"Buy advice.

Fuji X-T2, as a professional single camera that can shoot sports, has a good balance between face value and professionalism. It not only has excellent performance such as 24.3 million pixel low-pass X-Trans CMOS III sensor, 325-point hybrid autofocus system and 4K video, but also continues the advantages of Fuji retro modeling and film color. Performance does not lose SLR, and it also has advantages in size, workmanship and appearance. If you are a person who pursues professionalism but has a little personality at the same time, Fuji X-T2 is the most suitable. In addition, Fuji X-T2' s energizing handle should also be purchased together, which can improve the grip and greatly improve the performance.

As for how to choose between X-T2 and X-PRO2, first of all, from the appearance, X-PRO2 continues the retro style, while X-T2 is closer to the shape of a SLR camera, and the viewfinder part protruding above the forehead is more in line with the use habits of SLR users. Moreover, the X-T2 adopts a 3-way reversible screen, so the X-PRO2 is closer to the traditional street sweeping camera in shape, but it is undoubtedly superior in the convenience of framing. In addition, X-T2 also supports 4K video, although video is not a necessity for every user. Another important point is that the maximum continuous shooting speed of X-T2 using mechanical shutter with handle reaches 1 1 sheet/sec, and that of electronic shutter reaches 14 sheet/sec, while the maximum continuous shooting speed of X-PRO2 is only 8 sheets/sec, which is still a big gap.

Therefore, although X-T2 and X-PRO2 are both ace cameras in their respective product lines, they have different emphases. X-PRO2 has a higher appearance, and the hybrid viewfinder is a highlight. If you have a heavy story about off-axis shooting and don't often need the snapshot function, X-PRO2 is a good choice, suitable for slow comrades who like to savor the art of photography slowly. On the other hand, the performance of X-T2 is undoubtedly better than that of X-PRO2. Generally speaking, I recommend users to buy X-T2. Although the two periods have their own characteristics, the advantages of X-T2 are too obvious. If there is no persistent prejudice on appearance, X-T2 is more suitable for purchase, and we will wait and see about the price.

Today, Canon, Nikon and Sony occupy most of the camera market. It is not easy for Fuji to win a position. However, it is gratifying that we can see that Fuji will not only launch high-value digital cameras with film filters for mass users, but also make great strides towards professional models. And while catching up with the performance of SLR, I don't forget my advantages in appearance and color. I believe it will attract many professional users who pursue individuality. At the same time, I also believe that in the future professional camera field, Fuji will definitely exist.

"1, the appearance changes little, and the grip is better.

The atlas takes into account both the face value and the professional Fuji X-T2 unpacking picture appreciation.

The appearance of Fuji X-T2 is still retro. Compared with X-T 1, except that the outline is slightly larger and the thumbwheel size is slightly larger, other changes are not big, which is more convenient for a user with big hands to control and hold. After adding the handle, the volume is much larger. In addition, the high-speed continuous shooting is increased from 8fps to 1 1fps, the shooting interval is increased from 0. 19 seconds to 0. 17 seconds, and the shutter delay is increased from 0.05 seconds to 0.045 seconds. In addition, the endurance is significantly improved. Therefore, if you plan to buy the X-T2, the handle is also available.

"2. It is more efficient to focus on 325 points with the remote control lever.

Many times, people often ask for top-level equipment, because top-level equipment has a powerful focusing system, and the biggest upgrade of Fuji X-T2 is also here. First, the focus of Fuji X-T2 increased from 49 points to 9 1 point.

Up to 325 points. Compared with X-T 1, the phase detection area is increased by about 230%.

▲

The focus is at 9 1 and 325 points.

▲9 1 focus

▲325 focus points

In order to let people choose the focus in more aspects, X-T2 (similar to Canon 5D series) has been added to the highly acclaimed eight-way rocker on X-PRO2. The focus area can be adjusted in eight directions. I like this one very much, which can greatly shorten the time to adjust the focal length.

▲ Eight-way remote control lever

In addition to increasing the number of focus points, the focus tracking performance is also greatly enhanced.

