Why I bought a Fujifilm X-Pro 3 (Not a x100v)

Thinking about buying a Fuji camera in 2023? Well you're not alone. Here's why I did and decided to pick up the Fuji X-Pro 3, plus all my thoughts after using it for a solid month across Japan.

The dials, the size and retro design of the cameras, the SOOC and jpeg recipe are the main pillar of Fuji’s success.

[@gclip9883]

Those were literally the reasons why I picked a fuji for my first camera, and I couldn't be happier. The images look so beautiful out of camera, and the design of it just makes me want to have it with me all the time.

[@paprhat]

I’m a Fujifilm and Canon user. Fujifilm is what keeps my photography sharp and in love with the art of photography. Canon gets work done and is no fuss. Currently using the Fujifilm X-Pro1 as my EDC. Talk about a film-like experience. Love the video!

[@powbobs]

Many people don’t realize that a camera that inspires you and brings you joy in your personal work inspires your client work also.

[@edc5338]

I've used Nikons for decades and I switched to Fuji mainly because of the size and weight but also the controls on top, the film simulations and the recipes. The lenses are sharp and less costly also.

The silver top plate on my XT-4, the retro dials, the old school 1960's / 1970's aesthetic was a head turner for the first day I saw it. I totally agree, the Fujifilm camera lineup are some of the most beautifully designed machines around.

[@aquilaphotofilm]

Fuji cameras are just amazing. I shoot on an R6 and I still love whipping out my old Fuji XH1 every now and then. They feel incredible to use and the image quality from their lenses and sensors is actually AMAZING. Frikken LOVE their lenses. The Fuji is now my travel/every day camera.

[@jordanjoestar8839]

Same, retired my little Sony A6000 that has made me thousands in the last few years. She's my 100% work-only camera (5,000 automotive dealership photos per week). Lots of use and abuse. However, my XT3 is my TRUE camera. The one I trust and enjoy using fully. Im used to the knobs and metal build of my 80s Olympus cameras and the XT3 feels spot on. LOVE IT. Not putting it through the punishment the SONY takes, and does it no problem, but the other is where the heart is.

[@-grey]

I've been shooting Fujifilm for about 8 years, I always buy used, and recently the markets across the whole range have doubled. Back in 2018 you could get and X-E3 for about $400 USD, now you'll be hard pushed to find one under $800. Honestly I don't think you could do anything on a Fujifilm that you couldn't do with a Cannon for example. In fact some of Canon's in-camera look features are better once you incorporate the Camera Window software they give you in the box. Either way, I wish this trend would die because my X-T2 and X70 are on their last legs and I want to replace them, but not for double the price I bought them for years ago. Unfortunately I have too many XF lenses to just jump system, but if I could, I'd go to Canon or Nikon, and Ricoh. They seem to be on trend for innovating more than Fujifilm over the past couple years. Fujifilm has always been slow off the line with that stuff. For example, the X-T5 is the first photo camera to really out perform the X-T2. Everything in the middle was like a mild upgrade to video features like Codecs and IBIS. The AF has barely improved too, leaving them in the dust behind even Panasonic with the new S5II. Not that it's unreliable, but it's definitely at the back end of the pack.

[@demetrio3d239]

Yeah I share some of your thoughts. I've been shooting Fuji since 2015, at that time it was still uncommon to see people using FujiX, the hype right now is a lot, most of my equipment was used and the prices were fairly good, now is crazy. Back in 2019, and even 2020 you could find XT1 with lens included (XF18-55) from 300 to 380 usd. In 2020 I bought my X-E3 with lens included XF23mmf2, from Amazon (open box) for 648 USD. My X-E3 still has some life in it, I hope in 2 years the trend goes to a more normal state if not, I would have to move to Nikon. The good side is that if I sell my Fuji year, I would make a profit.

