For whatever reason I keep getting drawn to the X-Pro3.

I have an X100F, X-Pro2 and X-T30 and don't really need to upgrade, but that X-Pro3 is calling me from afar. I love the styling, ergonomics, handling and OVF/EVF of the X-Pro2 and the tilt screen, auto-focus and 4k video of the X-T30 so it seems the X-Pro3 has all I like about both rolled up in one body...

These days the X-T30 doesn't leave the house much and I only seem to pull it out for the video when family visits..

Anyone else being drawn toward the X-Pro3 as I am?

I am interested in handling the camera and getting a feel for shooting with it when my local camera shop gets a copy. I have always been a dslr-style camera shooter, with the exception of my X100 and my Ricoh GRII. I demo'ed a GFX 50R and could not come to grips (HA!) with the ergonomics and feel of the body - it was like holding a box in my hand and it was aggravating. I think the X-Pro3 balances the styling with the ergonomics and I appreciate the simplified rear of the camera, around the area where my thumb sits.

I appreciate the focus on photography versus video and I do not have the built-in muscle memory and intuitive relationship that X-Pro2 users have with their current camera, so the somewhat radical changes between models is not an issue for me. I think it will be a terrific complement to my X-H1 and GFX 50S. I am left-eyed, but that has never really been an issue with the X100 and the OVF/EVF - the switch between the two is seamless, other than the X100 generally being slow.

I am looking forward to trying the new version for sure.

I wish we had a camera store near where I could look at anything fuji. My purchases are all based on reviews and research.

Thanks for posting..

If you have any specific questions or need me to take photos or measurements or try some sort of experiment, etc. when I get to see one in person, just PM me with a list of requests.

I feel I know all I need about the camera would just like to hold one and snap a couple of shots.
I'm sure it feels an operates like my X-Pro2 with a better EVF and the insides of my X-T30.

Thank you for the offer..
