Apparently the XP2 will look just like the XP1

With some slight mods to the speed and exposure comp dials.

Considering that for the most part, the third generation X100T is pretty much like the first X100 and the X-E2 is identical to the X-E1 except for a few button moves, it's a pretty good assumption to expect the X-Pro2 to be a lot like the X-Pro1 on the outside.

But I find it interesting that their secret Japanese source has allowed them to copyright his drawings under their name.

Hard to understand why Fuji still can't get small things right. Fixed LCD and no grip are not gonna fly.

Due to the inevitable compromise to mechanical durability Cameras intended for professional use have traditionally not had an articulated LCD. Nor has there been a demand by professional photographers for one.

I am sure there will be add on grips available to those who want it.

I don't believe the success or otherwise of the X-Pro2 will be much affected by the two factors you mentioned.

In a manner very familiar to Old Pentaxians! I always thought that was a very elegant solution, and traditional in a way that's approriate to ghe style of the camera.
 
The joy stick seems pretty significant. It looks like they worked a bit on the grip and improved it even though it is still small.

It is not surprising it looks similar. The shape is well liked and is useful. Changes inside could be transformative, like the Nikon D810 compared to the D800.

They'll fly just fine with me when the time comes - the grip on the existing camera is perfectly adequate for what it is, and as someone else pointed out, articulating screens just add an unwanted point of failure for some of us. Don't make the mistake of thinking that your preferences = everyone else's, if you want an XT style body just wait for the XT2.
 
I have never used a Spotmatic, so I have a few questions about this new Shutter speed / Iso dial combo :

1) How do you turn the ISO dial ?

2) When you turn the shutter speed dial, the ISO "window" rotates as well, am I right ? At some point you'll be reading the ISO value upside down ?

Color me as Retro enough that I might love the ISO on the Shutter dial. Just as long as the mechanics are sound.

It would be like coming home for me.

I'm undecided about this.

I always use my index finger to turn the shutter speed dial, if the ISO part interferes this will be a negative. I disliked that turning the XT1's ISO was more involved than turning the shutter speed dial so it doesn't look like this will be any easier.

Except for people who like to use a camera up to their eye...and those who actually prefer no grip! :-|
