I have just grabbed my X-T2 last month and I loved it!

I love the black-and-white sample photos. You used in this video. Beautiful dynamic range and use of darks and lights. Intensity and contrast without being too crazy intense and contrasty.

Really glad I found this video and your channel. Was so close to going for the XT3, but the huge price difference was a major factor and when you explained the differences, it hardly seems worth the amount for a stills shooter. So I'm picking up and XT2 to replace my XT1 and really looking forward to it. Also really looking forward to watching all your videos, looks some really helpful and great videos. Was really impressed with this video.

Agree with you Liam. I love my XT2 and other than the improvements to the video in the XT3, I wouldn’t upgrade yet. Waiting for the XT4 to see what it offers for stills. Thanks for the video.

Have just bought an XT 2 from a friend for £500. It came with the 35 f2 , 3 batteries, half leather case, leather strap all in mint condition. I have been using Nikon D3 which I love but the weight! Iam age 70 and started photography in 1962 with a Zeiss Ikonta 6x9 folder. I used to photograph weddings in the 1980 s on analogue 6x6 - these days you've got it easy!

I just ordered an X-T2 open box demo from a camera store for $700 with full warranty. Spending the difference from new on the 10-24mm. This to me is winning the gear game.

Good video Liam, And I agree! In fact I had both the XT2 and the XT3 and I ended up selling the XT3 and am still using the XT2 as my main stillscamera

:) I am a professional wedding photographer and... I have 2 X-T2s :) fact! cheers

Plus, the XT2 is made in Japan. Fuji moved their production of the X-T line to China since XT3.

I had the xt2 and absolutely loved it. the used market has these at "point and shoot" camera prices! its a no brainer. Also, if you look hard enough, the used XH1 market is also crazy cheap. I switched my xt2 to the XH1since I love having IBIS with my telephoto vintage manual focus lenses. otherwise, the XT2 all the way! love it!

4 years later and this video is still so relevant lol I purchased a used x-t2 and now I am in the process of selling my Sony a7 II haha

I have an XT2 and XH1. They’re both stellar cameras with the same sensor. The XH1 evf is much improved from the XT2 and the shutter is brilliant but the XT2 body is much smaller and more suited for street photography particularly when used with the fujicron lenses. Still considering getting an X Pro 3 at some point and realise one will have to go. Great video

Your sample photos are fire 👍

As soon as I heard the accent I know the real reason why you opted for the X-T2 ;-) And that's from a _Yorkshireman_ !

I enjoyed watching this, thank you Liam, and hello from your homeland Scotland!

got one from a friend for $400 with a 18-55 and a 35 1.4 please don't call the cops because that was a steal!!

I had been looking at the Fujifilm XT30ii, but when I saw what I could get an XT2 for these days, it seems like a no brainer. I really like most of what I've seen about the XT2.

Just bought two brand new XT2’s for £499 each last month at Wex. Added bonus of 5yr promotional warranty and two year free Fuji Professional servicing with two annual kit checks and cleans. Really cannot beat that IMO.

Went from a nikon d500 to an XT-2 for only $600 plus a used 56mm for 650. The nikon is great, dont get me wrong, but it just wasnt for me. Very bulky and heavy and their mobile app is a pain to use. A lot of people say Fuji's app is also horrible, but it works perfect for my camera. The XT-2's photos straight out of the camera also look a lot better than the Nikon, but thats just me. I love everything about the XT-2, even down to the shutter noise. Physically a pretty camera because it resembles a film camera. The dials are so simple and easy to use, its so much smaller and lightweight, its just great!!

I bought a used Fujifilm XT 2 very pleased with it. The saving over XT 3 you can invest in some decent Fujifilm glass. Digital Cameras in general do no hold their value. Fujifilm glass is a better investment. The quality of their lenses will my experience means they hold their value. At the end of the day the lens is by most crucial part of the camera system. PS if you want a camera that is a secondhand bargain buy a Fujifilm X100s

to be honest, nobody utilizes 90% of the features any camera offers just like the 'newest' iPhone. Even as a professional for over 15 years, I've never used any camera that much different from previous cameras. Cameras are cameras, and in reality if you were to professional sized prints side to side or even on digital devices, majority of us if not all won't be able to tell the difference. Save money and spend money where needed.

I know three things about the XT-2 system. Just as good as a full frame. The fujinon glass is incredible. And I've dropped this tank on concrete twice resulting in no problems.

Nice review and great images!

Just bought a mint X-T2 + 18-55mm + 55-200mm for €525,- Only the 55-200mm in little damaged on the exterior. Am I the luckiest guy alive or what?

