Facts. Xt3 with the grip. I use my elan 7e with the grip for street photography lol with the 40mm pancake

I really like the fact that Fuji has the balls to bring out a camera that’s not like most other cameras. It‘s definitely not meant for everyone, and it has to be different from the X-T3 - and it is. If you don‘t like - no problem, there are tons of other cameras out there - the XPro3 is just not meant for you. Like Chris pointed out, just go with the X-T3. But if you like the different approach, hey, this is a brilliant camera. I‘m a Leica shooter, and I think it’s quite good that at least one other brand has the guts to produce a special camera that is not meant to please everyone.

Leica users don't stand a chance against the overwhelming hipness of my Hasselblad X-pan.

Chris and Jordan are storytellers, not camera reviewers. I must be watching these stories for pure enjoyment, because I’m not looking to buy a new camera. Good job guys!

This camera is a revival of those old film cameras carrying a slot at the back of the body where you could stick a cut out of the film negative cardboard box to remind the user what film had been loaded inside the camera. Its a camera that bring back the joy of framing a picture to be shot almost exclusively through the viewfinder, a joy the young mobile phone generations will now be happily indulged into.Congrats, Fujifilm!

Peter Kent I looked at the scenes you mentioned and I can’t see any kind of mush, noise or anything negative regarding the shadows. I’m watching this on an iPad 11” Pro with the brightness turned up. Maybe you were seeing the effects of KZread compression. (BTW, I’m not a Fuji shooter and have zero reason to like or dislike this camera.) ***I wish DPReview would offer full bit-rate downloads of their videos, maybe in a zipped folder that also includes original photos in raw and Joey format. KZread just butchers the quality of video, especially during peak hours.

You are my fave kit reviewers of all time Jordan & Chris!!

"Titanium trinket" or not, I love mine. If I spent a lot of time on tripods or needed 4 more function buttons, I'd have gotten the X-T3. That is a more practical camera, but the X-Pro3's left-side hybrid viewfinder is gorgeous and simply improves my shooting experience. It's placed correctly to allow my big "gaijin" nose to stay out of the way. It has an myriad of easily switchable and tunable options to allow me to setup what I'm seeing for the lens and scenario I'm shooting. And its' hidden LCD amuses me. It is a constant reminder that there're passionate designers in Japan who are ready willing and able to fight and win arguments with their pointy-haired bosses to make products for me that they believe in. I love those guys, and the world needs more like them!

Love your videos. Please keep them coming. Yours are the first preview videos I watched for the E-M5 iii and X-pro3, before watching those from ANY other channel!

gotta give a like just for that intro

After watching several popular youtubers on their initial take for x-pro3, I have to say that Chris and Jordan give the most information and their opinions (which is good) out of it. Really appreciate your observations and thoughts! Keep up the good work! The color of the video from x-pro3 looks fabulous! Still images look great too (of course)!

The X-Pro2 is so fun to shoot with. I can imagine the X-Pro3 is just as fun. The camera also makes you look handsome 😁 if that is important.

Incredible review. I love you guys. ❤️

Like the promo, Your best review yet!

Thoroughly enjoyable review. I had no interest in buying this nor do still but no matter what your talking about Chris you always make it so easy and enjoyable to listen to. Jordan, you did such a great job filming this when you could barely even access the LCD. So good!

I love your content, best camera reviews period.

I am not looking at a new camera but the production quality of these reviews are brilliant and Chris and Jordan are so personable, makes it entertaining.

best and most meaningful review of this camera ive come across. thank you

As an A7 series and M-D user, I'm for sure picking it up. Thanks for the point about the coating. Will go with the base model.

Great video! Specially the intro hahahahahah It is nice that you filmed everything with the xpro3, I found that I like a lot more the image quality that you make with the gh5/gh5s. The crispness, the colors, your gh5 footage looks much better to me. The sensor size war and the hate that some are trying to create is absolute nonsense. Don't get me wrong, the photos looked beautiful, and that classic negative is fire! 🔥🔥🔥 Also, in my humble opinion, instead of the hybrid viewfinder which increases thee cost of the camera, they should have put ibis.

The intro was hilarious! good review btw. I've being wait for a camera where the LCD is removable or hidden. For travel and street photography I don't like when the view mode goes to LCD. I mainly shot EVF only. While doing landscape an LCD screen is essential for histograms and leveling when used with a tripod. Very tempted to upgrade my X-E3 to such a camera however the size of the wee X-E3 is great for travel photography. Thanks Jordan for the video review that was super helpful and film simulation I agree looks lovely.

best camera review video introduction ever.

