Those are the very first images of the new Fuji X-PRO 2! The camera will be announced on January 15. Thanks Fujirumors for leaking those!
By the way: The “old” X-PRO 1 now sells for $499 only at Amazon US. Not bad…

Let’s all wait for George to bash the fuji system again.
looks ugly… you will definitely need a bag to hide it
I like it so far. I’d even go so far as to say I would buy it just to try out or keep as a backup system, but only if Fuji went to a conventional CFA. Unfortunately, I am pretty sure they are still going to use the xtrans CFA on this. Too bad, because I think these cameras are pretty great, and I love their lens lineup.
agreed… it is not an object of beauty the last truely beautiful camera made was the CONTAX G ….if the designers at fuji had emulated it ……..
my fuji x100s and my xe1 and xe2 shine next to this misshapen creation
So you think that the camera above is ugly, but the camera here in my post is a beauty? I mean, they look quite similar!? (Except that the Contax is smaller and full frame)
“Cezannes bathers” does not look like a Keen “dogs playing poker”….they look nothing alike …for these cameras .the nuance is in the proportions, as in a human face. The difference between beautyand ugly in measured in millimeters and where they occur …..learn to look deeper …..but thanks for the excellent picture
also thats a G2 the first G is prettier
Well good for you that you can appreciate the small but important little things in life that make one thing more valuable and disireable than the other. Bet you have a lovely whife as well that you have chosen carefully (or was it the other way around?) Mine left me by the way.
that ability makes life worth living , my wife isnt as lovely as you imagine …but i love her all the same …..its not about value or desire
but difference… next time you swig a delicious frosty beer …..cheers from nyc
Ok, I will try to be positive about things and try to see the good things in life, even if is hard today. Cheers from Stockholm.
So we waited 4 years for this?!?..looks weird..and the Dpad looks way to low for a thumb to reach..
No Flip LCD – and for sure no Touch LCD – – seems they could have made the LCD larger – lots of waisted space on the right of LCD – or for more buttons and controls –
So Fuji still catering for the Purists – my thinking is that there are fewer and fewer Purists – and with a price tag which I suspect will be around $2000 that it will not be a huge seller –
a new Xt-2 will be on the horizon soon and for less money and in my mind better looking and smaller –
Agree 100%. After 4 years I expected more direct Fn buttons in XP2 to shoot on the fly without need to go to menu, look at Panas, Oly, Nikon and even Sony, they offers 2-4 direct Fn buttons for years now, but Fuji “Pro” cam still only 1! Where are Custom Modes that we were asking for years – no Fuji cam offers them? No tilt LCD which is very useful for street shooters – I used in about 25% of my street shots. It’s probably 100% sure it has old Sony 24MP sensor… not impressed after 4 years waiting….I wait now for X-2s.
All the Dpad buttons can be customized. And some of other buttons might be customized as well. So, there are “MORE THAN 5 Fn buttons” on this camera.
It does not help much because you need these basic buttons as well for in-fly shooting and not going to Menu all the time. That’s why direct Fn buttons are needed for programing fast access to other features. Fuji offers for years only one direct Fn button, their cams – I tried 3 of them – are the slowest on the marked, not suited well for in-fly shooting. Look at others makers that offers 2-4 direct Fn buttons, 3 Custom Modes (Fuji no one CM and still 1 Fn button!). And it asks double the price. For what – joystic only and “Pro” name?
Each of those Dpad buttons ARE individual Fn buttons. Each of them ARE “DIRECT Fn buttons for programing fast access to other features.” And you can use these buttons “for in-fly shooting and not going to Menu all the time.”
It’s not new – you can program D-pad buttons in all other cams if you do not need to use features they are programed for. These are not direct Fn buttons. It’s not the case here. Fuji offers much less than others but wants to take much more from my Visa card. And sorry but not – Fuji are not well designed and featured cams for fast, dynamic and in-fly shooting. Also AF is at the end of the competition rise. They are good for slow photography, just it.
Yes, the X-Pro line is designed for slow photography (X-T supports other genres). What’s wrong with that?
How did you know that the X-Pro2’s AF is “at the end of the competition rise” ? Have you ever used it? 🙂
GEORGE GO OUT AND SHOOT YOU FATSO. YOUR PHOTOS NEED WORK AND YOU KNOW IT HAHAHA
George. Stop. Please. You are embarrassing yourself.
George you cant even get decent photography jobs and you’re here bashing cameras hahaha
Very disappointed at the apparent lack of a tilt screen for waist-level composition. This may be a dealbreaker. I’ll likely wait for the first camera to incorporate the new 24MP sensor in a body with a tilt screen.
Looks like the ethos of the X-Pro 1 is preserved. Fits a slowish, thoughtful shooting process much like a Leica M. A tilting screen or too many bells and whistles might deter potential buyers, though I wonder whether a hybrid viewfinder is required these days. Serves the aesthetic for sure, but adds unnecessary complexity where elegant simplicity is due.
Fuji will be in risk if did not go FF. Sony will wreck rivals with A7000. If not Sony then Samsung will did the same 🙂 M43 GH series will be no room for video segment soon or otherwise keep sale for lower price tag.
