Discontinued: No longer produced by the manufacturer. May still be in stock or found used.Fuji X-A2 Assessment
The Fuji X-A2 fits below the entry-level X-M1
Fujifilm X-M1. It features a typical 16 megapixels APS-C CMOS sensor with Bayer and Anti-Alias filters, plus a second generation EXR II processor which captures full-resolution images at 5.6 FPS and 1080p HD video at 30 FPS.
Decidedly entry-level by its lack of a viewfinder, the X-A2 offers a simple feature-set yet has numerous controls, including dual control-dials. There is also a mode-dial and a standard hot-shoe, plus most Fuji lenses have an aperture-ring too.
The X-A2 is the most affordable Fuji mirrorless camera and still supports all X-mount lenses. It delivers relatively good image quality which stands out due to its low noise and high dynamic-range. Sharpness is not perfect but the real weakness is metering which tends to over-expose without sufficient EC. The Fuji X-A2 is also slower than its peers which is not that surprising considering its price but many people will find its Contrast-Detect AF frustrating.
| PROS | CONS |
|---|---|
| Extremely low image noise until ISO 1600 | Tendency to over-expose |
| Good dynamic-range | General image softness |
| Nicely saturated colors | Slow autofocus |
| Good LCD visibility and viewing angle | Below average shot-to-shot speeds |
| High number of external controls | 1s Delay to start video capture |
| Efficient ergonomics | Poor AWB accuracy |
| Solid build-quality | Not Exposure-Priority |
| Dials moves too easily | |
