Fujifilm X-Pro2 official images leaked: what it looks like next to the X-Pro1
Fujifilm’s X-Pro1 mirrorless system camera was launched in 2012, and is long overdue for an update. Fuji Rumors has snagged what looks like official images of the X-Pro 2, which looks like it will be launching in 2016.
At first glance, the X-Pro2 looks quite similar to the X-Pro1, which follows Fujifilm’s design philosophy: Incremental changes when making sequels, and don’t fix what’s not broken. The big changes on the body seem to be:
- A new joystick on the back body - perhaps for AF control, similar to the joysticks on professional DSLR bodies?
- A combined shutter speed dial with a secondary dial (Fuji Rumors says it’s a combined shutter speed and ISO dial)
- A new front dial
Fuji Rumors has these other possible specs:
- A 24MP sensor
- Dual SD card slots
- More than 200 AF points (2/3 are phase-detection AF points)
- Same hybrid viewfinder as X100T
- 1/8000 shutter speed
- 1/250 flash sync speed
- No tilt LCD
- ISO 200 - 12,800 range
In comparison, the existing X-Pro1’s specs are:
- A 16MP sensor
- Single SD card slot
- 49 AF points (all contrast-detection)
- Hybrid multi viewfinder (pre-X100T)
- 1/4000 shutter speed
- 1/180 flash sync speed
- No tilt LCD
- ISO 200 - 6,400 (100, 12,800 and 25,600 available in extended mode)
As with any rumors, they’re to be taken with a pinch of salt. But with official renders leaking and Magnum Photos accidentally outing a January 15 announcement, it looks like the X-Pro2 is very likely coming soon.
