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

The Fuji X-Pro2 offers excellent image quality across a wide range of ISO speeds, user-friendly and retro-inspired ergonomics, a new high-resolution 24-megapixel sensor and a vastly-improved hybrid autofocus system, among many other new features and improvements.

Weather-sealed, ergonomic camera body; Fast hybrid AF system; Excellent high ISO performance; Improved continuous shooting performance; Better video quality than previous Fuji cameras

Some controls don't impress; Continuous autofocus still lags behind competing DSLR cameras; No 4K video; Fixed LCD without touchpanel

The Fuji X-Pro2 introduces a new 24 MP APS-C X-Trans CMOS III sensor that shows exceptional image-quality. Sharpness, dynamic-range, metering and colors are all very good. Noise levels are extremely low until medium sensitivities where they still remain quite low.

Very low image noise up to ISO 3200; Excellent sharpness; Wide dynamic-range; Superb metering; Great color accuracy; Highly accurate AF; Excellent EVF mode; Plenty of direct controls; Excellent build quality

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

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

It has become almost commonplace in the world of digital cameras for manufacturers to offer upgraded models that don't offer much in the way of significant improvements. Such minor changes don't really give photographers much of an incentive to pay for the new camera.

ISO performance is outstanding versus other mirrorless cameras; Hybrid viewfinder is a great feature and offers good versatility; Many upgrades over the X-Pro1; Good overall image quality in a variety of shooting conditions; Can shoot in both JPEG and RAW image formats; Six different function...

Camera's price is pretty high for a mirrorless model, No built-in flash unit, Battery life could be better, Camera will take some practice to learn to use all of the dials and buttons efficiently; no mode dial is used, EV dial hangs over back edge of camera, meaning you might bump it out of place...

When it comes to ergonomics (ISO selector apart!), compactness, autofocus speed and accuracy, choice of lenses and overall image quality, the Fuji X-Pro2 proved to be outstanding. Just like with the original X-Pro1, I am sure Fuji will continue its Kaizen approach of continuous firmware development...

Just like the Fujifilm X-Pro1, which was introduced in 2012, the new Fujifilm X-Pro2 mirrorless camera is based on an APS-C sensor, but it uses a completely new version of the "X-Trans CMOS" sensor and now offers 24 megapixels instead of 16MP.

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.

When the Fujifilm X-Pro1 burst onto the camera scene its retro digital rangefinder style was like a pleasurable punch to the face; the kind of kipper-slap that left us, and many, a bit tingly around the chops and hungry for more.

Exceptional image quality at 24MP; impressive autofocus for a compact system camera (including continuous AF); exemplary viewfinder setup unlike any other; quality build with manual control dials, new joystick control, dual SD card slots

Exposure compensation lacks lock; no tilt/vari-angle or touch-based LCD; limited battery life; slow to kick-in for eye-level activation / from sleep mode; still a fairly small range of XF lenses, front dial not much use, no 4K video

Takashi Euno the X Series Product Manager from Fujifilm Japan introduced the new Fujifilm X series of cameras including the new Fujifilm X-Pro 2.

24 megapixel X-Trans III sensor; 2.36 million dot EVF; 1.62 million dot 3inch screen; Excellent image quality; Excellent noise performance; Weather sealed body with excellent build quality; New joystick control; Dual SD card slots; Optical / Hybrid / Electronic viewfinder

ISO speed dial may not be to everyone's liking; Battery life not as good as previous model; Exposure comp dial easy to accidentally turn; Some will be disappointed with the large size of the camera; Limited video options
