- lossless RAW compression
- 273 Focus Points
- Improved Noise Reduction
- Pixel Mapping
- Grain Effect
- New Menu Interface
- The X-Pro2 will use Fujifilm NP-W126 batteries

I thought that RAW file is always lossless (and compressed)…
From Wiki
Most raw formats implement lossless data compression to reduce the size of the files without affecting image quality. But some others use lossy data compression where quantization and filtering is performed on the image data. Sony’s lossy 11+7 bit delta compression of RAW data causes posterization under certain conditions. Several Nikon cameras let photographers choose between no compression, lossless compression or lossy compression for their raw images.
So TL:DR Normally RAW is lossless. But some support Lossy RAW. Where you still have more sensor data then in a JPEG.
does it have more mp?
of course it does.
A 16mp sensor with 179 phase detect points doesn’t exist.
probably 24mp..
but fuji stated a few years ago that there is no need for a camera with more than 16MP .. I think 16MP is a bit low nowadays. times and competition changed. A few more MPs would be great. 18-20MP are ideal. (70% of my pictures are croped afterward, so they end up at 16MP anyway), but i think 24MP is too high IMO. slows down the processing on my Laptop
So get a better laptop…
wow.. in all these years with my shitty laptop i have never thought of that! So simple.. thank you for your smart advice on that. waiting for my laptop to boot or lightroom to start will finally be over.
dude.. my laptop is ok. intel i5, 8GB RAM is not too bad for the beginning. it still takes time for lightroom to import pictures.. and they are just (RAW) 16MP big..
im waiting for 50mpix sensor.
they should call the sensor the UV as in ugly video
Meh…. I’d buy it if it was full frame.
I’m interested in dual memory card slots and hope Fuji adds another to the next models.
