Wrangle in the chaos, and find within it, the perfect moment. Create from chaos with the new Fujifilm X-Pro 3. Designed primarily for photographers, with nostalgia written all over it, this brand new camera takes a simplistic approach, to the new era of photography. 

With a sneak peek earlier this year, the X-Pro 3 had everyone on the edge of their seats until late Tuesday night. Now, it is here and we have the low-down on what makes this mirrorless camera unique. 

Starting off, this stylish camera has a lot of similarities to its siblings in the X-Pro lineup. Comparing to the X-T3, the X-Pro 3 also has both an optical viewfinder (OVF) with a 0.5x magnification and a 3.69-million-dot electronic viewfinder (EVF), this gives photographers a lot of freedom to adjust to their preference while having the option to switch it up. It also has the same 26 megapixel, APS-C sensor, and processor as the X-T3, which is already quite established. It also has a similar, but slightly lighter weight, an X lens mount, and you still get all the film simulations Fuji is famous for along with a few new ones.  

The most important and notable improvements for the X-Pro 3 include its new and improved autofocus system. Although it seems rather similar to the X-T3 on paper, the X-Pro 3 is a hybrid autofocus system, using phase and contrast detection, making it exceptionally good in low-light conditions. It also has face and eye detection that can be utilized in both stills and video. 

As we found out in the earlier release, it has a hidden 3-inch, 1.62 million-dot, tilting LCD touchscreen, where the aim is to keep users using the viewfinder, but provides a 180-degree tilt, allowing users multiple options, including waist-level shooting. Now since the primary LCD is hidden in the X-Pro 3, when you look at the back of the camera, all you see is a smaller LCD. This three-inch LCD can either show you your white balance, ISO settings or can give you a retro feel by showing different film simulations depending on what mode you’re in, like photographers used to do back in the film days. 

The other most noticeable change to the X-Pro 3 is its overall build. It is made with a titanium body, making it quite durable while still being light and compact. It also comes in two DURA finishes, which uses cold plasma technology to give it a scratch-resistant finish. A few ergonomic changes such as the modified thumb rest, a retro-styled dual ISO and shutter dial, and the overall tactile feel of the camera has made it distinct amongst the rest of the X Series. 

Overall, the X-Pro 3 was designed with simplistic and thoughtful photography in mind. Bringing back some of the best aspects of classic film photography, while bringing into the digital, mirrorless world.
