BHphoto (and Adorama) expect Fujifilm X-T2 available for Mid August!

Fujifilm X-T2 available mid August

They might be a bit too optimistic, but let’s hope they are right: BHphoto expects the Fujifilm X-T2 available for mid August.

A FR-reader also wrote to Adorama, asking when the X-T2 will be shipped, and they answered:

Thank you for your inquiry on the status of your backorder.
According to the manufacturer estimates we expect to fulfill your order for the following item(s)
SKU IFJXT2 by 2nd week of August

Please note these are estimated dates given to us by the manufacturer. They are generally accurate, but are subject to change at the discretion of manufacturer.”

What’s Taurus?

A weekend curiosity. When I opened the new Fujifilm Catalogue, I noticed that on my Firefox Tab, instead of “X-T2“, the name “Taurus_EN_Cover” appreared. Sounds like some kind of secret code Fuji used for the X-T(aurus)2. But maybe you have better specualtions.

And if you are a future X-T2 owner and haven’t done so far, then download the Catalogue here.

*** UDPATE *** A trusted source dropped me an email saying that Fujifilm started naming it’s prototypes after constellations. So, Fuji, I’m “Aries”… take that name for the Fuji X-E3 (Read also my LOVE LETTER to the Unborn FUJIFILM X-E3)

Fuji X-T2 – Worth the Upgrade from X-T1? :: VIDEO + POLLS… and a Bit of Love for X-T1 Doesn’t Hurt these Days ;)

Upgrade from Fuji X-T1 to Fuji X-T2

I somehow have the feeling, that Ted Vieira is not the only X-shooter out there at the moment, who struggles with this question: is the Fujifilm X-T2 worth the upgrade from the Fuji X-T1?

Well, actually Ted has no hesitations, since he says he would switch “in a heartbeat“. But he has also a few words of love for the X-T1 at the end (well done Ted… a bit of Love for the X-T1 doesn’t hurt these days).

And what about you? Worth the Upgrade? Here is the Poll

Is it worth to upgrade from the Fuji X-T1 to the Fuji X-T2?

X-T2 or X-Pro2 – VOTE

And another hot questions is: Fuji X-T2 or Fuji X-Pro2? Current Survey at the Fuji X Forum.

A month ago, I’ve launched a “Super-Poll” here, where I asked you which camera do you prefer for the different photography genres. Several thousands of X-shooters have dropped their vote, and it turns out that in most cases X-shooter prefer the X-T2.

However, the X-Pro2 shines in 3 photography styles: Street, Documentary and Travel Photography.

The Poll results show that the two cameras don’t really compete with each other. The X-Pro2 and its rangefinder style with HVF corner placement perfectly harmonizes with the small Fuji primes, making it a ideal package for documentray photography & Co. But if you are looking for the better allrounder, than I’d recommend you to grab the Fuji X-T2.

That said… you know what you mainly shoot, you know your needs. And you have the answer!

And all the Rest

Ok… I did my homework and made one of the hardest Live Bloggings ever. With about 40 links to first looks and videos, I’ve tried to cover the event as good as I could.

But the coverage continues on our forum: Fujifilm X-T2 Reviews Here. Feel free to drop your findings over there and check out what others have spotted.

The Forum now also has a dedicated X-T2 section.

There is also a dedicated Fuji X-T2 facebook Group.
