What should you get. Fuji X-Pro2 or X-T2? - in 4k

[@violin-schwerin]

have the X-Pro 2, absolutely love it

[@DirectRegister]

As someone who shoots for fun with primes, the choice was an easy one. I love the lack of branding on the front of the xpro2, as well as the left-corner eye position. Ultimately though, it just came down to sexiness.

[@MiladJPanah]

you are the only one who mentioned the Firmware Update for the Xpro2, thumbs up

[@GatorheadLuis]

Cool video.... I am fortunate to be able to own both. I enjoy shooting travel/documentary style images and carry the xt2 with battery grip and 16mm 1.4 and xpro 2 with 35mm f2. While the Xt2 is easily the more "powerful" camera... there is something about the xpro2 that makes me want to grab it more often. It's the camera I take with me when I want to go with 1 camera and video is not necessary.... keep up the great work! Love it.

[@sidhammer9461]

I know this was from a long time ago, but I'm torn between getting a second X-T2 as a backup (and for when I need two lenses ready to shoot without swapping) or an X-Pro2. I like to shoot travel/street too (among other things), but also do some festival/live music photography. In those settings I want to replace my X-T1 as the second body with lens that I carry around so I can have either a short and long prime, or a prime and my 55-200 ready to shoot at any given moment. What's it like to go back and forth between the two? I had an original X100, but it was so slow/clunky compared to the new stuff that I'm not sure it was really representative of how using the X-Pro2 would be. A lot of X-Pro2 users seem to admit that they don't really use the OVF after they settle into owning the camera-do you find it useful for street/travel? I'm thinking I'd use the X-T2 with longer lenses and grip and an X-Pro2 with my 16 or 23mm f/1.4 and OVF would be awesome in low light/fast action situations since I could see what's coming into the frame with the OVF and be more engaged/aware of the people around me. I am a left eye shooter, but could still see this as being a potential use. Do you think it's foolish to think I'll get any use out of the OVF? At this point X-T2/X-Pro2 bodies are about the same price used, and I just can't decide which way to go... I'm heading to Guatemala in 2 weeks and then to Costa Rica to shoot Envision Festival, so I'm trying to decide ASAP lol. Thanks in advance if you take the time to respond to such an old comment!

[@cropcircle5693]

I did this exact comparison a few years back and I've never regretted going with the XPro2. I really can't understand most of the supposed advantages on the XT2 and why people seem to care so much. Seriously, if the number of frames in burst mode matter so much, then you aren't buying either of these cameras. It's the kind of stuff non photographers let guide their decision making. It's a classic example of why spec's don't always matter as much as you think. I still love my Xpro2, the XT2 would not have aged as well. It would for sure have been replaced by a 3 and now a 4. Thus a constant upgrade timeline to keep up with. The Xpro2 on the other hand is well understood to be a classic that will be hard to let go of. It actually just keeps getting better with time and the Xpro3 isn't even tempting as an upgrade due to the number of blunders Fuji packed into it.

[@justinbuice]

Nice comparison and I enjoy your calm presentation style.

[@maxmercer1398]

The X Pro 2's ergonomics are amazing if you ask me. Far better than the X-T2. On the XT-2, the joystick is in an awkward position with a button directly above it. Also, the Exposure dial on the XT-2 is raised, as opposed to flush on the X Pro 2, which I find makes pressing the shutter button a slightly bit more awkward as you have to reach around/over it. The grip on the XT-2 has a rubber flap that feels cheap. But that's just me. Either way, your video's helped me lead up to the purchase of both camera's and return the XT-2. Thanks!

[@bhatkrishnakishor]

Correct me if i am wrong, this videos seems to me as 5 reasons to buy X-T2 over X Pro 2.

[@WilliamWallaceRoss]

I have both and enjoy them equally. One I use the X-Pro 2 for urban shoots and the X-T2 for landscapes.

[@michalmaly7794]

The question for me is x-t20 or second hand x-t1. I travel a lot so i could use the enhanced durability. What do you think?

[@sidhammer9461]

You probably won't read this-buuuuut if you do, I'd love to hear your take. I'm torn between getting a second X-T2 or an X-Pro2 as a backup (and for when I need two lenses ready to shoot without swapping). I like to shoot travel/street too (among other things), but also do some festival/live music photography. In those settings I want to replace my X-E2 as my current second body with lens that I carry around so I can have either a short and long prime, or a prime and my 55-200 ready to shoot at any given moment. What's it like to go back and forth between the two? I had an original X100, but it was so slow/clunky compared to the new stuff that I'm not sure it was really representative of how using the X-Pro2 would be. A lot of X-Pro2 users seem to admit that they don't really use the OVF after they settle into owning the camera-do you find it useful for street/travel or event/live music styles of photography? Do you think it's foolish to think I'll get any use out of the OVF? I'm thinking I'd use the X-T2 with longer lenses and grip and an X-Pro2 with my 16 or 23mm f/1.4 and OVF would be awesome in low light/fast action situations since I could see what's coming into the frame with the OVF and be more engaged/aware of the people around me.