Incredible! They changed almost everything I‘d change in the XP2, the way I’d change it. It’s perfect, the flipped-in screen alone is worth the extra money. However, the XP2 is good enough for me, I‘m not going to get an XP3, but I hope they will hand the classic neg down to it.

Excellent review. Entertaining, informative and well balanced.

regarding that intro - YOU LOOKED MAHVELOUS !!! style points galore ! :) Seriously - good real impressions feedback - x-t3 / x-pro3 comparisons. I'm not really video savvy, but the simple feedback from the videographer really cut to the chase and hit the high points. I thought that color grading/look was really exceptional, and just as pure image it sure beats the crap out of some of the yuck-o "creative" color work showing up today. THANKS for keeping images and content real guys. Much appreciated.

Thanks for this honest review; you guys are the best

Wonderful honest review 👍

I find that flip down screen works great for "head down" shots - like an old twin lens reflex - folks don't know you're looking at them so great for street shots! Love it! It's the way flip screens should be!

This video looks beautiful and the photos that Chris took are some of the best he’s ever shared during a review. If you just listened to the audio of this you’d think it was a negative review, but the output is stunning!

Nice music choice. That intro was great :). I can see this camera working for people who really enjoy the process. I do as well, but I also enjoy low prices and efficiency. Not my camera, but it will have a market.

Excellent review! I love the Pro series from Fujifilm and look forward to picking up the Pro 3 when it is available. Cheers!

Really nice videoquality! Super natural and deep backgrounds.

Awesome, awesome review! Like the honesty and the awe of the technological innovations and shortcomings. I only wish you would realize that Xpro3 is a photo range finder, meant to be used incognito.

Great review, thank you for the frank assesment :)

Thanks for the detailed and helpful video. I purchase the XT3 which I will admit is a very capable camera and more reasonably priced than the Xpro 3. I wanted a flip screen for predominantly waist level street shots. Nontheless, I have had a tough time with the XT3 flip screen. It is not easy to flip out quickly and is essentially a 2 stage pull out for waist level landscape views and is also obstructed by the central eye piece. I was initially a little dubious about the novel screen on the X Pro 3, but honestly it seems so much easier to pull out for street shots and the build quality seems excellent. The screen mechanism on the XT3 seems to have come from an inferior camera compared to the rest of its build. I think it will be the X pro 3 for me ...and in black!

You shot it on the camera! The true truth. Thank you! Thank you! The satire was purrrrfect!

Ha, brilliantly done intro! And much appreciate the candid views. Love x100f but want to be able to swap out prime focal lengths. So have had my eye on the xpro line. Had they not removed the D-pad and switched to the wacky lcd i was going to consider it. But its a non-starter with these changes.

@1fareast14

yep. So much on the x-pro series was solid, all it needed was a tilt screen, looks like someone was holding the monkey's paw when wishing for that one

That eterna profile works for me. Very nice video and many of the stills shown were just excellent. Y'all just might become photographers one day. 😜

Best intro on KZread!

I would immensely love to get that custom focus function on my X-H1 and X-T2.

Loved that intro...The farce is strong with this one 🤣. I want to love this camera but you raised some very interesting points, it’s definitely a try before you buy and I don’t mean just for the day. However I have no need or desire to upgrade at this point and I’ll happily stick with my X-E3, although I do hope that Q menu option trickles down as a software upgrade, that I liked very much.

ok i gotta say this, the photos that came out from that camera with the film simulation is just beautiful the color is very superia...and the video quality is amazing...nothing beats that Fuji color

I’ve been really lusting after the Leica M series cameras. I decided to look at Leica m alternatives and this was the first to pop up. I’m really glad that I came across this camera. Seems to have everything that I want in a rangefinder style digital and doesn’t have the ridiculous Leica prices. I love Leica and I understand the pricing, but it’s still expensive as hell. This Fuji seems the best of all worlds. I’m a film shooter who saw the dawn of the digital camera age. Maybe it’s just old habits but I shoot digital cameras like film. It just doesn’t fully translate. This camera seems to get back to it and is a digital camera made for those who shoot film. I absolutely love that “film” type simulation on the back, that’s a great throwback to the old film cameras that actually had that holder for the film box tab

Nice work. Agree with you about the rear screen

Still the best camera review intro out there

First, the OVF is really like an old rf film camera . From experience : it is nice to see outside the frame to compose or anticipate something coming into but with a tele the area becomes just too small. I must point out that we currently have a much wider choice of focals and a lot more cropping possibilities than in the old 35 film days but if you shoot mostly a 23 and/or maybe a 35 , you must try this. Second, the viefinder being on the left, if you are a left eye shooter, your nose does not interfeer with the screen and you have room to reach the joystick. This is clearly a specialty and retro approach that could be a dream come true to some and while not for me , i salute this as a rare tool providing a different experience . This would have been a risky move for Fuji if they did not also have the XT-3 but they do.

