Huge thank 🙏🏼 and yeah, I have the xt3 but there is something special about the xpro range.

I upgraded my x-pro2 to x-t3 over a year ago, because the lack of tilt screen and the viewfinder was hard to see in bright days... And the iso-dial was quite annoying too. But have to say that x-pro2 was more fun to shoot with than the x-t3 is. That's the reason I recently got a used X100V and it's absolutely brilliant! Tilt screen, iso-dial fixed and the evf/ovf is ok. And the most important thing: It's fun to shoot with.

I sold my X-T1 and got a X-Pro2 in 2016.

I’m very happy with it and I’m likely going to use it for another 2-4 years. For a X-Pro4 I wish they make the viewfinder bigger, like a X-T3/4 viewfinder, and put a X100V tilt screen on it.

But after it was released and seeing all the reviews, I just can't justify the new, full price of the camera for the extra 2MP and a handful of changes. I don't deride the back screen on the XPro3, but like you, I've taken many, many photos just holding the camera and positioning it at odd angles and snapping the image. The one thing I really wanted is IBIS - very useful in less than perfect street situations.

Fuji was most likely distancing their cameras with the XP3. Before, there were only very small differences between the XT3, X100f, and XP2. Now, all three have their own niche in what type of people will buy them. What you see with the XP3 is exactly what sets it apart from the XT4 and X100V. It's up to the consumer to buy it or not.

Facts. X-Pro 2 is still miles ahead of many newer mirrorless cameras. All depends on needs of course. I have X-Pro 2 for street and every day life, X-H1 for video, fully rigged and dedicated for heavy lenses and long zooms due to the stronger mount. X-T3 exclusively for handheld video and gimbal, or when I need the 4K 60fps. Enjoy them all but X-Pro 2 + grip is made perfect for my hands.

yh these Fujis are so good for street!

I find most of the people complaining about the screen of the X-PRO3 didn't get the chance to use one for an extended period of time.. If you do street, this camera is perfect ! shooting from the hip with the screen open at 45º angle is brilliant. It is a true street photographer's tool. That's why you have an OVF. It is not meant to be shorted from a screen. If you want to do so get an Xt4 or XS-10. Yes I enjoyed my X-PRO2 I think is a beautiful camera, the image quality, as you said is very good, it has something special in the way it treats the colours, but the X-PRO3 brings you much more in terms of highly refining your jpeg's, Classic Negative film simulation is beautiful and is the closest thing they have created that behaves like a true 35mm film. I also find it has better high Iso capability and crispness and the EVF is much better, brighter and bigger than the old one.

@erenjam

3 жыл бұрын

A lot of it comes down to how you shoot. As you said if you predominantly use the OVF the screen at the back isn't too important. I'm actually thinking of renting a xpro3 in to test it out properly in the near future!

As the "pro" series it would be wonderful if Fugi would offer "LCD options": a flip out screen for photographers, articulating screen for bloggers. Maybe in the pro4 they will st least due away with the "drop down" screen approach. The flip out or articulation approach would both be more useful.

Very different style of camera. Some love the X-T series cameras (DSLR-style) and some love the more rangefinder-style ones. I've used both and for me I really like the X-Pro2 because of the different camera shapes (fits into more bags), viewfinder placement, ability to use OVF and so on. But equally many really like the X-T series for stuff like: bigger EVF, better dedicated ISO dial and so on. I wouldn't say one is objectively better than the other so unless you really think you'd enjoy that rangefinder form factor (or the OVF) I'd stick with the X-T series.

After having owned both Dura-variants of the Pro3 I can say that the new bodies didn't give me that much satisfaction when shooting them. Yes, facetracking is improved and so is the AF, but all in all I didn't see the point of spending that much money on the Pro3, too. So I sold both and got myself a T4 (which IS an substantial upgrade) and a beautiful shiny Pro2 Graphite Edition. Best decision I could make!

