However, it needs new film simulations like Reala, Natura, Superia, some Tungsten film (simply changing the white balance isn’t the same), and a few other things.Ĭhris Gampat is the Editor in Chief, Founder, and Publisher of the Phoblographer. I love the screen, as I’ve stated before. I don’t think it needs image stabilization, though I can make an argument that it would help. Otherwise, the rest of the camera is perfectly fine. I’d give it a locking button in the center. The only other thing I’d change about the X Pro 3 is the exposure compensation dial. Keep the Rest the Same, ESPECIALLY THE SCREEN! I should be able to walk down Broadway, find a subject, lock onto them using face detection, and keep them in focus as we pass one another.Ĭome on Fujifilm full-frame cameras can do this with less depth of field. But the X Pro 3 shouldn’t skimp on the autofocus overall. Why does a newer camera outdo a flagship? Of course, that was the case with the XH1 for years. And that still stings for a lot of us X Pro 3 owners. The Fujifilm XT4 got better autofocus than the X Pro 3 did. Some photographers really do like just being flies on the wall. And let’s be honest, the X Pro series of cameras are more low profile than the XH series of cameras. The scene detection will help a photographer do their job while also being discrete. Capturing candid moments with the X Pro 4 would be volumes easier with the AI autofocusing algorithms. ![]() First off, lots of folks would want to use things like animal detection, bird detection, and vehicle detection. With that said, I believe the AI autofocusing should come to the X Pro 4 for great reasons. Photographers who like rangefinder-style cameras should have all the features of other cameras too. AI Autofocusingįujifilm never intended the X Pro series of cameras to be the workhorse, but it really should be. Sometimes they don’t like to admit it, but they’re surely cropping their images. ![]() If there is anything that street photographers do, they crop. The 40MP sensor will give the X Pro 4 better colors and a whole lot of cropping abilities. And honestly, I’d be alright with that as long as the autofocus doesn’t suffer, but we’ll get to that later. The reason is because the XH2s is more designed for content creators. The Fujifilm X Pro 4 could get the 40MP sensor from the XH2. So yes, the screen will be mentioned here, but let’s go into some other things too. It can surely make things difficult at times, but it also forces you to think in different ways to get better photos. The X Pro 3 gives you that top-down shooting experience so many of us want. And for professional work, photographers have been looking down into screens with a prism for years. For street photography, the X Pro 3’s screen is one of the best things you could possibly get on a camera. ![]() And only recently did I understand that everyone who complains about the screen on the X Pro 3 never shot film. But what will the Fujifilm X Pro 4 get from the XH2? And will Fujifilm give us what we want? Next year, the camera will turn four years old, and we’re due for an update. And the third flagship is the Fujifilm X Pro 3: the camera that Fujifilm more or less forgets about. The Fujifilm XH2 has resolution and a DSLR-style camera body. The Fujifilm XH2s has speed and a DSLR-style camera body. For the first time ever, I’m confused about the Fujifilm camera lineup.
