.
Hello from Korea, sir bigheadtaco =]
Every X-Pro 3 review video I watch on UA-cam it mentions that the DURA versions are prone to dirt and oil from handling. Are the dirt/oil really noticeable? I really want to get the DURA SILVER body, but I want to know if the fingerprints are going to be really noticeable on the camera.
if you're worried, get the standard black finish.
@@bigheadtaco Very wise. I'll get the DURA silver. I love you bigheadtaco!
I like the shutter sound of the S5 Pro. It is not muffeled, it wakes everyone up in church.
oliver Lison ha ha. Nice. The Leica M240 also has a very obnoxious shutter sound. Going to film, have you heard the Pentax 67 shutter? Very manly...
@@bigheadtaco No, I am not familiar with the Pentax 67 shutter sound but I can imagine a fat clunky sound. I also have a Nikon f3 that I am still using today which has a solid sound too.
I remember some shutters, for instance D7100, that have quite mode. But because how the quiet mode works (some sort of elliptical motion), it has become difficult taking pictures at slow hand-heldable shutter speeds without camera shake. Of course the D7100 has a flipping mirror which the Fuji cameras do not have...
Have you made any negative experiences with quiet modes on mirrorless? I am not into mirrorless yet and for me is only a FF on option. So I want need to wait for Nikon's next generation.
Btw, do you know that there are not many shutter manufactureres. Maybe only two in Japan and that's basically it.? This is what I have heard.
S5 Pro, best 6 mp ever made. Great color rendition, auto white balance and unmatched highlights.
Great overview, Take. I find this camera body so beautiful that it would be tempting to buy just for that. Fortunately for my bank account, the rear LCD is just a deal killer. I wonder why Fuji didn't remove the tripod mount at the same time because who wants to look through an EVF when working off a tripod-not that this is the only problem with the design. That said, I hope this body is a huge success for Fuji. I'd love to see the titanium construction and Duratech finishes become available on the next X-H and X-T bodies as well.
What about the diopter? Did they change it?
Yes it’s more set in and harder to knock out of position.
Love the video! Got one on the way. What brand is that braided camera strap? Where can I get one?
why would they use that flimsy door for the USB-C area???? it's those little things that make me want to not buy this camera. I don't mind the extra thickness, I don't mind the flippy screen. etc. but just like general quality stuff like that.
When the door is closed, it’s fine. It’s only when you open it, ya it feels flimsy, but obviously strong enough to maintain weather-sealing.
Glad that this has a OVF. EVF gives me massive headaches forces me to use live view.
@DG 1 I too am a hobbyist and the effects starts to happen after an hour or two of use. I wonder if professionals suffer from the same problem.
Man, that camera with duratec coating looks so beautiful, but the finger prints man...the finger prints!!! 😫
I know it will drive some people crazy. However, I’m use to patina on my film cameras, as well as brassing, so it’s no big deal for me.
I hate that it's not the right camera for my job but I would love to use it for personal works.
Gonna wait to see what x100V will look like...
I think if they implement the LCD and HVF from the X-Pro3 into the X100 series, new lens, WR, it’ll be a killer compact camera.
@@bigheadtaco New sensor, EVF, lens and WR would definitely make me lean towards x100V rather than xpro3. Although having ability to change lenses is a great option to have..
bigheadtaco WR must happen or Zack Arias will walk.
I'm waiting on it too. I seriously hope that it's WR. I'd rather have a separate camera than buy the 23mm lenses.
It looks amazing! The things I hoped for came true like a bigger EVF, but I was also hoping the pricing would be more like the X-T3 when it was released lower than the X-T2. The Titanium was not necessary and put the price in a higher than necessary level.
Because it’s still built in Japan, I don’t know if the titanium itself was the single reason why it’s more expensive. Remember the X-T3 is now assembled in China, which helps keep the price down. The target market for the X-Pro3 is probably someone who’s a bit older, has money, perhaps an existing Leica shooter or a film shooter.
Provia400F it’s obvious the X-Pro3 is not for you. Move on.
I really wish there was a regular silver version,because the dura silver doesn’t match the silver lenses
LOL. How many cameras have you actually got Take! Lol. Nice intro the new beast and thanks for sharing your thoughts mate. G
They are loaners.
Maurizio Mauricone no u
Wow, x-pro3 and a cle... what more do you need? Great review!
Like selling a car. At this trim level may as well buy a gfx50
Where did YOU GET THE BEAUTIFUL DESIGN STRAP AGAIN ? 👍👍👍💖
Put on the 18mm f2 and look how they screwed up the OVF.
