Fujifilm X-T2 was just recently announced a few weeks ago and it already has thousands of pros eyeing it - a camera that might take X-Pro 2's throne in Fujifilm's mirrorless line.

Sensor/Image Quality

Fujifilm X-T2 is another flagship from Fujifilm, which is promised to be officially released this coming September. Some would-be owners might be in a fence now between the other flagship X-Pro2 and this since they have the same 24.3-megapixel X-Trans III sensor.

We could expect the same or better image quality in this regard.

Video Feature

One notable difference would be the 4K capability. However, some experienced users may be skeptical about this feature as Fujifilm hasn't been all that good in terms of video functions with their cameras. Fujifilm X-T2 boasts 4K at 29.97p down to 23.976p in 10-minute intervals.

Aside from the 4K format, it also supports 1080p from 60p down to 24p and the same goes with 720p.

Since Sony and Panasonic had been monopolizing the video/stills department, Fujifilm is upping its game with X-T2 and this will certainly entice more professionals.

Operation/Shooting Speed

Shooting and operation speed also got some serious facelift with Fujifilm X-T2. It has the capability to burst shoot at 8 frames per second with continuous autofocus enabled. This can be improved further to 11 frames per second through boost mode.

A large leap from X-Pro2's 8 frames per second with single autofocus.

Speaking of Autofocus, X-T2 has a whopping 325 AF points with 169 being phase detection. This is highly useful feature that even goes in par with DSLRs like Nikon's D500, which actually has less autofocus points.

Additional Useful Features

Another cool feature that X-T2 also has is the articulating screen, which is not present with the former flagship, X-Pro2. While this may seem more of a novelty feature, this actually has its uses especially on occasions where there are some complicated angles that need to be shot.

Another nice treat for consumers and would-be owners of Fujifilm X-T2 is the optional booster grip, which is rare for mirrorless cameras. Even for the previous X-Pro2.

With it, shooting stills and videos can be more enjoyable without having to worry too much about running out of juice.

Conclusion

If it does level or even outperform Sony and Panasonic's mirrorless cameras, Fuji might really be earning places on professionals' shooting arsenal.

Watch out for updates as the Fujifilm X-T2 is yet to be released publicly.