I’ve seen xt2’s going for around $600 used.

Just bought an XT2 for 350€, super excited to finally switch to mirrorless :)

Times got tough and I had to sell my XPro2 to pay some bills. Saved to get another camera. Found an X-T2 $500 at half the price of a used XPro2 $1000. Although I love the rangefinder style, the IQ being the same is ok with me. Cheers!

Which lens was used in the picture at 4:25? It’s beautiful.

I'm currently on the XT2 and love it! Found a used XT3 for a really good deal and I'm still not sure if I should get the XT3! Help!

I bought an XT 2 recently. As a still photographer, I saw no advantage over an XT 3. I had an XT 20 but macular damage required a larger viewfinder, am loving my XT 2 with 16-80 and I don't mind the focus bracketing function either. Great IS and a steady hand allows me to focus bracket handheld. Can see no reason to upgrade anytime soon.

Very beautiful pictures. I think you could do great with a medium format bw. Are you still using the T2 or you upgraded your camera gear. Thanks for your work.

Brand new X-T2 at 700 Euro on amazon.de a few weeks ago

Chucked in my Canon gear a while back (not pro use) but with the price I got for the swap managed to get an XT-2 & a XPRO2 plus a bit of change for a Fuji lens (new). Never regretted the decision. Weight wise and fun to use - could've gone for the XT-3 but do not video so mirror your thoughts.

xt2 is STILL good in 2024

I am right handed but I favor my left eye for viewing. It can be a real problem, especially when my nose touches the touch screen, so I have to turn it off. I don't find it to be that much of a advantage anyway.

Sounds like the value saved items like eye auto focus and screen resolution are more video items. It might be that your use is low on video so you're saying, to me, that at you can get an X-T3 for half off if you're focus is on photos.

I tested an XT3 when they were very new and while the focus was a bit "snappier", I wasn't impressed enough to get one. DPReview actually rated the XT2 a bit better in low light/high ISO than the XT3. I find the XT2 autofocus to be plenty fast. For these reasons I bought a 2nd XT2 NEW for $799 before they disappeared. I could have maybe saved $100-200 buying used, but for that small difference and the shutter wear with no guarantee, I bought new. I also have an Xpro2, so at least all the colors from these are the same.

Really great video. I been having a fuji x100f for 6 months now. Despite the size , it's a powerful camera. You Learn to zoom in and out with your feet. But I think Im ready for an interchangeable lens camera. And I'm looking for a xt2 I don't think I the technology of the xt3, maybe the xt4. But I'm in a budget and if the xt2 was and still is a great cameras for other photographers then it can be a great camera for me. Thanks!

Unfortunately Fuji does not propose EVF or LCD upgrades. I do own both cameras.

Only the xh2 make me think to upgrade

Hi Liam, thx for your video. Very good points indeed. I have an X100T that brought me back the joy of shooting 5yrs ago. Recently got myself a Nikon FE film camera, what a joy! But film is quite expensive and I rather have my pictures taken with a digital for convenience. I am just a hobby photographer. Funny enough using the Nikon SLR let me appreciate the SLR body style, up until now I really enjoyed the rangefinder. I would like to use MF and vintage lenses on my digital going fwd to give it a ‚film shooting’ style, so I was thinking to get cheap used Fuji. My heart was set on a Xpro1 but after using the Nikon I took a XT1 into consideration too. The EVF is said to be miles better then on the Xpro1 which would be really good for MF with focuss peaking etc. price wise they both around 250/300 around here. I am really torn, I think the Xpro1 is a sexy looking, cool camera to have fun with when you don‘t need performance. Which is fine with me. The XT1 would be the better alround camera maybe even better suited for MF with old glass and would make a good combo with my X100T being differnt altogether...as well as being an SLR style and you can shoot with both eyes...as I find my left eye might be better these days...a bit harder to switch eyes on a rangefinder..well just not so practical really, but who cares really 😜 What are your thoughts? Would love to hear your experience. Cheers from switzerland!

Still using my XT1 but will upgrade to XT2 in the summer as used prices for XT2 are around £500.

Which camera would be better for music videos. I am going for the XT-2 as of now but cannot figure out between f1.4 or f/2 lense for music videos I want to film and occasional pictures.

Nice pics

Fantastic photos. Edited RAW or jpeg direct from camera?

