Fuji Unveils Long-Awaited X-Pro2
News
2016.01.15
The original Fuji mirrorless was upgraded today. The new X-Pro2 introduces the first 24 megapixels X-Trans CMOS III sensor and X-Pro processor to provide a worthy upgrade over its predecessor. With what is a highly analog design, the X-Pro2 offers a hybrid viewfinder which switches between EVF and OVF modes like the original X-Pro1, except with several refinements later introduced with the X100T.
The 24 megapixels APS-C sensor uses the X-Trans pseudo-random color filter-array made of 6x6 grids which make an anti-alias filter unnecessary to prevent moire artifacts. It keeps a base ISO of 200 and expands its standard sensitivity range up to 12800, up one stop from previous generations despite having 50% more pixels. Its expanded range covers ISO 100-51200. A new hybrid shutter offers mechanical speeds up to 1/8000s and electronic ones up to 1/32000s. It can also capture full-resolution images at 8 FPS with a deep buffer for 83 JPEG images or 33 RAW files.
The design of the X-Pro2 remains largely the same as the original X-Pro1 with a few changes, including a two-level shutter-speed and ISO sensitivity dial, plus a small joystick to move the active AF-area. The EVF remains at 2.4 megapixels with 100% coverage while pushing the refresh rate to 85 Hz. The rear LCD now has a much higher resolution at 1.6 megapixels.
The new Fuji X-Pro2 is weather-sealed and freezeproof down to -10C, completing its professional feature-set, including dual control-dials. It is the first Fuji mirrorless to feature dual memory-card slots, both SDXC but one UHS-II and one UHS-I. It is unclear what this means when using the slots in redundancy mode.
The X-Pro2 is expected at the end of next month for $1700 USD or $1900 CDN. Pre-orders are already accepted. Check out the Fuji X-Pro2 specifications page for locations.
