According to the latest coming from the Fuji rumor mill, the Fuji X-Pro3 successor, which might be called the Fuji X-Pro 5 or the Fuji X-Pro 6 depending upon the time of its arrival and siblings’ name at that time, is delayed and one thing for sure no X-Pro 4 coming. Even the rumor mill is sure of one thing NO X-PRO series update will arrive in 2025, which is why it’s safe to say it may arrive in 2026.
So what’s the biggest reason that Fuji is continuously delaying the update of the Fuji X-Pro series camera? The marketing team has seen the sales numbers of the Fuji X-Pro3 camera, and due to the LOW VOLUME of purchases made compared to the previous two versions of the camera, the series has been delayed for further updates.
And what’s the biggest reason behind the low sales numbers of the X-Pro3? It was the display screen. They have created a unique kind of display screen, which was good for nothing, and if you want to see the actual display of the camera, you have to go through a very hard way. The display was not properly tilting in the backward direction of the camera, so it was kind of an entire design blunder. They were trying to make a kind of Leica M11 series or what we don’t know at this moment, but the existing user base of the X-Pro series camera was not that happy. Even at the time of the announcement, I have posted the comments I have received, and the feedback that I received at that moment mostly suggested that better to invest in the X-T series rather than getting this camera with this weird type of display.
Fuji must learn from their past mistakes. Whenever they want to announce the X-Pro series, it’s completely good; it depends upon their own marketing team’s decision and whatever future strategies they have—it’s all okay. But they should at least include a good fixed display screen in their camera, or even if they want to add a very handy tilting display, it’s most welcome. They should keep it as simple as possible for photographers.

This article nails it. I’ve been using the Fuji X-Pro 3 for years, and I agree—Fuji should skip the X-Pro 4 and focus on delivering something innovative like the X-Pro 6. The hidden LCD on the X-Pro 3 was divisive, but I love it for staying focused on photography.
@Ethaan You know, I’ve stuck with my X-Pro 2 for precisely this reason. I didn’t upgrade to the X-Pro 3 because the design changes—like the hidden LCD—felt impractical. I hope Fuji gets the balance right if they’re planning something big for 2026.
Same here! I was considering the X-Pro series, but the whole hidden LCD concept pushed me toward the X-T4 instead. I love Fuji’s colors and handling, but functionality comes first for me. I’m glad I made the switch.
Interesting. I’ve always admired Fuji cameras, but I avoided the X-Pro series entirely because of their experimental designs. I ended up with the Nikon Zfc and later upgraded to Zf—it feels retro without compromising on usability. Maybe Fuji should take notes!
Great to see an article just come out with the facts on this flawed camera. Didnt it have problems with the lcd ribbon breaking too?
