6 years ago I decided to find out how a camera worked in manual mode because I had no idea, I typed it in KZfaq and one of your videos came up, you explained everything so clear, I watched all your videos and over the space of about 6 months learned how to properly use my camera and to this day still loving photography! Anyway I just wanted to say thanks because if it wasn't for your videos I might not be the photographer I am today. Thanks Gordon. Jake.

Just want to say I'm really happy you're still going to be making these!

I just bought a barely used version of this camera & grip for a very good bargain and been watching videos to learn more about it. This is one of the best videos I've watched so far.

Best X-T2 review I've seen, thank you! Photo samples would be a nice addition to support some points you mention along the way. Keep up the awesome text and video reviews!

It is great to see you two continue to work together. I greatly enjoy your reviews and find your interactions very informative. Thank you and best wishes

This is the best, most comprehensive KZfaq camera review I've ever watched. Well done, guys. You hit every single point I would have mentioned except one: it would be nice if Fuji offered an RGB histogram option. Like the AEB feature, this doesn't seem like a hard thing to add with an update. Thanks for the great vid!

Just got my X-T2. I LOVE IT!!! I have sold a lot of my Nikon gear and will probably sell the rest soon.

Great to see you guys are still working together.

Glad you're back and with Doug.

Thank you for continuing these videos. Your reviews are the best!

Great review Gordon and Doug. The xt2 looks pretty exciting.

You guys are the best camera review team on the KZfaq! Bravo! I was wondering if you re planning to do canon 5d mark iv review any time soon?

Gordon, I totally agree with your in depth comments about the reason a touch screen is needed - video. Two weeks ago, at an Anderson, Rabin & Wakeman concert, I used the touch feature of my iPhone 7p to adjust the exposure to Anderson when he was singing or Rabin when he was soloing, etc, so I clearly see the advantage of getting from point A to point B without accidentally reseting attention (focus, exposure) to areas in between when using a joystick. I can only imagine how well it would work with the XT-2. I don't take many videos with the XT-2 and won't until I become fully proficient with it as a still camera, But I'm sure I will and would appreciate the advantage of a touch screen. Maybe XT-3?

Very happy to see you two continuing to review cameras.

Thanks for doing these videos. I've been watching for a while. You guys work well together. Have to tell you, my X20 has a rear dial that is clickable. Works great for switching between aperture and shutter speed.

That "shimmering" effect you're experiencing on the XT-2 when filming video has been corrected in firmware.

Thank you very much for this highly informative review! I've been debating which first general-purpose lens to get for this camera, between the 23mm f2 and the 35mm f2. I've enjoyed your written review of the 35mm f2 at camera labs, and I was wondering if the same conclusions regarding the corner sharpness, center sharpness, bokeh style and minimum focusing distance could be drawn for the 23. Thank you so much!

Love these. Please keep this going.

I'm very much looking forward to your review of the Oly EM1 Mk2

I really liked the Sony alpha system, soon discovered that I hate going through the over complicated menu. So bought the Fuji X-E2. Dials and knobs are so much better. Now to save up for the X-T2

Thank you for such an extensive review of the new X-t2. I was especially interested in the Image Quality of the new X-t2 compared to the older X-t1. Your website did an excellent jog of comparing the two cameras. Your sample images show that the overall increase in Image Quality may not be that significant unless you blow your photos up quite large. I don't do that, and many of the break-through features on the new X-t2 don't apply to my type of photography. For now, I am not going to pursue the X-t2. Thank you for providing me with the information I needed to make that decision!Taking the time to compare the Image Quality of two cameras (or more!) takes a lot of work and I appreciate that you make that effort, over and over, for us. Best, Bob

The dials have won me over.

Good to see you guys still working together after finishing at Twip.

I don't think a touch screen for pro video shooters is a problem since manually pulling focus is the standard. But for scrolling through and zooming in to check photos would be nice and for navigating threw the menus.

Great show / review guys! Thanks!

