Fujifilm X-Pro3 DURA Coating: First Scratch Resistance Test

Fujifilm X-Pro3

Not all Fujifilm X-Pro3’s are made equal.

Well, they are actually all made out of tough titanium, that make for a particularly durable and solid camera.

But then there are those DURA X-Pro3’s, that are covered by a special coating, that should make the X-Pro3 also super-scratch resistant.

Just a marketing claim?

Well, Gerald Undone was bold enough to make a scratch test on a pre-production DURA silver X-Pro3.

In the video below you can see him taking a blade and scratching hard on the surface of the silver DURA Fujifilm X-Pro3. At the end he says:

No matter how hard I tried, the scuffs just wiped away with just my finger. Pretty cool stuff.

So you are going to pay extra to get the special DURA X-Pro3 coating, but you get indeed a very scratch resistant camera. So one less thing to worry about ;).

Viltrox 85mm f/1.8 Fuji X Mount Autofocus Lens Review Roundup

 

The Viltrox 85mm f/1.8 AF is definitely the hottest non Fujinon lenses of the moment, alone for the reason that, besides the Zeiss Touit Fuji X trinity, it’s the only autofocus lens for the Fujifilm X system.

But, unlike the Zeiss Touit Trinity, it is the only reverse-engineered lens AF lens for Fujifilm X.

Moreover, it is pretty affordable!

So far the reviews have been very positive, and while it can’t match the Fujinon XF quality, it is definitely great value for money.

Hence, we keep up covering this lens in dedicated roundups here on FujiRumors.

The good news?

There will be more!

As we reported here, the Fuji X mount Viltrox 23mm f/1.4, 33mm f/1.4 and 56mm f/1.4 are coming within 2019 with seriously aggressive price tag.

It’s great to see competition coming for our beloved Fujinon XF23mm f/1.4, XF 35mm f/1.4 and XF 56mm f/1.2.

Fujifilm X-T3 vs Canon EOS RP: Which Camera Will Save Your Butt if you Underexpose an Image?

Fujifilm X-T3

After his Canon vs Fujifilm colors comparison, Andrew has now published his full Fujifilm X-T3 vs Canon EOS RP comparison.

Yep, once again, Full Frame vs APS-C… and we find out, that sensor size is not all that matters.

Also sensor technology is important. Canon has its own sensors, which are great in many ways (ie dual pixel AF), but have one shortcoming: they are not iso-less (or iso-invariant) as Sony sensors are (which are used by Fujifilm).

Here is a summary of the video (full video below):
