Following in the philosophical footsteps of the Leica M10-D, Fujifilm’s taking the less-is-more approach for the next generation of its rangefinder-style mirrorless, the X-Pro3. It’s designed to be used with the LCD closed to minimize distractions, instead displaying a small status LCD with information like shutter speed, aperture and ISO on it. The camera also inherits the better sensor and …
