As I mention in the review (and above) the camera is not going to be for everybody, if you don't particularly like the camera, please don't "thumbs down" the video. It doesn't help me and make my kids really sad. It's a camera that is absolutely beautiful and a mammoth step up from the X-Pro2. Have a great day folks.

Good to see you back and I look forward to seeing many of your photo’s taken with the X-Pro3. I’m undecided about the screen but I get why they did it and think it’s refreshing to see a camera manufacture try something new. If there’s one thing I wish Fuji would change it would be the joystick, I have the X-E3 and although it works fine it just feels a little weak and small. Also, although you didn’t mention it here, I like the new Q menu customisation, I hope that finds its why to the other X series camera’s too.

Thanks very much for this honest assessment of the X-Pro3. I was really on the fence about this camera because, like you, I really didn't care for the hidden lcd screen implementation nor the removal of the d-pad. But after seeing this video and how you addressed both of those issues, I've decided to go ahead and purchase an X-Pro3. Fuji should really thank you for this type of honest approach as opposed to some of the straight shill videos I've been seeing, as it kept me in Fuji (yes, I was considering ditching Fuji over the handling of the X-Pro3). Thanks again.

I'm just wondering what other future models you have discussed with them or even held in your hands given you had this for so long. I'm very glad these pre production models don't get leaked to rumour sites too, keeps it as it should be pre release!

Hey Kevin, thanks a lot for your review! I am using Leica M cameras as well as a Fuji X100F, and I really like and appreciate that Fuji has the guts to produce a camera like the X-Pro3. Since the X100F, this is the first camera outside the Leica world that tempts me. And of course thank you so much for your honest review. Yes, I know you’re a X-Photographer, but it’s obvious that you’re speaking from your own experience and that you’re not holding back things you don’t like or you think are up to a very individual choice.

Great review, thanks. I’m partial to the XT series, but it’s an interesting concept all the same. Kudos to Fuji for not going with the flow and release a camera with unique features. The Classic Neg sim looks gorgeous.

Thank you for your informative and highly professional video. I truly enjoy your style of photography as well. On your B&W photos, what film simulation did you use or did you edit from raw? Thank you!

Subbed. Your images are stunning!

YES!! Ive been shooting Fuji Superia Xtra 400 film for the past two years and the Classic Neg NAILS it!! Take my monies!! (As an aside, I happen to be asian and have lots of friends who are asian. I think Fujifilms color palette (for their film) skews a bit cool and does much better with asian skin tones compared to kodak portra, so I actually like Superia for portraits!)

At last a guy who talks the walk, and walks the talk! The Images are wonderful and the chat keeps it real.

Overall looks nice. I agree with you Kevin. I would have loved the screen to be fully articulating. Maybe in the xpro4.

Thanks for the straight-up review, Kevin, and for all you do to support us.... The final image -- Classic Neg -- is stunning....I wonder if Fuji left off backlighting the sub-monitor because it might be a distraction when using the EVF/OVF, IF it could not be dimmed....I have to say that what's wrong with my photography is not the X-E3 I hold in my hands, but how I see and execute. The X-Pro3, lust object that it is, will not make me a better image maker/story teller. Although that new OVF.........

Thanks very much Kevin, great review, also, glad that you are back, we all missed you! Have you tried the back button focusing (BBF) setup in the X-Pro3? I was never very satisfied with the tiny, closely placed (so, easy to confuse them by touch) and not easily reachable by your thumb, buttons, to be used for BBF in XT-1 and XT-2. And I think the focus speed was marginally slower when not focusing with the shutter button (closer to contrast-detect speed with the back buttons, than phase-detect, really). Only the X-H1 slightly improved on that. I think the X-T3 (I haven't tested it personally) has slightly more pronounced back buttons for AE-L & AF-L that can be used for BBF, but I see that the X-Pro3 has only one tiny AE-L/AF-L button. What is your opinion on this? Many thanks!

Lovely video Kevin. I applaud Fujifilm for being brave not following the herd; personally I love the intent/concept :)

My X-Pro2 is one of my favorite cameras, so I was a bit skeptical about the rear LCD on the X-Pro3. Among other things, your review convinced me not to worry about it. When shooting with the X-Pro2, I rarely used the LCD anyway, so I'm pleased with Fuji's innovative implementation on the X-Pro3. Thanks to you, I will be pre-ordering the X-Pro3. Thanks again.

Another value-adding review! Thank you Kevin! I'm still diggin' the XE3 as my mobile, lightweight, wedding workhorse as I'm pushing my composition capabilities as much as possible, but am fine not having to push the technology envelope. For me, the movement from X100 to X100F was of necessity; but the XE3 platform [similar to XPro2] became a place of tranquility - where technology limitations [and awkward user interfaces] weren't holding back my artistic and compositional capabilities. That being said - would I buy an XE4 with quicker AF and improved EVF? Hhhhmmm. . . .

