Why I bought a Fujifilm X-Pro 3 (Not a x100v)

FIRST PICTURE LOOKS FANTASTIC

A bunch of Tik Tock creators have made the X100v a thing. But they are amateurs in love with a point and shoot camera with a fixed lens. . The X-Pro 3 is a professional camera miles ahead of the consumer X100v. It is best compared to the Leica. Body and camera are weather-sealed, dual slots, etc. It is simply the difference between a fine professional camera and an amateur point and shoot. IMHO people buying the X100v just don't understand cameras and camera technology and are buying haype for a far more limited camera which should be priced around $800. If they were really smart, they would just be using an iPhone.

Which lens or lenses did you attach to the X-Pro 3? Were all of the images straight out of the camera except for minor cropping? Cheers!!

I agree with your views of the XPro3. I own one and enjoy using it. I specifically purchased it because I wanted the rear screen to be less accessible.

Is the body water/weather resistant as that is essential for my line of work.

I didn't!

I use the xt100 with an 85mm f1.8 xf lens and seriously the shots you can get from this setup are stunning. I bought this setup as a holiday camera I guess and now I use it for everything even put my 5d mk3 aside because the fuji can do it all and can fit in your jacket or a very small camera case/bag

I love Dslrs, e.g. 5D, 1DX etc, but sold all, retaining a Fuji X-T1 plus compact Fuji zoom as a go-to, with a few manual primes. It's the sheer portability plus stunning IQ that wins out for me. I also notice that general Fuji used body prices have risen, not depreciated. Now that is Leica-esque. Not a fan of RF style though the X-Pro 3 looks lovely👍

Why anyone buy leica digital vs panasonic? Why they use apple computers? Yes i bought fuji because this all hype.

I thought everyone was going for one of the sony a6000 variants.

you really found some awesome words describing these cameras!

Love the photos took by X-pro 3!

its a joy to use... that`s all

Nice vid!! Btw, what is the strap called in the thumbnail?

i totally agree with you....

.I am not going to buy one...;)>

I never see Fuji anywhere on the streets. Lots of other brands, but not Fuji.

Dude SERIOUSLY stop saying "really"! You said it like 100 times in less than 10m! Sheesh!

Love my X-Pro3, best thing in a very long time.

Because of all these videos on you tube . Lenses are to expensive for me I just sold my XE3

Beautiful photos. I definitely prefer the X-Pro 2 over the 3 as do a lot of people. But I do like what Fuji was trying to accomplish with the 3. I feel they should have made the screen be able to completely flip around

They're not, you lame shill.

We live in a golden age of digital photography and so many brands are great. As for this video, there is something called reality that we can't escape. Fujifilm cameras, though great, are a very distant FOURTH in digital camera sales. No amount of brand tribalism will alter this fact.

Many people don’t realize that a camera that inspires you and brings you joy in your personal work inspires your client work also.

I’m wondering how Fuji are coping with everyone buying one.

Would you mind telling me which second-hand camera store in japan you got your camera from?

My sub monitor and lcd died 2 times on my xpro3 in 2.5 years now im done with this camera.

Hi I do videos so I am searching for a small and light camera to shoot only photos and have just fun. I can’t shoot whith my work horses . Maybe the xt 20 or xt 30 it depends don’t care to be full spect out. Thank you for your thoughts

Not everyone is buying Fujifilm in 2023 ... I'm finding the M43 platform more interesting in 2023, but did dabble very briefly in the X mount in 2020.

I've been using Fuji for many years but its a bit annoying that the used prices have been driven up by the surge in demand.

The Xt series and X Pro series are really great. I love the XT4 and produced great results and a joy to use especially as a travel and all day photography. But for me as a nature and wildlife photography, the offering of the XH2 and XH2s miss the boat. The ergonomics suck. the AF system is good but could be better, but the big let-down is that lens collection. The 150-600 at f8 is a dead horse, the 100-400 needs an urgent update, the 200 f2 is to short and expensive. If Nikon can make a 400f4.5 full frame at the cost they do why can't Fuji do it? or a 150 -500 f5.6 if OM can make a M43 top end lens. Last, the processing of the files is a double process, and the details suffer. But I will keep my Xt4 for travel.

I'm one of them. I bought XE4, used it for 4 months and I love it so much, but eventually have to sell it due to the auto-focus. but I will still looking forward to any up coming small size FujiFilm camera that has improved auto-focus.

Ayo, 35 1.4 too. How do you feel about it? That's what I am going after too. I just got my X-T4 and that's gonna be my first lens I think.

Just picked a X-Pro 2 and I love the images. But I want to know why no one is talking about the awful battery life. I came from Sony so maybe that’s why

Because YT channels promote it. They did the same with mirrorless in general a few years back and sony cams in specific and turned the brand into no1 leaving canikon desperate.
This year its fuji. Ridiculous that 10 yo fuji used cams have doubled their prices used in just a few months! People just want to follow the recent hypes and throw away their money on everything they're being brainwashed with. Funny thing is that they believe that their new cam will make them shoot better photos 😎😂
2020: why dslrs are dead
2021: why every pro chooses sony
2022: why leica will make you stand out from the crowd
2023: why everyones buying Fujis
2024: ?

What lens did you end up using the most with it?

GFX for me homeboy. Never going back.

love that everyone is seeing how beautiful fuji can be!!

Fuji is not a real rangefinder camera, Leica is. Leica is built better and full frame.

I've been eying off the X-Pro 3 for quite some time since my introduction to Fujifilm systems since picking up my XT4 back in January in 2022. Although fingers crossed Fuji will announce a new model for the line. So for now I shall hold off

I love my Fuji camera. I shoot raw+jpeg. I keep the raw files but mostly use the jpegs for sharing and printing. The used markets for the fuji cameras have gone pretty insane in prices. :O

Could you tell me the lens hood brand / type? I really like the design of these hood. Thx!

18mm 1.4 or 33mm 1.4 plus T5 or wait for Pro4? I have a Z6II which is great, but not for street.

"WHY IS EVERYONE BUYING FUJIFILM CAMERAS IN 2023?" Because anyone can afford a Leica Camera...

I've used Nikons for decades and I switched to Fuji mainly because of the size and weight but also the controls on top, the film simulations and the recipes. The lenses are sharp and less costly also.

Xpro2 is even more versatile, having the possibility to switch on and off the LCD screen ;) plus is cheaper

I’d sell my x100v and buy a xpro3 however there hard to find now too
