Fujifilm X-T2: Hands on Review | Waleed Shah
This year was a good year for me. I was approached by Fujifilm Middle East to become an official Fuji-X-Photographer. Obviously I said “Hell to the yes!!!”. My first project was to test out and review the X-T2. I had read those early rumors online about full frame possibilities and different batteries and of course, having accumulated a ton of lenses and batteries I was a little worried.Actually before we get started, a quick note: If you like any of the images in the post and want use them you can get the high res versions HEREBatterySitting down at the Fujifilm Middle East office, the team presented the camera to me and as I unboxed it the two batteries greeted me first. YES!!! Same size batteries!!! But wait, it gets better. The new battery actually packs more heat than the old one. I don’t have any numbers to back this up but from a general feeling it last about twice as long as the old battery when using the X-T2. So yes, you can still use the old batteries but if you’re buying extra then I recommend dishing out a few extra bucks and getting the new ones, just because the X-T2 uses up more power than its predecessor.SizeWhen I held it it my hands I felt it was a little bigger and heavier than the X-T1, just 50 grams heavier. Not enough to bother me though. After a few days I forgot about the size difference and focused on all the new stuff it has to offer. Here are a few side by side photos to get the discussions started…..
