So, how much will the Fujifilm X-T2 cost?
Of course the price will change depending on the country you live. But let me say it in a way, that should fit for every country in the world: the Fujifilm X-T2 will cost less than the Fujifilm X-Pro2 ($1699 in USA – £1,349 in UK – €1799 in most EU countries) but more than the X-T1 at its launch ($1299 in USA – £1049 in UK – €1299 in most EU countries).
So the X-T2 should cost:
USA: between $1400 and $1600
EU: between €1400 and €1700
UK: between £1100 and £1300
The final price? Well, I think we have learned a lesson last time with the Fujifilm X70, where Fujifilm changed opinion about the price several times before the launch (there was a last minute change before the announcement), and then even changed the price during (!!!) the X70 pre-order period!
So, better be careful, when it comes to the price.
Anyway, the X-T2 offers so much more compared to the X-T1 (and in certain aspects also compared to the X-Pro2), that a price tag below the X-Pro2 is already a good news for me.

Hm.. let me see… 420 articles shared only in 2016. And 121 of these 420 were rumors. And reading the comments and emails, I have the feeling that some got quite confused in the huge News/Rumors stream on FR. So here are two things I should do
To be announced July 7
What will NOT come July 7
That’s more or less it. Of course I’m FujiRumors, not Fujifacts, so it might be possible that there will be surprises. Or that I’m not 100% accurate with something. We will see soon.
All I know is that I did my best and squeezed all the energies out of me (and more). But it was (and still is) one of the most exciting times I’ve ever had on FujiRumors! :-)
stay tuned,
Fuji X Forum, Facebook, RSS-feed and Twitter
In case you didn’t had enough, our Japanese buddy digicame-info (X-T2 leak – flash leak + grip leaks) continues to leak images about the X-T2. Morever, he also shared images of the EF-X500 flash and the new Vertical Grip VPB-XT2.
If you follow FR-regualry, you’ll already have seen images of the vertical grip on May 3. The images show that it takes 2 batteries. To see more images about how the new screen tilt, check out this post of early June.
Regarding the flash, I’ve shared yesterday it will come also July 7, just like the X-T2.

Guest Post by Frank Stein (Website / Instagram), the X-shooter, who won the BHphoto/FujiRumors X-Pro2 Sweepstake back in Januay. He was a few months in Africa, and I could just reach him out just recently. Asked for a guest post, he accepted… and I’m glad to share it.
I never win anything. I do not count multiple wins of detention in junior high school – but that was 50 years ago. So, needless to say, I was surprised to be the winner of the Fuji Rumors/B&H Photo “Win a X-Pro2” contest.
As a recently minted Fuji shooter, having just purchased my first Fuji, an X-Pro1, a bit over a year ago, I am a relative newbie; To the brand that is, not to photography. For some background, my first “real” camera was an [shoplink 47086 ebay]Argus C3[/shoplink]. I then moved to a [shoplink 47087 ebay]Kowa SLR[/shoplink] in the mid-60’s (Sorry, B&H but that was from Olden Camera as you were not yet even a gleam in the retail eye.) I then moved to Nikon later in the decade. Digital for me arrived in the form of a [shoplink 47088 ebay]Nikon Coolpix 950[/shoplink]. It was then onto a Canon 10D and after some intermediate steps, the most recent 5D.
I have to thank Patrick and his Fuji Rumors site for piquing my interest in the brand. All his readers and their comments as well as their photo posts convinced me that Fuji was the way to go for a great street camera.
Besides the hardware you cannot help but be impressed with Fuji’s commitment to software upgrades even for their legacy cameras. All too often companies abandon their older products once they release a replacement. For this Fuji needs to be commended.
It also helped that my son had an X100T whose lens, sensor and design I admired. I, however, wanted a bit more flexibility so I took the plunge for the original X Pro. I added a Fuji 23 1.4 and a 56 1.2. For the most part I am now wedded to the Zeiss Touit 12mm 2.8 as my street walk around lens.
And, yes, I had all the concerns about the gen 1 X Pro which seem like a distant memory now that I have the X Pro2. The iffy focusing is a thing of the past. Now I have many more lackluster photos that are in focus and properly exposed. (Lackluster as it is talent I still lack. No camera cures that. Yet.)
Anyway thank you Fuji Rumors and, of course, B&H. For those of you who do not live in the NYC area their excellent mail order service pales in comparison to the service and experience you get by visiting their store. It is no accident that have survived and prospered over the years while most of their competitors from New York’s camera alley downtown and Broadway are long gone. Besides their incomparable selection, their knowledgeable and helpful floor staff is all but a guarantee that you will walk out of the store with the equipment you need even if it was not what you thought you wanted when you walked in. (N.B. I already have my prize so I say this about them without ulterior motive.)
I am also posting some of the photos of “lookers” from a walk around NYC shortly after the camera arrived. I stuck in the first one from the X Pro1 for those who want to test the Fuji waters with a camera that is available and at a down to earth price. It is still a great camera.
