3:41 Actually, X-Pro1 had a 16MP sensor. Fuji's older X100 (original) camera had a 12MP sensor, but it was a regular Bayer pattern sensor, not an X-trans. 8:42 Have you tried switching "RELEASE/FOCUS PRIORITY" in "AF MF" menu to "FOCUS" instead of "RELEASE”? If you haven't done that already, it may improve focus accuracy.
Thanks for sharing. Great photos and a good discussion on the X-Pro 1 vs the 3. I shoot Lumix myself but recommended the X-Pro 1 to my wife back in the day when it first came out (she was still shooting film back then). I adore the colors out of that early sensor, and I love the shutter sound too. Jan.
agree the x-pro 1 is still a very capable camera in 2021, I have the XH-1 and love it but I always drop back onto my Pro-1, i take my time with her and slow myself down and always seem to get amazing results, there is no doubt its was horrible before the firmware upgrade and I use it with the 60mm Macros original lens which delivers for me, its all subjective, just enjoy shooting. Go well
Love my XPRO1 and will never part with it. Use with Carl Zeiss 35mm and Helios 44m-2 and SOOC JPEGs are insanely good. Also still using the XT1 and 18-55 & still blown away by the Jpegs again...... don't want or need more mps!
I have the xt-1 also and I agree with you wholeheartedly. I've considered picking up an x-pro 1. How does the ebf on the x-pro 1 compared to that on the xt-1? Also are you able to transfer your images to be out the Wi-Fi app to your phone with the x-pro 1? Enjoy your Fujis!
@@muatao9943 sorry but unsure what 'ebf' stands for so unable to comment. Also the XPRO1 doesn't have wi-fi but never used on any of my previous camera's, (probably coz' I'm 'old school' and tbh that's the awesome thing about the PRO1..... don't chimp on the rear screen and wait til you pop the sd card into your pc and be amazed!) Just got back from the Isle of Wight with just my PRO1 and kit lens and really chuffed with the images I captured https//www.instagram.co/primecutpics if you're interested 😁 have a great weekend 🙏
Presumably you have discovered the colour chrome effect setting under the IQ menu? When I first shot the X Pro3 I was a bit disappointed by the colours compared to my old X T1, but setting the colour chrome effect to strong sorted the jpeg's for me. Much better colours, especially the reds. For colour work I uses mostly Provia with colour chrome effect on strong, works for me!
Do you think Fujifilm can fix some of these "negatives", such as the focus speed, with firmware updates? You'd think by now they would have addressed the issues you have identified. Note, I own the XPro-3. I'm a Fujifilm fan, but from what I've read no Fujifilm camera competes in focus speed with Sony's offerings. I've owned Sony also. PS. You got a great deal on the Dura coating!
Thanks Bill, loving the dura silver I must say! I definitely think Fuji can fix focus speed and accuracy with firmware updates. I think in today's technology it's all about algorithms. The phase detect system on the xpro3 is fantastic, I just think their algorithm is not up to date with sony and canon. I still do love my Sony and use it for work because it just delivers, and I also love the FF look. But prefer using my xpro3 for sure. Sony being an innovative technology company has access to things that Fuji doesn't like phones, playstation etc. But Fuji has a richer history with cameras, so they get a lot of things right that Sony doesn't in my opinion.
The XPro3 is amazing and the video is great. With that said, I’m getting tired of reviews that keep discussing video. If you want a camera for video than get a one. The majority of people that own this camera use it for photography.
Thought provoking video. I think everyone develops their own way of shooting with the X-Pro cameras. I don't use the screen on my X-Pro1 except if I'm trawling through the menu. I'm also leaning more towards manual focus using third party or 'vintage' lenses. The Fuji lenses I have are fantastic and I love the results they produce, but they don't improve the experience of creating the image in the way that a manual focus lens does. Just my personal opinions.... On my X-T20 I use the AF all the time unless 'forced' to manually focus....
Hi Stevie. I’m very curious to try old manual lenses as I understand the feeling of creating something and working to achieve your goal. I might look into it, though right now I am really craving for a wider lens, a 24 or 28 equivalent. Any recommendations for a vintage wide?
@@Gmakamian Hey Greg. I've given up thinking about vintage for the wide end of things. The crop factor is against us. There is probably some lovely Leica glass but it would always be out of my budget anyway. I'm looking at maybe a TTarisans 17mm or Laowa 15mm. Something along those lines....
I’d love your thoughts on something. I’m a professional headshots and portrait shooter, studio and natural light. I have an XT3 and a x100V, and I’ve fallen in love with the rangefinder style of the X100. So much so that I’m considering selling the XT3 to get the XPRO3. I’d love your thoughts on that. I actually love the idea of the “hidden” LCD, and I love the connection with my subject when I look through a rangefinder style camera. It’s just intimate and I feel the camera get out of the way. It feels good. I should mention that I have no problem with the XT3, it’s great and reminds me of the old Nikon FE that I trained on as a teen. I just feel a deep connection to rangefinder style. I trained on film, shooting since I was 13. I’m 51 and feel like the XPRO is calling to me, but unsure how it is for portraits. Would you feel confident to have the XPRO as a main portrait and studio camera? I also very occasionally shoot family portraits, engagement sessions and the very occasional small wedding. My work is all about people and human connection to clients. Thanks for any thoughts! I trust your expertise.
Hi Donavan. If we are strictly talking about photography, there is nothing that the XT3 can do that the Xpro3 can't. Although I recently sold my Xpro3, I would 100% recommend the camera if you enjoy the rangefinder style. And yes, there is something special about holding the xpro line (whether that's the looks of the camera or the way it feels). I definitely would say go for the Xpro3. The reason I sold my Xpro3 is because I have no problem shooting my Xpro1. Yes it's much slower and the EVF sucks, but that doesn't bother me for what I use the camera for, and it makes 0 financial sense to have the Xpro1, Xpro3 plus a Sony alpha system.
I’m from Taiwan and I just bought a 2012’s XPRO1 for my first FUJI camera. I want to ask your setting for XPRO1⋯which simulation and adjustment did you set, the color is sooo great
And at the half of the video and commenting while watching this. :) great review, a very honest from a user perspective! I've own this for a year now and it's exactly the most fun camera I've eber used! :) great photos youve shot with this!
Haha thank you brother. Yes the Xpro1 and Xpro3 are both incredible cameras. Honestly the negatives are nitpicking because the user experience and IQ is fantastic. Thanks for the compliments, and keep shooting!
