Fujifilm has just unveiled its all-new X-T2 interchangeable lens camera. Available this September, the new camera might possibly replace the traditional DSLR for many photographers.
Introduced as the successor to the X-T1, which was popular for its autofocus system and large electronic viewfinder, the new mirrorless has a similar look but has grown in size. Yet, it’s the added upgrades that make Fujifilm’s new camera so desirable.
The X-T2 sports new features like a 24.3MP X-Trans CMOS III sensor, and it can shoot 4K video at 24fps, 25fps, or 30fps with a limit of 10 minutes of recording time. Photographers can also purchase the external battery-grip to extend that time to 30 minutes.
Additional upgrades include Native ISO that can go up to 12,800 and super-fast focusing with 325 individual AF points, with 49 of them covering the center phase detect. In addition to the typical dials and buttons, there’s now a focus selection joystick, and the 3-inch LCD can tilt up, down, and to the right.
Equipped with space for two SD cards, a 3.5mm mic input, Wi-Fi and USB 3.0 connectivity, the impressive new camera is available starting at $1,600.
