Fuji X-Pro3 first impressions

[gryphon1911]

The images I see here from the XPRO3 look great. i look forward to getting my chance to handle it once I get into the local camera store.

Right now, there does not seem enough of an "upgrade" from the XPRO2 for me to jump on one new, although I would love to have the upgraded film simulation engine. I might consider selling the XE3 for the XT30 if I want to do that...but I really like that tiny XE3 and the range finder styled body.

I had my chance to handle the XPRO3 today.

As I had thought, it isi a nice camera, but not enough there for me to desire one over the XPRO2.

Some reviewers had mentioned that it felt more solid than previous iterations. I didn;t really get that, but then again I thought the XPRO2 was pretty solid to begin with.
The Optical EVF is definitely clear to see through, but being a glasses wearer, I cannot see the whole of the viewfinder on. Not a major thing as I can see enough...but i guess I don't get what was trying to be corrected or improved from the XPRO2.

I'm all for the XPRO3, but I believe that I'll pass on it and wait for another 2-4 years and see what surprises are in the XPRO4. To satiate my Fuji GAS, I'll probably be looking closely at the X100V and keep an eye on the used prices of the X100F.

There's always the GFXr.

More than once I have added up my camera gear to buy into this system. It may happen yet. Retirement bonus is around the corner.

Just playing around with XPro-3 while doing my ”social distancing“. Anyone liking HDR. I’m not sure about it yet.