[@-grey]

@@demetrio3d239 I feel you. My problem is that my X-T2 is absolutely savaged. I bought to be a tank and I think it did a respectable job, but I couldn't sell it in the condition its in. The mechanical shutter has failed, and it randomly turns off when you tilt it slightly. 😂 I have been looking at the Z30 and weighing up whether to get that, wait for the Canon R60, or just buy a Ricoh GRIII and stop pretending I'll use more than one lens.

[@martingreenberg870]

I hear you. I am a big Craigslist purchaser of camera gear. I’ve never purchased a new Fuji. That being said the prices being demanded for the X100V, XE4, and other Fuji bodies is bonkers I know time is on my side. My unsolicited opinion is the Fuji price premium isn’t permanent. Good things come to those who wait. I have more gear than I use so the price premium has caused me to use what I have. The bodies have features I don’t know how to use or access. Until the prices become reasonable again good enough is more than good enough for me. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)

[@k.j.hulander2204]

I still use my X-Pro 1 and it holds up well despite its age and is a great “manual” learner’s camera, especially with the extremely limited autofocus. Would love a new X-Pro or an X100 but can’t quite justify the upgrade yet (for my purely amateur purposes).

[@mikedyson_]

Good stuff man. The photos look so good out of that thing!

[@TKNORTH]

Thanks so much man! 🙌

[@AmarreMoha]

I have been using the xt3 for a little while and i got the xt5 now, not only do fuji cameras look attractive and give that retro film camera look but the versatility, image quality, film simulations but it's a great and compact camera overall

[@ftk-alt]

i got bored of sony, n didnt want to edit my photos when i shoot jpg/raw. so i opt for a smaller lighter fuji. loving it ever since

[@jordanjoestar8839]

I was sick of sitting behind the screen editing raws. After shooting so many 35mm film shots I got used to, and looked forward to using my Olympus OM1 film camera more and more. Using the new Sony felt artificial when jumping over again, even though its a phenomenal camera I dedicate to my daily work. The Fuji JPEGs look how I intentionally edit my photos, so Im looking forward to just running and gunning with it in Manual. Spend more time finding clever compositions and enjoying my day, rather than being chained to my desk with RAW edits all the time.

[@PeterEvansPeteTakesPictures]

I adore the X-Pro3 and X100V, though after three years of use on both I'm having to send them in for repair owing to power issues. They're tremendous cameras, but Fujifilm still have to crack things on the reliability stakes. Anyway, I couldn't imagine shooting anything else now - except a Leica, and I'll never be able to afford one of those. If you're looking at either the X-Pro3 and XE4 as an alternative to the hard-to-find X100V, and really want to use it for lifestyle / gigs / low-fi 80s NY punk & hip-hop fashion aesthetic then pick up the EF-X20. It's a dinky flash that looks pretty cool on top of the camera and blends perfectly, and it pops out a really nice direct flash. Marry that with the under-rated 18mm f/2 and a 35mm f/1.4 and you pretty much have a kit that with a bit of practice can do everything you need. For new Japanese street-shooting ideas, check out Jacob Aue Sobol, Shomei Tomatsu and of course Moriyama. Great video, thanks!

[@TKNORTH]

Thanks so much for comment dude!! Some great tips in there. I’m definitely going to check out some of these photographers too, appreciate that ✌🏼

[@buckleyrobinson7415]

I really enjoy the xpro series. Combine this with a zeiss 32mm and I'm a happy camper.

[@JulianLallo]

Great video mate. Knew nothing about Fuji cameras before this - now I want one 😂

[@HaiTomVlog]

LoL and now you know why Fuji cameras have doubled in price and nobody can find the x100v! 😂 careful bro, Fuji is an addiction 😂

[@PeterEvansPeteTakesPictures]

If you don't mind clunkiness, slowness to focus and lack of wi-fi then the original X100 and X-Pro1 are still very good cameras and pretty cheap second hand. They have a very strong filmic quality. gXACE has some very compelling videos on them. They'll make you tear your hair out if you're photographing kids racing about, but the files they produce are gorgeous if you know what you're doing. :)

[@ricardodurand422]

I love my X100V, and i do agree that it has improved my photography.