In addition, Fuji X-T2 also provides a variety of focusing modes, such as basic, ignoring obstacles, accelerating/decelerating objects, accidentally entering the frame, and irregularly moving objects, which basically cover all types that may be encountered in daily shooting. It can also be saved as preset setting 6 by manual setting. Very human.

3, Zhang Zhang and Jiao handle blessing continuous shooting is even more powerful

High-speed continuous shooting with 8 frames per second.

The flagship is not a bright spot, but after using the booster handle, the speed of continuous shooting is increased to 1 1 sheet/second. Moreover, the shooting interval is increased from 0. 19 seconds to 0. 17 seconds, the shutter lag is increased from 0.05 seconds to 0.045 seconds, and the endurance is also significantly improved. It's like doping. of course

This design is not to make money from the handle, but because the handle raises the voltage, so the performance is improved.

In normal mode, Fuji X-T2 can achieve 8 continuous shooting per second.

In boost mode, Fuji X-T2 can achieve continuous shooting of 1 1 sheet per second.

It is worth mentioning that it can be achieved when using an electronic shutter.

14 sheets/sec

Continuous shooting speed. The X-T2 can be opened and closed, and I am deeply impressed by both the 8-frame/s and the 1 1 frame/s high-speed continuous shooting with increased capacity. This also shows that X-T2 not only has a retro "face value", but also a professional "kernel".

"4, 24.3 million pixel quality does not lose the mid-range SLR.

Fuji X-T2 adopts a newly developed 24.3-megapixel X-Trans CMOS III APS-C sensor and cancels the low-pass filter. Let's see how it performs. We use

Fuji X-T2

The fuselage is equipped with 10-24mm lens for sample shooting, and 100% enlarged screenshots of the center and edge of the picture are taken for comparison:

▲ Resolution test

From the screenshot of 100% enlargement,

Fuji X-T2

The resolution performance is still good, which can fully meet the various needs of daily shooting. 5.ISO6400 is available.

The sensitivity range of Fuji X-T2 is from ISO 200 to ISO 12800 (the extended output sensitivity range is ISO 100-5 1200). Let's do a real shot test of sensitivity.

▲ Sensitivity test

As can be seen from the above figure,

Fuji X-T2

Below ISO3200, the picture remains relatively pure without obvious noise; When ISO rises to 6400, there is slight noise in the picture. ISO is higher than 6400, details are lost and noise is obvious. Generally speaking, Fuji X-T2 has a very good high sensitivity performance.

It is recommended to use the sensitivity below ISO6400 for daily shooting. "6. The film mode is practical and convenient.

Film filter is the advantage of Fuji camera. Fuji X-T2 also has film simulation functions, including PROVIA/ standard, Velvia/High Saturability, ASTIA/ Flex and ACROS black and white films. The advantage is that it saves a lot of trouble in the later period, and the JPG image is already very beautiful.

"7. Professional recording experience supporting 4K shooting.

Fuji X-T2 is the first model in Fuji X series that can shoot 4K video.

Next, we shot videos in 4K format and 1080P respectively in the actual scene, and took screenshots of 100% for comparison.

▲ Video screenshot 100% zoom in and compare

From the screenshot,

Fuji X-T2

Real-shot 4K video has excellent image quality and can be used as a picture even if a single frame is intercepted. Another significance of 4K video for most users is that we compress the 4K video we shot into full HD format for output, which is better than shooting full HD video directly. It is worth mentioning that the video shooting process also supports movie simulation, which can make more creative shooting according to the theme and reduce tedious post-production. In addition, the endurance of Fuji X-T2 is increased by about 3 times with the handle, and the shooting time of 4K short film can be extended from about 10 minutes to 30 minutes. "8, real samples

about

How to choose between X-T2 and X-PRO2, firstly,

In terms of appearance, the X-PRO2 continues the retro paraxial style, while the X-T2 is closer to the shape of a SLR camera, and the viewfinder part protruding above the forehead is more in line with the usage habits of SLR users. In addition, the X-T2 adopts a three-way reversible screen.

Therefore, the X-PRO2 is closer to the traditional street sweeping camera in shape, but it is undoubtedly superior in the convenience of framing.
