Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Fantastic pictures
Fujifilm’s X-Trans sensor enables the X-T2 to take fantastic pictures. Images consistently feature great detail, contrast and colour. The end result are images that have lifelike colors, great contrast and require little to no post processing.
Pro Excellent video quality
The X-T2 is able to capture 4k video at 30 fps and HD video at 60 fps. By capturing footage at a higher resolution then downscaling it to 4k, X-T2 produces very detailed video. Additionally, with its F-log colour mode, the X-T2 is able to capture even more dynamic range. The inclusion of a built in micro HDMI port as well as 3.5 mm audio jack allows for external devices to be connected as well. As such, the X-T2 is ideally set up to produce fantastic content.
Pro Excellent low light performance
The Fujifilm X-T2 features great sensitivity in low light conditions due to its great sensor quality and excellent image processing. This makes it a great investment if shooting locations include clubs, concerts or other dimly lit areas.
Pro Great build quality
The X-T2 is a rugged camera whose body is both dust and moisture resistant. Additionally, it has been rated to work in temperatures as low as -10 degrees Celsius. Photographers that have used this on shoots have testified to its reliability in poor weather conditions.
Pro Software updates
Previous versions of the Fujifilm X series have been improved over time with firmware updates. As such, the X-T2 will continue to be extremely capable in the long term.
Pro Focus peaking in live view
When using manual focus lens, you can turn on focus peaking to see which parts of the picture in in focus, as there will be a colour (by the default settings red) "painted" to tell you that that part of the picture is in focus
Pro Focus Shift stacking
Also know as focus stacking, this camera is able to do focus shift photography on its own after the set up, thus it will not be so tedious in terms of capturing the photo.
Cons
Con No touchscreen
Touchscreens are common features on a variety of similar cameras. While the X-T2 has analog controls these have a tendency to slow down one's workflow.
Con No image stabilization
Optical image stabilization is not built into X-T2 so a lens that comes with image stabilization will have to be purchased separately. Fujifilm's X-Mount lens system has several to choose from.
Con Expensive to get "faster" frame rate
While it ships with a standard frame rate of 7fps, to get to its full functionality of 9fps, you will need the hand grip, as well as the D5 grip battery and charger, which cost a lot more extra.