Care to explain to me a little bit more, i had never used xpro2 so quite confused wht did they do?
wanakmalarief WAN ABD RAHMAN I think he is referencing how they removed the dual magnification OVF that the X-Pro1 and X-Pro2 had. For wider lenses like the 18mm, it would turn into a 0.36x OVF to fill whole view with 18mm frame lines. Then for lenses like the 35mm, it would insert a magnifying lens to change the OVF to 0.64x. Again to fill OVF with framelines for 35mm lens. The X-Pro3 has like a 0.52x magnification. So it doesn’t cover the 18mm framelines or they will be very far out at edge and hard to see. Similarly with a 35mm lens the framelines will be small and in the center. I’m sure this compromise of the OVF was necessary to cut costs and work with better EVF.
Anyone else notice that the high refresh rate on the EVF only works if you have the shutter button down? I have BOOST on. That doesn't happen on either my H1 or T2. Did I just get a bad one? If not, KEEP YOUR PRO2. Not cool.
Great review man! I would just like to ask about your xpro3. I recently got it and I noticed that sometimes, even if im in single frame mode, when I take a series of photos where I continuous click the shutter button(esp. the last click where my finger stays pressed on the shutter button), some of the clicks give me multiple photos instead of just one making it seem that I get random burst around 2-4 shots from one click. But sometimes it’s kinda random. Not sure if I got a faulty copy or the shutter is just too sensitive or if I missed something on the menu. I made sure I have same settings with my xt4 and this issue doesnt exist on my xt4. I’m really worried now cos I sold a bunch of my gear just to fund the dura black and your reviews made me go for it. Hope you can help me somehow. Thanks.
You are the most underrated reviewer. Great review !!!
The EVF doesn't make way for the OVF. Nothing moves, except for the big and small curtain.
What you wrote sounds contradicting.
I’m 17 and I’m definitely dropping all of my $2000 saved for this camera.
Gabe Meyer literally go and spent 700$ on a used xpro2 on eBay. You’ll be so further ahead. IQ is about that same
Save for school... Maybe..
Gabe, Save your money. Don't fall for marketing hogwash. X-T3 better.
Save $ n for lens
Did u drop it all?
I’m getting a little tired of everyone being Dura versions of these cameras get fingerprints all over them. I have the Dura Silver finish and I never get fingerprints on mine. Maybe the rest of you guys need to wash your hands.
the black one does get blotchy but I also don't really care. Silver is less so.
I cant decide if i want the dura silver or black :(
photomorti the silver looks yellowish. The dura black one looks so nice with fingerprints on
Can you turn the small rear LCD off completely?
tenaciousK no you can’t turn it off.
Oh man i wish they had that option. It would be even better! :)
Sticker or gaffer tape?
tenaciousK why would turning it off be better? Just don’t look at it.
Rediscover Film it’s not really about having it on/off actually. I like the idea of having the camera look as analog as possible. The average person in the street may think you have a film camera. I would rather have no screen at all, just a flat empty back. The small screen and the word “delete” gave it away. I have my Xpro2 rear screen off all the time. The only time I need it on is when I am working with a client (when they ask to see the shots I made). Which is why the Xpro3 idea of the “hidden” LCD, is the closest to what I have hoped for. Olympus did something like this in their PEN line sometime ago, which I thought was pretty cool.
If Fuji is into color I wonder why they can’t or won’t match the Fuji-cron silver lenses with any of their camera bodies. I bought a T3 in “silver” along with a “silver” 35mm f2 lens. Should look really cool, right? Not. Compared to the lens the T3 body looks a blueish zinc color, but definitely does not match. I find that really strange they’d make silver lenses and not bother making a camera body that matches. On another review they are calling the new Pro3 as not really silver. No telling what that means but I’ve given up assuming it will match my silver lens.
The silver lenses match the X-T20 better. But you’re right, the materials and the mixture of the metals are different. The X-T3 has a magnesium alloy top, but the lens material is different. Matching these various types of metals are difficult since the base metals are different. They did a great job on the X-Pro2 Graphite and matching lens, but that was a one-off only.
bigheadtaco Are you sure? I thought the bodies and lenses are all painted. It’s not raw metal...I think. Olympus matches. Of course Leica. I had a Contax G1 with 3 Zeiss prime and flash. All perfectly matched champaign. You have more cameras than anyone, I’m sure you’ve noticed other manufacturers match all the stuff up.
Thanks for the reply. Love your reviews! Being a little hardware crazy is not a bad thing. I think I’d still buy cameras to collect if I never used them at all. I just love well made precision things.
handsomeness added 95%
I would prefer natural Ti finish. You can polish out scratches.
Jan Virtanen yes because we all need a mint camera 24/7 🙄
The eye cup came off my x pro 2 so it's good that they fixed that but other than that what have fuji done to it? Don't like it. Sorry fuji.
Great walk through. Like holding the camera myself. Thanks.
Take, you try so hard to excuse Fujifilm for their screen choice!?
Man, there is no need for that. Fujifilm has X-T3 for digital photographers. This camera is not for them. THIS CAMERA IS NOT FOR THEM. So, no need for them to buy it and trying hard to convince Fujifilm to change the way the screen works because that is just stupid. You hear me guys? N O T F O R Y O U! Go get an X-T3. Capisci?
