Trying out X-Pro3

Working from home and still confined, there is not much spare time for photography. The upside is that instead of spending 2 hour per day commuting, and with the days getting longer, once I finish work I can go out near my place and take some photos. I am very glad to live 5 minutes from the beach, walking time!

Back in 2012 - 2013, when I first tried Fuji X, the X-Pro1 bought used was one of the cameras I tried initially. Sure it was quirky, but it was great fun to shoot with. I was very curious with the X-Pro3, and fortunately I managed to borrow one for a few days, just to try out.

In my opinion, it feels like a well matured and developed camera, similar to the evolution that the X100 series has went through. One can see the attention to detail. A more detailed account is here:


In a nutshell, I like the camera a lot. Some photos below - disregard the XPro2 in the exif, it is there because I process the RAFs via IXT, where I change the camera tag to fool my LR version.

Regards.

What is your question? I’m unclear.

You liked the XPRO1. Are you asking if you will enjoy thee XPRO3? Are you asking for permission to purchase it?

Much has been written about the XPRO3. Specifications. The screen. The sensor. Much to like. Accompanying lens. A competent body.



Should you purchase one? Yes. I have one and it’s fun. Love the images. I enjoy spending other people’s money. Unfortunately, purchasing an XPRO3 won’t make you a better photographer. If that was the case, more people would have bought one.

Have fun with your new camera. Please share some of your new images.

Very strange response. OP clearly isn’t asking any question and is just sharing some thoughts on the camera, I think that’s still allowed?

Actually, members sharing thoughts on cameras and other gear can be much more interesting than just the standard question <-> answer routine! So I'd say: yes, definitely allowed unless one of the MOD's tells us otherwise!

The camera is beautiful, but the size is big for me.

Wonderful blog! Thanks for sharing all those beautiful pictures of your country. I love the vertical shots.

And I discovered the section with X100V pictures - stunning. ...Fuji gear acquisition syndrome... here we go again lol. Although I know well it's not (only) the camera.

Thanks.

Nice blog with lovely images, thanks for sharing. Very nice X100V images, I also have this camera and love it, will also be ordering the X Pro 3 in a couple of weeks. I also have Lumix G9 but simply love the Fuji analog interface.
