Retro-looking cameras with digital innards are some of the trendiest tech accessories. But if I made a list of the modern cameras that felt the most like film, the Fujifilm X-Pro3 would sit at the top of that list. Why? The X-Pro3’s hybrid electronic-optical viewfinder creates a more film-like feel than other digital cameras made to look old.
Fujifilm arguably started making retro-style cameras before the old school look became trendy. I’ve long been a fan of Fujifilm’s top dials, which is one of the biggest reasons I own a X-T4. But when I tried out the Fujifilm X-Pro3, the camera’s rangefinder-inspired design felt more like a truly retro camera than any other digital camera. (The other brand that crafts rangefinder-inspired digital cameras exceptionally well is Leica.)