[@miataman6988]

I'm fortunate to own both the X-Pro2 and the X-T2, each equipped with the Fuji metal hand grip. I particularly like this grip because it adds little weight to the cameras, it provides an Alpa-Swiss style mounting plate groves for use with tripods equipped with Alpa-Swiss clamps, and lastly, the grips enhance stability when using larger and longer lenses. In fact, I have metal hand grips for my X-100t and my X-E2 bodies as well. When I use my Black Rapid strap equipped with a Really Right Stuff FABN Arca-Swiss clamp, I can rapidly attach and remove my camera strap from any of my Fuji cameras. A perfect system-wide approach to carrying a camera.

[@danni0510]

Hi really hope that you are getting more and more subscribers. Really great Reviews on your channel. This comparison is to the point and awsome. Hope to see a review on the x-t20 would be phenomenal. keep the great work all the best from Vienna

[@amstelmax]

I personally dig the size of the x-pro2, its easy to grab and go and say go hiking with. I would tend to be more careful with my Nikon DSLR's just due to the shape.

[@daniels1924]

Thanks a lot for this video (and all the other Fuji Videos). Grabbed the X-Pro2 and can't be happier :)

[@haroldlauhoyan]

can we have a video about RAF import setting for lightroom?

[@bh9262]

I love your review style. Keeping it moving: Great review, great information, great content, great style! Subscribed, and liked! Thank you

[@quebecer4605]

Nice video. I was always curious about the difference between the two. I love my X-T2.

[@4b4r4]

Awesome video! Have to agree with you on everything, i got the Xpro2 and already took it on a trip. The form factor and button layout worked much better for me since the camera fitted nicely on my thule bag with the 35mm and 16mm lenses plus batteries and charger (cant see myself carrying the grip to the trip). Since i did mostly landscape photography the Xpro2 was incredibly fun to use and switching the finder really helped with composing the image a lot better. TLDR: Xpro2 works wonders for Landscape and street photography!

[@poluks]

Thanks ! Good vid. X-T20 seems to be a good compromise for less money

[@LeeZavitz]

Yeah I wish I had one to review but from my time that I got to try It I think it will make a lot of people happy for the price :) Thanks for watching.

[@paoloa6703]

I was looking at the X-T20 but the no weather sealing and single card slot is a deal breaker :( I was also considering the X-T1 because I'm trading in a Sony A99 and the price I'll get for that covers the X-T1 better as a trade in. But again the single card slot and 16MP feels like I'm getting less in return. Haven't pulled the trigger yet but the X-T2 kinda fills the gap but i have to pay more money.

[@Photomeike]

Great comparison video man. Looks like you over there editing a movie or something like that in Premier Pro lol.

[@LeeZavitz]

Thanks dude. Yeah I'm finishing up a color grade on a music video when I decided to make this video haha. Too many projects going on at once. Thanks for watching :)

[@imagiag]

great video as always, one detail on the EVF - it goes to 100fps in boost mode even without the grip, also the AF speed is bit better in boost mode even without the grip. In my testing you lose about 1/4 of the battery life running in boost mode without the grip.

[@chronocross85]

I bought the X-T2 but I kind of want to trade it for the XPro 2 just on the design alone lol.

[@pantag2]

Dead on. Very accurate. My preference is the X-T2. Not a fan of a viewfinder style camera. FYI...Big Kaizen firmware updates coming shortly for both cameras!

[@RupeeNL]

Great video! Could you also do one between the X-T2 and X-T20? I'm torn between these two!

[@lamp5476]

I just sold my X-Pro2 for the X-T2. I like the button layout and screen on the X-Pro2 better. Focus knob is way more difficult to reach on the X-T2 than on the X-Pro2.

[@LeeZavitz]

Yeah the button layout is nicer on the Xpro2. Its too bad the XT2 isnt exactly the same but its not end of the world.

[@photomorti]

Great channel ! And the 4K looks great

[@Sanemancured]

I’ve got both. And an X-H1 :)

[@artezenfilm7806]

X-t2 for the ISO Dial, X-pro2 for the OVF

[@bayouboy8644]

Great vid my friend , nice job. Very informative

[@RezensionaerDe]

X-T2 vs. X-T20 would be nice :)

[@dyeless]

you don't need a grip to use evf boost refresh rate on xt2. this feature work out of the box.

[@sebcastilho]

Does the X-pro2 have the following functions that were previously added to the X-T2 via firmware? Switching between EVF and rear LCD whilst recording Changing the iso while recording Changing the ISO using the scroll dial

[@JohnDoe-lg2rg]

awesome vid man ! can you please do X-T20 review ? cheers

[@castieldiallo2945]

that miniscule view finder on the x-pro 2 is reason enough to buy the xt-2 instead.