I really enjoy the XT and XPro lineups... Always have... And while I'm excited to get my hands on one of these (eventually), I'm almost more excited for what this means for the X-T3 firmware and features looking to the future.

Top review, thanks

Wonderful stuff. Great to see you back and a perfect introduction to the camera. And not a mention of subscribing is the icing on the cake 😉 Love the pics with the new film simulation.

Everyone has HDR TVs now so HDR video should be there, fingers crossed it can be added in firmware (like it was with the XT3) if I stamp my feet loud enough. 😁

Kevin, I’m a huge fan of your work, both personal and professional. I find your work and style very inspiring. I would love to get your opinion on the XPRO 3 as my main rig for portraits. I am a professional headshot and portrait photographer, working in a small studio with strobes and also often shooting outside with natural light. I have an XT3 and most recently, a X100V, and I’ve fallen seriously in love with the rangefinder style of the X100. So much so, that I’m considering selling the XT3 to get the XPRO3. I’d love your thoughts on that. I actually like the idea of the “hidden” LCD, and I love the connection with my subject when I look through a rangefinder style camera. It’s intimate and I can feel the camera get out of the way. It feels good to have an eye on my subject. I have no problem with the XT3, it’s great and reminds me of the old Nikon FE that I trained on as a teen, but the rangefinder size and style of the XPRO and X100 series has my heart. I feel a deep connection to rangefinder style. I trained on film, shooting since I was 13, and something about the analog feel of the XPRO is calling to me, but unsure how it would be for professional headshots and portraits. Would you feel confident to have the XPRO as a main portrait and even a studio camera? Could it replace my XT3? I also very occasionally shoot family portraits and small events. My work is all about people and the human connection to clients. Thanks for any thoughts! I trust your expertise and thoughts. Would I regret moving to the XPRO from the XT3?

The most beautiful opening so far and sincere as usual, lovely sample pictures also, especially with Classic Neg! How do you use the LCD screen overhead since it stops at a position hard to see? Any work on noise level compare to X-T3 and its AF, as they said they have improved it over X-T3?

@kevin_mullins

4 жыл бұрын

You can bring the screen down to 180 degrees which is fine for most things but the screen is certainly something that people need to consider if looking at this cameras. Noise should be same as XT3 but perhaps a little better at higher ISO due to the -6ev focusing ability compared to the (I think) -3 on the XT3.

Thanks for your great review, and having just got an X-Pro3 working my way through the menus and custom settings. Just one question if I may, when I import to Capture One can't find the option not to convert the Raw file as well with all the Jpeg styles, eg If i chose Acros that is what I get for both jpegs and Raw. Love the camera so far and a worthy upgrade... the focussing speed of the original 35mm 1.4 is lightening fast! Agree the Submonitor could do with backlighting. Thanks again

I’m not convinced by the LCD implementation. Will have to try it for myself. Aesthetically, I wish they would’ve kept the crease on the front, which makes the X-Pro2 look sleeker imo. Thank you for your take.

Hi thanks for your review! Sorry, have you had chance to try the 18mm (27mm framelines)? I've been concerned about this. As far as I know now the ovf has a 27mm coverage area which make this pointless while using the 18mm. It's my favourite focal length so far.

Those shots in the beginning are EPIC !! (I love BW and your style in particular, heavy on the contrast, like Ted Vieira) I owned the X100F and seeing the X-Pro 3, the dual function dial scared me, nightmares if you will, cause that is one of the main reasons I sold the X100F, I hated that dial and still do. It simple does not work when you want to change settings in a hurry. (I shoot manual 90%) Changed it for the Leica Q (not the Q2 cause that camera is less light sensitive due to the more MP that basically don't add up to the quality of shooting IMO ~ FF 24MP = sweet spot ) and man that is a relief besides the Summilux lens and colors SOOC. Based on that, I would go for the X-T3 any day of the week. Thanks for sharing your opinion and thoughts, btw any news on Zach, I miss his video's !

The good screen has already been invented before and implemented well in the X-A70. You can hide it, Show it or flip it. That's the best screen option I've seen. And the sub-monitor could be also part of this design. Why not?

Enjoy!!! Nice!

Appreciate your feedback/review as always. I completely agree with you on the screen and desire to have it stay as it was...fixed...or if need to move then fully articulating giving the option to the user to hide or have facing out as opposed to forcing one or the other. The lack of D-Pad is potentially not as much of an issue depending on the touch screen interface and how that actually works...or adjusting to the joystick. Given this is Fuji's only rangefinder style it forces long time X-Pro1 & X-Pro2 owners/users like myself to consider it as it's the only game in town...but functionality of the body design/screen continues to be a disappointment given how I use that feature...shooting raw and using in camera conversion as a major point...let alone instant access to the menu via Q button. Just more comfortable to than staring at the ground and looking a the EVF...why limit yourself? To actually buy this the internals/software would have to really be leaps and bounds above the X-Pro2...not sure if it is for me. Question for you...how many of the other ambassadors like yourself were hesitant or opposed to changing the screen? Where did the major push for that feature come from...I assume marketing/design areas of Fuji...

