![]() ![]() The OVF point is not minor, because what differentiates the X-Pro series from the others, apart from the X100, but we will come back to this, is this OVF. If we can discuss endlessly about the rear screen which according to some is a huge advantage and others a handicap, there is a point where the X-Pro3 is undoubtedly inferior to the X-Pro2 and X-Pro1. It’s your Leica, except that it’s Fujifilm.Ī point not covered in the article is the optical view finder (OVF). The X-Pro3 is a beast that you’ll keep and use and love for ages. But the emotional side tells you that those cameras aren’t as timeless as the X-Pro line. The rational side of your brain will tell you that the X-E4 is much cheaper, smaller, and lighter, yet basically the same thing, and since you rarely shoot in the rain you don’t really need weather-sealing anyway. The rational side of your brain will tell you that the X-T4 is slightly better and slightly cheaper. The X-Pro3, though, isn’t a practical purchase-it’s emotional. There’s also the potential that the TIFFs, having more bits, do actually deliver an improved image quality, but if so it is really subtle and I couldn’t tell. I didn’t notice any image quality difference between TIFF and JPEG, but the TIFF should allow you more room for editing before the files start to degrade. Most Fujifilm models can either do RAW or JPEG (or RAW+JPEG), but you have an additional option of TIFF on the X-Pro3. Here’s something that maybe hasn’t been talked about much: the ability to save TIFFs. Best-looking body combined with Fujifilm’s fantastic film simulations is a winner in my books!įebruary Reaching – Farmington, UT – Fujifilm X-Pro3 – “ Vintage Color v2” Yeah, it has a couple disappointing design choices, but if you are aware of those things going into the purchase, you won’t be disappointed. It is such a beautiful model, and is just as beautiful on the inside as it is on the outside. The X-E4, the current entry-level model, has more JPEG options than the X-Pro3, and that just doesn’t seem right to me.Įnough of the negativity, though, because the X-Pro3 is an awesome camera! I thoroughly enjoyed using it. ![]() This is a real shame, because otherwise it would feel just as up-to-date as the latest models, but instead it has a sense of being slightly dated. Unfortunately, and despite this being a “premium” model, Fujifilm hasn’t given this camera the Kaizen love that it deserves, and you won’t find Eterna Bleach Bypass, half-step Highlight and Shadow adjustments, or the two new Auto White Balance options. Image quality on the X-Pro3 is fantastic-exactly the same as the X100V, X-T4, and the other X-Trans IV cameras. ![]()
