Fujifilm X-Pro3 APS-C Mirrorless Camera Body - Dura Black
The FUJIFILM X-Pro3 is a unique mirrorless camera characterized by its distinct viewfinder design, a hidden LCD screen, and its stylish, rangefinder-inspired design with a black finish. In terms of imaging, the X-Pro3 features the APS-C-format 26.1MP X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor along with the X-Processor 4, which enables high-resolution stills shooting and DCI/UHD 4K video recording. The sensor and processor also enable an ISO 160-12800 sensitivity range for working in a variety of lighting conditions. Besides its imaging capabilities, the X-Pro3's strengths lie in its sophisticated design, which includes the Hybrid Multi Viewfinder that combines both an optical viewfinder and a 3.69m-dot OLED electronic viewfinder. These two viewing means can be instantly switched with the dedicated lever on the front of the camera and let you choose between the simplicity and speed of an OVF versus the accuracy and versatility of an EVF. The X-Pro3 also sees an updated rear LCD design, with a hidden 180° tilting touchscreen that has a 1.62m-dot resolution. The unique fold-down screen design keeps the larger 3.0" screen hidden against the body when not in use and a secondary smaller settings display is available while shooting. This design enables a simpler, more streamlined and unencumbered shooting method that helps to keep you in the moment. Additionally, the X-Pro3 also sports built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for wireless sharing and remote control and dual SD memory card slots are featured for file saving flexibility.

The first time I used a camera was my Dad's 35mm Voigtlander Vito B and the X-Pro 3 immediately reminded me of looking through the optical viewfinder for the first time to take a picture. After 20 years of upgrading through various digital compact cameras, I have finally found something that looks and feels like a high quality film camera and delivers beautiful JPEG results. If you have grown up using a screen to take a picture on digital cameras, then you might not like the X-Pro 3 design with its hidden screen. Don't worry, there are others in the Fuji range that offer the same technology in a different skin.

I love it and find myself concentrating more on the subject, rather than checking the images.You will need a lens to go with this and the 23mm F2 is a 'must have' and ideally suited to the optical viewfinder scale, so start with this one. But if you only plan to buy one lens, then maybe consider the X100v, which is less expensive and includes on-camera flash.The X-Pro 3 is an amazing camera with very sophisticated capabilities, yet still accessible to a novice like me. It is such a pleasure to take pictures that I have taken more and better pictures than ever before. This feels like a camera my children will inherit, a bit like my Dad's Vito B.

Following a decade of relying on my mobile phone for capturing all my memories, storytelling and documenting adventures, I wanted to upgrade to a real camera that would give me better resolution of control. In particular I wanted better results at medium to telephoto focal lengths. I found a good deal on a Sony RX100 with a 28-100mm f2.8 zoom lens and definitely noticed a bump in image quality. As good as it was, I was not inspired to carry it with me all the time, and so I fell back to my phone for most of my shots. I sold the RX100 and purchased an a6000 with the 16-50 zoom lens. This did the trick and soon I was purchasing prime lenses and accessories and carrying it all the time. And while the photos were superb, there were times it was clearly a digital ...

It didn't take long until the a6000 was back on Craigslist so I could invest in a Fuji with interchangeable lenses. I found an X-E4 and started investing in glass. While I loved the size and mostly was fine with the minimalist design and lack of buttons, I was often afraid to carry it as I do most of my shooting outdoors in all kinds of weather and was afraid of getting it wet or doused in dirt or mud. Enter the X-Pro3.It's the perfect combination of quality, compactness and professional features. And it's a joy to look at. With it's gnarled dials, classic lines and rangefinder design, it's an amazingly handsome piece of kit. I have the Durasilver, which for better or worse is a conversation starter.I have the 18mm f2, 35mm f2 and 50mm f2—but it's the 27mm f2.8 pancake lens that's usually on the camera. I shoot in jpg and RAW, but mostly share the jpgs captured with one of Fuji's excellent film simulations. Across with a green or red filter, along with Classic Neg and Pro Neg Hi are my current goto's.Much has been debated about it, but I personally love the LCD configuration. I rarely use the LCD to frame my shots and the only time I desire a tilt screen is when I'm shooting from the hip. And I love the little film box end on the back, nice touch.Time will tell, but I'm feeling this one will be the camera I keep for many years and hand down to my kid someday.

