I should also note, that while I strive to create very technically crafted images, I consider myself more of an artist by nature. My specialty really is just capturing the most beautiful images possible of the world around me. This is because, first of all, squirrels are not to be trusted, and two, I’m 100% location independent so I technically don’t even have a back yard. So I’m not going to bore you with vignetting falloff charts, or comparisons of each f-stop with images of squirrels and trees in my backyard. This article is really meant to be an overview of my experiences using the Fujifilm X-T2. Welcome to the new X-T2!įor everyone who knows me-as well as anyone who has just stumbled onto this review-it’s important for me to point out that while I’m extremely detail oriented with my photography, my reviews are more about sharing actual in-the-field results rather than getting overly technical about the camera gear itself. Or would you rather have only an electronic viewfinder in the center of the camera, more similar to the style of a DSLR? Is shooting 4k video important to your workflow? If so, then the X-T2 is the logical choice. X-Pro2 fans would likely argue the same thing, so if you’re on the fence about which one to purchase, my advice is to visit your local camera shop and pick them both up to get a feel for what style of camera you most prefer.ĭo you like having an Optical Viewfinder with an Electronic Viewfinder toggle, and with the viewfinder on the side of the camera? If so, then the X-Pro2 is the logical choice.

Well, let me start by saying that I could happily shoot only with the X-Pro2 but there’s just something about the feel and ergonomics of the X-T series that keeps me coming back to it again and again. As a result, Fujifilm has effectively created two flagship camera models and each has a very strong and diverse fan base. When you compare the X-Pro Series to the X-T Series, while internally they may be nearly the same, in both look and feel on the exterior they are two completely different cameras. While many people purchased the X-Pro2 right away, many people decided to hold out for the news of when the X-T2 would be released. The news of the X-Pro2 also created huge buzz on the internet about the potential of an upcoming release of the X-T2. With the X-Pro2, Fujifilm took things to the next level with a brand new 24 megapixel sensor, faster processor, updated menu interface, and countless new features that had the photography world-and obviously myself included-extremely excited.

(Stitched Pano of 6 vertical images, X-Pro2, XF 10-24 at 12mm, f/8, 1.7 seconds, ISO 200) Conveniently enough, with the venue being hosted in Dubai, I had the opportunity to put it to the test right away and capture a panoramic image of the city as thick fog rolled through the streets.

More recently, during Gulf Photo Plus in February, I was handed a brand new X-Pro2. Read my Detailed Review of the X-E1, X-E2, and X-T1 Cameras and Lenses.
From the point I first picked it up, to the point I was handed the newly updated X-T2, that camera has never left my side. Though I loved working with the X-E1 and the faster X-E2, the first camera that really clicked with me was the X-T1. The Evolution of Fujifilm Cameras and Lenses into My Daily WorkflowĮver since May of 2013-beginning with the X-E1-I’ve had an awesome time working with the Fujifilm X-Series Cameras and Lenses, and throughout those 3+ years, I’ve managed to travel and shoot with them in well over 40 countries, spanning nearly every possible photography condition. Gaffers Tape! Yup, it turns out that almost anything can be solved with a bit of tape. So the big question is, how do you keep one of the most highly anticipated cameras secret while shooting in some of the most popular destinations in the world? Well, allow me to reveal the very clever first rule of prototype camera secrecy… During the process, Fujifilm Headquarters referred to us as “Field Agents,” which truth be told, made me feel like I was part of some strange espionage travel show as I traversed the Greek Islands looking for unique and interesting photography locations. I was very excited to be chosen for this project and equally excited to be trusted with the secrecy of the Fujifilm X-T2. I’m proud to be one of the few photographers in the world that has had the opportunity to field test the X-T2, and over the past few months, I’ve traveled from Japan, to Italy, Greece, and Singapore, to put this camera through its paces, report my findings, and see what shots I could capture along the way. I’m very excited to say that today, the Fujifilm X-T2 has officially been announced!
