![]() This is what I wrote in my review:Īfter slightly over a year of usage, I had issues with the flickering LCD screen. But the worst part was when I had a common hardware failure of the aperture ring that cost me a lot of money for repair. It did not happen that often, but it did happen, and what I did was take out the battery and then put back again to make it work. Speaking from my own experience of using the Fuji X100T ( here is my longterm review of the camera), I have my personal experience with freezing up. How can Fuji sell cameras that don't work properly? I don't get it. I did a brief Google search and kept getting tons of results from various forums. It happened in the past with several models, and even after all these years and trying to be a premium brand, Fuji still hasn't fixed this issue. This is a very common issue with Fuji X cameras: Freezing up. Here's a link to the review by Imaging Resource. The benefit of digital is to be able to preview your image on the rear screen. ![]() If someone wants 'pure photography', they need to shoot film not digital. It's obvious that this is a purposely crippled design that makes tripod and gimbal use nearly impossible, and I have no idea for what reason. First of all, why adding a rear LCD screen at all, if you make it nearly unusable? Did Fuji think nobody will use this camera with a tripod or a gimbal? A simple Google search of the X-Pro3 on a tripod exposes this issue very well: The hidden flip-down screen is not only a gimmick, it's a major issue. Somehow Fuji tricked their fans that they have a cheaper Leica, and priced these cameras twice as much as their actual value.Ģ. The X-Pro3 is a major rip-off in my opinion. ![]() There are tons of cheaper crop-sensor cameras that offer the same or more than the X-Pro3. Here are the prices of some full frame cameras that are way better than this camera as of today (prices from B&H): Sony A7iii (1800 USD), Nikon Z6 (1800 USD), and Canon EOS R (1800 USD). There's no way this camera is priced reasonably. The latter two are basically the same camera, just the outer frame is made of titanium instead of magnesium-alloy, so that they can rip off their customers for additional 200 USD. The Fujifilm X-Pro3 comes in 3 different versions and two prices: Black (1800 USD), Dura Black (2000 USD) and Dura Silver (2000 USD). Here I want to break down all the problems this camera has had so far in order to warn you from potential waste of money. The Fuji X-Pro3 is a crop-sensor camera Fujifilm launched 3 months ago (in December 2019) and ever since one issue after another has been reported with this camera.