Gordon, thanks for the review. But I wanted to say that you probably should edit your video when you talk about the 18-55 lens. That wobble is GONE after you do the firmware update. I own 2 of them and they all did the wobble on video on both my xt2 and xpro2 UNTIL i did the update. So its a disservice to fuji to stay clear of that lens for video.

Love you guys! Thanks!

Could they do what nikon is doing and make a electronic stabilization mode for prime lens and that also helps the algorithms when using a OIS lens as well. That would be amazing, and it is very possible no need for a built in one.

No ibis possibility ????. I will wait for that new model. I have the x-e2s, photo are good. Thank you! after so many other review you where more clear and hones with the good and bat on this camera. thank you ,thank you !

Gordon, you need to update the firmware on the lens to get rid of the shimmering wobble effect :)

Hi Gordon, Excellent review, thank you very much. I got into photography about 1.5 years ago and have watched a lot of your content since. I started with the OMD EM5 ii and all the pro zooms. However, I do notice the noise, limited DR and poor focus on moving objects. I am an environmental scientist and require an 'all round' camera - macro, wildlife, landscapes and people in good light and low light etc. I rarely print so its mostly for online. I understand there is no do it all camera, however i am chasing a camera that is closest to it. Would you suggest that this new Fuji would be good for all round use, or would you recommend moving to a full frame product? A big part of what I shoot is landscape which is my main concern with the Fuji. Thank you again for your work, ill shout you a coffee.

Gordon...Please make sure you are using the latest lens firmware updates before telling people to avoid buying a certain lens. The 18-55mm lens wobble was fixed with a update a while ago. I've had no problems with the 18-55. It's a great and underrated lens and amazing value if you buy it with the camera.

Is it too much to ask for an APS-C sensor mirrorless camera with IBIS, a fully articulating touch screen, and good manual controls? All this technology is tried and tested.

X-T2 review on cameralabs says focus point can't be linked to metering point (which would be useful for bird photography). The X-T2 online owner manual says page 144 that focus point and metering point can be interlocked. Is there someting I misendurstood ?

Excellent review.

On editing photos in camera. I won't do that until they give me HSL, full latitude with the files, graduated filters, radial filter, spot removal, etc. Basically I need lightroom in my camera xD Otherwise I will always be shooting raw and making my own JPEGs. It's not like I can't imitate Fuji, Olympus, Panasonic, Canon, etc presets on lightroom. I *am* however big on getting exposure just right in lightroom, but I do expose for max dynamic range so adjustment will be needed so images arent on the flat side. I've developed these habits because it's allowed me to get the most keepers per shoot. Basically I expose like a video shooter. xD 'm all about latitude.

Excellent video.

I would like to have the body of the X-T2 with a part of the internals of the Sony a6500. I own the Sony a6300 and I like that camera but the body is very fiddly.

Gordon, no one would wonder about the viewfinder while having a look at your photos. That's an argument for trolls and salesmen. I will get a mirrorless but not for that specific reason or for a sensitive touchscreen. ML to me is too much battery sucking to consider (mostly due to evf you praise). Better batteries would be a huge step but also better tracking would be an improvement. But for now, the ML is a cool accessory with poor value for money (i never needed a battery grip with my D610, same for my d80 that holds battery forever). Now, if it's the Fuji comes as a gift I'd gladly accept it for it will help get the weight off of my holidays luggage. cheers Gordon and thanks a lot for the extensive honest coverage including the flaws of the xt2 (-:

Gordon I'm interested in the XT2 for video is the rear LCD screen brighter than the A6300 or A6500. I'm thinking ease of use for video. Plus in video is the AF similar to the A6300.

if you really shoot a lot of video with the x-t2 use a monopod, tripod, slider, gimbal...I had the a7ii, a7r2 and ibis is good but really does not replace a monopod, gimbal....the only ibis which can nearly replace it is the one of the omd em1 mk2 and that camera costs body only 2.000$ for that price you get the x-t2 + booster grip

The story that I heard was that the image circle thrown by the X series lenses is not big enough to allow an IBIS in which the sensor has to move. Or in other words, they made the lenses just to throw an image that covers the sensor, so if the sensor has to move, you'll get areas that are not covered by the lens. If this is true, Fuji X will never have IBIS unless they make the sensors a bit smaller.

