I admit that we took our time finishing our review of the Fujifilm X-T2. We bought the camera last September but then multiple other things kept pushing the completion of this full review to a later date.

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, that sits right in the middle of DSLR territory, is more than just a lightly updated successor to the X-T1

When the X-T1 first came out, we were not too sure whether it was the flagship camera or just the DSLR-styled version of the X-Pro1. Now, it is clear that, with the unexpected enthusiast reception that the X-T1 received from the photographer community, Fujifilm now intends to have two flagship...

The Fujifilm XT-2 showcases the perfect marriage of technology and style. Buyers love this camera because of its many superb features. It is a compact model that hardly weighs anything. Users can wear it around their necks or sling it over their shoulders and barely feel it.

Increased buffer memory guarantee a faster response; Reduced shutter-release time lag and enhanced AF precision; Four times faster processing engine than the previous model; Improved response time ensures shorter delays between shots; Various simulation modes for vibrant color tones and rich...

Absence of touch-screen can be a hindrance; Not weather sealed which makes it inappropriate for harsh environments

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 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
