The flagship Fujifilm X-T2 is Wi-Fi enabled and supports 4K video recording – a first for the X series. The Film Simulation modes used for still images can also be applied to video to easily produce premium quality footage. Autofocus and electronic viewfinder (EVF) performance have also both been substantially improved over the X-T1. The EVF boasts a magnification ratio of 0.77x and a display time lag of just 0.005 seconds.
Weighing a mere 507 grams, the X-T2 has a solid and durable magnesium alloy body that is dust resistant, water resistant, and capable of operating at temperatures as low as -10°C. The camera features the 24.3 megapixel X-Trans CMOS III APS-C sensor with no optical low-pass filter, while the X-Processor Pro high-speed image processing engine helps deliver outstanding results. Combined with the optional weather resistant Vertical Power Booster Grip, the X-T2 can shoot up to approximately 1,000 frames per charge.
The X-T2 also features a signficantly improved start-up time of just 0.3 seconds, shooting interval of 0.17 seconds, and shutter release time lag of 0.045 seconds. The high-speed processing power and enhanced algorithms has significantly improved the basic autofocus performance, with the number of focusing points dramatically expanded from 49 in previous models to 91 in the X-T2.
Intuitive operation is facilitated with mechanical dials for all basic camera settings, including the shutter speed, ISO sensitivity, exposure compensation, drive modes and metering modes. The X-T2 comes with dual SD card slots, which can be set up for “Sequential,” “Backup,” “RAW/JPG” for recording RAW data in Slot 1 and JPEG data in Slot 2, as well as “Video Destination.”
