The Worst Thing for Fujifilm: Legendary Photographer David Hurn Still Shoots an X-Pro2 in 2025
Six years ago, we wrote about legendary photographer David Hurn and how he was shooting with a Fujifilm X-Pro2 — and, more importantly, what he had to say about it.
Fast forward six years, and a new video featuring David Hurn has surfaced online. And guess what? He’s still walking around with the very same Fujifilm X-Pro2, quietly documenting whatever crosses his path.
This is probably the worst possible thing that could happen to Fujifilm’s marketing department — because it proves that “older” cameras are still more than capable of producing wonderful images and we don’t always need the latest and greatest.
In other words, who needs the Fujifilm X-Pro4, right? ;). All it takes is a photographer who spends more time walking, observing, and shooting than comparing charts, specs, and autofocus graphs.
And yes, I’m mocking myself here. So don’t feel offended — this is a message primarily addressed to my humble self: go out, walk… walk a lot… and shoot more.
That said, the video itself is genuinely fascinating. At just six minutes long, it feels more like a 15-second YouTube Short — in the best possible way. Which is my way of saying: go watch it. You’ll enjoy every second.
And on that note, I’m heading out shooting now. I’ll grab my eight-year-old Fujifilm X-E3 — a camera I’ve completely ignored since getting the (wonderful) Fujifilm X-E5 (to be honest, I have also ignored my Fujifilm X-T5 since I have the X-E5).
Time to fix that.
