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?

Upgrade from Fuji X-T1

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.

Yes! Fujifilm X-T2 USB-charging in Camera Possible (so say the Fuji Guys + Riflessifotografici!) *** UPDATE ***

UBS charging: Yes or No? Go to 13.51 and listen by yourself

*** UDPATE***: USB Charging Really works. It’s confirmed in the Riflessifotografici X-T2 review! Please Fuji, update your specs sheet and add this feature!

Ok… I’m done with the coffee… now I passed to beer to cover the rest of the X-T2 launch party :-)

One big question that remained open was: do you really can, as rumored, charge the Fuji X-T2 via USB? Well, Fuji Guys Marc & Dale confirm: YES!

So, the battery in camera can, according to the Fuji Guys, be charged via USB, while the 2 batteries in the grip can be charged via 9 volt Adapter.

I have no idea why Fujifilm didn’t include the USB-charging in their official specs sheet. And I don’t think the Fuji Guys are wrong… I mean, they will have tested the camera since months now, and I suppose that they might have really charged the battery via USB during this time.

See the FIRST IMAGES of the Fujifilm XF 23mmF2, XF 50mmF2 and XF 80mmF2.8 OIS Lenses!

Distortion Corrected Image (thanks exkeks)

X-T2??? Yep!

Yeah, I know… the X-T2 is awesome!

But we should give proper space also the newly annoucned roadmap… and the first image of the 23mmF2, XF50mmF2 and 80mmMacro, which comes with will be compatible with both teleconverters and have OIS (maybe the huge shitstorm on FujiRumors convinced Fuji to implement OIS into it… We Have The Power :-) ) via dc.watch

Ok.. these are official images displayed by Fujifilm Japan at a press event, but that 23mm looks too big. On the official Fuji lens Roadmap (shared in the live blogging here), the XF23mmF2 looks definitely smaller.

I guess somebody is salivating right now ;)