You mentioned color cast being an issue with the Xpro3, vs. the Xpro1, but I don't see any issues with any of the photos you've posted. Absolutely gorgeous images throughout this video. Love your style and processing. Somehow, your images have a sort of Tarantino vibe about them. Beautiful work.
Hi Matthew, thank you for your compliments. I'm very particular when it comes to color, and any camera can produce great colors once edited. My complaint was more of the SOOC colors. The Xpro1 auto-WB and how it renders colors to me is far superior than any of the modern fujis. I also find editing the files much easier to get them where I want. Again, if you're editing and spending time on working the files, then there shouldn't be any major issues. I have the same complaints with my Sony system, where the colors are not that nice straight out of the camera. Hope that helps!
Nice comparison! Just throwing out there that your XPro1 also has dual magnification. I use this feature all of the time when shooting with my manual M-mount lenses. You just have to hold the EVF/OVF lever to the side for a few seconds when on OVF mode and it'll switch. The camera also does this automatically when you mount specific X-mount lenses to maximize your field of view. I think this is the feature you are alluding to with the that the Xpro3 omitted.
Hey Makoto! Yes you are absolutely right, I completely forgot about that since I don’t use it as I use only use the 35f2. Good point. I am getting more and more used the xpro3 and I’m loving it though I must say!
@@Gmakamian Glad to hear that the Xpro3 is growing on you. As much as i want to try one myself, i think id rather first expand my lens kit. The 23f2 and 35f2 are definition in my list. Cheers!
You are not alone. X-E2 produces my favorite colors of any Fuji. X100V is close but I will never sell my X-E2.. ‘handed it down’ to my son so I still have access to it.
Nice video Greg. I had watched your X-Pro1 video before buying mine 9 months ago :) Then, I also started youtube and 3 days ago I shared my X-Pro 1 in 2021 video. What a coincidence :D
Have to ask.. regarding the focus issues.. are you in focus or release priority? If using BBF/AF-C it often defaults to release priority which will reduce hit rate.
Have you considered a x100v? Perfect for street, smaller and lighter. You are right about the AF. It is not very precise. Have had 4 Fujis now. All the same. The AF says ok in the viewfinder, but it is not in 50 percent of the cases. My biggest complaint with the x system... But great cameras indeed.
I did consider the x100v for a long time but eventually went with the pro because I’m not a big fan of 35mm equivalent. I prefer 24-28mm and 50mm. Glad to hear I’m not the only one disappointed with the AF. Either way, at the end I love the look fuji gives so thats what matters most for me. Hopefully they can improve their algorithms in the future.
@@Gmakamian yes I know. 35mm is not for everyone. The 28/50 combo is a great choice if you will carry two lenses. I got the x100v, and have both the x-pro2/35mm and the Leica Q. Too many choices. Should I only have one - the Leica Q would stay! Such an amazing camera. But the x100V has something to it though... Take care.
The x-pro 1 and other cameras of the x-trans 1 and 2 generation has a jpg - rendering which is more punchy in the contrast and clarity. If you give the blacks +1 or +2 it will look more like the older cameras and a little contrast helps with the sharpness as well. If you have a little patience you will get much closer in general. But don´t touch the clarity option. It will create that stupid black-out after a photo.
I think you should consider the x pro2 I started w xt2. Got the pro2. Loved it. Eventually damaged and sold it. Went back to the xt2 which some say still had faster af. Bought the x pro3 but I missed the screen. Right now I have the t3, pro3 and pro2 again. In daylight with the f2 primes there's no difference in AF At night there is an improvement with focus acquisition but only in low light conditions. I still use the x pro2 at night because the street/shop lights provide plenty of light for the f2 focus acquisition I'm using the t3 for low light/f1.4 lenses. About ready to sell the x pro3
Hi Allen, I’m sure I would be as happy with the x-pro2 as I am with the x-pro3, but since I have the pro3 there’s no point for me to sell it to move to the pro2. My friend uses the pro2 with the 16 1.4 and he’s really happy with it as well.
LOL, the X-Pro1 has 16MP sensor (X-Trans v1) - not 12MP (X100 classic has 12MP Bayer sensor). Nice video otherwise. PS. If 30% of your shots is OOF, you're doing something wrong; it's not the camera's fault.
Yes you are right it's 16mp. I got confused from my OG Sony A7S which was 12mp. Maybe I am doing something wrong with AF, but either way hit rate is too low compared to my Sony which is a bit disappointing but I can tolerate it for the experience it provides.
Hi Greg, I really like your videos! Just wondering do you have any recommendations on where to get a good condition X-pro 1 nowadays? I live in New York btw. Thank you so much!
Hi there, thank you so much. Did you try ebay? Some good ones always come up. Maybe check also B&H. If you call and ask for one they might be able to find you one :)
Hi Joseph thank you. I have a video on this channel on how I edit, you can watch that. Although I changed some things since that video, you will understand my thought process. Thanks again!
Great video, Greg. I've been shooting film almost exclusively (35mm and medium format) for over 8 years. At the same time I always had Nikon digital cameras as well but I never liked the photos as much as I liked the film photos I took, I always felt they were an ok "plan b" cameras. Lately I've been so occupied with my work that developing and scanning film became a painful task so I started to look for digital options, just for the sake of saving time. I immediately felt in love with the XPRO line and finally bought a black XPRO 3. I've been shooting with it for 3 months now and I absolutely love it and I regret not buying it before. Coming from film, for me using this camera it is like an "upgraded" experience... it's fun, quick, the quality of the camera and photos is outstanding and the "feel" you get out from this sensor is film-like. Compared to the Nikon's I own in the past, this camera's noise is grain-like and even shooting with a very high ISO they render noise in a much pleasant way. This camera easily is one of the best I ever owned and, a great benefit as well, is that I am able not only to use the magnificent Fuji glass I own, I also use some Nikon lenses that renders amazingly well on this camera. Also, manual focus on these + the focus peaking option makes it super fun and fast to use. I absolutely love this camera.
Hi buddy, I’m so happy to hear that you love the camera. I absolutely love the camera as well, it’s so much fun to shoot and yes the quality is outstanding. I have never shot film, though I love looking at film photos, so I don’t have the experience to compare. All I know is that fujifilm has a very different look than all the full frame cameras I have tried, and I really love it. Keep shooting!
