Completely agree with everything you said. Coming from the Sony A7iii, I picked this up for fun and I ended up using it 100% of the time. The Sony is just sitting at home. Xpro3 is fast, fun AND professional like you said.

You held my breath all the way! I've had my X-Pro3 since it came out somewhere in Nov 2019. I do a lot and agree of what you emphasize. You re-affirmed what I've held for this x-pro line of cameras (I've had the pro1, & pro2 as well). I've had other Fuji's: X-T3, X-E line, but the Pro lines are my kind of stuff. With the OVF, I can track in real-time moving subjects like planes and birds with ease. I love the conviction in your presentation. Also with the XF35 F1.4 which I sold a few years ago, I am looking to take it back in my lens fleet again. Keep it going!

Man, what a great honest review. Been shooting with one for a month now and pretty much feeling the same as you. Love this camera.

ive had my xpro3 for about a year now. I finally made the full switch from sony to fuji though (a couple weeks ago). Sold my a7r3 and all my sony glass. I agree with everything you said. Not having the rear screen makes me focus so much more on what I'm shooting. None of my clients have said anything negative,

Interesting camera thanks for the insight My last 3 shoots have been in low light, I do a lot of Baptisms and Bar mitzva and in usually dark churches etc, The Xpro 3 would be a great edition but for one small problem,. I have just falling in love with the XT4! And I have realised how important IBiS is for me. It’s a game changer. I use my 90mm F2 a lot it’s most of my creative shots and captures all the intermittent moments and close up head shots. Having IBIs means I can shoot in low light using reasonable iso and shutter combo which results in clean and really sharp images. and I mean 100% of all my images are really sharp. This was Never the case with my older Xt3 I would have to pump up my iso to 6400 or higher to get sharper images but then noise would be an issue. I can’t praise the XT4 any higher. It’s really helped with my image quality a lot.

I have owned and used this camera with the 35 1.4 since release and still love it today. Paired with my X100V the Pro3 is a great addition and love them both. Nice video..

I really like the way you see this camera. Now I just shoot for myself. But same applies, maybe even more so. I still shoot with my X-Pro1, still going strong. If I upgrade, it will be for the better focuss peaking with manual glas, more option to customize your shot in camera (recipies etc) as I like jpeg and close to no editing afterwards. Maybe the better EVF is a nice to have as well. The XP1 is still great today, especially for personal, non paid work. Cheers from Switzerland 🇨🇭

Thanks mate for the honest review. I bought mine yesterday. First impressions, fantastic.

Just recently found your videos, love your overall philosophy on photography. I went from an X-T1 / X-T2 to the X-Pro3 myself. It just made me fall in love with photography again. It's great to hear that I'm not the only person who gets the same feeling from this camera. I still love my X-T2 (X-T1 is sold), but the X-Pro3 is exactly as it was promoted, a "Different Breed".

Thanks for all the vids you make. I fell for the full frame trap as well & your takes are fr the truth ong. Keep staying 100 Dee.

Great talk. X-pro3 makes yo pay attention better to find great shots, and if you are prepared to think about how you wish to shot it gives a ton of options to customize your way through the button program options.

Nailed it, dead center..... I feel exactly the same way. I only have the XT4 (also) because it's far better for video and being able to have 3 batteries in the camera for weddings. But, I LOVE shooting my XPRO3, for everything. Portraits, landscape, night photography (tripods still exist), and as a #2 for weddings.

I have my Xpro3 for about a year now and I love it .awesome camera

I use an XT2 still and TBH the photos it takes are more than enough for my product/food photography the colours i get gives us an edge over the comp and helps us stand of the crowd. ANd the lenses gives us a flavour that just can't be replicated in other systems.I like the "imperfect" look and so it seems our clients do too. And work in jpg as i just can't replicate the look reliably.

Thank you 🙏🏽

I've been debating and researching on the XPRO3. Thanks for the review.

Well said! To add to the phrase you mentioned, “fast is deadly”. I believe fighter pilots use that motto as well

fantastic review

Awesome review Dee. I shoot both film and digi various brands and formats. My fave dige ever is the X100F I shoot a lot of landscapes with it and personally I love the 23mm (35 equiv) lens. However of late I'm looking to upgrade I want an all round stills camera. I don't need Ibis, I don't need video I have a Canon M50 to shoot footage for my channel, I want a photographers camera the X-pro 3 is very appealing to me. Decision almost made cheers.

I have an xt4 but as a Leica film user also, I lust over that x pro design.

Had one for a year now. 'like coming home', exactly. Great review and spot on.

I recently picked an xpro1, now I need the xpro3. and also most people are posting to social media anyway. You are soooo right.

Literally described every detail of what's important to me in a camera and how I shoot - a little scary now that I think about it...

Think that blows me away is how light it is. The xp3 and 23mm f2 is infinitely lighter than my Pentax K1ll with dfa* 50 1.4. It’s like a paper vs an anvil, completely different weights. I’m still struggling to keep my finger off of the front viewfinder but it’s like you said, for someone that started out on film it feels like home. It’s by far the closest to film camera experience I’ve had since converting to digital.

