Fujifilm X-T2

The first X-T that professionals took seriously.

FUJIFILM X-T2

Short answer

The X-T2 introduced dual card slots, 4K video and the three-way tilting screen to the X-T line, on a 24.3MP X-Trans III sensor. It has 15 film simulations including ACROS, and no in-body stabilisation.

The X-T1 proved the concept. The X-T2 made it professional: two card slots, weather sealing that people trusted, autofocus that tracked, and the tilting screen design that Fujifilm still uses on the X-T5 today.

X-Trans III colour

The 24.3MP X-Trans III sensor with X-Processor Pro is the generation that introduced ACROS, and a lot of photographers still prefer its colour rendering to later chips.

There is no Classic Negative or ETERNA. What you get is Provia, Velvia, Astia, Classic Chrome, both PRO Neg. options and the full ACROS and Monochrome sets.

How it has aged

Autofocus is a generation behind and struggles with erratic subjects. The screen and viewfinder are visibly lower resolution than anything current. Battery life is 340 frames.

The build has aged extremely well. These bodies were made to be used in weather and many are still working after a decade.

What is good

  • ACROS on a well-regarded 24MP sensor
Dual UHS-II slots and real weather sealing
The original three-way tilting screen
Very cheap now

What is not

  • No IBIS and no Classic Negative
Autofocus is dated for moving subjects
Low-resolution screen and viewfinder

Verdict

A used X-T2 is a lot of camera for very little money if you shoot landscape, street or portraits. For anything that moves, buy an X-T3 instead.
