Another way of shooting is using the electronic viewfinder with image review switched on. Using the screen tilted is another option although this does feel odd at times, and you'll quite quickly want to fold the screen away. You can flip the screen down, press play, and view the photos but this is much slower than on other cameras and does suggest that this is a camera that isn't designed for chimping. With the X-Pro3 the camera is designed to give you an "Instant Street Camera", in the style of an old film camera, and trying to check every shot after shooting can be a challenge. To "chimp" or not? The term chimping refers to the habit of checking the rear LCD screen after every shot to check if you nailed the shot ( Wikipedia). It does use some power, and taking the battery out will result in the screen going off. The rear sub monitor is a low-power unit, that is said to use barely any power, and continues to be displayed even when the camera is switched off. On the back, you’ll notice something a bit different… the screen is now “hidden” in normal use, with a second “ sub monitor” on the back that can be used to show the film simulation type, or the camera settings (shutter, aperture, exposure, ISO, file settings, inc file size, WB, film), it can also display the remaining number of shots possible, as well as remaining battery life. The electronic viewfinder is using an OLED display. The resolution has been increased to 3.69m dots, it also offers a 1:5000 high contrast ratio, with sRGB 97%, 1500cd brightness, and 100fps (with boost mode enabled) with motion blur reduction. It’s a new hybrid electronic/optical viewfinder, it is clearer, with less distortion, and has a higher eye point 17mm, a larger angle of view (27degrees), with newly designed optics (X-Pro2 was 24degrees), all designed to give an improved user experience. The updated Electronic Viewfinder is another key part of the camera, and offers a high resolution of 3.69m dots. The camera no longer has an HDMI port, which may limit the camera's appeal for (more advanced) videographers. The camera weighs 497g (with battery and memory card), measures 140.5x82.8x46.1mm and has a weather-sealed body, with 70 weather-sealed locations. Titanium DURA Silver - also with Duratec (TM) coating.Titanium DURA black - with Duratec (TM) coating.The camera will be available in three variants, including: There's a laser-etched logo, and the use of Titanium means there is a labour-intensive process of manufacture. It's said to be 7x stronger than stainless steel, smooth and the DURA version is scratch resistant. The camera has been “built to last” according to Fujifilm, with a “Pro” body with magnesium alloy shell, and top and bottom plates made from titanium. Using Titanium, this has 50% of the weight of stainless steel and is also said to be less corrosive. With the X-Pro3 there have been a number of updates which have been developed following feedback from X-Pro photographers. As you’d expect from a premium Fujifilm X-Series camera, the sensor is an X-Trans CMOS sensor, which is also designed to give improved colour, lower moire, and noise benefits. The Fujifilm X-Pro3 features the same sensor as the X-T3 and X-T30, with a 26mp BSI CMOS sensor, for not only increased resolution but also improved low-light performance. Choose used and get affordable access to kit that doesn’t cost the earth. Every month, visual storytellers sell more than 20,000 cameras and lenses to MPB. So I am not holding my breath until maybe mid 2023.MPB puts photo and video kit into more hands, more sustainably. Given the Pro3 only 2 1/4 years old (Oct 2019) announcement and available in shipped about Dec of the same year - that's only 2 years. I also expect the pandemic has slowed the development cycles of all electronic products - unless your name is Apple or Tesla who have sufficient in-house resources and swing a big enough bat to get priority on components. The release cycle on the XPro in the 3 to 4 year range about twice that of the XT. It's all speculation, but if the above were to become a reality (not accounting for potential continued supply chain and chip shortage delays), that would mean a X-Pro4 would be released in early 2023. Then (if continued) X-S20, X-E5 and X-T40 another half year later, so within a year of the release of the X-H2. Then I'd expect - in an ideal scenario, see above - X-T5 and X-Pro4 to follow within half a year. It's difficult to anticipate how and when the chip shortage and supply chain issues will resolve.īased on the rumours, the X-H2 should be the first release in what should be the next generation (X-Trans or otherwise) and is rumoured to be announced/released mid-year 2022.
