During the Fujifilm X Summit in Tokyo, Fuji officially announced the development of the X-Pro3 rangefinder. While Fujifilm hasn’t yet released full details about the retro camera – those will come later at its official announcement in late October 2019 – it did tease a few key details about its design, including a unique screen and improved hybrid viewfinder that should particularly delight street photographers.

Fujifilm has completely revised the optical and electronic viewfinders to make their view clearer and more detailed. The electronic viewfinder (EVF) is also said to have a much great color reproduction.

In an interesting twist, the back of the camera has a small screen that shows the basic exposure information. It can even show a small image similar to the tab of a film pack that used to be slipped onto film cameras. This will make the selected Film Simulation mode clear. Here you’ll also get some very charming digital previews of the film simulation you’re using, including the newly announced Classic Negative. These will even be visible when the camera’s turned off, which is a lovely nod to film cameras.

One slight surprise, though, is that it’ll be offered in three colors, two of which come with a special coating – these will be called Dura Black and Dura Silver. The new camera is going to be made from titanium to make it more durable than previous X-Series cameras. In fact, thanks to the use of titanium and new coatings, it will be 10x more resistant to scratches than stainless steel.

That’s all we know so far about the Fujifilm X-Pro3, but it’s more than we expected to know. The camera will be officially announced on October 23rd, and there will be worldwide “Fujifest” events on the 24th for customers to try this camera out for themselves.
