Fujiflim X-Pro2 Review | Fuji vs. Fuji

It’s been 4 long years since the original X-Pro1—Fuji’s first entry in the mirrorless interchangeable lens market—was unveiled. I italicize “long” because, really, 5 years is not that long for a single camera generation. It’s actually pretty typical in the high end DSLR realm.1 The difference with mirrorless is there has been so much advancement that a 4 year old camera in this class can feel hopelessly out of date in some respects. When it comes to photo quality, the X-Pro1 can hang with anything else Fuji has released since. Take a hard look at operation though, and the X-Pro1 immediately shows its age. The X-Pro2 has been rumoured for almost as long as its predecessor has been around. Sadly, recent “leaks” have all but spoiled all the X-Pro2’s marquee features,2 but mockups, photos, and spec sheets don’t tell much of the story when it comes to actually using a camera. The X-Pro2 comes with major improvements like weather sealing that will have an affect on when and where X-Pro shooters use their camera, and a hardware addition of deceptively little consequence in the “Focus Stick” that will improve operation of the camera in a big way. This little thing is actually a bit of a game changer, and will quickly become a top requested feature for future cameras. I’ve had an X-Pro2 for 4 weeks now, with lots of time to test and compare……
