i got 45 minutes to shoot this xpro3 today. feels pretty nice overall.
controls tactility better than xe4 as expected. i dislike the shutter dial. it has play in the outer ring from also being the iso dial, which feels pretty bad when you're paying so much more for this body over an xe or xt which have solid crisp ss dials. the iso dial is very annoying to adjust as expected. i found the shutter dial lock button very irritating and i don't understand why it auto locks at A and cannot be locked any other time. this seems to me worse than having no lock at all. I noticed that the aperture ring on the 27/2.8 wr is set up this way and i hate it there too. it fails and even negates what i understand to be the goal of a lock button, which is to stop the control from accidental movement. this type of lock does not prevent accidental changes from any position but A and instead makes it take longer to fix such a change if it happened to land on A. not sure what advantages this lock setup has over the one on the xt which simply toggles lock/unlock at any position. it feels like such a big design mistake that i must be missing something..? if anyone knows how to use these properly, pls help
the other thing i noticed is that the 35mm fl has a pretty small frame on the ovf. rough that fuji took away the ovf magnification adjustment on the 3, and puzzling that they included frame lines for 56mm and 90mm but not 18 when it's meant to be a street/documentary body...
it is fun to shoot and i like the screen situation, but there's a lot of design on this camera that i do not understand.
