Nikon D750 vs Fujifilm X-Pro3 Comparison Overview

Here we are comparing two cameras with different body types: Nikon D750, which was introduced in September 2014 is a Semi-Pro DSLR camera with a 24.0MP Full frame sensor whereas Fujifilm X-Pro3, which was introduced in October 2019 is a Semi-Pro Mirrorless camera with a 26.0MP APS-C sensor.
