FUJIFILM North America Corporation has officially announced the launch of the X-Pro3, the latest digital rangefinder from the X Series range of APS-C mirrorless cameras. The X-Pro3 has a particular audience in mind: those who like to keep “in the moment” — and attempts to combine “all the feeling of film with all the ease and quality of digital.” It has also one of the most durable camera bodies in FUJIFILM camera history, thanks to the exterior use of titanium top and base plates.
Not satisfied with a distinctly retro camera with dedicated control dials and hybrid optical/electronic viewfinder, the Fujifilm X-Pro3 takes nostalgia one step further down the retro path with the introduction of an always-on rear 1.28-inch color Memory LCD on the back part of the LCD (which is turned inward in its default “closed” position). This square LCD displays shooting settings even when the camera is turned off. The “Classic” mode setting displays the Film Simulation, white balance and other settings reminiscent of film cameras where the photographer would tear off the top cover of a film box and slide it into the back slot on the back of the camera to remind himself of the type of film he was using in the camera. The “Standard” mode displays shutter speed, ISO sensitivity, the number of remaining frames, and other shooting settings in plain numbers and icons — similar to the top LCD on many pro-level cameras.
As mentioned, the LCD is unusual in that it is turned inward in its default “closed” position to “keep photographers looking through the viewfinder.” Apparently Fujifilm wants photographers to enjoy shooting through the viewfinder, and to that effect it has improved both the optical viewfinder (clearer, less distortion, larger angle of view) and the EVF (higher resolution and contrast, wider color space, brighter, higher frame rate) on the X-Pro3. However, if you do insist in actually using the LCD, you can tilt it almost 180° downward to reveal a 1.62M-dot Tilt Touch display. This allows you to shoot from the waist or at ground level. I’m not sure how easy it will be use the LCD to shoot above your head, unless you awkwardly hold the camera upside down.
A new “Classic Negative” Film Simulation is also available, which emulates the classic Fujicolor Superia negative film that was normally used back then in the film days for everyday snapshots.
It is great to see Fujifilm giving the X-Pro Series its own distinct personality. It is the small and unique features only available on the X-Pro3 that will tug at your heartstring. The X-Pro3 features a weather-resistant body, fast and precise AF, beautiful color capture, low noise high ISO capability, and the ability to lock focus at close to absolute darkness (-6EV).
Fujifilm is sticking to an update cycle for its X-Pro Series digital rangefinder mirrorless camera of about every four years. The X-Pro1 was released in February 2012, the X-Pro2 in March 2016, and today the X-Pro3 is announced to be released late Fall 2019. US and Canadian prices are in the press release below.

PRESS RELEASE
FUJIFILM INTRODUCES THE X-PRO3 – A RETURN TO THE CRAFT AND HEART OF PHOTOGRAPHY
Valhalla, New York, October 23, 2019 – FUJIFILM North America Corporation is pleased to announce the launch of the FUJIFILM X-Pro3, the latest rangefinder from the X Series range of mirrorless digital cameras, and perfect for photographers on the move who want top-level features, a low profile, and reliable durability.
Created with street photographers and photojournalists in mind, the features of the X-Pro3 are designed to keep the photographer focused on the subject. Its revolutionary hybrid OVF/EVF and hidden LCD touchscreen keeps the photographer in the moment, while its state-of-the-art imaging sensor and high-quality 4k video ensure spectacular results. X-Pro3 is a true photographer’s tool that combines all the feeling of film with all the ease and quality of digital. The X-Pro3 is one of the most durable camera bodies in FUJIFILM camera history, thanks to the exterior use of titanium, known for its outstanding strength-to-weight ratio.
