The Fujifilm X-Pro3 is a mirrorless interchangeable-lens digital camera announced on October 23, 2019. [3] [4] It is part of Fujifilm's X-Series of cameras, the successor to the X-Pro2. Sales began on November 28, 2019. [5]

X-Pro3 is the latest release of the series.

Features

The overall design follows traditional range finder cameras much like the X-Pro 1 and X-Pro 2 before it but like those cameras it is a traditional mirrorless camera but with the addition of an Optical View Finder to compliment the Electric View Finder.

A lever on the front of the camera switches between EVF and OVF with the OVF providing clear framelines and the view outside of these framelines leading to the X-Pro series being popular with street photographers to see what might be entering their shot.

The camera's top and base plates are made from titanium, and the rest of the body shell is made from magnesium alloy. [6] A variant with a harder wearing DuraTect finish for the titanium top and base plates is scheduled to be available from 8 December 2019. [7] Reviewers have indicated the latter finish accentuates fingerprints. [6] [7]

Another notable design change from previous X-Pro models is the X-Pro3's hidden display. The camera's main LCD screen is mounted on an inward facing hinge and must be opened downwards for viewing or waist level shooting, leaving the screen hidden and the rear of the camera protected when not in use. [7] On the back side of the LCD screen (viewable when the LCD is not) is a secondary unlit display which can be used to display the camera's settings or the film simulation in use.

The X-Pro3 does not have in-body image stabilization. [8] The autofocus works down to -6 EV (near darkness). [8]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Electronic viewfinder</span> Viewfinder using a small screen

An electronic viewfinder (EVF) is a camera viewfinder where the image captured by the lens is displayed on a small screen which the photographer can look through when composing their shot. It differs from a live preview screen in being smaller and shaded from ambient light, and may also use less power. The sensor records the view through the lens, the view is processed, and finally projected on a miniature display which is viewable through the eyepiece.

In photography, a viewfinder is a small window the photographer looks through to see what a photo will look like before they capture it.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Bridge camera</span> Camera with features between point and shoot and mirrorless/SLR.

Bridge cameras are cameras that fill the niche between relatively simple point-and-shoot cameras and interchangeable-lens cameras such as mirrorless cameras and single-lens reflex cameras (SLRs). They are often comparable in size and weight to the smallest digital SLRs (DSLR), but lack interchangeable lenses, and almost all digital bridge cameras lack an optical viewfinder system. The phrase "bridge camera" has been in use at least since the 1980s, and continues to be used with digital cameras. The term was originally used to refer to film cameras which "bridged the gap" between point-and-shoot cameras and SLRs.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Live preview</span>

Live preview is a feature that allows a digital camera's display screen to be used as a viewfinder. This provides a means of previewing framing and other exposure before taking the photograph. In most such cameras, the preview is generated by means of continuously and directly projecting the image formed by the lens onto the main image sensor. This in turn feeds the electronic screen with the live preview image. The electronic screen can be either a liquid crystal display (LCD) or an electronic viewfinder (EVF).

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Mirrorless camera</span> Compact camera with a user-removable and replaceable lens

A mirrorless camera is a camera that does not have a mirror. Though most cameras, including those used in smartphones, lack mirrors, the term mirrorless is primarily used to describe digital interchangeable lens cameras, in order to distinguish them from DSLRs, which have historically dominated interchangeable lens cameras. Lacking a mirror system allows the camera to be smaller, quieter, and lighter.