[@WraithCalling]

I love my Fuji camera. I shoot raw+jpeg. I keep the raw files but mostly use the jpegs for sharing and printing. The used markets for the fuji cameras have gone pretty insane in prices. :O

I use the xt100 with an 85mm f1.8 xf lens and seriously the shots you can get from this setup are stunning. I bought this setup as a holiday camera I guess and now I use it for everything even put my 5d mk3 aside because the fuji can do it all and can fit in your jacket or a very small camera case/bag

[@mikebaginy8731]

An interesting video which confirms many of my thoughts too. I originally switched from Canon 5D family to the Fujifilm because of the proper aperture ring on the lenses. I use my X-Pro 1 daily and don't feel like switching. Also owned the X100F (also an excellent camera) but sold it as I prefer the X-Pro 1. Only feature I miss is a viewfinder diopter.

[@joaquintrigueros]

Fuji sells dioptered viewfinder rubber rings. I think old Nikon ones fit as well.

Nice video mate and love the clean colours. May I ask what Recipe you are using?

[@johnpouw3352]

Nice to see someone who has deviated from the hype surrounding the X100V. I could totally see myself purchasing an X-Pro 3 or even X-E4 which I see as a far more practical and cost effective option than the X100V. I think the X100V has benefitted most of all from the unaffordability of Leica for most people, clever marketing by Fuji, and the phenomenal amount of KZbinrs jumping on the 'I love the X100V' bandwagon. I have owned one (before the crazy price rise), and though it is a very capable camera and is aesthetically pleasing to use, these are alternatives that can be found at a significantly lower price with other brands/options. You have taken some very nice images which goes to show that it is the photographer, not the gear that takes the photo. Cheers John Pouw, NZ

[@raymeedc]

EyE could care less about video or action photography. That being the case, I own & use a pair of X-E2 Fujis (paired with the 27mm pancake when street shooting), the sweet spot for me.

[@jakesdewet3567]

The Xt series and X Pro series are really great. I love the XT4 and produced great results and a joy to use especially as a travel and all day photography. But for me as a nature and wildlife photography, the offering of the XH2 and XH2s miss the boat. The ergonomics suck. the AF system is good but could be better, but the big let-down is that lens collection. The 150-600 at f8 is a dead horse, the 100-400 needs an urgent update, the 200 f2 is to short and expensive. If Nikon can make a 400f4.5 full frame at the cost they do why can't Fuji do it? or a 150 -500 f5.6 if OM can make a M43 top end lens. Last, the processing of the files is a double process, and the details suffer. But I will keep my Xt4 for travel.

Spec sheets wise they are typical, if not similar, but actually the tweaks and the IQ are far way better in xpro series. Even the latest x100vi can not even match the IQ of xpro1 (not talking about the sharpness nor iso performance) but the true organic image representations. I love the x100 series, for their portability and simplicity. I love the build and the retro look. That's why i have the F, V and VI. but if you are looking for Image Quality, they can not even come close to xpro series renditions. People saying x100 series is better or comparable to xpro series; they are simply a victim of internet sensations.

Thanks for the comment! Definitely not a comparison video - just why I picked it over something like an x100. I think a lot of people obviously pick them up because they are the "trendy" camera, when something like an xpro may be better suited to some. So that's more the point of sharing this one 🙂

[@xmn3]

Why a lot of youtubers are doing this same video with the same title? Are you all being paid by Fuji?

[@TKNORTH]

Can’t speak for others but they clearly don’t need to pay anyone at the moment 😂 extremely hyped, which is why there’s there’s just soooo many videos out there at the moment. As long as people keep watching them and their popularity continues, you’re only going to continue to see more and more videos on them.
