If the X Pro 3 was any indication of this, then I believe Fujifilm may lose customers. In a recent interview, Fujifilm said they won’t be offering as many firmware updates to their cameras in the future. I’d be alright with slight modifications, but this should be a photographer’s camera first. I sincerely hope they keep this screen and the e-ink display for the X Pro 4. Do you know how people geek out over Hasselblad and Mamiya medium format cameras? Well, you’d use the X Pro 3’s screen like those cameras with the top-down viewfinder without the opposite movement patterns. When you use it, you should be using it TLR or top-down medium format style. If you do use it, it should be used rarely. The LCD screen on the X Pro 3 is designed to mimic the look of film. They’ll often rely on us, the accredited press, to do that. And as I’ve told Japanese manufacturers often, Fujifilm did a poor job of educating people about it. Many folks who probably started to pick up cameras in the past few years or never touched a film camera before complain about the Fujifilm X Pro 3’s screen. With the X Pro 4, I hope Fujifilm rights some mistakes. Even after the X Pro 4 is announced, I’ll keep my X Pro 3 because of how fantastic a camera it is. The X Pro 3 is for tried and true photographers who have shot film previously and don’t need to use the screen all the time. While Fujifilm says the X Pro 3 didn’t sell well for them, I know many folks who have it. With the new Fujifilm XT5 out of the bag, it’s time for a significant update to the X Pro 3. If Fujifilm users across the board received as few firmware updates as the brand’s X Pro 3, I think they’d all leave the camera system.