I just picked up the X-T2 from John Lewis ( Body only ) for £274.50

Hi Liam. Thanks for this comparison. I'm a bit on the fence here. I'm contemplating on getting a 2nd body to use with my XT3. But I got curious about previous XTrans sensors (2 & 3). So, my options are XT1 ($430-$470, mint/pristine), an XT2 (Graphite $715 pristine), a brand new sealed X-T2+18-55 w/1 yr warranty ($830), and lastly the X100v (US$1399). I'm still unsure which would be the best option. I don't shoot professionally but as a hobbyist (family, food, street, travel). Your thoughts? Thank you.

Hey man, i love your scottish accent and the video. I do photography for many years, but i am in sort of an impass now, what would you choose between XT2 and a D750? I really love the ease of use of the XT2 with controls on the body like my film SLRs, and the portability, but a part of me wants to get into the big boy league and go full frame. While i know gear isn't important, i do want alot of quality for my photographs (i am only doing it as a hobby of which i am very passionate about). Another thing i am worried about is that my MF lenses (mostly M42), won't work that well with the D750, and i really love them. Cheers!

cool stuff man. hows does the battery hold up, as far as lasting?

You live in Philly? I saw several iconic philly locations and city hall on your wall. I just bought a used xt-2 literally today. I’m in Philly too if I could pick your brain.

Thank you Liam, too few videos that are talking about value for money ! I’m about to do the same as i have an offer for the xt2 + 18-55mm at 700€... i think its a very good deal

Hi, what do you think is better: x-t2 or x-t30? and why choose it? thank you

Love your pictures! I’m thinking on buying the xt2 but they are selling it with two lenses: 7artisans Photoelectric 25mm f/1.8 and fujinon xf 18-55mm f2 8-4, plus two batteries and charger. It would be my first camera so I’m not sure if those are good lenses I’ve seen different videos but I’m still not sure. Also I don’t know if the price is reasonable... 🤔

An X-T20 would have been even smaller with same IQ

The other reason to buy a new XT2 at the moment, is that the price has dropped new to £599. And that’s amazing

X-T2 was the last version made in Japan.

Some goods informations, thanks :-)

Would the XT-2 be a significant upgrade coming from an A6000

Need to add that the XT-2 was made in Japan and the XT-3 in China.

this is good for travel since I like to travel with my family. But can I use it for wedding photography ? my friend request me to do it for her sister's wedding recently so I'm not really sure if it's suitable. I don't want to buy new camera just to shoot for one wedding. I'm looking foward for your reply🙏

Snagged a pristine XT-2 for 550

What camera did you vlog with?

If anyone can point me in the direction of a XT2 I’d much appreciate it. They seem to be sold out everywhere i look

I thought XT2 low light performance was better than the CT3

I already have XT20 so if I go for working do I just need to buy XT2 or upgrade to XT3 ?

Considering get one but it’s said fujifilm cameras have full plastic body, true? Easy get scratches or lose the paint color?

Might as well just get a used Xt1, surely it will satisfy all your needs just like the xt2.

Shallow depth of field stuff is so cliche and cheap if overused. I think full frame is becoming like medium format years ago.

To me the xt2 is better in low light more noise on xt3 Scroll dial to tight on xt3 Neither do so well I video afc But yes xt3 a tad better Both do not do well in eye af Agree on EVF Xt2 is good enough. I set lcd EVF with B&H so similar Video ok. The afc on xt3 not that good for eye af so If was into video would get Canon R6 or R5 Love my xt1. Xt2s and xt3 Just beautiful cameras But mostly use my Sony A7r3. With the light f1.8 samyang lenses and 2 Tamron zoom lenses and get the full frame goodness and weight is not much more than with my Fuji’s

Wich Camera XT2 vs XT30 ¿

Whats that lens plz

I have just bought X-T2 last week. 😊

New X-h1 now cost the same as USED X-t2

i'm just going with x-e3 new instead.

There's virtually no size difference between Sony and Fujifilm cameras, even Sony's FF A7 series are not any bigger than XT or x pro, even M4/3 aren't all that small... sure cameras like Pentax k1, 645, nikon D4 etc are big and heavy cameras but nowadays all mirrorless are very similar in size.

Great comparison man! Now put another shrimp on the "Bobby".

I use mobile phone for wedding photography..cheers😂

I got mine for $670

Prefer xt1 and xpro2, my cameras 😂

Was £274 in John Lewis yesterday or £424 with 18-55mm, bargain.!!!

Simple answer…. Its cheaper!

You forgot Important Point.... X-T2 made in Japan X-T3 assembled/made in China

XT 2 Made in Japan....... XT 3 Made in CHINA 😶
