The X-Pro2 is a 24MP high-end X-mount camera whose appeal is inextricably linked to its innovative optical/electronic hybrid viewfinder. It offers excellent image quality and some of the best out-of-camera JPEGs on the market, and comes in a well built, elegant body with plenty of direct control.

It's been barely five years since FujiFilm plunged into the consumer camera market with the fixed-lens X100, and a mere four years since the company's flagship X-Pro1 hit the market.

A photographer's camera, and the most fully realized camera in Fuji's X series; Phase-detection autofocus system has improved speed and AF-point resolution; New 24-megapixel sensor is on par with many full-frame chips.

The weakest point is battery life; It sucks; Extra batteries are mandatory; The EVF is OK, but not not as vibrant as the XT-1

Fujifilm's X-Pro2 takes the beloved rangefinder-style body that launched the X-mount and makes a raft of significant upgrades.

Superb image quality – best in class for APSC OOC; Innovative hybrid viewfinder; Broad array of embedded PDAF points for good CAF; Weatherproof construction; Dual memory card slots and AF joystick; Built-in Wifi with good smartphone control

Screen doesn't articulate and isn't touch-sensitive; Basic three frame AE bracketing; No 4k video and limited movie control; No USB charging in-camera; EV dial easily turned when removing from bag

Fujifilm's new X-Pro2 is a tough camera to review by any ordinary metric - it's an exotic tool that defies rational purchasing decisions. There are cameras in its price range that will give you better image quality, and there are cheaper cameras - even from Fujifilm - that offer more features.

Incomparable viewfinder; Awesome focus joystick; Excellent image quality and performance

Fiddly ISO dial; Smaller EVF than X-T1; No tilt-screen

With its refined build, all-metal body and classically-styled exterior, there's no doubting the X-Pro2's prestige status. But despite the massive improvements to its resolution, AF performance, and on-board technology, some of its features could be seen as a little behind the curve when compared to...

Below average AF speed in low-light; Color cast with AWB; Lens obstructs OVF; Not Exposure-Priority; Poor ISO dial design; Soft dial detents; Soft aperture detents With all current XF-mount lenses; Video recording delay; Very short battery-life

An excellent and long time coming upgrade to a great camera. The new 24mp Sensor resolves great. Upgraded Optical viewfinder with magnified picture in picture to help with critical focus. They dramatically increased number of focal points.

The X-Pro2 does not brandy its pedigree on the front, yet is instantly recognizable. It would have no trouble being admitted in many venues where DSLRs may not be allowed, yet underneath its magnesium alloy and weather-resistant body lies Fujifilm's most sophisticated mirrrorless to-date.Fujifilm...
