Such a nice change to see someone on RUclips that can actually make great images!
Very kind of you Kurt, thank you 👊🏽
great review, storytelling ang gorgeous photos. you definitely sold me the camera!
thank you for watching! Great little camera, I might wait until Fujifilm's X summit later this month before buying it though as they might release X pro4 - but this is a very capable camera nonetheless :)
nice video and review.
so touch to see you included parents in this video.
Thanks a lot :) I’m glad to have included them too
Great stuff mate! Love the snaps and vid!
Thankyou Sanjay! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Most underrated RUclips channel ever. Love your photos, love your content!! Keep it coming man
Thank you Taylor, appreciate your kind words man 👊🏽
So well shot! Loved the video :)
Thank you Army ;)
Great video bro. Well explained, alongside some beautiful imagery
Thank you for watching man 👊🏽
This is the most gorgeous review ive ever seen
Thank you so much for watching :)
Been into the Pro 3 for a while - it really wants to be picked up and used. Did hanker after 5V but like to use different focal lengths. Really nice video - looks like you caught some great memories there. Congrats on the video.
Thank you for watching! I am certainly glad to have the memories captured. And couldn’t agree more about xpro3 wanting to be picked up and used 😊 neat little camera with lots to offer
Nice. Have an X-T4 for function and an X-PRO3 for fun - because it inspires me to go out and have some!
nice that you found a camera that inspires you to go out and have fun! Thanks for watching John
Beautiful shots Sathya!
Thanks Midhun :)
Agreed on the exposure comp. dial. I seem to inadvertently change mine all the time. But, I do use it and don't want to disengage it. Love the Rome photos and your memory making with your family!!!
Thanks for sharing your experience Bill. Glad you enjoyed the images!
Great review
Thanks Ulf! Glad you enjoyed it
Love your color settings. Very film like.
Thank you! I shot this in F-Log and used Filmvision from @serr as a base for colours. Davinci Resolve makes it easier to colour correct and get good colours too :)
@@SathyaPeacock Wow!!! I've never messed around w. F-Log. I need to learn more about how it works some day. Thank you for elaborating. Much appreciated
I really enjoyed your video, great photos, very informative insights about the camera. It's wasn't just another commercial of a gear, but more like a fairytale.
Best wishes from a parisian stranger🙋
Hello Parisian Stranger :) thank you for the kind words, I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
Love mine, looking forward the X-PRO4 if they ever unveil one.
Certainly be interesting to see what they do for next one
Really enjoyed this video as a durablack X-Pro 3 owner myself. I enjoyed your images as well! Definitely agree about the sub-monitor, it's quite annoying that it only works in single point mode. I use it in the fully-zoomed out settings 100% of the time anyways, so it's really a shame it doesn't work on the other modes. But like you, I love it for all the same reasons.
Maybe Xpro 4 will address that sub monitor quirk :) thanks for watching!
what a great video and pics Sathya! also… damn you for making me want to buy an xpro3😂
Thank you! Haha, could be an early Christmas gift to yourself 😅
I have an xpro2 but I really wish this camera had the pro-neg hi simulation like the xpro3. Really like the shots you took in paris!
Thanks Anthony glad you like them
😅😅😅😅😅 my wife is not gonna be happy lol watch me try to get one lol great job sir. Loving the photos. I too like the classic negative.
Haha I take no responsibility 😀
Thumb rest works well for preventing button bumping but can be a nuisance when changing iso/mode dial
Good to know mate. Thanks for watching 👊🏽
My Favorite Camera, Looks do matter 🙂
Hey Preet! haha, glad you agree :)
Satya, loved your pictures. What camera did you use to shoot travel video with your parents ?
Thank you Dinesh! Videos were shot with Xpro3 as well
Great video mate, I hope you had a great time with your olds whilst producing this content.
I am an XT2 shooter but looking to downscale & shoot at a more minimalist approach as I am finding the XT series is almost as heavy as Full Frame with hefty Fujinon Glass zooms attached (NOT that anything is too wrong with that as Fuji weight equals high quality)
The XT series has solved the problem of being a little less bored in the digital space with a slowed down process via it's mechanical dials, it's the main reason I jumped ship from a Canon EOS system of close to 20 years (way too many menus and sub menus via their complex buttons process)
Coming ACROS to FujiFILM has brought me back to my 'happy' place in Photography as it's FILM based fundamentals via both the camera design and excitedly it's Film simulations transports me directly back to my days as a lab rat (Pro Lab printer & dip n dunk film processor)
I too shoot 120mm Film on a Mamiya 645 ProTL to really slow down my thought process yet it is VERY bulky hence why I tend to just shoot landscape work with a tripod & spring cable release (I suspect you know that 'feeling' all to well enough to relate as to why I do)
It's a real shame young people getting into Photography now days skip this traditional process and head directly to a digital format.
