X-Pro3 Mirrorless Camera
This past fall, Fujifilm introduced a camera that seemed
to reinforce the reason why the company has kept
the name “film” in its name all these years: The new
camera is the Fujifilm X-Pro3 mirrorless camera,
an interchangeable-lens camera that many have been
waiting for and is based in large part on the company’s
X-T3 mirrorless camera.
The new X-Pro3 comes with a 26-megapixel APS-C
CMOS image sensor but still keeps the old, retro
rangefinder look about it. But at a press event for the
introduction of the new model, Fujifilm execs said that
this is the type of camera that will get you to think like a
film photographer, again.
In part, this is due to several unique features on this
camera, some of which were on the previous model,
the X-Pro2. For example, take the high-quality hybrid
viewfinder: It lets you use the viewfinder as an electronic
viewfinder or like a rangefinder-like optical viewfinder.
This feature was on the previous model, but there
are new features as well: For example, the LCD only
folds down to see the live-view image or to review your
images and video. In other words, it doesn’t swivel like
many mirrorless models. This, Fujifilm says, makes you
slow down and think like a film photographer instead of
always reviewing your images. It will be interesting to see
if this approach gains traction.
The new X-Pro3 includes other enticing features, including:- An X-processor 4, quad-core imaging engine.
- An ISO range of 160-12,800.
- 4K video capture (30 fps).
- Impressive HDR modes.
- Unique multi-exposure modes, which include
Photoshop-like blending modes. - A special-edition “Dura” finish in silver and black.
- A variety of film-simulation modes, including a
Classic Negative Film Simulation mode, which
the company says “is designed to simulate color
negative film.” - And a powerful autofocus-range limiter, great for
street photography.
The camera should be currently available in black as
well as in Dura silver and Dura black.
X-Pro3 List Price: $1,799 (black finish) or $1,999 (in
either Dura silver or Dura black finish)
