This isn’t a video camera, this isn’t a VLog camera for Youtube, so things like a HDMI port has been removed, as is the headphone jack, but a USB C adapter can be used. I did this a lot when shooting football, it’s so fast paced I have to rely on my judgement, and when I did import the images, that feeling of analogue nostalgia kicked it.Īnd that feeling of accomplishment and joy of imagery is a feeling that’s very enjoyable, ok that sounds odd, it’s hard to word, but those who have shot film will understand this. That feeling of taking shots and not ‘ chimping’, going home and loading into Capture One, seeing what you got. Film has had a resurgence in recent years, and even with its ever increasing price, people still seem to shoot it. ![]() …everyone seems to love film, Fujifilm give you a more analogue way of shooting, and people lose their heads over it. In 2018 Leica released a 24MP Full Frame Rangefinder camera with no EVF or a screen, I don’t remember users going as mental as they are over the XPro 3… Oh, did I mention it’s £6000…Īs I said in my first hands on with this camera last year, ![]() If you can’t afford a Lecia, by a Fujifilm XPRO/X100. The XPro line as always been compared to Leica. If you do wish to shoot longer focal lengths, EVF is the way forward. I get their concern, but the whole idea behind this camera is not for shooting 70-200mm lenses, especially with the OVF. There are plenty of videos featuring reviewers using much longer focal lengths and then slagging it off. This camera is fundamentally for the streets, 24-35mm is where this body will thrive, especially when using the OVF. Part of me feels they should bin off this whole interchangeable EVF/OVF, go down the more XE3/GFXR route, this will bring down costs too. Granted the already niche XPro lines has become even more niche with the implementation of this hidden screen, so you’d think any means of cutting costs would make sense. Camera markets are falling and cameras are becoming a tough sell to the average consumer. It’s been well documented that the design of the EVF/OVF is one of the more expensive aspect of the camera. The same applies for the OVF on all Fujifilm cameras. I could never shoot a portrait that I thought was well composed, due to the rangefinder aspect of the camera. I had a lot of issues with my Mamiya 7, especially with portraits. īut for me it’s just not very practical for my shooting style, I’m very particular with how accurate things are in frame. It’s lovely to look through and is a very cool bit of technology, especially with the lay over of information. I’m going to mostly talk about the OVF, personally I use this function on the X100T about 5%, maybe very low light with flash, just for fun, that’s it. ![]() I like both looks, but the CN gives more of blue flatter/matte image, you can see the shadows have ben pulled slightly in the shadows. Same settings applied just different LCC profile. Left if Classic Negative, right is Classic Chrome. But it’s nice to have a bit of colour on what is a very stealthy camera. I think If i were to be shooting on a job, I’d likely change it to the more informative display. I found myself leaving it on the film stock, it’s cute. I love this feature, some say it’s a gimmick and maybe it is, but it’s nice to have the option of two different screens. The alternative is to have the film simulations, ISO & white balance shown in a form that is reminiscent of the cardboard tab you’d take from a box of film and slide into the rear of the camera to display what film stock and speed you’re using. I find these displays really handy for shooting and having it on the back of the camera is very helpful. A screen that is very similar to those on on the XH-1 & GFX 50S. With the new hidden display, we have have a small sub menu that can display two different looks. ![]() Not every camera is brought for ‘selfies’ and ‘VLogging’. The Xpro line as always been seen to cater towards street photography. The fact you get Youtube reviewers, saying ‘this camera isn’t for VLlogging’, they’re missing the point. But this camera is seen as a more ‘purer’ form of shooting and enjoying the ‘experience’, opposed to constantly looking at their images after each shot. I feel like people are missing the point of this camera, it’s niche, yeah I get that. This is great for shooting from the hip and on the sly, which is great for street photography. I like the idea of having a waist level LCD, granted many cameras can do this, but to have a simple one pull down motion.
