's X-Series of cameras, the successor to the X-Pro1. Sales began on 3 March 2016. The X-Pro2 is the first mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera to have dual SD card slots. Fujifilm made some changes to the layout from the X-Pro1 and added a joystick. The X-Pro2 jointly won a Camera Grand Prix Japan 2016 Editors Award. The successor to the X-Pro2 is the Fujifilm X-Pro3 announced in October 2019.

Features

The Fujifilm X-Pro2 mirrorless camera is aimed at professional and ambitious amateur photographers. The camera body has a X mount for connecting Fujinon XF and XC lenses. The autofocus system works as a hybrid using contrast and phase detection, this allows focusing and release within 0.15 to 0.25 seconds from infinity to two meters. For manual focusing, a focus magnifier, a digital split image indicator as well as

This is a combination of optical (OVF) and electronic viewfinder (EVF) and allows the photographer to superimpose information into the optical viewfinder field. A selection lever can be used to switch to the electronic viewfinder with 2.36 million pixels and 100% viewfinder coverage. The X-Pro2 does not have automatic modes, HDR or