I have to admit. When I first heard about the design of this camera, I was quite upset. Specifically with the LCD fold down screen design.

What an absolutely amazing camera!Ergonomics and DesignSharing a similar design to the X-Pro2, there were a few key differences, to note, besides the LCD screen design. The titanium exterior provides a nice solid exterior feel to the camera, with a level of assurance, that it will last. I opted for the all black version as I didn't like the Dura coat versions which seemed to be pure finger print magnets. I think some like that weathered look, but to me it looked more like a dirty grimy look, so I enjoyed the all black painted version as it offered a nice sleek design. I have been eying the silver version as a possible second body though as it seems less prone to finger printing, but for now, I like what I got!I have to admit that I did not like the fact that the D-Pad was removed in this version, but after fully customizing the other function buttons, I feel like I got a system down where I have everything I need through either function buttons, or less used functions mapped to LCD gesture swipes.Weight and grip are nice, and when used with primes (especially the F2 version) they balance the body perfectly!The controversial LCD fold down design was a real sticking point for me, and the first week I couldn't wait to get rid of the camera. It was that off putting, however when I stopped comparing it to other digital cameras I owned, and just adjusted to shooting without and outward facing screen, something clicked. I was able to get by with the EVF and occasionally folding down the screen when needed. i never reviewed imaged that much on the LCD, on previous cameras but I do fiddle with settings a lot, so I was concerned about access. However after taking about an hour to map functions, I needed the screen less and less, and once you stop relying on the screen, you really do adjust. I don't love the LCD, but I certainly don't feel it's in the way anymore, and the benefits of other features in the camera outweigh any of the negatives associated with the LCD and lack of D-pad, so I've conformed rather nicely to this camera design. It's not for everyone though, but if you are a film shooter or a street shooter, this camera is it.ColorThe new Classic Negative film simulation is what kept me going with this camera. It's absolutely stunning! Now I use this and Acros for everything!AutofocusThis is the fastest autofocus I've ever experienced on a Fujifilm camera. Even more than the X-T3, which it shares it's guts with. Low light autofocus is incredibly accurate and fast. Continuous autofocus is great, and face detection and eye autofocus are sufficient.OVF/EVFResolution of the EVF is top notch. No complaints there. Best in class. I don't use the OVF that much, but it definitely an improvement to the X-Pro2 OVF. Brighter and clearer on the X-Pro3. I'm not pleased to hear that you can't frame lines on the OVF, above 23mm, but I understand, and because I used the EVF, it doesn't effect me as much.Conclusion:Contrary to my original feeling around this camera, I have fallen in love. Don't quickly judge this camera based on the hate you might see on this camera on the internet. I would highly recommend handling it and shooting with it, as much as you can. Go rent it if possible, before drawing conclusions. I didn't think I would use this camera and now I use it the most out of all my fuji bodies, which includes, the X-Pro2, X-T3 and X100F.It's a polarizing camera. You'll either love it or hate it, and either way is ok!

Now that I have used the camera for two-months I am ready to write a review. I love this camera. The image quality is excellent even at ISO 3200. My favorite feature is the hybrid viewfinder. I find the optical finder much better for framing and following the action. I usually have the focus set to manual with the electronic rangefinder and when I need quick focus I have it set up to use the AF-L button for back button focus. The menus are not as easy to navigate as on Canon cameras but they are workable and once I set the camera up I have rarely had to use the menu system. The ability to customize the settings just the way I want them is fantastic. The highly customizable Q-menu gives me access to the things I only change occasionally. The one negative about the ...

