The Fujifilm X-Pro3 is a 26 megapixel mirrorless interchangeable lens camera built around a clever optical / electronic viewfinder and designed to look like a classic rangefinder.
This, the third iteration of Fujifilm's first X-mount camera gains titanium top and base plates but the most noteworthy feature is an LCD panel that faces the back of the camera and needs to be flipped down to use it. The viewfinder and rear screen are the main distinctions between this and the similarly-specced X-T3.
A low-resolution status panel on the back of the camera speaks to the underlying ethos of the camera, which we'll look into in more detail on the next page.

Shooting with the X-Pro3
The X-Pro3's design pushes you to shoot with the optical finder or with the camera at waist level. We found both methods to be limiting and engaging to different degrees.
