    I have the X-T4, X-T3, X-T2 and as a professional cinematographer, I prefer the X-T2. It has to do mostly with its sensor. It's the best Fujifilm sensor for cinematography. Plus that it's built in Japan and feels like a precision instrument makes it my choice for cine work. Newer is not always better and in my case it's 100% true.

      @@luisedwardmc7606 Three different functions ... for Astro photography I recommend the NEW Viltrox 13mm f/1.4 with Auto Focus. That 13mm Viltrox lens will also be a nice option for landscape. As for a zoom lens, the most underrated lens and most versatile lens is the Fujifilm 18-135mm R OIS LM WR. The fact that it is weather sealed and has optical image stabilization is a great match for the X-T2 which is weather sealed and has no IBIS. In addition if you want to get even further reach, I would add a Fujifilm 2x adapter to the 18-135mm lens which will convert it to a 36-270mm lens with OIS. Great for bird watching without breaking the bank.

    I have info overload lol. Getting back into more serious photograpy. I left the scene in 2009, selling my Minolta Maxxum 70 SLR. I went low grade digital for a while. Disabilty has been a challenge for me last few years and need a release Ican do and desstress. It started with getting my Samsung S21 ultra phone with 5 lenses. It takes amazing photos and now I want a better camera so I can have more freedom with manual settings.
    I have gone from Canon to loving these Fuji images, so I'm stuck on Fuji. That makes it easier, so I've gone form deciding on Xt30, xt20, to XT3, to feeling the XT2 is the best compromise out of all of them. Your video helped me solidy my decision even though the XT3 is on sale for 1399$. Ican get the XT2 used for 600, 2 lenses, a case, memory card and probably still be under. Appreciate the video and nice shots! Oh i plan to do landscape, wildlife, portraits, and also wanted video capabilty. I am also going to start a VLOG on living and helping cope with EDS, PSA, and ASD (Ehlers Danlos syndrome, Psooriaitc arthritis, autism spectrum disorder) and being diagnosed late as a 42 yr old lol!

      @muatao9943 3 года назад +6

      @@olawalesanni2872 Oh wow, good question! The XT1's second generation sensor is very unique. I think the term "film like" is somewhat applicable. As much as I enjoy the I.Q. from the XT1, there are some ergonomic and functional limitations that drove me to purchase the XT2 on sale at the end of 2019. The ISO and shutter speed dials on the XT2 are much easier to unlock and turn. Also the joystick on the XT2 makes it much more convenient to move the focus point. The better viewfinder, higher shutter speeds, and the dual card slot are nice but I could have lived without them. The XT2 is the sweet spot for me because the sensor, although maybe not quite as "organic" as the XT1 still offers that Fuji magic. Combined with the more hassle free shooting experience, it ends up being the camera body I'm more likely to grab especially if I'm gonna do some street stuff. I tend to shoot with manual lenses on the XT1 these days since I'm already anticipating a slower shooting experience. I use the 35mm f2 a lot on the XT2 for food photography and the 23mm f2 for street. One thing I really enjoy is when you get the right distance from the subject and create that 3D pop. If you're interested, I post my Fuji jpegs @sub_bourbon_chef. Cheers!

    Starting out shooting film on an old AE 1 as a teen in the late 70s, I really like the retro look of the XT2 and the old dials on the top. It reminds me of my youth. The retro look and its size is what first attracted me to the camera. The image quality is superb - The XT2 will produce a tack-sharp print twenty inches in width with plenty of detail in the highlights and shadows. I was thinking of jumping up to their medium format GFX 50 or even the 100 as I sell a lot of oversized prints at various art fairs but I found even pushing the X T2 image up to 30 inches in width when shooting RAW, I was getting fine image quality - well worth the money and the build quality is superior to most cameras on the market today.

  • @nanoulandia
    @nanoulandia 2 года назад +7

    The X-T2 is a great camera. It was my first Fuji and I chose it (and love it) because of its analog feel, so for anyone who used to shoot film, this camera feels ergonomically perfect. I have since added an X-H1 and a GFX 50R. Having a hard time deciding whether to let go of the X-T2 or the X-H1; not sure it makes sense keeping both. The only thing I found annoying on the X-T2 (and this is just size related) is that when I add a flash unit to it, I end up turning the camera off constantly. The X-H1 is better in this sense and it's a very robust and also an exceptional camera (also made in Japan).

    Nicely done. A friend recently gave me his XT2... I wasn't sure I was going to keep it because I have an XH1, XT1 and Xpro1 that I use for work already. But I have to say I like the feel in the hand of the XT2 and I like that it's a smaller option for me to take to work and I still feel like I have all the AF and image quality capability of my XH1 which is my main camera for work (I am a video/stills shooter for a newspaper in central Pennsylvania).
    The XT2 was a shocker for me. Yes I know the camera has essentially the same chip as my XH1 that I love but just the fact that the XT2 is slightly smaller in my (small) hands means it gives me a break from carrying the XH1 and changes up how I feel about shooting because it keeps it fresh (somehow... not really sure how) to take a different camera each day to work.
    Overall I'm completely in agreement that the XT2 is probably the best "just buy it" camera for the Fuji system out there now.

      That’s my question: XH-1 or XT-2? I like the smaller size of the XT-2 but prefer the grip and top LCD of the XH-1. IBIS seems like a bonus for shooting with those great Fujinon primes. Tough call.