Ps have you tries the 18mm f 1.4 R LM WR? Great combo with this camera! I’m loving this combo. I sold all my Sony gear as I gave up pro work and the bought back into fuji for fun. Your images look good btw what are the film sims your using?
I was thinking of trying out the 18 1.4 but on some fb forums I read people saying it makes the camera too front heavy. I use the xpro for street so I like to use only small lenses. The lens does look super sharp though. I edit all my photos in LR. But for casual shooting I’m using the Kodachrome V2 recipe from fuji x weekly. Thanks!
thank you for your opinions, i really liked your images, i have x-e4 now and i really love this camera, for my professional work i still use my 6d and L glass, so e4 is only for personal work and fun, im considering now selling e4 to get xpro1 to save money, do you think theres huge difference in terms of IQ ?
In IQ you won't see a big difference no. Color output is different, some prefer the older sensor and some the newer. For me, I prefer the older sensor in terms of color. But be prepared, focus is slow compared to e4.
@@regularplayer1 Focus peaking is only in white color and not very good. The EFV is very low resolution. You will not like it compared to the e4. If you are focusing on static images then it should be fine, but anything moving is not a good idea.
Agree with everything you said and I shoot A7iii for work and XE3 for street photography and fun. Just FYI I often use the electric shutter for silence shots on my A7iii
@@Gmakamian elec shutter at night definitely bands. 1 trick to reduce banding with elec shutter is take advantage of high iso performance. Go minimum 800 or 1600 to crank the shutter speed. Shooting the a7iii is like trying to shoot a laptop lol... but in the end I've decided that coming home with the shots I want makes me happier than enjoying shooting all day and my system fails me. Not a fan of the weight of the a7iii... but my GRii or a6500 fills that gap. Typically the 28mm f/2 is on my a7iii so it's pretty compact. I sold my xt3... but I will someday grab an xe3 for manual focus Minolta glass. Great video sir! @freshouttafocus
Personally, I would jump in with the X-Pro2. It's far faster and more sophisticated than the X-Pro1; meanwhile, the X-Pro3 is not a huge advance over the X-Pro2. And I would actually rank image quality and high ISO performance on the X-Pro2 as superior to either the 1 or the 3. btw > 16MP in the X-Pro1.
Unfortunately haven’t used the xpro2. My friend owns it and he loves it. They’re all great cameras but good for different reasons. Xpro1 obviously cause its super cheap and IQ is fantastic. Xpro2 is better built with better AF. Xpro3 has the blocked screen and I guess slightly better AF. IQ wise honestly I don’t think you will see a big difference. The xpro3 generally has a more modern cleaner look and the xpro1 and xpro2 slightly more filmic look I would say. Beat bang for buck would probably xpro2 if you can find a good deal.
@@Gmakamian Some questions… 1) can you get all the same film simulations on X-Pro1 as the latest X-Pro3? 2) Are film simulations applied in camera on X-Pro1 same as X-Pro3 so what you see is what you get? 3) for street use the X-Pro1 AF seems fine do you agree? Have you lost any shots with it?
The Durasilver or Durablack is $200 more than the standard black. not $500 and is a far superior camera to any of previous XPros. All are great cameras. The XPro3 is far superior to anything else in its price category. Love mine. Been shooting mostly street and eventful over a year and can't find a flaw.
Hi bud, honestly just enjoy what you have. I used to be obsessed with having lenses for different things and ended up selling everything. I only have a wide and a 50 now. Having lots of lenses just caused more stress and slowed me down.
Thank you for this video! Very interesting for me. I shoot street with the cheap and terrific fuji xm1 and looked at the xpro 1 and 3. I think you helped me to save a lot and I will be able to get new strings to my double bass 😆
really 30% misses focus ? mine misses 5% max. Basically, it rarely misses.... if it locks, I am always confident it will nail it... I wonder what is happening with yours ? Let me check mine with XF23 f/2 right now
Yep I would say about 30%. Not sure why. I also noticed it’s like that when my focus is on mid-distance subjects like 5-6meters. Anything in the 1-4 meter range seems to focus much better. Maybe it’s the lens, I’m not sure.
@@Gmakamian I just went outside with the XF23 f/2 and took 20 photos... all in perfect focus... the only ones that are a little low contrast are close up wide open... and that's a known weakness of that lens... focus was 1 - 10 feet.. what lens are you using ? I was using EVF... I don't trust OVF close up. I also have power on boost.
Could the sharpness be because of he extra resolution? Meaning that at lower shutter speeds the camera shake will be seen due to the resolution. And could this be fixed with increased shutter speeds? Just a thought.
It’s actually miss focus so no nothing to do with shutter speed. However using single autofocus has greatly improved my hit rate. Continuous auto focus is not quite on Sony level.
I can definitely understand the frustration. For me the hardest part of the screen is getting vertical shots. And likewise, the xpro1 will stay with me forever!
@@Gmakamian Greg took the Xpro1 on my honeymoon with the 56 1.2 and travel tripod. Took the most epic pics of my wive and I all over the resort in Jamaica. The rendering was exactly what my eyes saw. To this day it’s like the images capture every second of the trip. Brings us right back to the honeymoon every time we see the pics. Also like you said, just plain fun to shoot with too.
@@rumporridge1 that’s what it’s all about man, that makes me so happy! I feel the same with my wife, have taken so many photos and they’re some of our greatest memories!
Hi Greg, your video about the Xpro1 last year was one of the reasons I bought one! Love it. Got it with the 18/2 on it, but I am a 50mm shooter from film days so I am getting one of the 35mm XF lenses. Leaning towards the newer f2 due to that bit faster AF and near silent operation. The older 1.4 does seem very noisy and quite slow on the XPro1. Do you like it on your XPro1? Btw the XPro1 also has the 2 magnifications in the OVF, same as the XPro2. I was also thinking about the Xpro3 before buying the XPro1, but couldn‘t justify the price. And as a shooter who doesn’t need super fast AF and huge menu options I couldn‘t see much benefit in the XPro3. So far glad I opted for the XP1. Somehow it doesn‘t feel like a tool rather a good old compagnon sharing a journey with. I like that feeling a lot. Looking fwd to your next video! Cheers from Switzerland
Hi Michel! That’s so nice to hear and I’m so glad you love your Xpro1. I used the 35F2 only on the Xpro1 and it works great. I haven’t tried the 35F1.4. From everyone I have spoken with they all recommend the f2 version for the xpro1. And you made the right decision going for the Xpro1 if you don’t need fast AF. Honestly, the Xpro3 has many welcome advancements but image quality is not one of them. I would say get the 35f2!
