With the X-T2, I finally get why people love Fujifilm cameras
I've tested a handful of Fujifilm cameras over the years, but none of them have convinced me to switch from my shooter of choice, the Sony A7 II. That full-frame sensor is hard to beat. But, with the recently announced X-T2, I might be willing to reconsider. Fujifilm's new flagship mirrorless offers everything you'd want from a $1,600 (body-only) camera: sleek design, top-notch performance and, most importantly for some, a robust lens ecosystem.
24 hours with Fujifilm's X-T2 mirrorless camera
The long-awaited Fujifilm X-T2 finally made its debut last week, bringing with it a completely revamped set of specs compared with its predecessor, the X-T1. One of the highlights of the new compact shooter is its 4K video support -- a first for Fujifilm's X-Series line of digital cameras. But there's more to like here beyond the UHD (3,840 x 2,160) recording. Inside, the mirrorless X-T2 packs a 24.3-megapixel (APS-C) X-Trans CMOS III sensor, the same one found on the flagship X-Pro2. That's complemented by the X-Processor Pro imaging chip, which the manufacturer says uses enhanced algorithms to help produce its most accurate autofocus system yet.
Fujifilm's X-T2 camera pairs a familiar design with 4K video
Based on recent conversations with Fujifilm camera users, I know many of them couldn't wait for the X-T1 successor to be announced. And well, that day is finally here. Today, Fujifilm introduced its new X-T2 mirrorless shooter, a major upgrade over the X-T1 from 2014. The X-T2 features a 24.3-megapixel (APS-C) X-Trans CMOS III sensor without a low-pass filter, which should help capture sharp, DSLR-like images. Additionally, there's an X-Processor Pro chip that, according to Fujifilm, uses improved algorithms to produce a more accurate autofocus system (325 single points, 91 zone).
