Wedding photographer Javi Reyes left Sony for Fujifilm. In his case, he switched from Sony A7III to Fujifilm X-T3.
In a 23 minutes video he explains his switch. Here is why:
Photons to Photos added the Fujifilm X-Pro3 to their database, and you can now compare it to all other cameras in their database.
I did compare it to the Fujifilm X-T3 and Fujifilm X-T30, and the Fujifilm X-Pro3, despite having the same processor and sensor, shows a sensible advantage over the X-T3 and X-T30.
So has it better dynamic range?
Bill Claff explains:
The X-Pro3 appears to have improved PDR but it is an illusion.
It’s well known that Fuji implements the ISO setting in an unusual way.
In this case they have given ISO 320 to ISO 12800 an addition 1 stop boost.Fuji uses a proprietary Exif tag called “Raw Exposure Bias” to indicate how much they have shifted the raw data from “standard”.
Adjusted in Excel for Raw Exposure Bias we see that the X-Pro3 and X-T3 are essentially identical. (They shift to dual conversion gain at a slightly different point).
You can access and manipulate the data here at Photons to Photos. Bill Claff’s comment has been added on dpreview.

FR-reader Lars contacted me and wrote:
Today I got my X-Pro3 back from Fuji Service with a new firmware update vers. 1.02. That update was actually released already on 16. January regarding the Fuji Website. But when you click on it you go to the vers. 1.01 that was released in December and the file is the same too.
I did check, and indeed, on the firmware list page, Fujifilm mentiones X-Pro3 firmware 1.02 as released on January 16. As you can see from the screenshot above, it says:
The phenomenon that in rare cases, a freeze could occur is fixed
But once you click and enter on the X-Pro3 firmware download page here, all you see is firmware 1.01.
My guess? Fujifilm will release another firmware update, maybe ver.1.1, which will incorporate the bug fixed with 1.02 as well as other issues.