@@Gmakamian cheers Greg. Thx for coming back! There is a used one locally for 250.- (about same in USD) good deal I‘d say) Btw that silver on the XPro3 looks great!!
@@Gmakamian only downside of the XP1 is focus peaking. Very weak and just the white color. Hard to get accurate focus. So I don’t use MF lenses anymore. Pitty. Cheers
@@Gmakamian the 35 F 1.4 actually works better on the X Pro 1, in terms of output. Both were launched simultaneously. The 35 F2 works better with second generation X. That’s my own personal take.
Thanks for sharing this video. I thought it was very honest and made a lot of good points. I currently own an xt-1 and an xt2. I still keep thinking about the xpro3. I do like the rangefinder aesthetic. However, there were a few things that kept me from trading in my xt2 for the xpro3. I find with my xt-1 that the white balance is quite accurate as well. And I do enjoy the warmer jpegs that you get with the xt-1 and the xt2 as compared to the xt3 and the xpro3. I wonder what you might have thought had you got an X pro2 instead. I find that that it's 24-megapixel sensor presents a nice middle ground between the older sensors and the sensors that are found in Fujifilm newest X line of cameras. Have a good weekend. Cheers!
Hi Muata, have a good weekend as well! My friend owns the Xpro2 and I tried it a few times and it's a great camera. You are absolutely right that it strikes a good balance between the generation of Fuji cameras. Honestly, I would be happy with an xpro2 or an xpro3. I generally shoot raw so I can always tweak things. However, the jpegs are a different story. Either way, I am still very happy with the xpro3. I'm lucky enough to have both xpro's and choose them for different applications. Keep shooting bud!
Thanks mate. I haven’t tried the XT4 so I have no idea how it would compare, but the A7iii only has 8bit video so you can’t really push the edit. With Sony you have to dial in the WB well for it to give a good color. But yes sharpness is it’s strong suit.
@@Gmakamian 8 bit is fine imo for most uses. I was thinking about it the other day and I really wonder just how much the end viewer can tell with 8 bit vs 10 bit. Maybe more so for us who are looking closer.
The difference I believe is when you are grading. If I push the A7iii file just a little bit, it falls apart very quickly. For minimal edits, yes not much of a difference!
It still baffles me that the xpro series is $500 more even if they have less features than the xt. I'm guessing its nostalgia that they are banking on.
I find WB on my X-Pro1 always a bit off to the warm side, while X-Pro3 always gets it right😅 Maybe there's a reason you've got a free upgrade?🤣 Just kidding😉 As for AF, people saying it's bad usually means it's not the BEST, which is quite different. I used many cameras, and never felt that AF is bad on X-Pro3, just dig through settings thoroughly, or, again, maybe there's a reason you've got a free upgrade?😂
Hey bud, that is very strange because I would say the complete opposite regarding auto white balance. I find my xpro1 much cooler and the xpro3 much warmer. Yes, I agree that the AF is not bad. Maybe my wording wasn't the best. However, the issue still is that the AF is unreliable, because even when it says it's in focus it's not. Who knows? Maybe I did receive a busted camera!
@@SergioMusel yep, I've set everything to 0/0. That is very strange! I tried them both in quite a few lighting conditions, and xpro3 usually comes out 500-1000 kelvin warmer.
I've had all three cameras and the xp3 is by far a faster camera than the xp2 or xp1. I loved the xp2 but will never look back. Color is amazing on the xp3 and simulations are the best of any camera. Menu, exp comp dial, EVF/OVF are vastly improved, etc..It's great folks are attached to the older models, but to say they perform better than the xp3 is just wishful thinking. Auto focus is hands down better than the other two cameras. Maybe you got a bum camera, but you spent the whole time complaining about the xp3 and how you like the xp1 better, but still say the xp3 is a fun camera to use. ?? This review doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
Your comment is narrow minded. You value certain things which make the C PRO 3 better for you. There are things about the X PRO 1 that make it better for me including the fact that it makes me slow down. What has a camera being fun got to do with it? The Fuji Instax can be fun. Does that make it better than my X-T3?
I had the Fuji X-Pro 1 with the 18-55 and compared it to the Olympus E-M5 Mark II. The M5 makes much sharper photos. The JPEG film simulations are very strange; The Olympus colors are much more realistic. The Fuji couldn’t catch me despite the hype. I have Canon cameras as well. There is no comparison I prefer much more the Canon.
The output from the modern Olympus line - forensic and clinical, but I can understand why some people like this. On the other hand the Fujifilm rendering seems quite unique. Two totally different approaches.

3:41 Actually, X-Pro1 had a 16MP sensor. Fuji's older X100 (original) camera had a 12MP sensor, but it was a regular Bayer pattern sensor, not an X-trans.
8:42 Have you tried switching "RELEASE/FOCUS PRIORITY" in "AF MF" menu to "FOCUS" instead of "RELEASE”? If you haven't done that already, it may improve focus accuracy.
Yes you are correct and thanks for the tip, I’ll try that out!

The XPro3 is amazing and the video is great. With that said, I’m getting tired of reviews that keep discussing video. If you want a camera for video than get a one. The majority of people that own this camera use it for photography.
Thought provoking video. I think everyone develops their own way of shooting with the X-Pro cameras. I don't use the screen on my X-Pro1 except if I'm trawling through the menu. I'm also leaning more towards manual focus using third party or 'vintage' lenses. The Fuji lenses I have are fantastic and I love the results they produce, but they don't improve the experience of creating the image in the way that a manual focus lens does. Just my personal opinions.... On my X-T20 I use the AF all the time unless 'forced' to manually focus....
Hi Stevie. I’m very curious to try old manual lenses as I understand the feeling of creating something and working to achieve your goal. I might look into it, though right now I am really craving for a wider lens, a 24 or 28 equivalent. Any recommendations for a vintage wide?
@@Gmakamian Hey Greg. I've given up thinking about vintage for the wide end of things. The crop factor is against us. There is probably some lovely Leica glass but it would always be out of my budget anyway. I'm looking at maybe a TTarisans 17mm or Laowa 15mm. Something along those lines....
I love the colour out of this Camera... which recipes did you use?
I’d love your thoughts on something.
