The Fujifilm XT2 is a high-end mirrorless camera that represents a significant upgrade over its best-selling predecessor and raises the bar on what we can expect from the X-series. As expected, it inherits many of the upgrades recently deployed on the X-Pro2 including the latest 24 Megapixel X-Trans...

Superb image quality out-of-camera – best in class; Good quality 4k video with mild crop and good AF; Very competent autofocus and tracking (with fast XF lenses); Large viewfinder and screen that tilts vertically and sideways; Great controls; ergonomics and build quality.

Lack of touchscreen limits ease of pulling focus in movies; No built-in stabilisation (but it may be impossible with X-bodies); AE bracketing limited to three frames; Auto ISO unaware of lens focal length for minimum shutter speed; F-Log only available on HDMI output; not for internal recording,...

Following the release of the X-Pro2 early this year, Fujifilm returns to revamp its X-T mirrorless series with its replacement for the X-T1, the X-T2. While it looks like a significant upgrade over the X-T1, it's because that model is over two years old; the X-T2 incorporates a lot of the newer technologies that are in the X-Pro2.

A new sensor, autofocus system and 4K video support brings the camera up to date. And look for three new lenses over the next 18 months.

The Fujifilm X-T2 comes packaged with an optional XF 18-55mm lens with an aperture of f/2.8-4. While it will cost another $300, it's completely compatible with this camera and will expand the zooming range efficiently.

The Fujifilm X-T2 is a compact system camera featuring a 24 megapixel X-Trans III sensor, high-performance X Processor Pro image processing engine, 2.36m dot resolution OLED electronic viewfinder, three-direction tilting LCD screen, a robust weather-resistant body, 4K video recording, 14fps...

Announced on 7 July, Fujifilm's X-T2 interchangeable-lens mirrorless camera follows in the steps of the X-T1 but brings higher resolution, improved autofocusing and superior movie recording capabilities to a camera with an SLR-like body design.

Ever since Fujifilm announced their first model in the X-series in 2011, the camera system has been evolving at quite a pace. The number of interchangeable lens cameras in the X-series now stands at eight models, and there's a healthy range of 19 premium XF lenses to choose from – a far cry from the...

A dream of a camera which barely puts a foot wrong from start to finish

Gorgeously detailed stills; Blisteringly fast autofocus; Superb handling; Great video skills

Poor battery life; High price

The one real drawback to the Fujifilm X-T2 is its price. It’ll cost you £1400 body-only, and given that you really ought to shell out £300 for the battery grip, given its relative lack of stamina, you won’t get much change from two-and-a-half grand once you add a couple of lenses. But high price or not, it’s worth every penny. What you’re getting here is a camera which approaches high-end DSLRs for speed and rivals pretty much any camera - even full-framers - for image quality, all while sitting inside a gorgeous and diminutive weatherproof shell. Add in its new video abilities and it’s a true all-rounder. Just as importantly, it’s a camera which handles superbly and which never makes you work hard to do anything. If you miss a shot it’ll be all your own doing. Does it take great pictures? It sure does. And is it a great camera? Abso-bloody-lutely. Buy the Fujifilm X-T2 from Amazon
