Fujifilm X-Pro3 Camera Specification

The Fujifilm X-Pro3 is a professional-grade mirrorless digital camera designed for photographers who value both advanced technology and classic design. It features a 26.1-megapixel APS-C X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor and an X-Processor 4 image processing engine, providing exceptional image quality and performance. The X-Pro3 is distinguished by its unique hybrid viewfinder, offering both an optical and electronic viewfinder experience, allowing photographers to switch seamlessly between the two for optimal composition and exposure control.

The camera's body is constructed with a titanium top and bottom plate, ensuring durability and a premium feel, while maintaining a compact and lightweight form factor. A notable feature is the hidden LCD screen, which is a 3.0-inch, 1.62-million-dot touchscreen that folds down to reveal a small sub-monitor on the rear for essential shooting information. This design choice encourages photographers to focus more on composing through the viewfinder, emulating a traditional film photography experience.

The X-Pro3 supports 4K video recording at 30 frames per second, alongside Full HD recording with various frame rate options. Its autofocus system is enhanced with phase detection and intelligent face and eye detection capabilities, ensuring accurate and fast focusing even in challenging lighting conditions. With ISO sensitivity ranging from 160 to 12,800, expandable to 80-51,200, the X-Pro3 performs well in diverse lighting environments.

Connectivity options include Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, allowing for seamless image transfer and remote camera control via the Fujifilm Camera Remote app. The camera also features dual SD card slots for extended storage and in-camera film simulation modes that replicate classic Fujifilm film stocks, enhancing creative possibilities. The Fujifilm X-Pro3 is a blend of modern innovation and traditional photographic aesthetics, catering to discerning photographers.