I’m a professional headshots and portrait shooter, studio and natural light. I have an XT3 and a x100V, and I’ve fallen in love with the rangefinder style of the X100. So much so that I’m considering selling the XT3 to get the XPRO3. I’d love your thoughts on that. I actually love the idea of the “hidden” LCD, and I love the connection with my subject when I look through a rangefinder style camera. It’s just intimate and I feel the camera get out of the way. It feels good.
I should mention that I have no problem with the XT3, it’s great and reminds me of the old Nikon FE that I trained on as a teen. I just feel a deep connection to rangefinder style. I trained on film, shooting since I was 13. I’m 51 and feel like the XPRO is calling to me, but unsure how it is for portraits. Would you feel confident to have the XPRO as a main portrait and studio camera? I also very occasionally shoot family portraits, engagement sessions and the very occasional small wedding. My work is all about people and human connection to clients.
Thanks for any thoughts! I trust your expertise.
Hi Donavan. If we are strictly talking about photography, there is nothing that the XT3 can do that the Xpro3 can't. Although I recently sold my Xpro3, I would 100% recommend the camera if you enjoy the rangefinder style. And yes, there is something special about holding the xpro line (whether that's the looks of the camera or the way it feels). I definitely would say go for the Xpro3.
The reason I sold my Xpro3 is because I have no problem shooting my Xpro1. Yes it's much slower and the EVF sucks, but that doesn't bother me for what I use the camera for, and it makes 0 financial sense to have the Xpro1, Xpro3 plus a Sony alpha system.
hello greg thank you for this video I wondered if there was really a difference between the two boxes
I’m from Taiwan and I just bought a 2012’s XPRO1 for my first FUJI camera. I want to ask your setting for XPRO1⋯which simulation and adjustment did you set, the color is sooo great
And at the half of the video and commenting while watching this. :) great review, a very honest from a user perspective! I've own this for a year now and it's exactly the most fun camera I've eber used! :) great photos youve shot with this!
Haha thank you brother. Yes the Xpro1 and Xpro3 are both incredible cameras. Honestly the negatives are nitpicking because the user experience and IQ is fantastic. Thanks for the compliments, and keep shooting!
You mentioned color cast being an issue with the Xpro3, vs. the Xpro1, but I don't see any issues with any of the photos you've posted. Absolutely gorgeous images throughout this video. Love your style and processing. Somehow, your images have a sort of Tarantino vibe about them. Beautiful work.
Hi Matthew, thank you for your compliments. I'm very particular when it comes to color, and any camera can produce great colors once edited. My complaint was more of the SOOC colors. The Xpro1 auto-WB and how it renders colors to me is far superior than any of the modern fujis. I also find editing the files much easier to get them where I want. Again, if you're editing and spending time on working the files, then there shouldn't be any major issues. I have the same complaints with my Sony system, where the colors are not that nice straight out of the camera. Hope that helps!
Great comparison video, lots of helpful info here! Love the x pro 1
Nice comparison! Just throwing out there that your XPro1 also has dual magnification. I use this feature all of the time when shooting with my manual M-mount lenses. You just have to hold the EVF/OVF lever to the side for a few seconds when on OVF mode and it'll switch.
The camera also does this automatically when you mount specific X-mount lenses to maximize your field of view. I think this is the feature you are alluding to with the that the Xpro3 omitted.
Hey Makoto! Yes you are absolutely right, I completely forgot about that since I don’t use it as I use only use the 35f2. Good point. I am getting more and more used the xpro3 and I’m loving it though I must say!
@@Gmakamian Glad to hear that the Xpro3 is growing on you. As much as i want to try one myself, i think id rather first expand my lens kit. The 23f2 and 35f2 are definition in my list. Cheers!
Lenses over bodies for sure!
I have xpro1, x-e2, xt-3. xpro1 and xe-2 gets most love. Might even be that the x-e2 is my favorit. Somthing magical with the images it takes.
You are not alone. X-E2 produces my favorite colors of any Fuji. X100V is close but I will never sell my X-E2.. ‘handed it down’ to my son so I still have access to it.
Nice video Greg. I had watched your X-Pro1 video before buying mine 9 months ago :) Then, I also started youtube and 3 days ago I shared my X-Pro 1 in 2021 video. What a coincidence :D
Hey Mehmet! So nice to hear that man. I’ll check your review tonight when I’m home! The xpro1 is still killer!
Have to ask.. regarding the focus issues.. are you in focus or release priority? If using BBF/AF-C it often defaults to release priority which will reduce hit rate.
Have you considered a x100v? Perfect for street, smaller and lighter. You are right about the AF. It is not very precise. Have had 4 Fujis now. All the same. The AF says ok in the viewfinder, but it is not in 50 percent of the cases. My biggest complaint with the x system... But great cameras indeed.
I did consider the x100v for a long time but eventually went with the pro because I’m not a big fan of 35mm equivalent. I prefer 24-28mm and 50mm. Glad to hear I’m not the only one disappointed with the AF. Either way, at the end I love the look fuji gives so thats what matters most for me. Hopefully they can improve their algorithms in the future.
@@Gmakamian yes I know. 35mm is not for everyone. The 28/50 combo is a great choice if you will carry two lenses. I got the x100v, and have both the x-pro2/35mm and the Leica Q. Too many choices. Should I only have one - the Leica Q would stay! Such an amazing camera. But the x100V has something to it though... Take care.
Oh nice man, I hope I can try a leica Q one day. I hear great things about it! Take care too brother, keep shooting!
The x-pro 1 and other cameras of the x-trans 1 and 2 generation has a jpg - rendering which is more punchy in the contrast and clarity. If you give the blacks +1 or +2 it will look more like the older cameras and a little contrast helps with the sharpness as well. If you have a little patience you will get much closer in general.
But don´t touch the clarity option. It will create that stupid black-out after a photo.
Really loved all the photos in the video. Are they all hand-held? Really lovely photos
Hi Prakash, yes everything hand held. Thank you bud!
I think you should consider the x pro2
I started w xt2. Got the pro2. Loved it. Eventually damaged and sold it. Went back to the xt2 which some say still had faster af. Bought the x pro3 but I missed the screen. Right now I have the t3, pro3 and pro2 again. In daylight with the f2 primes there's no difference in AF
At night there is an improvement with focus acquisition but only in low light conditions. I still use the x pro2 at night because the street/shop lights provide plenty of light for the f2 focus acquisition
I'm using the t3 for low light/f1.4 lenses. About ready to sell the x pro3
Hi Allen, I’m sure I would be as happy with the x-pro2 as I am with the x-pro3, but since I have the pro3 there’s no point for me to sell it to move to the pro2. My friend uses the pro2 with the 16 1.4 and he’s really happy with it as well.
