The X Pro2 seems to share a similar underlying sensor architecture to the Sony A6300 with 4K readout, copper wiring, very good class leading high ISO performance. Fujifilm’s tactic to win the competition was to serve up the worst video quality I’ve ever seen from any modern camera, to the point where it was so embarrassing for Fuji in reviews, even in glowing advertorials, that they had to do something about it. Canon accidentally revolutionised everything before hastily pulling the rug from under everyone without a spare $15,000 and roping off a pros-only VIP area in the corner of the room, marked “Cinema EOS Users Only”. Until now, it was a competition between Canon and Fuji in who could hate video users the most. Should we be excited? Are Fujifilm film-like yet? Photo by Andrew Reid. Now Fujifilm have brought their film simulation expertise to a pretty-decent video mode. It’s even pretty close for build quality considering the gap, no, gulf in price. It’s cheaper, lighter, faster but just as nice to shoot with as the legendary rangefinder in terms of feel and optics. It is of course better than a Leica, it strips away all the obsolete mechanical parts! (I am only half joking).
#FUJI XPRO 2 PRO#
The comparisons with a Leica M are inevitable with this camera… For stills the X Pro 2 is extremely special. The Fuji X Pro2 is no longer a slow moving lizard, rather a more rapid reptile hot footing across the desert Mad Max style. Step forward the next specialised tool to turn camera-chameleon: the Fuji X Pro2.Īs we know, a chameleon is a slow moving old-world lizard with long extensible tongue and large protruding eyes (reminds me of someone). Meanwhile RED are persuading medium format photographers to use a 6K Dragon or Weapon.Ī gap in the space/time continuum captain?! Leica are really going to after pro video shooters with the SL.
