I love to take pictures of weddings in a photojournalistic way. And that&#8217;s where the X-Pro3 helps a lot: The X-Pro3 is light and small and noiseless. I don&#8217;t want to ruin situations because I am there as a photographer (I do not want to destroy or influence conditions by my presence). This camera helps me to be as invisible as possible. And not to forget: it has excellent image quality, dynamic range, and ISO performance. These are the essential functions that a camera has to handle that satisfies my needs.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp_flexbox col2\">\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/differentbreed_stefanfinger_01-1-300x200.jpg?width=300&#038;height=200\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4189283\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\"  data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/li>\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/differentbreed_stefanfinger_02-1-300x200.jpg?width=300&#038;height=200\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4189284\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\"  data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To be honest: when I first saw the little LCD on the back \u2013 I thought: What&#8217;s that for? But now, using the camera for a month or so, I wouldn&#8217;t like to miss this screen. I do not need to switch the camera on to see how many pictures I can take and if I have to change the battery. That helps a lot and saves time.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp_flexbox col3\">\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/differentbreed_stefanfinger_03-1-200x300.jpg?width=200&#038;height=300\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4189285\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\"  data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/li>\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/differentbreed_stefanfinger_04-1-200x300.jpg?width=200&#038;height=300\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4189286\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\"  data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/li>\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/differentbreed_stefanfinger_05-1-200x300.jpg?width=200&#038;height=300\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4189287\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\"  data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Before the X-Pro3, I used the X-T3 and X-Pro2 for weddings and photojournalism. I love how the X-Pro2 looks, and it just feels good in my hands and is fun. But I also took the X-T3, which is a very good camera \u2013 no doubt. For me, the X-Pro series works better. But I took the X-T3 for the tilt screen and the better sensor. Now the X-Pro3 has a tilt LCD as well. For low angel shoots or if I do portraits of people who do not feel safe while I shoot, this screen helps me out.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp_flexbox col2\">\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/differentbreed_stefanfinger_06-1-300x200.jpg?width=300&#038;height=200\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4189288\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\"  data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/li>\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/differentbreed_stefanfinger_07-1-300x200.jpg?width=300&#038;height=200\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4189289\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\"  data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I shoot weddings because it&#8217;s incredibly fun. As a wedding photographer, I am the most personal service provider. I am in situations directly with my bridal couple, in which perhaps the maximum of the maid of honor or best man or parents are present. I am present when the zipper of the dress tears when putting on, when the groom first sees his bride on that day and when the bride puts a flower from her bridal bouquet on the grave of her deceased father after the wedding ceremony. I want to capture situations with my camera as they are, without intervening or changing anything through my presence. The improved electronic viewfinder helps me a lot: I see directly what my picture looks like, I am able to compose the pictures better and do not need to look on the screen constantly to make sure that everything is properly exposed and looks like I imagined it. I see through the viewfinder exactly what the picture looks like. As a result, I&#8217;m more with my couples, can better respond to them, without having to deal with the camera technology.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp_flexbox col3\">\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/differentbreed_stefanfinger_08-1-200x300.jpg?width=200&#038;height=300\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4189290\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\"  data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/li>\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/differentbreed_stefanfinger_09-1-200x300.jpg?width=200&#038;height=300\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4189291\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\"  data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/li>\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/differentbreed_stefanfinger_10-1-200x300.jpg?width=200&#038;height=300\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4189292\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\"  data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The X-Pro3 has become a perfect companion for me.