Hi, which simulation do you use for the images included in your video? Thanks.
Hi bud these are all raw files edited. I don’t really used jpeg sims.
Smashing review and great images of a once-beautiful and peaceful city.
Thank you bud. The world is changing.
@@Gmakamian Being changed is probably more accurate. No one chooses this life or this degeneration.
How is the auto focus on the xpro 1 if you use just the center point? Looking to pick up a xpro1 and use my vintage md Minolta lenses…
It’s alright. It won’t hit a subject moving towards the camera at a fast pace.
LOL, the X-Pro1 has 16MP sensor (X-Trans v1) - not 12MP (X100 classic has 12MP Bayer sensor). Nice video otherwise.
PS. If 30% of your shots is OOF, you're doing something wrong; it's not the camera's fault.
Yes you are right it's 16mp. I got confused from my OG Sony A7S which was 12mp. Maybe I am doing something wrong with AF, but either way hit rate is too low compared to my Sony which is a bit disappointing but I can tolerate it for the experience it provides.
Hi Greg, I really like your videos! Just wondering do you have any recommendations on where to get a good condition X-pro 1 nowadays? I live in New York btw. Thank you so much!
Hi there, thank you so much. Did you try ebay? Some good ones always come up. Maybe check also B&H. If you call and ask for one they might be able to find you one :)
Like your muted colour grading very much. Can you tell something about your settings?
Hi Joseph thank you. I have a video on this channel on how I edit, you can watch that. Although I changed some things since that video, you will understand my thought process. Thanks again!
Great video, Greg. I've been shooting film almost exclusively (35mm and medium format) for over 8 years. At the same time I always had Nikon digital cameras as well but I never liked the photos as much as I liked the film photos I took, I always felt they were an ok "plan b" cameras. Lately I've been so occupied with my work that developing and scanning film became a painful task so I started to look for digital options, just for the sake of saving time. I immediately felt in love with the XPRO line and finally bought a black XPRO 3. I've been shooting with it for 3 months now and I absolutely love it and I regret not buying it before. Coming from film, for me using this camera it is like an "upgraded" experience... it's fun, quick, the quality of the camera and photos is outstanding and the "feel" you get out from this sensor is film-like. Compared to the Nikon's I own in the past, this camera's noise is grain-like and even shooting with a very high ISO they render noise in a much pleasant way. This camera easily is one of the best I ever owned and, a great benefit as well, is that I am able not only to use the magnificent Fuji glass I own, I also use some Nikon lenses that renders amazingly well on this camera. Also, manual focus on these + the focus peaking option makes it super fun and fast to use. I absolutely love this camera.
Hi buddy, I’m so happy to hear that you love the camera. I absolutely love the camera as well, it’s so much fun to shoot and yes the quality is outstanding. I have never shot film, though I love looking at film photos, so I don’t have the experience to compare. All I know is that fujifilm has a very different look than all the full frame cameras I have tried, and I really love it. Keep shooting!
Ps have you tries the 18mm f 1.4 R LM WR? Great combo with this camera! I’m loving this combo. I sold all my Sony gear as I gave up pro work and the bought back into fuji for fun. Your images look good btw what are the film sims your using?
I was thinking of trying out the 18 1.4 but on some fb forums I read people saying it makes the camera too front heavy. I use the xpro for street so I like to use only small lenses. The lens does look super sharp though. I edit all my photos in LR. But for casual shooting I’m using the Kodachrome V2 recipe from fuji x weekly. Thanks!
This was the review I was looking for. Would you mind commenting on the AF performance of the X-E4 as well?
Hey bud, I don’t have access to the xe-4 so I can’t comment. Glad you found the video helpful.
thank you for your opinions, i really liked your images, i have x-e4 now and i really love this camera, for my professional work i still use my 6d and L glass, so e4 is only for personal work and fun, im considering now selling e4 to get xpro1 to save money, do you think theres huge difference in terms of IQ ?
In IQ you won't see a big difference no. Color output is different, some prefer the older sensor and some the newer. For me, I prefer the older sensor in terms of color. But be prepared, focus is slow compared to e4.
@@Gmakamian perfect, i am using only manuel focus lenses, did you try focus peaking ? is it work like new cameras ?
@@regularplayer1 Focus peaking is only in white color and not very good. The EFV is very low resolution. You will not like it compared to the e4. If you are focusing on static images then it should be fine, but anything moving is not a good idea.
Really great video ! Is it the xF 35mm f2 that is mounted on your xpro3??
Thanks bud, yep that’s the one!
Agree with everything you said and I shoot A7iii for work and XE3 for street photography and fun.
Just FYI I often use the electric shutter for silence shots on my A7iii
I tried using the electronic shutter but I’m getting way too much banding. No money for an A1 unfortunately 😂
@@Gmakamian elec shutter at night definitely bands. 1 trick to reduce banding with elec shutter is take advantage of high iso performance. Go minimum 800 or 1600 to crank the shutter speed. Shooting the a7iii is like trying to shoot a laptop lol... but in the end I've decided that coming home with the shots I want makes me happier than enjoying shooting all day and my system fails me. Not a fan of the weight of the a7iii... but my GRii or a6500 fills that gap. Typically the 28mm f/2 is on my a7iii so it's pretty compact. I sold my xt3... but I will someday grab an xe3 for manual focus Minolta glass. Great video sir! @freshouttafocus
Personally, I would jump in with the X-Pro2. It's far faster and more sophisticated than the X-Pro1; meanwhile, the X-Pro3 is not a huge advance over the X-Pro2. And I would actually rank image quality and high ISO performance on the X-Pro2 as superior to either the 1 or the 3.
btw > 16MP in the X-Pro1.
Great video, i love my X-Pro1 with the 35mm 1,4 R
Great. Look forward to more in depth comparison. Have you used the XPro2 at all? I’m trying to decide between 1, 2 and 3.