Disclaimer. I am also film shooter and I think this camera is finally something that define Fujifilm better. Is something that I like very much.
Does he? The screen choice and its limitations are pretty self-evident. Anybody in the market for a camera of this type knows what they are getting... As you said, an X-T3 will probably suit most users better than this camera. In what way was Take being misleading? It seems to me to be a pointless complaint... Fujifilm is giving you options. This is a niche product, hence the price premium and added complication of the hybrid viewfinder.
@@awdrpepper I added a disclaimer as I see my reply can be interpreted in more ways...
Smartest statement yet should add it's just a tool, but then we're talking to a huge audience of people with no talent whatsoever, so it doesn't make any difference.
Does it have the silence 🔇 leaf shutter of the 100f?
Alexander Thomas no leaf shutter. But it does have a silent electronic shutter mode available
No the leaf shutter is built into the lens, not the body, and since this is an interchangeable lens camera, the lens has to be built into the body. Saying that, Fujifilm can make an interchangeable leaf shutter lens, but it’s just a dream
Did Fuji tell people not to talk about the autofocus?
No, but we did have pre-production. The AF is the same as the X-T3 and in low light it’s actually faster and more accurate. Currently the AF is the fastest on any Fujifilm body.
I can't tell you how long I've been waiting for the option of paying $200 so I can scrape car keys across my camera as I've seen done on some UA-cam reviews. One person even used an old can opener. My advise...save the $200 and JUST DON'T DO THAT! I would have paid for the silver version had Fuji made any attempt at all matching the f2 "fujicron" silver lenses, but I knew that wasn't going to happen any more than loosing the dopy dip on the dial deck. I'll probably get a nice ordinary black one anyway and keep it far away from any key wielding maniacs roaming the street.
The shutter is mushi mushi
I'm a little disappointed that Fuji has gone for TIFF output for in-camera presets. I think that a modern compressed format like JPEG 2000 is the way to go. Smaller files, yet with fine detail and lots of colour depth. Why are still shooting TIFF, RAW or JPEG? All should be replaced by now! I advocate for two related things: getting it right in camera, therefore making RAW processors redundant; and replacing RAW with JPEG 2000 (or something else). Fuji got the first part right, now they can work on the second. Do you think that JPEG2K could be added as a firmware update?
I have to say that the Instax camera here looks really, really sharp.
Looks like a digital Contax G1...
True. Someone thought it was a G1 when I had it with me
damnn the silver looks so sexy
For someone who wear glasses, it's better than the 2 ? No rubber and looks very small...
Yoann Panda as xpro2 shooter, I don’t have an issue for wearing glasses at all
@@iconictools2059 Lucky you, but for me, it was a no go for many years, despite the fact that I loved the camera. And yes, I tried it many times, but not comfortable for me...
I think remembering the 3 having a higher eyepoint compared to the 2 but I would like to know this as well.
I like the video, but why do you go over the same things again. Twice you demonstrated the shutter sound. Why? Once is enough. Stop waffling. You are very articulate, don’t pad out your videos. Spend more time planning
Still happy with my xpro2 only jealous of the new film simulations
I’ve had MANY Fuji cameras from my first X-E1. I currently have a Pro3, T4 and V. When is Fuji going to come out with a firmware update to correct the issue so we can see the custom film profile names in the Q menu? They’re apparently backing off on firmware updates and they’re no going to change unless people complain. I gave my T3 to my son. Same sensor and processor as the Pro-3 and T4. WHERE’S THE FIRMWARE UPGRADE???
$200 premium on an already expensive body for the special Pro3 so we can now sharpen knives on them but no matching hot shoe cover? Come on guys, let them know this is bush league.
You can put some cash in that flippy slot, as a wallet....
dante dev 😂😂😂👌
I wonder, would Leica users appreciate these type of dramatic changes in design they get used to?? Weird display and lack of d-pad nobody hasn't asked Fuji for?! I insist the man who has decided to remove d-pad in XE and XPRO is enemy of the system, period.
Hope they release a model with a better LCD.
when you say better, do you mean higher resolution? The X-Pro3 has a 3" 1.62 million dot LCD, better than most.
I would use the OVF. EVFs suck!!!!!!!!!!
This EVF is really nice, depending on what you’re shooting and with which lens. But yes its great to have the option.
Nevermind touching cameras for clicks son. You want to make serious cash with your camera? I have an island and need a videographer to film celebrities. You in?
I don't touch cameras for clicks. I do it because I love it. Keep your island. Thanks.
Who else thinks the deign is beautiful apart from that small screen at the back looks ugly?
The best definition of why people buy a "Sony" camera I have heard in a very long time "....I don't care what my butcher knife looks like...."....hit the spot.
