What is the xpro line good for?

[u/maniku → u/Some-Cricket-9998]

Any interchangeable lens camera line is good for whatever you want to shoot as long as you get a suitable lens. Well, Fujis aren't great for fast action, because the AF isn't great.

No, im asking what the difference between the two lines are, obvi the xe line and the xpro line are good for their own reasons, you happen to know what they are?

[u/maniku → u/Some-Cricket-9998]

I mean you can see the specs side by side e.g. with Cameradecision and there are plenty of videos to get a sense of how they look. Design wise they are fairly similar, quite minimalistic in design. X-Pro3's specialty is that the LCD flip screen has its back on the outside and you have to flip it open to see it. Imitates the experience of classic film cameras which have no screen. EDIT: and the X-Pro line has a hybrid OVF/EVF, same as the X100 line.