Unfortunately haven’t used the xpro2. My friend owns it and he loves it. They’re all great cameras but good for different reasons. Xpro1 obviously cause its super cheap and IQ is fantastic. Xpro2 is better built with better AF. Xpro3 has the blocked screen and I guess slightly better AF. IQ wise honestly I don’t think you will see a big difference. The xpro3 generally has a more modern cleaner look and the xpro1 and xpro2 slightly more filmic look I would say. Beat bang for buck would probably xpro2 if you can find a good deal.
@@Gmakamian Some questions… 1) can you get all the same film simulations on X-Pro1 as the latest X-Pro3? 2) Are film simulations applied in camera on X-Pro1 same as X-Pro3 so what you see is what you get? 3) for street use the X-Pro1 AF seems fine do you agree? Have you lost any shots with it?
The Durasilver or Durablack is $200 more than the standard black. not $500 and is a far superior camera to any of previous XPros. All are great cameras. The XPro3 is far superior to anything else in its price category. Love mine. Been shooting mostly street and eventful over a year and can't find a flaw.
I noticed the same thing about sharpness on my XT-1 and XH-1. The images from the XT-1 are shaper and the color is better.
Did you take all the sample pictures in this video with x pro 1 ??
Hi there, all the photos in this video are shot with the XPro3.
Awesome images. Thank you 🙏🏽
I love your channel. Please do many many more videos
thank you Jonathan. I was actually thinking about continuing this channel yesterday :)
Yes please. This would just be so nice!!!!
Thank you for the video and opinion. Need to stop watching these x- pro videos. Using x100f which is small/fun/fast, but doesn’t have the lenses.
Hi bud, honestly just enjoy what you have. I used to be obsessed with having lenses for different things and ended up selling everything. I only have a wide and a 50 now. Having lots of lenses just caused more stress and slowed me down.
@@Gmakamian will try to do that unless some 200/250€ pro1 will pop up )
Thank you for this video! Very interesting for me. I shoot street with the cheap and terrific fuji xm1 and looked at the xpro 1 and 3. I think you helped me to save a lot and I will be able to get new strings to my double bass 😆
A fellow double bassist! Awesome to hear you play the bass too and photograph. Thanks for the comment man, enjoy!
My cello strings are expensive enough, I can imagine how expensive bass strings are.
Did you have any problems with the lcd not working?
I don't have the camera anymore, but when I did I had no issues.
@@Gmakamian great! Thank you!
@@Gmakamian why did you decide to let it go?
@@ren1818ren I’m not liking the image of the latest fujis.
really 30% misses focus ? mine misses 5% max. Basically, it rarely misses.... if it locks, I am always confident it will nail it... I wonder what is happening with yours ? Let me check mine with XF23 f/2 right now
Yep I would say about 30%. Not sure why. I also noticed it’s like that when my focus is on mid-distance subjects like 5-6meters. Anything in the 1-4 meter range seems to focus much better. Maybe it’s the lens, I’m not sure.
@@Gmakamian I just went outside with the XF23 f/2 and took 20 photos... all in perfect focus... the only ones that are a little low contrast are close up wide open... and that's a known weakness of that lens... focus was 1 - 10 feet.. what lens are you using ? I was using EVF... I don't trust OVF close up. I also have power on boost.
30% miss cannot be normal... maybe have it checked ?
@@pandoraefretum I use 35f2. Are you focusing on fast moving objects or static scenes?
@@Gmakamian nearly all static... AF-S
Could the sharpness be because of he extra resolution? Meaning that at lower shutter speeds the camera shake will be seen due to the resolution. And could this be fixed with increased shutter speeds? Just a thought.
It’s actually miss focus so no nothing to do with shutter speed. However using single autofocus has greatly improved my hit rate. Continuous auto focus is not quite on Sony level.
Never parting with my xpro1. Same goes for my xh1. Xpro3 screen killed my interest regarding user experience.
I can definitely understand the frustration. For me the hardest part of the screen is getting vertical shots. And likewise, the xpro1 will stay with me forever!
@@Gmakamian Greg took the Xpro1 on my honeymoon with the 56 1.2 and travel tripod. Took the most epic pics of my wive and I all over the resort in Jamaica. The rendering was exactly what my eyes saw. To this day it’s like the images capture every second of the trip.
Brings us right back to the honeymoon every time we see the pics. Also like you said, just plain fun to shoot with too.
@@rumporridge1 that’s what it’s all about man, that makes me so happy! I feel the same with my wife, have taken so many photos and they’re some of our greatest memories!
What lens do you have on the X-Pro3 in the video?
Hi Henry, it’s the 35mm F2
Hi Greg, your video about the Xpro1 last year was one of the reasons I bought one! Love it. Got it with the 18/2 on it, but I am a 50mm shooter from film days so I am getting one of the 35mm XF lenses. Leaning towards the newer f2 due to that bit faster AF and near silent operation. The older 1.4 does seem very noisy and quite slow on the XPro1. Do you like it on your XPro1?
Btw the XPro1 also has the 2 magnifications in the OVF, same as the XPro2.
I was also thinking about the Xpro3 before buying the XPro1, but couldn‘t justify the price. And as a shooter who doesn’t need super fast AF and huge menu options I couldn‘t see much benefit in the XPro3. So far glad I opted for the XP1. Somehow it doesn‘t feel like a tool rather a good old compagnon sharing a journey with. I like that feeling a lot.
Looking fwd to your next video!
Cheers from Switzerland
Hi Michel! That’s so nice to hear and I’m so glad you love your Xpro1. I used the 35F2 only on the Xpro1 and it works great. I haven’t tried the 35F1.4. From everyone I have spoken with they all recommend the f2 version for the xpro1. And you made the right decision going for the Xpro1 if you don’t need fast AF. Honestly, the Xpro3 has many welcome advancements but image quality is not one of them. I would say get the 35f2!
@@Gmakamian cheers Greg. Thx for coming back!
There is a used one locally for 250.- (about same in USD) good deal I‘d say)
Btw that silver on the XPro3 looks great!!
Thanks Michel! I’m really enjoying the silver ☺️ definitely get the lens for that price!
@@Gmakamian only downside of the XP1 is focus peaking. Very weak and just the white color. Hard to get accurate focus. So I don’t use MF lenses anymore. Pitty.
Cheers
@@Gmakamian the 35 F 1.4 actually works better on the X Pro 1, in terms of output. Both were launched simultaneously. The 35 F2 works better with second generation X. That’s my own personal take.
If you want a dope silent, street cam, go for Ricoh GRiii, Street Edition if you wanna be the cool guy.