Where I am heading with this is I LOVE the Xpro Line and is why I am eagerly awaiting IF Fujifilm are releasing an Xpro 4 and if so if it will be much different in design on the outer shell YET obviously come with upgraded internals such as 40 Megapixel and better EVF, as for AF system I tend to have shot most my subjects using Peak via EVF in manual mode on both XT1 & 2 to again slow down my thought process in compersition, etc. It wouldn't hurt though to have an improved AF for fast moving subjects when required. Anyway having an Xpro 3 or 4 should it come out is where I am now heading rather than upgrading to a XT5 or XH2 only due to having a smaller kit when travelling or street work. I LOVE the XH2 for attaching larger zooms & teles (such as my 100-400) purely for the ergonomics in particular when shooting Weddings / Portraits but those days are getting much closer to being left behind at my spritely age of 47, I just cannot convert to the FULL digital space of Post production. Another reason why I love Fujifilm is no need for much Post work if at all when Fuji's Jpegs are so good dam good! One doesn't need to spend countless hours in Post if wishing to shoot in raw.
Again as you'll appreciate coming from shooting film getting it right 'in camera' there is no need for over compensating in Post.
Anyway just some thoughts I'd share on my love of the Fujifilm eco system.
Hi David, Thanks for sharing your thoughts and practises. Glad that you enjoy Fuji system. Your next upgrades sound exciting, especially XH2 with its bigger grip. Wish you the best! And thanks a lot for watching and taking the time to comment. Have a great day 😊
@Sathya Peacock no worries mate, have a good one! I am planning a weekend in Sydney to visit Fuji House so I can get a hands on of the XH2. Hopefully, I might get some intel on the xpro4 if I can twist an arm or two.
You can get an adapter to use your pentax 6x7 lens with your xpro body.
I’m going to check it out :) thanks for the shout
ohh shit you got another fuji?! 😱
Yes sir! Glad to have 😊
I bought mine (Used) 5 months ago and I enjoy using it however I have stopped folding out the screen now (or only to 90 degrees if I have to) since becoming aware of the issue with the weak connection ribbon btn camera and screen 🤦♂️
I haven’t had a problem with the screen ( although I have registered the camera with Fuji in case I need to send it for repair) but
I did encounter the (other) issue with the shutter release becoming sticky (will it fire once, twice or not at all?) however, I ‘Scienced the shit out of that problem’ and the shutter release is now ‘good as new’.
Hi Colin, Didn’t realise there was a sticky shutter button issue. Glad you were able to fix. Are you willing to share how you did it? So if someone else watching this has a similar issue they can fix it too :) thanks in advance!
And thank you so much for watching and commenting :)
@@SathyaPeacock Alas there appears to be an issue with the shutter release button sticking (according to several Threads)
Fujifilm’s solution is to replace the entire Top Plate, mine was less expensive:
Firstly I tried a few squirts of Servisol Super 10 (electrical switch cleaner) which is what every Ricoh GR user should own a can of!
I allowed it to dry but now the switch was depressed and not moving at all so I concluded that a Dry Lubricant was required:
So I used small amounts of Graphite Powder (courtesy of a pencil and a modelling knife to shave the exposed ‘lead’ onto the top of the shutter button). I used a tiny paint brush to coax the powder to the edges of the button and then screwed in one of the Red/Black accessory buttons and used this to push n pull the shutter release (brush more graphite in place) and generally agitate the button by tapping sides of the plastic button with my finger nail.
10 minutes later I have a freely moving shutter release and I can clearly feel the two stages (half press and full press) of operation.
That was about 6 weeks ago and it has been used for at least four full days of street photography since then and still works like new.
I cannot say if the initial cleaning (with switch spray) was integral to the operation (perhaps if there was some kind of lubricant from the factory which had deteriorated ? Then it might have been a key step!
@@colinthecameraguy thank for sharing that!
Just wondering if you did use the xpro3 to film on the trip as well? 3:23
Hi, yes indeed all the clips from the trip were filmed with the Xpro3
lovely. looks like you'll keep your hair on your head for quite some time.
Haha, albeit all being grey yes I agree with your observation
What video filter?
