Fujifilm earlier revealed design details for the X-Pro series' successor, the X-Pro 3, at the X Summit event held in Shibuya, Tokyo. These details include the use of titanium to reduce the camera's weight, along with three color options: black, deep black, and deep silver. Furthermore, a small LED panel that simulates traditional film images is placed on the outside of the camera's flip-up screen, while the LCD panel for framing requires the flip-up screen to be pulled outward.
According to Fujifilm, placing the viewfinder LCD panel inside the tilting screen is primarily intended to allow users to return to the camera's original mode of use: viewing through the viewfinder on the camera body, rather than the customary LCD panel. Displaying the traditional film image on the outside screen via a small LED panel simulates the use of film cameras, which offers a unique experience.
At the same time, in line with this "retro" design, Fujifilm has also added a shooting effect called Classic Negative to the X-Pro 3, which will simulate the shooting effect of Fujicolor Superia color negative film launched in the past. It is expected to be launched together with the official announcement of the X-Pro 10 on October 23.
This time, the body is changed to titanium material, which not only reduces the overall weight but also ensures durability. The dark black and dark silver color schemes further improve the surface scratch resistance, emphasizing that it is about 10 times more scratch-resistant than stainless steel.
In addition, Fujifilm has also improved the optical and electronic hybrid viewfinder used in the X-Pro 3, which will further enhance the clarity and viewing field. The electronic viewfinder has also enhanced the resolution, contrast, brightness and other adjustments to make it easier for users to frame and shoot.