Two color variations will be available with additional DuratectTM*1 (DR) surface- hardening technology for extra toughness and premium finish. The X-Pro3 uses the back illuminated 26.1MP X-TRANS CMOS 4 sensor and the X-Processor 4 image processing engine, first seen in the FUJIFILM X-T3 and then the FUJIFILM X-T30. Using this combination and new firmware, the phase-detection AF now works down to a luminance of -6EV; close to absolute darkness. Also new is CLASSIC Neg. Film Simulation mode, which is designed to simulate color negative film that was normally used for everyday snapshots.
More information about X-Pro3:
New OVF/EVF Combination: Great photography is all about freezing natural moments in time and X-Pro3’s impressive hybrid viewfinder ensures you are always fully immersed in that moment, without influencing it. The optical viewfinder (OVF) uses a 0.5x magnification and parallax-correcting frame lines to provide an uninterrupted and true-to-life view of what’s in front of you. It also allows you to see outside the frame so that you are always ready to catch the approaching action. Additionally, the 3.69M-dot OLED electronic viewfinder (EVF) offers a fast and high-quality representation of exactly how your image will look, with a 1:5000 contrast ratio for excellent clarity. When combined, this industry-leading technology provides an outstanding picture, helping to capture the world exactly as it is being seen.
Hidden 180-Degree Tilt and Touchscreen: Every aspect of X-Pro3 has been designed for photographers who like to live in the moment, but none more so than its hidden 1.62M-dot, tilting LCD touchscreen. When the LCD is closed, all that can be viewed is a mini-display showing essential settings, removing the distraction of a full screen while shooting. With your mind and your eye always on the scene in front of you rather than the scene you’ve just shot, you can find a connection not just with your subject, but also with your art. If seeking the perfect moment is instinctive to you, then look no further than X-Pro3 as your tool.
Incredible Sensor, Processor, and AF Performance: Lying at the heart of X-Pro3 is its state-of-the-art X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor and X-Processor 4 combination. This exceptional 26.1MP sensor uses a back-illuminated design to maximize quality and dynamic range, while its unique color filter array controls moiré and false color without the need for an optical, low-pass filter. Such outstanding imaging capability is complemented by the quad-core X-Processor 4. This powerful CPU not only ensures images are quickly and smoothly processed, but thanks to Fujifilm’s new algorithm, boosts AF performance with precision face and eye detection right down to -6EV.
Enhanced Body Design: X-Pro3’s timeless body design features a top and base plate constructed from titanium, which, despite being little more than half the density of stainless steel, is seven times more durable. In addition to classic black, the weather-sealed X-Pro3 is also available in DR Silver and DR Black, which utilize cold plasma technology for a scratch-resistant finish. This outstanding durability combines with a newly developed shutter release unit that ensures dependable precision and smoother, more responsive functionality to create a camera that can be relied upon to perform in nearly any situation.
Unparalleled Color Reproduction and Film Simulation Modes: Fujifilm’s legacy in color science has given it legendary status among image-makers across the world. During its 85 years in the industry, Fujifilm has been responsible for some of the most iconic photographic films in history. The exceptional knowledge gained has been poured into Fujifilm’s collection of 16 digital Film Simulation modes. This cutting-edge technology allows photographers to achieve stunning results straight out of camera and X-Pro3 introduces two exciting new additions to the Film Simulation mode collection: CLASSIC Neg. and MONOCHROMATIC Color.
The X-Series’ first interchangeable lens camera, FUJIFILM X-Pro1, was released in February 2012, and its successor, FUJIFILM X-Pro2, debuted in March 2016 with vastly improved image quality and performance. The X-Pro Series has been embraced by many professional and enthusiast photographers who enjoy the classic rangefinder style, portability, and dials that enable intuitive operation. The X-Pro3 builds on the series’ legacy as the ultimate solution for photographers on the move who know the value of being in the moment.
The X-Pro3 camera will be offered with manufacturer’s suggested retail prices as follows:
$1,799.95 USD Black
$1,999.95 USD DR Black or DR Silver
$2,399.99 CAD Black
$2,699.99 CAD DR Black or DR Silver.
