Re: Fair trade? X100V / XPro3

I had the X100V and have the X-Pro3 and the XF 23mm f1.4 LM WR.

The X-Pro3 is made to a higher standard and you can feel this when using both cameras. The dials feel more robust on the X-Pro3 and the ergonomics are superior. When it comes to the lenses, the XF 23mm f1.4 LM WR is optically superior to the lens on the X100V and has a quicker and quieter AF motor.

Saying all of the above, the X-Pro3 setup will undoubtably be larger, though that didn’t bother me as I found that i needed a bag to carry both cameras anyway. I sold the X100V as it just didn’t feel as nice to me in the hand. It’s closer in build to the X-E4, which isn’t a bad camera either, but isn’t on the level of the X-Pro cameras IMO.

Honestly, if it was me I would bite their hand off for that trade. The X-Pro3 set up is superior in every way other than size.

Just to add, you have to be sure you like the hidden LCD. Some people just cannot get used to it, but for me it is by far my favourite rear LCD implementation. I only use the rear LCD for waist level shooting and its safely hidden when not in use.
