According rumors coming from Fuji rumors, Fuji X Pro 3 camera is coming on October 2019. Sony and Fuji do have a long-term relationship, the X-Trans sensor we see inside Fuji X-Series camera are designed by Fuji engineers and developed by Sony.
Fuji small sensor Compacts (most of them discontinued now) were using Toshiba sensor which is now a part of Sony semiconductor business.
Fuji X-Pro 3 possible specification
- 26.1MP / 24MP APS-C X-Trans CMOS Sensor
- X-Processor 4 with Quad CPU
- 4K60 Video
- 5-Axis In-Body Image Stabilization
- 3″ 1.04m-Dot 3-Way Tilt LCD Touchscreen
- Weather-Sealed Magnesium-Alloy Body
We do expect that the upcoming camera is expected to feature 26 Megapixel X-Trans CMOS sensor and X-processor pro with Quad core as we have seen inside the Fuji X-T3 camera and Fuji GFX 100.
Other than that in the list of commercially available sensor, we have 24MP APS-C FI sensor which is of-course a step backward towards compared to 26 MP BSI CMOS Sensor.
In the list of commercially available sensors we have 24 MP and 26 MP sensors only. So it’s bit hard to expect a brand new sensor from with a different resolution.
Other contradictory thing is to reach reach out more consumers Fuji announced the X-T30 camera with 4th generation of 26MP X-Trans sensor under $899 price tag.
So, they have to bring something new, just by adding few new features with IBIS with Same 26MP sensor at a higher price range won’t catch Fuji or others users attention.

Fujifilm has so far been unable to develop compact IBIS for their X bodies. Should X-Pro 3 correct this situation, it would become serious competition for Sony A6xxx. I’ll believe it when I see it.
X-Pro 3, IMHO, should eliminate virtually useless OVF, create EVF as good as T3 has and introduce flip screen. I think an inbuilt flash would be good as well (previous Pros had none).
Awaiting for the relevant specification
Would Love to Buy
I am waiting for Fuji to take my money as soon as the X-Pro3 is available.
What about compatible zoom lens..
500mm or more zoom lens are not available for Fujifilm cameras
Where you sourced this particular info from (IBIS, flip screan)?
I haven’t seen anything like it anywhere else.
@ GeorgeS
I think that for such camera the OVF is fine and the EVF should be eliminated along with the video recording. There is the T3 and other models which have EVF and video. The addition of IBIS is acceptable if will not contribute to price increase. The Fuji cameras are expensive compared to FF mirrorless competition and the X-trans declared supremacy is fading in-spite of permanent grind off in paid reviews. Anyway I like the PRO range, but an eventual upgrade is questionable.
