My XT3 has started randomly switching to CH mode on it's own mid shoot, it's only momentarily but there's obviously an issue somewhere. Anyone else hit this problem? Have a fix? I'm shooting tethered and have the battery grip attached. I might try shooting without the battery grip as I've had these develop issues in the past but wondered if it's a common fault.

Sad to hear that and a little concerning. My first generation Fujis are still going strong and I still use them today. Guess I will see how the XPro3 goes but if it does fail I may well just stick with my old ones, they still produce beautiful files.

I recently bought an 'as new' XPro3 and all works perfectly but was looking up another topic today and saw a few rants about reliability that surprised me. Having had an XPro1 since it launched and still using to this day without any issues I was expecting to be still using the XPro3 for years to come in the same way. My XPro cameras are for personal work, I have an XT3 for my day to day studio work so they don't get the same heavy use but still the XPro3 is not that old so surprising to see them failing so soon. Is it a bad batch maybe or is it widespread? I've not seen a viral level of complaints but interested to know how other users have found their XP3 after a number of years use? I personally love it, not on an XPro1 level but I still love it all the same so hoping it will last!

Only just come across this but have to agree, I'm running with a couple of XT1's and an XPro1 still today and I think the XPro1 still edges it. I've owned an XT2 which is long gone, tried an XPro3 and never found the urge to actually buy one as I was happy with the original and the files didn't have that magic. I'm talking RAW file here, I never shoot jpg. I struggle a bit with the OVF due to the lack of diopter but with the EVF I just take my glasses off. My Canon 5D IV only comes out for fast moving and some commercial work but I'm still using the first generation Fujis and will happily continue to do so. My XT1 is a solid option for both studio and natural light, whereas my XPro1 is my natural light weapon of choice!
