Given that the X-Pro1 debuted in 2012, one might be forgiven for thinking that Fujifilm had abandoned that track in favor of the more recent X-T1, the model which has held the flagship position in the company's pro/enthusiast interchangeable-lens line since it became available in February 2014.

After languishing for close to four years in a rapidly changing market, the company brings its once-flagship line up to date.

In looks and handling the X-Pro2 combines familiar functionality with improvements to handling that combine with the camera's increased sensor resolution to present strong arguments for updating from earlier X-series models.

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

If you will check your own adds, you will see that the fujifilm Xpro2 is only available for pre-order. I do have it on pre- order, but do not have any idea when I might get it. However my experience with fujifilm cameras and lenses has been most positive, I can't wait for the Xpro to be available.

It's been four long years since the original X-Pro1 was introduced, triggering a tsunami of rangefinder influence in the world of digital photography that's eroded the core of the prosumer DSLR market ever since.

Few mirrorless cameras develop as strong a fanbase as Fuji's X-Pro1, and even fewer manage to appeal to as wide a demographic as it eventually did. With its classic styling and manual controls, it immediately attracted seasoned photographers who may have started out with similarly styled...

Despite these drawbacks, the X-Pro2's image quality, build quality and control setup impressed me so much that I'd recommend it to anybody seeking a camera for street photography.

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
