Fujifilm X-Pro3

The Fujifilm X-Pro3 is a mirrorless camera released in 2019, built around a 26MP APS-C sensor and the Fujifilm X lens mount.

It is a compact body at 141 x 83 x 46mm and 497g, so it is easy to carry for long days out. Weather sealing adds protection from dust and moisture when you shoot outside.

That combination suits photographers who want a light kit for everyday and travel shooting, with enough resolution for prints and 4K video available when the moment calls for it.

The 26MP APS-C sensor pairs with the X-Processor 4, giving plenty of resolution for prints and some room to crop. The Fujifilm X mount ties the camera into Fujifilm's own lens system.

For action, the camera can shoot at a top rate of 11 fps. The maximum shutter speed of 1/32000s helps in bright light or when you want wide apertures without overexposing.

Autofocus offers 117 points to work with, and the ISO range runs from 160 to 12800. That spread gives flexibility across bright daylight and dimmer interiors, letting you keep shooting as the light falls.

There is no in-body stabilisation, so steady handheld shooting in low light relies on faster shutter speeds, careful technique, stabilised lenses or a support. The 3.69-million-dot electronic viewfinder gives a detailed preview of your frame before you shoot.

The camera records video at up to 4K, a resolution that suits playback on large screens and leaves some room to crop in the edit.

The fastest frame rate reaches 120 fps, which produces slow-motion footage when played back at normal speed. The maximum resolution and maximum frame rate are separate limits, so 4K and 120 fps do not by themselves describe a combined recording mode.

Files are recorded in MPEG-4 using H.264 compression. A built-in timelapse function lets you create moving sequences from a series of still intervals, with no extra accessories needed to use it.

For handheld video, the absence of in-body stabilisation means smooth footage relies on steady technique, a stabilised lens or a support such as a tripod for locked-off shots.

The 3-inch LCD carries 1.62 million dots for a detailed view when framing or reviewing shots. The screen flips out to help at awkward angles, and touch input offers another way to control the camera.

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are both built in, so the camera carries two wireless connection options for linking with other devices.

There is no built-in flash, so any flash work needs an external unit, which the camera supports. Weather sealing protects against dust and moisture, though it does not make the camera waterproof. Live view is available for composing on the screen rather than through the viewfinder.

Two card slots take SD, SDHC and SDXC cards, with UHS-II compatibility for faster card performance. The second slot lets you keep a spare card loaded in the camera, so a fresh card is always ready without searching a bag.

The NP-W126S battery is rated at 400 shots, though rated figures depend on their test conditions and can differ from real-world results. For longer outings, carrying a spare battery is a sensible addition, and the rating gives a rough guide for planning a shoot.

USB charging lets you top up the battery between shoots from a USB power source, which is handy when travelling with minimal kit.