X-Pro3 is expected to go on sale in late Fall 2019. For more information, please visit https://fujifilm-x.com/en-us/x-pro3.

COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE
FUJIFILM LANCE LE NOUVEAU X-PRO3, MARQUANT UN RETOUR À L’ART (ET À L’ÂME) DE LA PHOTOGRAPHIE
Mississauga, Ontario, le 23 octobre 2019 – FUJIFILM North America Corporation est heureuse d’annoncer le lancement du FUJIFILM X-Pro3, le tout dernier boîtier de style télémètre à intégrer la gamme d’appareils numériques sans miroir Série X. Cet appareil est l’outil parfait pour les photographes occupés désirant durabilité, fiabilité et fonctionnalité à la fine pointe de la technologie, au sein d’un boîtier discret.
Créé spécifiquement pour les photographes de rue et les photojournalistes, le X-Pro3 intègre des fonctions qui permettent de demeurer concentré sur le sujet. Son capteur optique / électronique (OVF / EVF) hybride révolutionnaire et son écran ACL tactile dissimulé permettent à l’usager de rester dans le moment, tandis que son capteur image à la fine pointe de la technologie et ses capacités vidéo 4K évoluées assurent des résultats spectaculaires à tout coup. Le X-Pro3 est l’outil photographique par excellence, combinant les qualités des appareils à film à la convivialité ainsi qu’à la finesse des appareils numériques.
Le X-Pro3 présente l’un des boîtiers les plus durables de toute l’histoire FUJIFILM. Son extérieur est fait de titane, une matière reconnue pour son rapport résistance-poids très élevé. Deux couleurs seront offertes, certaines présentant la technologie de durcissement en surface DuratectMC*1 (Dura), qui assure une robustesse accrue et un fini optimal. Le X-Pro3 est doté du capteur X-Trans CMOS 4 rétroéclairé à 26,1 MP ainsi que du processeur d’image X-Processor 4 qui ont tout d’abord été intégrés aux modèles FUJIFILM X-T3 et X-T30. Grâce à ces dispositifs et à nos nouvelles mises à niveau, le système de mise au point automatique (AF) à détection de phase fonctionne maintenant à une luminance minimale de -6 EV – une obscurité presque totale. L’appareil intègre également le nouveau mode de simulation de film «CLASSIQUE Nég.», conçu pour simuler les films négatifs couleur qui étaient normalement utilisés pour les clichés de tous les jours.
Autres renseignements sur le X-Pro3 :
Nouvelle combinaison OVF / EVF : Pour produire des photos de qualité optimale, il faut pouvoir s’arrêter à l’instant opportun sur des moments naturels. Le viseur hybride impressionnant du X-Pro3 vous permet de toujours rester pleinement immergé dans le moment, sans l’influencer. Le viseur optique (OVF) applique un grossissement de 0,5x et des lignes de cadrage à correction de parallaxe pour offrir une vue ininterrompue et naturelle de ce qu’il y a devant vous. Il vous permet aussi de voir à l’extérieur de l’image cadrée, pour être prêt à saisir toute action imminente. De plus, cet appareil intègre un viseur électronique (EVF) organique à DEL d’une résolution de 3,69 millions de pixels qui reproduit rapidement et avec grande précision votre image, exactement telle qu’elle sera saisie, selon un rapport de contraste de 1:5000 pour une excellente clarté. Ces deux capteurs combinés vous aideront à créer des images spectaculaires et à reproduire votre monde exactement tel que vous le voyez.
