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
focus peaking

are available to the user. The camera allows to capture 30
raw or about 140
JPEG shots at up to eight frames per second, assuming a
SDXC-UHS-II memory card. The mechanical shutter allows exposure times of 30 to 1/8000 seconds, using the
electronic shutter will allow
shutter speeds up to 1/32,000 second.
In addition to a fixed rear
LC display, the camera has a hybrid optical viewfinder. 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
panorama functions. Like its predecessor, the
X-Pro1, it features various Fujifilm-typical film simulations. In addition, the user is provided with functions for automatic exposure, white balance, dynamic range and film simulation series.

Fujifilm “X-Trans” CMOS Sensor
The camera is equipped with a
Fujifilm X-Trans Sensor-III, which has an
APS-C 23.6 × 15.6 mm format, a
resolution of 24.3
megapixels
In digital imaging, a pixel (abbreviated px), pel, or picture element is the smallest addressable element in a raster image, or the smallest point in an all points addressable display device.

and a
pixel pitch of 3.9 µm. In contrast to
Bayer CMOS sensor, this type features a different structure, which thus enables a different sampling method and eliminates the need for an optical low-pass filter (OLPF). The absence of a low-pass filter has a positive effect on the image resolution.