The ability to customize the settings just the way I want them is fantastic. The highly customizable Q-menu gives me access to the things I only change occasionally. The one negative about the camera is that it is too easy to accidently change the exposure compensation and focus point while carrying the camera over my shoulder; I have never had this problem with my Canon cameras. Startup time is quick so I now usually turn the camera off when I sling it over my shoulder and then check the exposure compensation when I pick it up again. Overall, this is the best digital camera I have used yet.
I've been really impressed with this camera so far. From the great build quality to the fantastic image quality that this sensor is able to produce. I also really like having a lot of direct control over different settings through all the physical dials and buttons available. It makes shooting through the viewfinder a breeze. Being able to flick between the EVF and OVF is also a really neat feature.The flip down LCD is a pretty polarizing feature of this camera but I personally have found I prefer it this way. If you are coming from a DSLR most of you will be used to shooting using the viewfinder anyways. It's not too much trouble to flip the screen down at the end of a shoot to review photos, but otherwise you can perform almost all functions solely through the ...

I prefer the extra protection given by having the LCD flipped closed while not using it compared to other models where the LCD is always exposed.There are very few cons I have found with this camera. The battery life does leave a little to be desired. This is definitely a "bring a spare battery" camera.
This is the camera I carry every day. Literally. When I wake up and start moving around, it's on me. The Fuji X-Pro3 is the most versatile camera I have ever owned. I swapped my Canon gear for Fuji in 2021 and I haven't regretted it a single day. This camera is tough, durable, feels great in the hands, and takes excellent images. I have also used it for video production, which it handles with aplomb. I own a few cameras and lenses, but I could go the rest of my life with only the X-Pro3 and the Fuji 35mm 1.4. It's also small and lightweight compared to most cameras with similar specs. Seriously, you can't get more out of another camera for the same size and price. Since I plan on using this camera for a very long time, I am glad I got the Dura Black model with the ... MoreThis is the camera I carry every day. Literally.

Seriously, you can't get more out of another camera for the same size and price. Since I plan on using this camera for a very long time, I am glad I got the Dura Black model with the titanium top and bottom plates. I have dropped it, had it out in bad weather, including snow, and nothing affects it. Only when I capsized a canoe did it meet its demise. I am eagerly awaiting Adorama to replace it with my VIP 360 coverage because my life hasn't been the same without it.
I bought two of these early on... probably a week after they became available. Both of them had the bizarre EVF issue where it would basically just go almost white. It was an issue with the hardware.

MoreI bought two of these early on... probably a week after they became available. Both of them had the bizarre EVF issue where it would basically just go almost white. It was an issue with the hardware. Even using the OVF became impossible. Returned both for replacements, which then worked fine.The image quality was as good as you'd expect, but the flippy screen ended up being a hassle for event work. Lovely for personal work, walking around a city and just snapping photos. But, if you need to review images a lot, not so much. I've since sold these and moved back to Nikon, but I do miss the form factor sometimes and consider buying another some day as a travel and personal camera.TL;DR: not great for professional work, but fun and lovely to use for personal work. Would have given them four stars, but as a wedding shooter they just didn't fit the bill like I wanted; plus I had to return two of them right off the bat. Plain silly for a $2000 camera.
I've had the XPro3, Durablack, for just over 3 months now, and I'm really liking it. I also have an X-Pro2, and Panasonic GH5 I use for video.Although the XPro3 is designed as mostly a still camera, it does shoot 4K video at DCI 1.85, 8 bit. I like the look of the Eterna profile for video, so I've been using it more and more for certain types of shooting, especially night work because it's better in low light than the GH5. I can intercut both cameras fine with a bit of color grading.Mostly I use it for stills, and it stays in my laptop bag so it's always with me. I have the Fuji 18-55, 55-200, 16mm f2.8, and 23, 35, and 50mm f2 lenses, plus a 12mm Samyang f2. The 35mm f2 makes a great walkaround lens, especially if it's raining.The reason I went for the XPro3 ... MoreI've had the XPro3, Durablack, for just over 3 months now, and I'm really liking it.

