+It's been barely five years since Fuji plunged into the consumer camera market with the fixed lens X100 and a mere four years since the company's flagship XPro 1 hit the market. This relatively short time in the market is notable because Fuji's new X-Pro2 may well be one of the most fully realized visions of what a camera should be to hit the market in years.
+
+If Fuji's vision of what a camera should be happens to align with your own the X-Pro2 can feel, if you'll pardon the over-used word, magical. In my case I can say that not since I sold my Nikon F3 have I picked up a camera and headed out the door for the sole purpose of taking photos. This is a camera that demands to be used.
+
+The X-Pro2 is the camera Fuji has been looking for. It's not revolutionary. Fuji is not trying to break fresh ground with the X-Pro2. Instead it takes everything that makes the X line appealing and improves all of it.
+
+There's better image quality thanks to the new 24MP X-Trans CMOS III sensor, autofocus is faster, buttons have been moved to better locations, menus have been re-arranged and are now easy to customize, and there's a new film simulation mode. Even video, which has previously been a weak point in Fuji systems, has been drastically improved.
+
+The X-Pro2 is also very deliberate about what is doesn't have. There's no articulated screen, no touchscreen and no 4K video. It is an opinionated machine designed for a specific type of photographer. In fact, judging by comments from Fuji execs, the X-Pro2 sensor is probably capable of 4K video, but it won't be coming, not even via one of the company's famously feature-adding firmware updates. If 4K video is important to you this is not the camera for you -- end of story (the rumored Fuji XT2 will likely have 4K video).
+
+The X-Pro2 is also not a "full frame" sensor though it's output is on par with most full frame systems I've used. And it is an impressive new sensor, Fuji has managed to improve the pixel count considerably without sacrificing anything.
+
+It's output in fact the best I've ever seen.
+
+"On the X-Pro2 the viewfinder feels slightly smaller, and it feels set back a little bit. It is gorgeous, the refresh rate is fast and of course it has the beautiful optical viewfinder too. It definitely has a different feel to it than the X-T1 though. Not worse, just different.

+
+Any camera system though is only as good as its lenses and Fuji lens are exquisite. The all metal construction makes even some of my nicest Nikon lenses feel like the cheap plastic they are. Fujinon sent the new 35mm f2 (50mm full frame equivelent).

+The X-Pro2's weakest point is battery life -- it sucks. Buy two or three extra. The EVF is okay, but nowhere near what the XT1 offers.