Thanks for sharing this video. I thought it was very honest and made a lot of good points. I currently own an xt-1 and an xt2. I still keep thinking about the xpro3. I do like the rangefinder aesthetic. However, there were a few things that kept me from trading in my xt2 for the xpro3. I find with my xt-1 that the white balance is quite accurate as well. And I do enjoy the warmer jpegs that you get with the xt-1 and the xt2 as compared to the xt3 and the xpro3. I wonder what you might have thought had you got an X pro2 instead. I find that that it's 24-megapixel sensor presents a nice middle ground between the older sensors and the sensors that are found in Fujifilm newest X line of cameras. Have a good weekend. Cheers!
Hi Muata, have a good weekend as well! My friend owns the Xpro2 and I tried it a few times and it's a great camera. You are absolutely right that it strikes a good balance between the generation of Fuji cameras. Honestly, I would be happy with an xpro2 or an xpro3. I generally shoot raw so I can always tweak things. However, the jpegs are a different story. Either way, I am still very happy with the xpro3. I'm lucky enough to have both xpro's and choose them for different applications. Keep shooting bud!
You still have the xpro1 or 3?
I do not.
@@Gmakamian you miss it?
I agree with everything you said!!! You may have a sensor issue regarding your focus.
I’m looking into it. Another person also told me my focusing issues sound strange. Thanks for watching!
What camera do you use to record your video? Looks very sharp. I liked your video and subscribed to your channel!
thanks Darren! I shoot all my videos with the Sony A7iii.
@@Gmakamian Nice I was actually considering getting that camera vs my XT4. Looks great :)
Thanks mate. I haven’t tried the XT4 so I have no idea how it would compare, but the A7iii only has 8bit video so you can’t really push the edit. With Sony you have to dial in the WB well for it to give a good color. But yes sharpness is it’s strong suit.
@@Gmakamian 8 bit is fine imo for most uses. I was thinking about it the other day and I really wonder just how much the end viewer can tell with 8 bit vs 10 bit. Maybe more so for us who are looking closer.
The difference I believe is when you are grading. If I push the A7iii file just a little bit, it falls apart very quickly. For minimal edits, yes not much of a difference!
Your experience with missed AF shots is to do with continuous AF. If you switch to single you will nail AF
Yes you are right. I have switched to single AF and it's much better!
Always dreamed of having an xpro camera or any fuji camera with xtrans lol. I own a bayer sensor fuji cam tho.
Nice one Greg. Hope all well.
Thank you bud, all good here. Hope all is well with you too.
I don’t shoot continuous AF. Single point is the most reliable.
Thanks for analysis..great
thanks for watching!
It still baffles me that the xpro series is $500 more even if they have less features than the xt. I'm guessing its nostalgia that they are banking on.
I find WB on my X-Pro1 always a bit off to the warm side, while X-Pro3 always gets it right😅 Maybe there's a reason you've got a free upgrade?🤣 Just kidding😉 As for AF, people saying it's bad usually means it's not the BEST, which is quite different. I used many cameras, and never felt that AF is bad on X-Pro3, just dig through settings thoroughly, or, again, maybe there's a reason you've got a free upgrade?😂
Hey bud, that is very strange because I would say the complete opposite regarding auto white balance. I find my xpro1 much cooler and the xpro3 much warmer. Yes, I agree that the AF is not bad. Maybe my wording wasn't the best. However, the issue still is that the AF is unreliable, because even when it says it's in focus it's not. Who knows? Maybe I did receive a busted camera!
@@SergioMusel yep, I've set everything to 0/0. That is very strange! I tried them both in quite a few lighting conditions, and xpro3 usually comes out 500-1000 kelvin warmer.
@@SergioMusel I'll see if I can get my hands on another xpro3.
I've had all three cameras and the xp3 is by far a faster camera than the xp2 or xp1. I loved the xp2 but will never look back. Color is amazing on the xp3 and simulations are the best of any camera. Menu, exp comp dial, EVF/OVF are vastly improved, etc..It's great folks are attached to the older models, but to say they perform better than the xp3 is just wishful thinking. Auto focus is hands down better than the other two cameras. Maybe you got a bum camera, but you spent the whole time complaining about the xp3 and how you like the xp1 better, but still say the xp3 is a fun camera to use. ?? This review doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
Agreed
Your comment is narrow minded.
You value certain things which make the C PRO 3 better for you.
There are things about the X PRO 1 that make it better for me including the fact that it makes me slow down.
What has a camera being fun got to do with it?
The Fuji Instax can be fun. Does that make it better than my X-T3?
Yeah this guy is full of shit lmao 🤣
XP1 is 16.1 megapixel not 12
Xpro1 is a legend forever. Every other xpro are and will be just another camera.
Xpro1 have 16 megapixel not 12
The Xpro1 = 16MP sensor, not 12.
The x-pro 1 is 16 megapixel not 12
Yes you are right.
You sound very critical of colors and sharpness for a camera for street.
Yes, I care about image quality. Just because it’s street, it doesn’t mean IQ can go out the window.
Don't use continuous focus. Use single. It's better.
Thanks Charles, you are right.
xpro3 is not expensive compared with the price of leica, I can only comfort you so
Definitely.
Sony a7III has silent shutter
X-Pro 1 has 16 mpx sensor not 12 mpx
Yes
X-Pro1: 16 mp
xpro 1 has a 16mp sensor
everybody buys camera's they don't need.
xpro1&Xt-1 are best fuji
X pro1 x ever
XP1 IS THE G.O.A.T
This video could have been 30 seconds
You can watch youtube shorts if you want 30 seconds.
You hit a lick
26 is not double 16.
Yes you’re right. I made a mistake thinking xpro1 is 12mp not 16.
😁
I had the Fuji X-Pro 1 with the 18-55 and compared it to the Olympus E-M5 Mark II.
The M5 makes much sharper photos.
The JPEG film simulations are very strange; The Olympus colors are much more realistic.
The Fuji couldn’t catch me despite the hype.
I have Canon cameras as well. There is no comparison I prefer much more the Canon.
Great to hear you love canon and olympus. I havent trie olympus so I can’t compare.
The output from the modern Olympus line - forensic and clinical, but I can understand why some people like this. On the other hand the Fujifilm rendering seems quite unique. Two totally different approaches.
WHY you put dark photo on white background !!!!!!????? It totally make no sence and look awfull when you want to look at image.
