DigitalRev (without Kai) shared its Fujifilm X-T2 First Impressions on youtube.

I recommend you to go directly to minute 6:00 to see how the X-T2 compares to the X-Pro2 when tracking a flying drone. The X-T2 has been set to Electronic Shutter and 14fps shooting (no blackout).

From their conclusions by tracking the drone:

“It’s amazing. Only 1 shot was out of focus, and it’s purely my fault! With this Autofocus System, Fujifilm has a winner in their hands! I had a lot more keepers with the X-T2 compared to the X-Pro2.

For Sport fans: Get excited! The X-T2 is exactly what it promises… and a little bit more“

They also say the larger Viewfinder and refresh rate helps so much to better track the subject.

I remind you that Fujifilm said that the X-Pro2 will get the new improved AF-algorythm of the X-T2 in a Firmware udpate on October. So I guess there won’t be such a significant AF-discrepancy between the two flagships after the udpate. However, keep in mind that the new Fuji X-T2 AF-Tracking Custom Settings will not be implemented on the X-Pro2 via Firmware update. So for sports, you better go for the X-T2.

And get a grip, too :-)

Medium Format Fuji :: The Design

Did I ever tell you that every rumor, especially the ones that come from New or Anonymous sources, has to be taken with a grain of salt? And you should have a bit of salt ready this time, because this rumor comes from a brand new source I had the pleasure to exchange some emails (thanks :-) ).

The New Source possibly shared the answer to one of our Top 7 Medium Format Fujifilm Questions: Will the Medium Format Fuji have a Rangefinder or DSLR design?

According to the New Source, the Medium Format Fujifilm Camera will have a DSLR shape.

End of the Rumor

If true, then we can expect a camera with centered Viewfinder, just like the Digital Mirrorless Medium Format Hasselblad X1D… and the Fujfilm X-T2 of course.

And since the DSLR styled X-T1 is by far Fuji’s most successful camera (and also the X-T10 sold better than the X-E2), I guess Fujifilm simply decided to go for the form-factor that was the best selling so far.

So high time to launch the rumored Fujifilm Medium Format Camera Specs list:

Source Right in The Past

  • Will be launched along with 3 lenses (rumor here)
  • Will be mirrorless with interchangeable lenses (rumor here)

Lucky Fujifilm :: 24MP X-TransIII Sensors Produced before Kumamoto Earthquake :: No Significant X-T2 Shipping Delay :-)

Many times we X-shooters had to wait more than expected for X-gear to ship… and sometimes the waiting was just ridiculously long, just like in case of the X100S, announced in January, but only widely available in October.

But sometimes…

sometimes even X-shooters are lucky. And in this case the good news comes from mirrorlessrumors.

They say that many companies are delaying the launch and shipping of their products for at least 4 months, due to the Kumamoto earthquake… but not Fujifilm:

And a lucky note on Fuji: They ordered a big lot of the X-T2 sensors made by Sony long before the Kumamoto earthquake. And lucky enough Sony produced most of those sensors before the shutdown in April. Fuji could ship the new X-T2 already now but they prefered to start shipping the cameras in September to reduce the production gab between this first batch of cameras and the second batch that is affected by Sony’s production delay.

Good news, at least for us Fujifilm aficionados. And this might also explain why some stores initially marked the X-T2 as available in August (actually some still say this way), while they now changed to September 8.