Please could you tell me the overall height of the camera with grip fitted. I ask because I cannot find grip dimensions online.

Gordon, the different fuji cameras has different sharpening in camera. The X-T100 I cannot use on auto because then its oversharp and when you pixelpeep it looks nuts. I cannot stand it so I keep it on minus one at least. X-T1 is quite soft and I think X-H1 is even softer. I used to look for the sharpest cameras on DP review and it was DP review that led me to X-T100. Sony a 5100 does not have this issue, it beautiful. And eos M100 too. And if you compare eosM100 with Nikon D5000 you find that Nikon is almost as detailed though its half the mp of M100. Professional photographer's that only shoot raw does not run into this problem. I wonder why noone talks about this.

Great review! 👌🏼

Great review, thanks. I will be fascinated to see the comparisons between the XT2 and the Olympus EM1mii, and how they compete in the market. Fuji may have a larger sensor but in many situations Olly's stunning IBIS will prove more useful, particularly for video users. Fuji lenses might be cheaper than Olympus' Pro range, but their new 12-100mm will be the only lens many people will ever need.

Hi Gordon, I want to go mirror less and currently using Canon system. I like Fuji Xt2 but have been seeing reviews in which Xt2 exhibits greenish hues specially in JPEG. Is there a way around it ? I love Canon colors but want to move to modern systems, thanks.

When I shoot in the "Single" on 55mm I get a red warning !FA when using the 55-200mm lens. What am I doing wrong?

Hi, I recently bought a XT-2 and it overheats after a few minutes of 4k recording. I don’t have a grip. Is that a normal behavior with this camera? Thanks.

I'm torn apart between Fuji xt2 or A7II. I'm shooting majority​ street photography, landscape, some portrait.

Can I get my Nikon DSLR to emulate the Fujifilm JPEG look that Doug K and Gordon describe? Maybe setting my D90 to "Vivid" or similar to try 'n' get the JPEGs right in camera?

Hi Gordon! First, let me say your reviews are incredible! But let me ask you something. I'm into portraiture and leaving my Canon T6 for a new system. Eventually I do landscape and some video, just for fun. I am trying to decide between Fuji X-T2 and Nikon D500. Honestly, I am leaning towards Fuji. But it feels like every time I think I've made my decision and I'm reaching out my arm to get it, I read some opinion like "the D500 low light performance is better" or "Nikon's focus system is amazing" and automatically take a step back. My plan is to pick the body and one or two primes, like 35mm and 50mm. Which one do you think I should get?

Is touch screen a posibility thru firmware updates?

Why would you need more than three frames of bracketing these days? Dynamic range is more than enough these days with even one frame usually, three is fine.

Gordon (flash..?) would you say that XT2 is significant better than em1 mark2 for low light photography of moving people? it's the only concern I have for the olympus..

Which one is better, A7ii or XT2?

Hi Gordon, i make my living with low cost Real Estate Video Walkthrough and we currently use the Lumix G5 that is an old camera. And now in 2017 we want to use a better camera to improve the image quality of our videos and I am undecided between the Panasonic GH5 and the Fujifilm X-T2. Which camera do you think that is better between the new GH5 and the Fuji XT-2 for the type of videos that we do. One important factor to me is that i need to spend the less amount of time possible doing Color Correction, Is true that the video footage from the XT-2 require less time in the computer doing color correction than the GH5 video footage ? Sorry for my english I'm using google translator. Regards,

Thanks gordon,bought it second hand for 799 euro,today

I hope Fuji is working with Godox or yongnuo on reasonable flash with hss.

the x-t2 focuses better than D500 if you use the proper focusing setting bro

Hopefully the X-T3 will have electronic stabilization since they have admitted they are increasing the megs but only by around 4 meg on the sensor. This makes no sense. Who cares about an additional 4meg? I suspect the sensor will be a bit larger in order to do electronic stabilization. It will probably not cover roll like the mechanical stabilizer on the X-H1.

which one between xt2 & 6d ii?