The 35mm f2 makes a great walkaround lens, especially if it's raining.The reason I went for the XPro3 over the H2 or X-T4 was because of the tilt down screen. I have the flipout screen on my GH5 and really do not like it, especially for hand held still photography low angle work--it's extremely annoying. I also like the compact rangefinder styling of the XPro series. I don't use the optical viewfinder that much but it's nice to have for certain types of things. Build quality is all I expected. It feels more solid and tight than my older camera.The only negative thing I can say is the lack of an HDMI port is slightly annoying. I do a studio product shoot regularly for a client, and I have to have the camera hooked to a monitor so they can watch remotely, so I use the X-T2 for that. If the XPro3 had HDMI, I would use it. Most people would probably not run into that issue. Some people say the Durablack finish attracts fingerprints, but I haven't found that a problem, still looks great. When I first got the camera I thought I might not like the way the shutter speed and ISO dials are combined into one, instead of one on the left and one on the right like the X-T series. However, I've come to like this arrangement better. It's easy for me to change shutter speed and ISO with my right hand while cradling the camera with the left. I also thought I would not like the elimination of the D-pad, but after I got the buttons programmed the way I want, I find them quicker and easier to use without taking my eye off the viewfinder. The sub-monitor screen is also nice and I can see camera settings at a glance before I even turn the camera on. Overall I am quite happy with my decision to go with the XPro3.
If you're considering this camera, just buy it. It's one of the greatest cameras ever made. Everything about this camera is exceptional from the image quality to its robust titanium build. However, this camera is less about ticking the boxes and more about how these exceptional qualities come together as a package to produce a feeling of pure joy. A feeling greater than any other modern camera could illicit in my opinion.Only when you use this camera for an extended period of time will you get it. It's one of those cameras that while it feels great on day 1, it gets better and better the more you use it. Eventually you'll come to the realization that Fujifilm have created something magical here. On a sidenote: If you do decide to buy the camera, pay the extra ...

Eventually you'll come to the realization that Fujifilm have created something magical here. On a sidenote: If you do decide to buy the camera, pay the extra money for the dura coating, its 100% worth it. The combination of dura and titanium is so robust that even after years of proper usage on the camera, it looks almost brand new. The coating is also incredibly beautiful in real life compared to photos because it changes color slightly depending on how it catches the light. It's hard to explain but you have to see it in real life.
I rented this camera, a Nikon Z6 and Canon R5. I thought that I would be buying one of the latter after testing. It turns out the white balance and colors were better on the X-Pro3. I couldn?t get the skin tones to look good on Lightroom or Capture One Pro on the Z6 or R5. They were fine in daylight but under tungsten or strobe something would be off and it was difficult for me to adjust the colors in post (even when I white balance with a card). I didn?t have the skill, patience or time.I tried the X-Pro3 last. It was the wild card. Skin tones looked great in all conditions and when I tethered and tested with strobe, the skin tones were excellent. Even better is whatever film preset I select, the Raw image opens with that preset in Capture One.I bought the ... MoreI rented this camera, a Nikon Z6 and Canon R5.

Having spent more time with it, I am impressed with the optical view finder. I rarely use the EVF despite hearing how great it is. The OVF is that good. None of that would be possible if the auto focus weren?t so accurate. I have witnessed incredible focus hit rate using my OVF and single point focus. I haven?t really tried the other focus modes much since single point is so good.The manual controls are nice and it was easy to switch from aperture priority /auto ISO which I use in the field to manual mode and ISO160 in studio. Tethering works great with Capture One. I wish there was a PC synch but I have remote triggers which fit on the hot shoe.I occasionally shoot video and it is there but you have to press the Drive button to engage the movie mode. I?m mostly a stills shooter but having 4K video capability is nice.The R5 and Z6 are nice tools and plenty capable. However, the X-Pro3 is the one I want to use. For my purposes, and I?m not a street photographer, it still made the most sense. I almost didn?t consider this camera because of all the negative/controversial online reviews. I?m glad I tested it out. It is a better camera for what I need: great skin tones, good tonal gradation, accurate AF, excellent image quality. It?s also the most fun camera to use.