[@davidecollepardi3865]

Well done and very useful review, thanks!

[@NetvoTV]

I want to get the Leica TL2 for photography and videography, from the review I watched T series camera seem give a great experiences in shooting, but does Sony A6500 provide same experiences since it has close physical design?

[@tvurk]

Another interesting question would be X-T1 vs X-T20.. both are around the same price right now.. personally I would get the X-T20; better autofocus, 24MP sensor, 4K video, touchscreen.. but X-T1 has a better EVF, weather sealing, higher build quality

[@LeeZavitz]

Yeah its tough. Going off image quality the xt20 is better. But 16mp is more than enough for most people if they want a good cam to beat around in hiking or something with the xt1

[@hansocal]

Still can't decide which to buy.... Xt2 is def be a better camera but XPRO2 is damn sexy and is enough... hard to choose

[@iamjonasmarlo]

Which one do you bought? I'm on the same decision right now...

[@27hdyx6b3ym3w]

Nice background music you have in this video! May I know the title of this one? I've browsed Soundnook as suggested above, but can't find the exact music that you used here. Thanks! :)

[@LeeZavitz]

Im pretty sure that track was purchased from Audiojungle. I don't always use my own music from SoundNook. Thanks for watching.

[@time4hobby]

Great video. Would you say the evf size difference in favor of the xt2 is really really too noticeable to be a dealbreaker ?

[@LeeZavitz]

It is slightly noticeable but its not a deal breaker for me. Some people would disagree and prefer the much larger viewfinder. Its all preference.

[@time4hobby]

Zed ProMedia thanks for answering! Keep up the good work mate

[@Vortex]

Cool video man. Quick question. I think after watching this video the X-T2 is the camera for me. But what would you choose between the X-T2 and the Sony a7R II?

[@movieman2009]

If I was comparing the Sony A6500 to the Fuji XT2 and Xpro 2 would you have input ?

[@LeeZavitz]

Depends on what you are doing with it. A6500 awesome for video, XT2 awesome for photography with fast AF and ok for video but not as good as Sony, XPro2 amazing street photography not great for video and slower autofocus

[@movieman2009]

Thanks for the quick response. It sounds like Sony is the best of both worlds if I understand correctly ?

[@littlejoeotter]

Simon Bear what camera did you get finally?

[@rafamorroni]

Which is better?

[@akesq01]

Thank you!

[@nitrowad]

I would like to know X-T20 and X-T2 viewfinder size compared to 5D mk2 (which) I own. Is X-T2 same size? Smaller? Larger? How about X-T20? :)

[@tvurk]

EVF magnification on the X-T20 is 0.62x, on the X-T2 it's 0.77x, on the 5D Mark II it's 0.71x.. so X-T2 has the biggest viewfinder, X-T20 smallest and 5D is in between

[@LeeZavitz]

The X-T2 viewfinder is noticeably bigger than the 5dmkii but not massively different. And its quite a bit bigger than the XT20 from what I can remember. I've only used the XT20 for like 5mins haha.

[@nitrowad]

Thanks. I was mainly aiming for X-T20 as a secondary camera, but was worried cause of the viewfinder size. If it's 0.62x and 5D mk2 is 0.71, I guess that X-T20 is roughly close to 7D (which I also own).

[@grrrrr80]

bought both xpro 2 graphite edition and xt2. sold both and went back to my xt1.

[@kaushikiqbal]

but y ?

[@ShaqaliciousTV]

Yes, curious why you did that? I currently have 2 X-T1s, and was thinking of going to the X-T2 (or X-Pro2), but keep holding off.

[@GGori_99]

Hey what about the Samsung NX 1 compare to these 2??? Yes its been 2 years old camera but from the tech specs i think that the NX 1 still keeps up.. I kinda confuse to decide which one to buy..

[@LeeZavitz]

The NX1 is a great camera. The problem is that Samsung dropped all support for the system and there is such a limited amount of lenses its not something I would want to put any money into as it has no future. Your choice though. Its a great video system.

[@saloka9023]

is 1080p video on Xpro2 as good as 1080p video on XT2?

[@LeeZavitz]

From what I can tell yes it looks the same.

[@troja024]

thank you for this video

[@MikeRecords]

xpro2

[@mindatpeace888]

Nice vid dude!! Thanks!!

[@rafaellcovre]

Im a wedding photographer, so the X-T2 is better for me, right? Sorry, but I still dont know which one to buy, haha

[@LeeZavitz]

I would say yes. Go with the XT2

[@muffemod]

X-T2 has essentially the same form factor as the Sony A7 series which has the main advantage of being full frame.

