“X III is basically styled after a rangefinder camera so it's got no prison bump on the top like the X Pro 2 and it's got the viewfinder in the top left corner here which means that it doesn't have any dials here so what were the drive dial is on the XC 20 that's not here and the ISO” — Andy Mumford