Favorite cam right here

Love your passion :) You almost make me want to sell off my other Fujis for an XPro3. Cheers

My only complaint about the xpro3 is that I cannot shrink the display in the EVF like I can on my XT bodies. Other than that, it’s easily my favorite camera I’ve owned. I set the iso to the front command dial and shutter speed to the rear command dial. When I shoot my kids I keep it in aperture priority. When I shoot families/events I go manual. Love the rear screen design. Another fun aspect is that it allows you to shoot it like a waist level finder and man that’s been clutch to help capture candids and different perspectives

Dope video btw

I have owned the XPro3 since its release. I too often wondered how many people would "get" the XPro3 if they have not ever used a film camera. However, I think people without that background in film would find it worth their while if they would give it a chance. Certainly you have identified its real uses, vs. a DSLR style camera.) My only concern on the XPro3's dials is the exposure compensation dial. It gets moved too easily. I find I have to remind myself to keep track of it before any shooting.Question. What issue did you have with the SanDisk brand?

To who can’t afford an xpro3, buy the xpro2 and put some damn tape on the rear screen or turn it off.

Finally, a video worth watching!! Thank you.

👍👍👍👍

With my current budget I can go with XT2, XT3, XH1, Xpro2. I work primaly with still (70%) and 30% video work. Any recommendation? Thank you

the birds! i am watching this in Minnesota winter lol omg I have 5 more months lol thanx for the information!

Ok, you convinced me. I bought an x-pro3 and I love it! Now, will you buy me a tripod?

Thank you

Would you recommend over an XT5 in 2023/2024? 👀 was thinking of going xt5 bc I can get it new so there better value but if there was an xpro 4 id get it no brainer bc of shooting style.

Thank you for this video. I am laughing at your rant about shooting in the pitch dark. No, I don't shoot in the pitch dark, and if it is low light, it's on a tripod! Hahaha! Thank you for your insight. I am looking at the X-Pro 2 vs the X-Pro 3. X-Pro 2 is more in my budget range and I will end up just turning the LCD screen off. We will see what comes out in the next iteration. Thanks again!

You can setup the camera to show the photo in the EVF or screen after you pressed the shutter button. No need to press play all the time.

I thought the xe4 didn't have a grip? Does this camera have a grip or did you have to add one?

Man I need a step up for my xpro-3 do you think you can make a video for that ?

Good video. Keep it up. What JJC item are you referring to? Now I'm curious...

Crushed it dude!

I own 2 xt5 and a Xh2s I’m waiting for the xpro4 to come out and I will get my first xpro camera I really hope they keep the same screen from the xpro3 on the xpro4

This camera does fascinate me, but being a person who has used 4/3 cameras for 17 years and your question about ibis. It's used for concerts and wildlife in low light with a 70-300. It's fantastic for a few weddings I've been to where they didn't want flash used during the ceremony. I've personally become so dependent on it in many situations that I don't think i would enjoy this camera or x100v but yet I still want one!

How is the relief on the viewfinder for glasses wearers? Thanks!

I'm loling over here that's how my fiance sees photography, more about the specs less about the craft. Im glad you did this video I can't wait buy this camera.

Ok - I will disagree with you about not having IBIS/shooting in low light. As a documentary photographer, both professionally and in my personal work, I shoot at times in marginal lighting at best. When I shot Olympus, that IBIS came into its own in many instances - where I could hand hold down to 1/2 second and get tack sharp images. Having switched to non IBIS bodies (I currently shoot with a pair of XE-2's and fast fuji primes) I've felt a little out of my comfort zone in this area but I've had to tell myself that before I had switched to Olympus in 2015, I also had no IBIS and go back further to my days of shooting film. When did I become so lazy as to rely upon technology is what I"m saying to myself as I'm watching this video. SO maybe I"m not disagreeing with you as much as I thought but I will say, in certain situations, IBIS is not just a gimmick or convenience... it has saved me more times than I can count, but at what point does it become a crutch - and that's the conclusion I've come to as I finish my comment

If it was for specs to price ratio... Everyone should use a Pentax. Totally love your style (of vid and pics ☺️)

love this bro , appropriate your opinion

For someone who enjoys photography but who never leveled up to full frame dslr or mirrorless-would this camera in any way help one excel more in learning the art of photography?

Slow is smooth Smooth is fast +

Thank you for this video. I have bought x-pro 3 6 months ago, and for me it’s a little bit complicated, to get used to it (after canon 600d). So, I doubt that this beautiful camera is right for me, and I thought maybe I should have bought a canon. Me after your video: (Nonono) I will try to adjust this amazing instrument for myself. I will fight for it 😂 thank you Ps sorry for my English, and hello from Moscow

The market made us grazy with upgrading It seems to be there won't be an x pro 4 😊

Ambient light from the stars 😂🤣👏🏻👍🏻🤣 You're so right...people should stop being a numbers' geeks and be photographers instead. ->"You need to stop being sad and be awesome instead!"

Yes, this is the camera for me. No Chimping.

I agree. IBIS is nice for video and panning slow shutter speed shots. Definitely not needed for regular photography. If you need to handhold 1/10th a second your model definitely moved in that time. LOL.

Very well said! Who shoots in the dark? This is another example of people falling pray to manufacturer’s relentless brainwashing marketing. Every “photographer “ is convinces that the camera they bought three years ago can no longer take pictures. Just like that, the once great camera got braindead. Hands in the pocket everyone, time to renew your creativity subscription.

I like your comment... "you can move on...." ( sweeps hand )

Damn bro you may have just sold an xpro3 😳

Don't do reviews bro, You are wrong on so many levels. Who need ibis? No camera for street? You are responsible for your costumer's, they need to look great and if you notice something wrong you need to point that out so that they look as best as possible.

This bull talk about "being in the moment" so overated. and also "the screen will distract you" typical youtuber BS
