Fujifilm’s X-series now has two flagships with the X-T2 joining the X-Pro2 launched earlier this year. So whether you prefer to use a DSLR-type or rangefinder-style camera, you’ll have the choice when the X-T2 becomes available in September. Its body price is £1399 and £1649 with the XF18-55mm f/2.8-4 lens. The X-T2 sees several significant improvements over the X-T1, its popular predecessor, most notably in its autofocus performance, and the 24.3-megapixel CMOS III X-Trans sensor that supports, for the first time in an X-series camera, 4K video recording.