[@Sufibooks]

A True x-T2 fan boy

[@LeeZavitz]

Lou Wilson I've used a lot of cameras. And I am now a fan boy :)

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

sounds like hes a fanboy of Japanese QUALITY and superior design. So is anyone else that knows what is what........ U feel me bro?

[@hetalkstorainbowws]

i'm up there in the comments, thanks!

[@shinotabi]

thx brah... helps a ton

[@aldeen1982]

I made my decision now: X-T2 ;-) thx for help bro

[@Scratchen2]

I got them both :)

[@iamrichlol]

even after this video, im still not sure what the perks of the xpro series is

[@LeeZavitz]

Besides the better screen and button layout its just something you need to experience shooting with and holding it in your hands. Its magic that cant be written down in a spec sheet. I know that sounds lame but its honest truth and I've shot with lots of different cameras.

[@iamrichlol]

haha thanks for the response, I'll have to take your word for it until I one day get to spend some time shooting with one. I own an XT1 and love it, shooting with 3 different primes and the 50-140 zoom.

[@philnwafor9140]

In addition to the aforementioned reasons for the X-Pro body style, the XT seems to be a comfortable transition for those lifetime SLR folks. The Xpro is different and takes a different deliberate approach to photography. Personally, even if I came from the Nikon world, I am at home with the range finder style body. I love that it de-emphasizes video, the screen is perfect as high res fixed, the OVF + ERF is perfect for my style, the grip ergonomics is great (couldn't imagine getting another huge big grip to carry around to get full performance, that is why I left the Nikon FX world). I am in AF-S 98% of the time as I don't shoot sports and I use almost all primes (only zoom i have is the 10-24 which is infrequently used). Yes, there I say the 'L' word here as an inspiration to the Xpro body...photography over video. Deliberate shooting over speed. Picture making over capture. That brand also does not have an articulating screen on purpose. :)

[@seoulboi]

Yeah like Zed said, you just have to try it out. I love my xpro2, I have it on me everyday. It's really indescribable!

[@7thvenom]

@Phil Nwafor......Very Well put Shooting over speed,picture making over capture !!

[@Himlovesrunning]

But then XT20 has a smaller eyepiece..so people with reading Glasses might for XT1/XT2 a better option

[@GreyGhost-r4z]

if you're a soccer mom buy the XE3. If you love amateur photography and leaving the house get the XPro2. If you are single and rich and photograph weddings buy the T2.

[@bhatkrishnakishor]

And if I am amatuer photographer and occasionally like to take wedding photography (read Indian wedding, with people wearing bright color dress in low light esp. night) then which of these two will work for me?

[@p3rrypm]

No way! Skip the X-T20... Enthusiast or not, if you've used an X-T1 for any period of time, you will absolutely hate going back to that tiny viewfinder.

[@photographerjonathan]

they are both nice cameras and so is the XT20. but none of them are for me. xpro 2 has no 4K and a fixed screen thats not touch. the Xt2 has no touch screen and none of them have Ibis. if the Xt20 had a fully articulating screen. 2sd cards was weather sealed and had ibis it would be amazing because i like the size and weight. fuji needs ibis

[@YounanPhoto]

photographerjonathan I said the same till I got my A7ii

[@thuletumi5816]

Of course XT-2

[@glennsmooth]

X-Pro 2 firmware now has 4K video woohoo

[@vpvaiphei]

I do videos and xt2 is the answer. 4k vs 1080p.

[@wazzupbeckham]

XE3 vs XT20

[@vancourverite7779]

i got the xt2 and regretted it. I should hve bought xpro2! more sexier looking

[@bvanquish777]

xpro2 alot more fun to shoot

[@LeeZavitz]

And sexier ;)

[@bvanquish777]

Absolutely. Although I just sold my graphite edition and got the black x100f. I love range finder but Leica just does it better. Picked up the m10 and 50 lux also. If you're ever in LA you can review it for your channel

[@LeeZavitz]

ooo the M10 is a beauty

i will sell my xpro2 when xe3 is out.

[@H1delta]

What's in a name? I think Fujifilm should change their marquee name to just plain "Fuji" and drop the "film" since they make more mirrorless cameras than DSLRs. The other manufacturers are no longer making DSLRs either. "Fujifilm" sounds so hokey.

[@streets28mm]

pro go for XT2, not a pro, have only a couple of lenses then go for xpro 2!

[@xblackcatx1312]

X Pro is ugly as hell.

[@madrnano7964]

xpro2 is better coz xt2 is not true dslr dails of xt2 are plastic

[@tomgee887]

no brainer the X-T2 ITS THE better of the two camerasTom G

[@BlownMacTruck]

Tom Gee really? So when I'm out shooting street and need to see things entering leaving the frame the x-t2 is better?

[@tomgee887]

yes

[@BlownMacTruck]

Tom Gee Really? How does the X-T2 show frame lines?