    Indeed a great rig. This camera was one of the cameras that turned me from a Canon user (after close to 40 years), along with the XE-2s in 2016. Sadly my ‘2’ was stolen whilst on assignment late last year, fortunately, I had an X-T3 as my main rig, but still, I sorely miss this camera. As you mentioned the ‘2’ was the last of the X-T line that was made and assembled in Japan, I sincerely hope Fuji brings the X-T production line back to Japan with the release of an X-T6. Love all 4 of my Fujis, but the ‘2’ will have a special place in my heart.

There is something about the colour science as you say I have watched videos of people comparing the sensor from the X-T2 with the three and 4. I cannot see any difference myself but some swear the 2 is a more pleasing sensor. I also own the X-H1 and whilst this has IBIS I tend to reach for the 2 more than the X-H1.

    Couldn’t agree more. My Fuji journey started with x100. Hated it but saw the potential, X100s nailed it. Bought the Xpro1 used and although not smitten with it, it had many pluses over my Nikon DSLR’s. But when the the Xpro2 came out, it had everything and more than I needed, having paired it with the Xpro2 I was done with camera bodies. Upgrades for me were better glass and Im done now with that too. So why upgrade and spend more money, nothing is perfect? I dont see why a XT3 or 4 is worth it when I have the cats ass now. Anyway I just discovered your channel. I liked and subscribed. All best from Western Canada 🇨🇦

  • @deltatango2581

    I have the Xpro2 and loved it, but I have been looking at this one as a secondary body. Love that the lenses are interchangeable with both cameras, whereas some camera companies would have you buy the body for their cameras, but the lenses for two different bodies most likely are not compatible

    • @TK421-53
      @TK421-53 10 месяцев назад

      That’s what I did run the XPro 2 and X-T2 side by side.
      The Pro2 is sexy and as a rangefinder style camera it is different in usage, but the T-2 is the more functional camera, including superior electronic viewfinder and controls. For stills these two cameras as far from obsolete, for action photography, well Fujifilm isn’t exactly fast to begin with and the older bodies feel more dated.

    Having grown up with, and still using film cameras, then digital - via Nikon Coolpix, Sony 600, Olympus OMD5 then Pen-F to Fuji EX1 and 2 (only the viewfinders put me off those), Leica Monochrom then, for longer, Sony A7ii, 7Rii and 7Riii and Canon 5DSr - money and the frustration of spending way too many hours at the computer to try to make files look the way I wanted I ditched almost everything and just bought an ex demo/as new XT2.
    Don’t miss the others at all. The JPEG’s look like the film images I love and the resolution is more than up to my A3+ Canon printer. In fa t, curiosity and GAS aside I don’t think I will ever leave Fuji now. Perhaps if I can ever afford one, a medium format version, probably not, but for now this until a new XT with a higher resolution finder and IBIS comes along. Fantastic cameras.

      I am looking at the 23mm and the 90mm F2 lense. If you search a video on the comparisons you can see which shot grab your attention, and go with that lense. I think the 3rd is the 35mm. Iam leaning towars the 23mm because you can always crop to the 35 and Ilike the blurs and softness of the 23mm.

Anyway, fast forward to October 2023 and the Z7II and all my Z lenses have now gone and I've gone back to Fuji, specifically the X-T2. I managed to find one as new with only 400 actuations on it for £400. I just lost all interest for some reason with the Nikon, but I'm loving the Fuji ecosystem again for my seascape & landscape shots. I never print supe big so its all i need.

    This is a really great video. I used to be into photography with nice gear, but as times got tough I had to sell everything. Now in my later years I thought about getting a good camera, but I can't afford a $2k camera kit. I came across the X-T2 and read about the newer 3 and 4. Your video inspires me to keep an eye out for a T2. BTW the stills in your video are amazing - what lens do you use as your go to? I've liked looking at the sharpness of the xf 50-140mm but it's a bit pricey.

    Oh yeah. It's a wonderful creature. I tend to put my vintage lenses on an X-H1 that I got with a battery grip locally, cherry shape for 700. That camera is big fun with the Minolta Celtic 135mm 2.8, (unbelievably sharp lens, and it goes for around 40 bucks on ebay ) and other beasts like the Tair 11A 135mm 2.8 bokeh monster, and some Rollei and Pentax 50mm's. But the T-2 with even the 16-50mm 3.5 OIS just says yes. I have all the sexy primes, but like to give a nod toward the little guys too. The 16mm 1.4 or the 23mm 2.0 of the T-2 is exciting gear to play with. Nothing wrong with the big glass from Viltrox either. Too bad I'm feeling a bit chary about going out in San Francisco now with good gear. Ain't that a bitch? Maybe I'll take the X-M1 out to test the waters....

    - AF
    - movable Screen
    - Quality
    - weather sealed
    - video
    - Liveview
    - dual SD
    - Colours

    - affordable
    - build in AF
    - good screen
    - 100% viewfinder
    - weathersealed
    - easy menu
    - 1200 shots per battery
    I need a fast af and a good LV for street photography as well as nice colours and good Iso-noise. I really cant decide... Fujifilm lenses are so damn expensive but very very good.
    But it would be a great thing to keep the nikon lenses (18-55mm, 55-200mm, 50mm 1.8)