Might wait to see a xe4. Do love the 4 tiles concept.

Great review! Thanks

One feature that i waiting for you guys to talk about is the hdr function in the x-pro-3

That little screen is adooooorable. Honestly, nice touch as it doubles as the DSLR shoulder display.

Loved the review guys, but I'm still buying the premium ovf / evf for some street photography experience. Sometimes you need a break from an A7Riv with a 24mm GM.

Always enjoy Chris and Jordan reviews, even when Chris is so wrong about the viewfinder and LCD, both of which are friggin awesome. Fuji: please add this screen to the X100 model.

I love that intro 😆 I want a black X-Pro3.

Another great review.

This whole video is a testimony to Fujifilm’s video colours. This is you guys’ best looking video to date. I have the GH5 and shoot with it every day, like you, but I really don’t like the out of camera colours. A lot of work washing away that Pana cast. This here is just pure gorgeous. Whenever Fujifilm is dropping their first X camera with no time limit, I’m probably there first in line.. And by the way, I can see this flip out screen being killer and stealthy for waist level street photography. Not sure why you didn’t emphasise that in the video.

Ditto that. If this video is 8 bit?! See their mini-masterpiece review of the X-T3 shot in 10 bit X-T3.

Hope this means I can finally get myself a sweet X-Pro 2 for not a bucketful of money!

thank you for an honest review

This is the first time I've watched a review that I regretted buying my X-T3. I wish I had gotten an X-Pro3 now. Purely because of how I shoot. I rarely use the LCD on my camera except to change settings at home and I have never shot video and I don't really anticipate that changing. I like the minimalism of the X-Pro 3 and how it attempts to force you out of menus and information overload and puts on the emphasis on taking pictures. I also really like the way it looks. I think the OVF is probably a novelty, but I can also see how having that option could be creatively motivating for some people.

Thanks so much for showing the problems Dura has with finger prints, because of your review I pre ordered the regular black like my xpro2. Seeing people now who have the Dura black and seeing same problem would have really bothered me if I got it. Thanks Again!!

That intro was godlike

Love it. I already only use the evf to look at my photos so I don’t need the screen. Yes, I look weird - like I’m taking a photo of the floor - but I can see the image way better. It’s not for everyone... great!...so maybe I can get one secondhand one day!

This camera looks so much fun to shoot with

Distance scale / focus distance on the sub monitor would be absolutely perfect. So useful to look down and know distance without looking through the viewfinder.

The colour profile in this video is sublime.

Good job guys!

Nice street photo opportunity at 5:37 with the green bicycle and the green fire hydrant. Nevermind, we are busy with gear and tech specs 🤣

video is absolutely gorgeous

What a great intro !!!

Always great reviews. Thank you! The articulation of the LCD could have been better to help shoot better when overreaching a crowd of people but I'd be fine if the camera didn't even have an LCD. They had good intentions but we never get what we want all in one package and yet we always find something to complain about, lol. as u know the x pro serious never been about video capabilitiesor landscape photography anyway so I wouldn't bother with putting a tripod ring attached to the camera. I do agree with you on the magnification options though. Still, great camera imo. Faster focus better ISO stronger body... Let's go out and shoot

Great review.

At 1:23, the guy with the two black plastic plastic garbage bags - cinematic genius!

4:08 right after you said "adorable", a leaf just flied itself went right into the trash can, which I found is adorable.

55 sec in and dying of laughter!! love you chris!

I really like the intro. I half expected you to say you could see photons left over from the Big Bang. THAT would have been a great marketing tool!

I was super excited for the xpro3.. the hidden lcd and lack of d-pad has made it un-usable for pro work.. although for street photography its amazing! sad to hear about the mucky effect of that finish! im not loving that mini display at all tho! great vid guys.. very entertaining as always! :-)

Love the look of Eterna video

Love the intro this camera will certainly pull those types in like moths to a flame.
