Having said that, my X-Pro3 in Duratec Silver looks absolutely gorgeous. Why couldn’t Fuji design the X-Pro body with a straight, horizontal shoulder? You don’t see this in the X100, X-E or X-A series, so why here? Duratec I can’t help but to feel annoyed with this detail. But what bothered me the most in the X-Pros - and it still does - is the sloped shoulder at the top plate where the shutter button, shutter speed and the exposure compensation dials lay on. The X-Pros looked too busy for my liking, with protrusions and buttons that are non-existent in my clean and minimal Leica M-E. I own a Leica M-E and was always comparing both, the X-Pros and the Leica, which was perhaps a bit unfair. I’ve owned the X-Pro1 and X-Pro2 before and was never crazy about the design. You know this is a beautiful camera and a polarizing one as well, and you love it for this, for all its quirkiness. You like the rangefinder inspired design. You want that small sub-screen showing the film simulation logo because it’s cool, albeit useless. You want to embrace the idiosyncrasies of the hidden back-screen, its arrogant attitude included. With the X-Pro3 you want the unique experience of shooting with the OVF. You know this is a special camera, a product which Fuji elected to go unconventional, as I reported here before. The point I’m trying to make is that if you consider buying an X-Pro3 it’s because you want something unique. But I know it, and you know it as well: just like any other current Fuji X camera, the X-Pro3 will deliver the goods superbly.īesides, if it’s only image quality you are after, then why would you buy the X-Pro3? Why not the X-T3 or any other Fuji X camera that shares the same sensor and image processor? Because the Fuji X-Pro3 is all about the design. And I’m putting this topic on top of everything else, including image quality. So let me try something different here with this Fuji X-Pro3 review. Instead, I’m going to write about what most people won’t be able to observe or comment on if they had never owned this camera. Therefore, I guess it’s not worth writing about the obvious, the stuff that most people already know. The Fuji X-Pro3 was announced almost a year ago in October 2019 and lots of stuff have been written about this camera already.Īs a camera hot head, I’d digested so many X-Pro3 reviews over this period of time and, if you are here reading this review, chances are you went through the same as well.
