That was in mid-February 2021 just before the release of FUJIFILM's camera X-E4.I was suddenly hooked on a FUJIFILM camera since the fall of 2020, so I went to the store to see the real machine because I was worried about the newly released camera.

That's why I met X-PRO3, the camera introduced today.Until then, I thought it was a camera that had nothing to do with me.

Because ... it has a mysterious small window that doesn't look like a LCD monitor, and it's a special camera with a professional specification anyway, so it's a bit of a professional camera anyway.I thought it was.

The clerk was talking to me, who was picking up the actual X-E4 machine.If the lens that fits the X-E4 was explained, it was next to it ... X-PRO3, which brings out Mowamowa and a mysterious aura.I asked the kind clerk, as if to ask for a long time."Um, this ... what is it?"

"Oh, this is it!" For a moment, I did not miss the sharp light in the clerk's eyes.

"There is no liquid crystal monitor. Normally, close it like this. The only thing that is projected in a small window is the information of film simulation (a function that can take photos that reproduce the film of the FUJIFILM of the past year).

That's why I don't care about the liquid crystal, look into the viewfinder, and shoot anyway.The viewfinder can be set to an OVF that can be visible directly behind the glass, and when snapping, put it on the right eye like this, and while watching the situation with your left hand!I cut the shutter when I say that. "

Kasha!… A shutter sound that resounds quietly.The series of explanations and the clerk holding the camera were very cool.

Anyway, take a picture!Don't miss the shutter chance!With that kind of idea, I was very fascinated by this metamorphosis passionate camera, where the liquid crystal was bothered and if I opened the liquid crystal (the specification that opens to 90 degrees below, 180 degrees), it looks a little strange.!

Dust -proof and drip -proof, solid and rigid.The cool tactile and luxurious of titanium, the overall feeling of the whole, and the mechanical atmosphere of the warship club are quite handsome.

I thought it was a camera that had nothing to do with me, but I got stuck in my heart, a snap -loving lover, and welcomed me.I should have gone to see the X-E4, but for some reason X-PRO3.In this rapid development, my heart was rather danced and overflowed with the feeling of "I'll snap up for a while!"That special aura is now my ally!I feel like I got a very cool partner.About 4 months after purchasing, there is unevenness, but I usually shoot about 30 to 50 sheets on average.

Click here for the five points that I like too much of my favorite machine X-PRO3.

・ All of the appearance are handsome (the small window that I felt strangely is now proud)

・ Shutter sound.It sounds quietly.It's cool and comfortable to be too big

・ It is not too heavy, but it has a sense of luxury

・ It's not too big but easy to grip in a moderate size

・ I can feel like I want to take more and more without checking what I took.

As for the lens, I chose XF35mmF2 R WR for X-PRO3.While thinking that a wider angle is a little better for the snap, the emphasis is on the appearance when it is attached (laughs).If you put on an optional metal food, it became more and more handsome.I keep this lens attached.

With a thick and soft leather strap, I hang out from my shoulders, always hang from my shoulders, such as taking a walk or going to work, and shoots the moment I think "oh"I got used to the angle of view.I thought the F -number would be a little brighter, but it was enough brightness for me.You can get the blur taste properly, and it's okay in a dark place.

What is fun is that, as the design philosophy, I don't see how I could shoot with the liquid crystal, so when I put the SD card on my PC and saw it, my own height was "Oh!"Time to be.What did you do well, what you thought was a failure, was a good taste, the film shimilation you chose by mood was hooked, or vice versa.

The accidental element is interesting anyway.Of course, if you want to shoot as you aim, you can make the viewfinder EVF and create a careful composition.But if you do it with this camera somehow, you will feel like you've lost (laughs).

Even if you don't go for a walk, just picking up and looking at it will make you grin.I like the touch, weight, appearance, everything I like.Even in a spectacular house, the shutter is removed.

X-PRO3 is equipped with 17 kinds of simulation.Film simulation is a favorite of colorful "Velvia" and "Classic Nega", which reproduces color granegaphilm, and the examples introduced this time are a lot of classic negas, but the Velvia rate is usually high.

It is clean and decided, and it is taken more and more.Such snap life suddenly became fun.Even when you can't go out too much, you'll have fun shooting in your neighborhood, pets and family, and scattered rooms.

Record a day that is nothing but a piece that can not be done.With X-Pro3, that is special.
