Fujifilm's X-Pro2, like its predecessor, occupies a unique position in the market. It's one of the few interchangeable-lens digital rangefinders available with the major competition coming from the Leica M.

  Superb image quality – best in class for APSC OOC., Innovative hybrid viewfinder., Broad array of embedded PDAF points for good CAF., Weatherproof construction., Dual memory card slots and AF joystick., Built-in Wifi with good smartphone control.

  Screen doesn’t articulate and isn’t touch-sensitive., Basic three frame AE bracketing., No 4k video and limited movie control., No USB charging in-camera., EV dial easily turned when removing from bag.

The Fujifilm X-Pro2 puts an optical viewfinder in a slim mirrorless design, making it one of the most fun—and capable—cameras on the market.

• +

  Quick focus and 8.2fps burst shooting. Large buffer. Unique hybrid optical/electronic viewfinder. Focus selection joystick. Film emulation modes. All-weather build. Dual SD slots. Wi-Fi.

• -

  Optical viewfinder not well-suited for telephoto lenses. Fixed LCD doesn't support touch input. Video limited to 1080p. Omits built-in flash. Expensive.

The X-Pro2 is not a perfect camera. There really is no perfect camera. But the X-Pro2 does come damn close to perfection. It’s not well suited to sports photography, but for portraits, street photography, and any other application calling for a small, unassuming camera, it excels.

• +

  A photographer's camera, and the most fully realized camera in Fuji's X series. Phase-detection autofocus system has improved speed and AF-point resolution. New 24-megapixel sensor is on par with many full-frame chips.

• -

  The weakest point is battery life. It sucks. Extra batteries are mandatory. The EVF is OK, but not not as vibrant as the XT-1.

The Fujifilm X-Pro2 has a look that will remind you of many other mirrorless Fujifilm cameras, as they offer a retro style with plenty of dials and buttons to control the camera's primary settings.

  ISO performance is outstanding versus other mirrorless cameras, Hybrid viewfinder is a great feature and offers good versatility, Many upgrades over the X-Pro1, Good overall image quality in a variety of shooting conditions, Can shoot in both JPEG and RAW image formats, Six different function...

  Camera's price is pretty high for a mirrorless model, No built-in flash unit, Battery life could be better, Camera will take some practice to learn to use all of the dials and buttons efficiently; no mode dial is used, EV dial hangs over back edge of camera, meaning you might bump it out of place...

The Fuji X-Pro2 offers excellent image quality across a wide range of ISO speeds, user-friendly and retro-inspired ergonomics, a new high-resolution 24-megapixel sensor and a vastly-improved hybrid autofocus system, among many other new features and improvements.

The X-Pro2 is a 24MP high-end X-mount camera whose appeal is inextricably linked to its innovative optical/electronic hybrid viewfinder. It offers excellent image quality and some of the best out-of-camera JPEGs on the market, and comes in a well built, elegant body with plenty of direct control.

Just like the Fujifilm X-Pro1, which was introduced in 2012, the new Fujifilm X-Pro2 mirrorless camera is based on an APS-C sensor, but it uses a completely new version of the “X-Trans CMOS” sensor and now offers 24 megapixels instead of 16MP.

The Fuji X-Pro2 introduces a new 24 MP APS-C X-Trans CMOS III sensor that shows exceptional image-quality. Sharpness, dynamic-range, metering and colors are all very good. Noise levels are extremely low until medium sensitivities where they still remain quite low.

It’s been four long years since the original X-Pro1 was introduced, triggering a tsunami of rangefinder influence in the world of digital photography that’s eroded the core of the prosumer DSLR market ever since.

I've used Nikon SLRs and DSLRs for years and their controls fit like a glove. I had Sony A7 and it was easy to use and produced great image quality. Menus and controls on the Nikon were familiar and natural. Sony controls were okay but the menus were poorly organized and confusing.

Firstly, I like Fuji x images (especially film simulations) and have been in the system since the x-e1, I am the quintessential Fuji fanboy and have literally owned every X series lense they produced except the 14mm... Also own(ed) the xpro1, xe1, xe2, xt1, xs1 and x100..

If you have any doubts about this camera, don't !!! I can name many pro's but I will mention just three Awesome JPE's strait from camera, very good auto focus ( face detection is just awesome ), hybrid view finder is just to good.

The X-pro2 is a great camera with tons of settings, but if you just want to shot, just frame and push the button. Delivers great images in JPG with film simulations.

The xPro 2 is my new go-to camera for editorial and street photography. Build quality is excellent and the thumb control to move the focus point is much appreciated. Very responsive focusing & shutter release.

I am retired professional photographer. This is my second Fuji body purchase and I love them both. I wanted a smaller body but still with professional capabilities. The X Pro 2 delivers. The handling, feel, and build quality of the X Pro 2 is top notch. I love the optical viewfinder.

I think this may be the best camera I have ever used! I absolutely love this camera! I have always been a RAW shooter. The JPEGS that this camera produces has me thinking twice about that. I still shoot with a RAW backup but as long as I nail exposure in camera I use the JPEGS.

Have not had a rangefinder type camera since my Leica M6 so I read the reviews about this camera for a long time and finally made the purchase. Don't regret it a bit. Quality camera and lens (23mm F2.0 Kit). Images are very nice.

What a beautiful camera! This is modern technology at it's best.The build quality is a thing to behold and the performance is simply wonderful.My hats off to Fuji. I wound up selling much of my Nikon FF (D600) and DX (D7100) gear to move to Fujifilm mirrorless equipment.

This is a late review for this camera I purchased in early 2016, but here goes.Bottom line, love this camera.I had the original X-Pro1, but, it had many faults or quirks.. to be expected, it was the first of what would become many other X cameras from Fuji's.