Écran ACL tactile dissimulé, orientable sur 180 degrés : Chaque facette du X-Pro3 a été minutieusement étudiée pour permettre au photographe de rester plongé dans le moment. Son écran ACL tactile dissimulé, orientable sur 180 degrés et présentant une résolution de 1,62 million de pixels, en est la meilleure preuve. Lorsque l’écran ACL est fermé, seul un mini-écran affichant les réglages essentiels est visible, ce qui élimine les distractions durant la pose. Étant donné que votre esprit et votre œil demeurent tournés vers la scène devant vous plutôt que d’être sur le moment que vous venez de photographier, vous restez constamment connecté non seulement avec votre sujet, mais aussi avec votre art. Si la recherche du moment parfait est vitale pour vous, le X- Pro3 est absolument l’appareil à utiliser.
Capteur, processeur et système AF offrant une performance incroyable : Au cœur du X-Pro3 se trouve une combinaison à la fine pointe de la technologie : le capteur X- Trans CMOS 4 et le moteur X-Processor 4. Le capteur exceptionnel à 26,1 mégapixels est rétroéclairé pour maximiser la qualité et la plage dynamique, tandis qu’un réseau de filtres colorés unique contrôle les effets moirés et les fausses couleurs sans qu’il soit nécessaire d’utiliser un filtre optique passe-bas. Ce système d’imagerie remarquable est complété par X-Processor 4, un moteur puissant à quatre unités centrales qui non seulement procède au traitement rapide et uniforme des images, mais aussi, grâce au nouvel algorithme de Fujifilm, optimise la performance du système de mise au point automatique, permettant une détection des visages et des yeux précise, jusqu’à un minimum de -6 EV.
Construction du boîtier optimisée : Le boîtier classique du X-Pro3 présente dans le haut et le bas une plaque en titane; ce matériau, dont la densité est un peu plus de la moitié de celle de l’acier inoxydable, est cependant sept fois plus durable. En plus du modèle noir classique, le X-Pro3 scellé contre les intempéries sera offert en «Dura argent» et en «Dura noir» (Dura signifiant qu’une technologie par plasma froid a été appliquée pour former un fini résistant aux égratignures). Une durabilité exceptionnelle a été combinée à une unité d’obturation de nouvelle conception pour vous offrir fiabilité, précision, sensibilité et fonctionnalité au sein d’un appareil pouvant performer dans pratiquement toute situation.
Reproduction chromatique spectaculaire et modes de simulation de film
inégalés : Cet appareil fait appel au patrimoine légendaire de Fujifilm dans le domaine des sciences chromatiques pour produire des images d’une qualité phénoménale qui épateront même les photographes les plus pointilleux. Depuis ses débuts dans l’industrie il y a 85 ans, Fujifilm a créé des pellicules photographiques qui font maintenant partie des plus réputées au monde. Nos seize modes de simulation de film intègrent tout le savoir-faire et toute l’expertise de Fujifilm, permettant aux photographes d’obtenir des résultats saisissants directement de l’appareil. Et bonne nouvelle, le X- Pro3 inclut deux tout nouveaux modes de simulation dynamiques : CLASSIQUE Nég. et MONOCHROMATIQUE Couleur!
Le tout premier appareil pour objectifs interchangeables de la Série X a été le FUJIFILM X-Pro1, lancé sur le marché en février 2012. Son successeur, le FUJIFILM X-Pro2, a été lancé en mars 2016 et intégrait de nettes améliorations sur le plan de la qualité d’image et de la performance. La série X-Pro est prisée par de nombreux photographes professionnels et amateurs, et est idéale si vous cherchez un appareil classique de style télémètre, une bonne portabilité et une opération intuitive par cadrans. Le X-Pro3 poursuit la tradition de cette série et est la solution suprême pour tout photographe occupé qui sait combien il est important de s’immerger dans le moment.
Le X-Pro3 sera offert au Canada et aux États-Unis aux prix au détail suggérés suivants :
Noir : 2399,99 $CA / 1799,95 $US
Dura noir / Dura argent : 2699,99 $CA / 1999,95 $US
Le X-Pro3 devrait être lancé sur le marché à la fin de l’automne 2019. Pour plus de renseignements, visitez https://fujifilm-x.com/en-us/x-pro3.
