As a Fujifilm X-Photographer and dedicated fan of the Fujifilm X Series System, I had a feeling that something new was coming! The X-T1 was a terrific camera, one that has served me very well for the past few years, but when I experienced an early prototype of the X-Pro2, I started wishing and praying the X-T2 would have those fantastic improvements if and when it arrived. For just a minute, let\u2019s pretend (I love to pretend, so let\u2019s pretend) that Fujifilm called me and said, \u201cBill, what would you like to have in the new X-T2?\u201d Well, when I got the chance to shoot an early prototype of the X-T2, I realized just how innovative and talented those folks at Fujifilm really are: it\u2019s as if the X Series engineers could read my mind!<\/p>\n

Fujifilm doesn\u2019t make life very easy for us, choosing between the already incredible X-Pro2 and the now newly released X-T2.\u00a0 The new X-T2 is the perfect option for people like me that do a number of different kinds of photography: nature\/landscape, wildlife, travel, close-ups and Americana.\u00a0 The newly developed viewfinder in the X-T2 is the best electronic viewfinder of any Fujifilm camera so far \u2013 and that\u2019s saying a lot!\u00a0 With increased magnification and resolution, the X-T2 is a pleasure to see the world through – and with that viewfinder, it\u2019s a beautiful world.<\/p>\n

One of the new features that is especially valuable for capturing a variety of moods in landscape photography is the new ACROS Black and White film simulation.\u00a0 I shoot in jpeg file mode and shoot Velvia, Provia and Acros as my three film simulations.\u00a0 When studying a landscape\u2019s potential, I need the three options for capturing the best scene in the most effective way. The X-T2 is wonderful in how easy it makes it for me to do just that: this camera is the perfect instrument for all landscape photographers.<\/p>\n

The newly developed X-Trans CMOS III sensor gives a great boost in resolution with its 24.3 megapixels. It has gorgeous gradation and maintains superb low noise performance as the previous X-T1 sensor, actually even around a stop better!<\/p>\n

Another sheer joy on the X-T2 is the placement and action of the buttons and dials, all making the use of the camera sleekly enhanced. The new joystick is a great improvement for moving the focus points and one improvement I can\u2019t live without now that I\u2019ve experienced it.<\/p>\n

Hey, all this is wonderful but the bottom line for any camera is the image quality and the new X-T2 delivers in spades!\u00a0 Team the new X-T2 with those incredible FUJINON XF lenses and the results are simply amazing.
\nOnce again, Fujifilm has delivered up a fantastic tool for us to go out into this beautiful world and capture it all!
