I'm afraid I did it again. Made the mistake to go out and try the new X-T2, announced at the beginning of July, 2016. There is no silver option this time, maybe next year (a fuji tech told me).
It has all the features I loved in my previous X-T2 (see above)
- 24 Mpxls X-Trans sensor (still APS-C with a x1.5 factor)
- dual slot for CD cards (choice of extend, backup and jpeg/raw storage)
- faster autofocus (way more points, up to 325 across the frame)
and more:
- more film simulations (notable the new ACROS B&W with R/G/Y filters)
- 4K video mode (much better video support overall)
- better grip (even counting the new options)
- booster grip with two batteries
- better dials (slightly higher, better locking system)
- better manufacturing (like, the SD trap)
The autofocus has more points and is supposedly much faster (everyone seems to agree), the menus have been re-structured and are better (that I can see for now).
Yeah, I bought it, having a friend of mine ready to buy my (much loved) X-T1. So sue me.
I'm still thinking about the booster grip. I loved it on my K5/K3 but it really adds weight and size to this wonderfully small camera… I did try the new XF 100-400mm, it is big, not very fast (ƒ5.6-6.3) but when you need a longer reach than the 55-200mm or the 50-140mm, it does the job.
One example, shot in darkish conditions with the new ACROS film. At ISO 5000 it is just perfect. Norig
I think I'm in love with Black & White photography again.