Not a fan of the team up. Gordon please do your usual wonderful reviews solo!

I am interested in getting my first Fuji body should I jump right on the XT2 or should I ease my way into it and buy the XT1. If I go for the XT1 then I can buy more lenses or should I just buy the XT2 and have it take a longer time to have more glass? I would mainly be using it for my on the go camera, and I would like to use it for my daughters softball games. I already own the Canon 7D markii. I just don't know witch one I should purchase.

New X-T2 owner here. I'm having the hardest time tracking my kids with continuous AF. I'm using the 35 f/2 and I've tried so many focus setting combos. I came from Nikon and had no problem tracking in AF-C 3D. I'm starting to wonder if I just got a bad copy. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Something I often wonder about is whether or not spot metering follows focal point location, so that exposure is set for that part of the subject which is in focus, rather than the central part of the frame. I don't think this happens on my A7R II but does it work this way with the X-T2 (or any other camera for that matter)?

could a firmware upgrade provide touchscreen capabilities?

BEWARE new Fuji camera. I got an X100F. I'm a B&W photographer. I've got an X-Pro2 and just traded the F for an X-T2 because the B&W on the F had a brown tint. I figured if I upgraded to an X-T2 I'd be happy since I have 4 primes anyway. Now I have green on the top and magenta on the bottom of straight lines in ACROS. Ask me if I'm PISSED. Be VERY careful if you buy a new one. Fujis are buried with backorders and they are cutting corners calibrating (which is the most time consuming part of the quality check.). What are the chanced of getting two duds back to back? I called what I heard was great customer service. They didn't seen too concerned, that I had to pay for shipping and it would be a month before I got it back. DO NOT BUY A NEW FUJI X-T2 or X100F unless the dealer gives you all the time you need to check it out thoroughly!!

If you use Fuji JPEG most or all of the time like me, you’re waisting your money on type ll cards. A 95m/sec type l will exceed the speed of the camera on JPEG writing to buffer. In fact I’m told type ll may be a bit slower with JPEGs because of the pin-outs.

Does fujifilm make stabilized lenses for this camera?

Gordon needs a microphone, the same that Doug has. :)

It's a shame that the Fuji cameras don't Full Frame is

Subscribed. Liked. Commented. Doing my part. Great video.

Soldxh1 ,do lot of streetwerk Xh1 great but to heavy

Nice review. Great. Camera I'll wait till price drops happy with. X pro 1 at moment

Isn't anyone else bugged by the angle dip on the dial deck? Makes the whole otherwise beautiful and functional design look...well..."dippy." The whole thing looks like a wedge even though it's an optical illusion. Why does a Leica M10 or even Fuji's own X100F look more serious? No dippy non-functional design "flare" thingies with no function. I get that Japanese aesthetics are more organic and all that, but this is a flaw in design. Even height columns on the Parthinon looked great on paper too. I've tried to leave a comment for Jun Sato but there's no way to contact him. Fuji listens, but apparently only to pros on their list. If anyone else agrees with me please try to get through to Fuji design team before the X-Pro3 design is locked in.

1600... ??? holysh.. Sony and Pana are better for this amount of m o n e y

👍

Why is Gordon...cut out the top off the head in this video?

great video as always - still ways to go for Fuji - No Touch - No IBIS - ( 16-55mm F2.8 has no IS ) very slow focus in their faster primes - their 70-200mm F2.8 eqv has so so bokeh, not good enough for wedding work yes nice IQ and nice tracking focus - beautiful looks - nice EVF - I have 2 XT1's and a 1 XT2 and yes enjoy using - but I still enjoy my Panasonic's better to use - with Touch - so many soft Fn buttons etc - but of course smaller sensor

Gordon and Doug, love the review!!! I would like to invite you for two cups of colombian coffee!!! Check your PayPal. Thanks for sharing your great reviews.

Gordon, I listened for about a minute and stopped. Your audio quality is grating to my ears. I can't bear it. Sorry. Goodbye.
