WE TEST FUJIFILM’S FLAGSHIP DSLR-STYLE MIRRORLESS CAMERA IN THE FIELD.

Fujifilm X-T2

THE FUJIFILM X-T2 IS A COMPACT but serious mirrorless camera you can bring anywhere. It hovers between the enthusiast and pro product categories with a feature set and performance levels previously only available in DSLRs. Or in other words, the photographic power that 12 pounds of gear used to deliver is now offered in a camera less than half the weight with all the image quality. Highlights of the Fujifilm X-T2 include an APS-C-sized 24.3-megapixel X-Trans CMOS III sensor with no low-pass filter, and the ability to shoot 4K video.

The Fujifilm X-T2’s speed has been ramped up thanks to the new X-Processor Pro with phase detection autofocus (AF) and predictive AF at up to 8 frames per second (fps) and up to 11 fps when you use the (optional) Vertical Power Booster Grip. Meanwhile, the AF lock is rated at 0.06 seconds. The X-T2’s build, compared to the previous model, feels more substantial as well. It has a die-cast, magnesium alloy, dust- and moisture-resistant body with approximately 63 points of weather sealing and freeze resistance to 14 degrees F. The camera also adds two SD card slots; a three-inch, three-way tilting LCD display on back; and a large OLED electronic viewfinder (EVF), which I found kind of distracting but some photographers might appreciate. (More about the EVF later.)