I try to keep it as low as possible, rarely go above 800 or 1600 at night

Rationale rationally presented, Eren. Agree about ergo and image IQ. IMO “genre” of why to upgrade or not has more value to viewers when posted close to new gear release date - more than a year ago for Pro-3. Likewise, a “still worth it?” vid lauding a cam that’s only avail used/demo is also a bit of a tease. Agree about rear screen anomaly - thought Fuji’s “big idea” was to emulate old film box label holder on analog cams. Some folks take “film feel” to such a degree they purposely use low capacity SD cards to emulate film frame limits. IBIS is a “must have” for me, so X-Pro not an option (have XT-4). Love your night images; would welcome more night POVs w/pics - hint, hint.😁 Timely YT thumbnail for this post - black mask in keeping w/your “trademark?” black tops.😷 Still waiting for those London fog pics you mentioned in prior post. Smile!

Haha thanks Paul! Got a gopro9 dropping in next week so POV night London video is inbound. As for the fog, have a half finished episode on it, waiting for another bout of it so I can pick up more footage 🤞🏼. Have a great weekend! 🙏🏼

I would seriously, no-kidding, love to see a special edition X-Pro that *only* has the OVF (but maybe with more magnification options). And Leica does have their models that does exactly that, but I guess Fujifilm is too mass market and aggressively priced to make such a niche product.

I agree, I'd prefer Fujifilm to go all-in​ on OVF style camera rather than pull gimmicks like they did with the screen

@@erenjam I actually don't think it's a gimmick. If your use case is that you only use LCD for the low shots then X-Pro3 is the fastest most efficient design for that style. You can flip it out / in much faster than with any other camera. It all depends on your use case I guess.

Xpro 3 has no back screen because they want you to slow down, they’re trying to I’ve a more accurate film simulator experience. I don’t own one but I see the appeal.

@@erenjam As a film photographer the back e-ink screen is really appealing - harkening back to the days of film reminder windows and using that as a neat way to display info is a good choice imo. It would've served them better to have a flip out screen rather than tilt down

I don't care about the rear screen, and I could live without the D-pad. But it is beyond me why they crippled the OVF! On the X-Pro2 I can use any WR prime from the 16/2.8 to the 50/2 with the OVF comfortably. Why oh why did they ditch the dual magnification levels in the X-Pro3? It completely ruins the camera experience for me.

First I've heard about this, going to look into it, Fujifilm really did make a couple odd decisions with the Xpro3

The only reason I've stuck with Fuji (and my X-Pro-2) is how invested I am in the lens system. I tried the X-Pro-3 and hated it. I've been tolerating the Pro-2 but that is coming to an end. I'm on my third EVF eyepiece gasket because they keep falling of. The diopter is super easy to bump just taking the camera out of the bag. Same for the Exposure Comp. Battery life is the worst of any mirrorless system. And then there's that fiddly overly retro ISO/Shutter Speed dial. Just like the "flip screen" on the Pro-3, what were they thinking? With all that it's still a fun camera to shoot with, but it's only good for street and travel photography or hipsters who like the retro-style. If you have other interests it's just not the system for you. 90% sure I'm moving on.

The xt4 could be a good option, solves most the issues but Yh, some the design choices on the xpro3 are odd to say the least. Have a great weekend Tom 🙏🏼

@@erenjam Tried the X-t4 and t3. Didn't much care for either for a variety of reason (poor IBIS in the t4, tiny bodies, sub-par build quality compared to the Pro line) but also as I've never been able to use any Fuji body but the Pro and X-100 via the EVF without smashing my nose into the LCD. (No jokes, if you have a large nose it's a real issue) I had hopes for the X-H line but the X-H1 was a disaster and I hear the H2 is going to be primarily a video camera. Gotta bag full of great glass, and nothing that inspires or allows me to shoot the way I want. You have a great weekend as well.

If you can only pick two lens for your X-pro body. Which one will you get ?
