Fujifilm X-Pro2 vs Fujifilm X-T3: Physical Specs and Body features Comparison

Size and weight is a big decision factor when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs. In this section, We are going to illustrate Fujifilm X-Pro2 and Fujifilm X-T3 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions.

Below you can see the front view size comparison of Fujifilm X-Pro2 and Fujifilm X-T3. Fujifilm X-Pro2 is 10mm shorter and 3mm thinner than Fujifilm X-T3 but it is also 8mm wider.

Fujifilm X-Pro2 vs Fujifilm X-T3 Detailed Size Comparison

Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day. Fujifilm X-Pro2 is 44g lighter than the Fujifilm X-T3 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.

Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you have to also take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since both Fujifilm X-Pro2 and Fujifilm X-T3 have the same APS-C sized sensor, their lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will be similar in size and weight.

LCD Screen Size and Features

Fujifilm X-Pro2 and Fujifilm X-T3's LCD screens has the same diagonal size of 3".

Fujifilm X-Pro2 vs Fujifilm X-T3: Sensor Comparison

Fujifilm X-Pro2 has a 24.0MP APS-C (23.6 x 15.6 mm ) sized CMOS X-TRANS III sensor and features EXR Processor III processor. On the other hand, Fujifilm X-T3 has a 26.0MP APS-C (23.5 x 15.6 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor and features X-Processor 4 processor.

Another similarity between these two cameras is that both Fujifilm X-T3 and Fujifilm X-Pro2 sensors lack anti-alias (Low-Pass) filters. Removing anti-alias filter increases the sharpness and level of detail but at the same time, it increases the chance of moire occurring in certain scenes.

Below you can see the X-Pro2 and X-T3 sensor size comparison.

Fujifilm X-Pro2 vs Fujifilm X-T3 Sensor Size Comparison


Fujifilm X-Pro2 and Fujifilm X-T3 have almost the same sensor size so none of them has any significant advantage over other in providing control over depth of field when used with same focal length and aperture.