I think opinions were divided. A vast majority of the guys and gals wanted a tilt screen of some kind. I think I was pretty much in the minority of not wanting one. TBH though, the camera (screen appreciation aside) really leaps and bounds above the X-Pro2 - but it does depend on what you need. If you find the AF, and other features OK in the XP2, then there perhaps isn't a reason to upgrade. For me, the camera is much more advanced than the X-P2 for the features I need.

Great video. Just subscribed to your channel :). One question, I own 2 xt-2 now and I`m looking for an upgrade.

Was there any discussion at Fujifilm about the angle on the dial deck? Love to know what those who wanted to clean up the lines more like the X100 series was. I would have prefered them straightening it out. I like cameras functional and the angle doesn't seem to have one and make the thing look like a wedge. Of course that's just an optical illusion, but there it is.

Hi Kevin, you say the OVF has been improved in terms of brightness and clarity. There seems to be a downside, though: its magnification is fixed now, and the compromise Fuji chose leaves us without framelines for the 18mm lens, which is my most-used and in fact very popular with street photographers.

The last time I saw an non-back lit LCD must be about 20 years ago now, on my old Gameboy Colour. We had to buy a wired light to plug into the USB on the side just to play games in varying light conditions.

I wonder if that wired light is still available :-)

Great as always Kevin In fact this new simulation seems interesting BUT the best information (never read before) for me is these 2 presets 2m and 5m to infinity It's like Snap Mode with Ricoh GR Serie ? If yes it's a very good news. For me the big disapointed is no 4K 60fps. Best P.S: 6 months definitely too long, my son is sad too :)

Yes, that's a great feature for Street photographers. I don't think this camera will be used for serious filming by many - you can only roll for 15 minutes for example. I'll be keeping my X-T3 for filming.

@@kevin_mullins Thanks for your reply but not agree about 4K, it's not a reason, I want 1 camera for all.

Just 1 question, possible to change ISO or speed with front and back weels? It's really perfect with my X-E3. Thanks

Hello Kevin. How is the low light focusing on this compared to the X-T3? Is it noticeably better than the X-T3 considering that it is rated at -6 ev compared to the -3 ev in the X-T3? And do you use back button focus?

Hi Kevin, actually I use two xpro2 for weddings and I always use screen to point and shot when my position doesn't permit me to look into the viewfinder. That happens so quickly and with a xpro3 means to leave always screen opened. I am really sorry for that, do you use screen often for point and shot ( quickly switching from viewfinder to screen)? If yes don't you think xpro3 will force you to loose some pictures you was able to catch only with a screen?

I rarely use the LCD for shooting stills so it won't affect me. For you, who do, then that certainly needs to be a consideration here.

I have the same problem, I need to change from evf to screen as quickly as possible, if I have to flip the screen down always that could be a nightmare

Dear Kevin. After your review, the Xpro3 is a must buy for me. Just one question. Did you use different Jpeg settings (Colour, Sharpness, Clarity, Tone Curve, NR ...) with your Classic Negative Samples, or they SOOC with standard settings? Please let me know, because I love shooting with your Jpeg Settings. Thank you and Best Regards from Austria, Oliver 😊

Kevin, don't you think it would be a better solution to not have a screen at all on XPro, or to have two versions of it? For ppl who are using screen to review pictures this hidden lcd is frustrating as hell, and if Fuji wants photographers to focus on shooting and not reviewing pictures then they should show some guts and do what Leica have done with M-D and M10-D series - removing lcd completely. Being in the middle - having but not having lcd - neither justifies Fuji's "new philosophy" neither satisfies modern/regular photographer. Great overview of the camera btw, you are the reason I own X100F, I lovin' it!

What about the ability of focusing as far down as -6 EV with the X-Pro 3 as opposed to the X-T3's -3EV? I have shot SLR style cameras for work for the past 17 years (X-T2 since July 2017). I might be interested in moving to the X Pro 3 just because of the -6EV. What about the EVF? Is it equal or better than the X-T3? I'm very curious. Please keep up the great work. Thanks!!!

Interesting thanks. Beautiful. Any more in-camera crop options like 5:4? Good value I'm sure but too expensive for me, even if I trade my XT3 😥

Pretty sure it's the same as the other cameras. 16:9 etc. Not sure of any new ones.

Thanks for sharing this Kevin. LOVED the beach-shots. Question: do you think they'll come up with an alternative version that has the traditional LCD later on? Like the "X-Pro3 S" or something? Wink if you've heard talk of this but are not allowed to comment :P

Honestly no idea. I'd only know if I was involved in something and I'm not.
