FUJIFILM X-T2 Still & 4K/UHD Camera

FUJIFULM North America today announced the newest in their interchangeable lens X-series cameras, the FUJIFILM X-T2.

The X-T2 has received several significant improvements over the 2014 release of its predecessor, the X-T1, including a new 24.3MP X-Trans CMOS III SPS-C sensor, a large 2.36 million dot OLED viewfinder, and 4K (3840×2160) video with a .mov file type. The X-T2 also received a dramatic boost in its autofocus system, increasing the number of AF points to 325 (from 71 points in previous models), as well as expanding its Zone focusing points to 91 (from 49 in previous models). Like all FUJIFILM X-Series cameras, the X-T2 takes advantage of the large library of X-Mount lenses (17.7 mm flange depth) currently available for the system.

The FUJIFILM X-T2 (body only) will be available in September 2016 in the U.S. for USD $1,599.95.The X-T2 and XF18-55mm (27-84mm) kit will be available in September 2016 in the U.S. for USD $1,899.95.
