Fujifilm’s X-T2 retains retro styling, but shoots faster, and now in 4K

After months of hype and speculation, Fujifilm has officially lifted the veil on its latest mirrorless camera, the X-T2. A second-generation camera, the X-T2 takes a healthy dose of aesthetic inspiration from its predecessor while stepping up its game in terms of specs.

Updated on July 8, 2016: We added new photos from the X-T2 launch event in New York City, as well as some first impressions (not a full review).

Stylistically the camera looks similar to the X-T1, but not so inside. At the heart of the X-T2 is a 24.3-megapixel APS-C X-Trans CMOS III sensor. A massive improvement over the X-T1’s 16-megapixel X-Trans CMOS II sensor, this third-generation variant, first introduced in the X-Pro2, is capable of shooting up to 11 frames per second (fps) when used in conjunction with the Vertical Power Booster Grip, a new battery grip released alongside the X-T2. The sensor also lack a low-pass filter, which helps to enhance image quality.

In addition to still images, this new sensor is also capable of capturing 4K video at up to 30 fps – a first for Fujifilm’s X-series mirrorless lineup. Videos will be limited to 10-minute clips, but it’s possible this limitation could be overcome with a firmware update in the future; with the grip, you can achieve 30 minutes. Noteworthy is that 4K videos support Fujifilm’s Film Simulation mode, for that creative touch that mimics the look for the company’s films products, like Acros.
