p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Wishlist for Fuji XT2


I've been shooting Fuji for around 6 months now, and love the system. There are quirks and shortcomings, but shooting with the XT1 and some Fuji primes has rekindled my desire to simply go out and "shoot".

That being said, the recent release of the X-Pro 2 has made me think what I'd like to see in the XT2, whenever it is released....

-Base ISO of 100 (or even 50)
-Able to capture RAW at all ISO’s
-2-axis level
-Assign AF-L (or other button) to AF (to separate AF from the shutter button)
-View long exposure progress (a la Olympus’ Live Time)
-Built-in ND filter
-More robust SD card door
-Dual SD card slots
-Exposure bracketing up to +/- 3EV


These are just some things on MY wishlist. I know every camera can't be everything to everyone, but I can hope

What are other wishlist ideas for the XT2 you have?

The focus point joystick. Do that, and I'm in.

The focus-joystick might be a given. On a less realistic note: a effective IBIS (as long as it doesn't add shutter shock problems). A global shutter would be nice too.

I wish you "full frame" people would give it a rest. It would require all new lenses as well as bodies, and they won't be small.
You have plenty of choices to select from-go find problems with them, and let fuji continue to delight with its high quality and light weight image tools.

Focus stick
The new sensor
Same or similar EVF resolution as Leica's SL
Dual card slots

That's all I really want/need.

Not likely to happen. I'll let someone else explain, but from what I've read the way that Fuji measures ISO is different than a lot of other manufacturers.

-Able to capture RAW at all ISO’s
X-Pro 2 already does this, so don't see why it won't be the same.

-2-axis level
Would be nice.

-Assign AF-L (or other button) to AF (to separate AF from the shutter button)
Would be nice to have.

-View long exposure progress (a la Olympus’ Live Time)
I don't see this happening, the additional feature set of Fuji lags behind Olympus (mostly built in) and Sony (via paid apps)

-Built-in ND filter
Not going to happen. Only occuring on fixed lens cameras.

-More robust SD card door
X-Pro 2 is more robust, so I could see the X-T2 being better sealed.

-Dual SD card slots
Not sure if this is likely, if they keep the same body size, might not be able to fit. If they increase size I could see it happening.

-Exposure bracketing up to +/- 3EV
Took them this long to get to +/- 2, give it 4-5 years for them to get to +/- 3

For me I would like all of the X-Pro 2 improvements.

- Improved EVF
- 4k video
- Non mushy buttons. Take the buttons from the X-Pro 2 and just glue them on
- Use the Olympus way of using a dial lock. Click down like a pen to unlock, click down again to lock. This was one of the things I hated about the Sony a7rII, having to hold down the button to change the mode dial.

I mostly like your list. The two axis level, especially. I shoot a lot of homes, commercially and not having that is a huge pain. Leica's implementation is best. Sony's is so sloppy as to make it useless. All the stuff on the XPro2 is probably a given. I'd also like to see an EVF like the SL.

My out there wish would be that it went full frame and became a competitor to the A7 series.

Sensor update
Dual slots
Focus stick
Real BBF
Larger battery

I know... none of us want to buy more batteries... but if the X-Pro2 is any indication: More performance = more power draw. X-T1 shots per charge count is acceptable for me (with grip).

Not going to happen. Let's talk realistic wish lists. Otherwise I would ask for a 120mp sensor, ISO 4,000,000 with a compact 18-200 f/1.8 pancake.

I concur. I shoot full frame for other things, and part of what attracts me to the Fujifilm system is that it is NOT full frame. I like its rather small size – of the body, but even more of the lenses.

There is some indication that Fujifilm is not interested in trying to compete with full frame cameras at this point, but that they may be thinking of some sort of affordable mini-MF sensor camera at some point.

Slightly larger batteries would be good.

Time will tell.

The XT series are SLR styled cameras, not rangefinders.

24mp Bayer sensor
IBIS with pixel shift
Touch/tilt screen
Move focus point via touchscreen while using EVF (like GX7, EM-10 mk2)
Better video codec
Better OCF support

Moving the focus point with the touchscreen while using the EVF is a great feature, but owning the E-M10 II and having just tested the XPro 2 for the past week or so, ID much rather use the latter's joystick. It's just as fast, but much more precise.
