X-Pro2
7

I've had the X-Pro2 now for a couple of months and with just under 10k photos from it I'm finally happy with a Fuji camera, having had the X-Pro1 in the past I was pretty familiar with the camera's layout and handling.

I've had a SLR/DSLR for just over 20 years, usually a Canon or a Nikon which I've used for portraits, weddings etc, I also have a smaller fun camera that I would use for street photography, casual shooting etc, I had the original X100 and then the X-pro1, X-E1/X-E2/X100s/X-T1/X100T, I really like using the Fuji cameras but I've never been consistently happy with the image quality from them, the mushy skin and weird pattern noise you can get always caused me to rage quit the fuji and just use my DSLR for everything.

I held off from getting the X-Pro2 until I'd read enough reviews and seen enough samples that I felt confident that I wasn't going to see mushy skin and weird pattern noise from it.

I've been using the X-Pro2 with the 23mm f1.4 and the 35mm f2 lenses, I've used the X-pro2 in various light conditions, I don't shoot sports but I do shoot a lot of street and that sometimes requires a fast and responsive AF system, so far the X-Pro2 hasn't let me down.

Image quality from the X-Pro2 IMO is a mssive improvement over all previous Fuji's I've used, so much so that I sold my DSLR kit a few weeks ago.

Fuji have finally got a sensor that matches the quality and usability of their cameras and lenses.
