Fujifilm's X-Pro2 takes the beloved rangefinder-style body that launched the X-mount and makes a raft of significant upgrades. Some may have been gradually deployed on more recent models or with firmware updates, but there's also a lot that's genuinely new here, and it all adds up to a comfortably...

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

In the five years since the introduction of Fujifilm's X-Pro1 , the mirrorless camera space has improved by leaps and bounds. The long-awaited X-Pro2 ($1,699, body only) takes everything that photographers love about its predecessor and improve upon it.

Quick focus and 8.2fps burst shooting; Large buffer; Unique hybrid optical/electronic viewfinder; Focus selection joystick; Film emulation modes; All-weather build; Dual SD slots; Wi-Fi

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

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...

With higher shutter speeds of 1/8,000 or even 1/32,000 using the electronic viewfinder, higher ISO ranges, vastly improved autofocus, and enhanced weather sealing, the X-Pro2 has officially become a serious contender for professional photographers.

XPro-2: Retro, luxurious and innovative, the Fuji X-Pro2 is a class act

This retro designed camera is well made and looks tough. I love the knobs and dials which you can use to manually control exposure and speed. I used for street shooting due to its quietness. I also have the previous version X-Pro1 which has a slower focusing but the X-Pro has improved on this.

Overall I'm pleased with the body. I love the build and that not only the body but also the dials are metal. Images are what you can expect from this version of the xtrans sensor, and after upgrading the firmware AF is snappy, you also get 4k video but really this is not the body to shoot video...

I see a good number of professional photographers at a range of events and while a lot of them have Canon offerings there are also Olympus and Fujicameras. Here I get to try a recent mirrorless compact system camera that is very much in their professional range which really pushes my knowledge – or...
