Fujifilm X-Pro3

Fujifilm X-Pro3 was announced in 2019 and is an APS-C (23.5 x 15.6 mm) Mirrorless camera with 26.1 Megapixel BSI-CMOS sensor. Its native ISO ranges from 160 to 12,800 and expands to 80 - 51,200 in boosted mode. The camera has a Tilting 3.0" screen with 1,620k dot resolution and built-in Electronic and Optical (tunnel) viewfinder with 3,690k dot resolution.

Fujifilm X-Pro3 can capture video up to 4096 x 2160 resolution.

Tilting Touchscreen

Fujifilm X-Pro3 has a 3.0" Tilting touchscreen with 1,620k dot resolution. Tilting screen makes this camera very useful for photography purposes but not so useful for video shooting.

Electronic and Optical (tunnel) Viewfinder

Camera has a built-in Electronic and Optical (tunnel) viewfinder with 3,690k dot resolution. It has a 95% coverage and 0.78x (0.52x 35mm equivalent) magnification.

BSI-CMOS Sensor

Fujifilm X-Pro3 features a 26.1 megapixel APS-C BSI-CMOS sensor with dimensions of 23.5 x 15.6 mm and a total area of 366.6 mm². Its native ISO range is 160 - 12,800 and expands to 80 - 51,200 in boosted mode.

The camera has BSI-CMOS sensor, short for Backside Illuminated Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor sensor. In traditional CMOS sensors, the wiring and circuitry are located on the front side of the sensor, which can block some of the incoming light. BSI technology flips this design by placing the photosensitive elements (pixels) on the backside of the sensor, allowing more light to reach the pixels. This significantly enhances light sensitivity and improves low-light performance. BSI-CMOS sensors are particularly effective in low-light conditions, as they can capture more light, resulting in brighter and less noisy images. This makes them well-suited for indoor and night photography. BSI-CMOS sensors deliver a higher SNR and reduced cross-talk.

Camera is equipped with X-Processor 4 processor and can take pictures up to 6240 x 4160 resolution.

Lens Mount

Fujifilm X-Pro3 has Fujifilm X lens mount. Due to APS-C sensor its crop factor (also called lens multiplier) is 1.5x. This means that a 35mm equivalent focal length of the mounted lens will be equal to its actual focal length times 1.5.

No Low-Pass Filter

There is no optical low-pass filter (OLPF), also known as an anti-aliasing filter, in front of the sensor. This results in a slightly sharper image but may also introduce moiré patterns and aliasing artifacts when photographing subjects with fine, repetitive patterns or details.

No In-Body Image Stabilization

The camera does not have in-body image stabilization (IBIS) so it needs lenses with optical image stabilization for vibration reduction.

Built-in Wi-Fi

Camera has a built-in Wi-Fi (802.11b/g/n, 2.4 GHz) which allows to easily transfer photos and videos from the camera to other Wi-Fi-enabled devices, such as smartphones, tablets, printers, or computers. This eliminates the need for cables and allows for quick and convenient media sharing and social media integration. It gives you the ability to control your camera remotely using a smartphone or tablet. This is particularly useful for taking self-portraits, group shots, or capturing images in challenging conditions without having to touch the camera. Firmware updates can also be downloaded and installed wirelessly.

Bluetooth

Camera has a built-in Bluetooth which lets you to connect the camera to a smartphone or a dedicated remote control device. This allows you to remotely trigger the camera, adjust settings and controls remotely through a paired mobile app. While Wi-Fi is generally faster for transferring larger files, Bluetooth can be used for small, selective transfers, it can provide real-time information about your camera's battery status, memory card capacity, and other key settings directly on your paired smartphone or smartwatch.

Focusing

Fujifilm X-Pro3 has Intelligent Hybrid AF (TTL contrast AF / TTL phase detection AF) system with 425 focusing points. Touch-to-Focus allows users to select a specific point on the screen where they want the camera to focus. This feature can be helpful for achieving precise focus in both photo and video recording. There is also face detection feature which automatically finds and focuses on faces.

Exposure
