Fujifilm X-T2

Just exchanged my T1 for the T2 as the T3 comes out.  I hesitated a long time because it was said that T2 RAW files did not work well in Lightroom 6.  This doesn't seem to be the case, while my wife is unable to process the RAWs from her T3 at all.

My niggles with the T1 were the lack of a threaded shutter release (as on the Pro-1 and the T-10) and the segments on the central Menu nav circle were so recessed (again in contrast to the Pro-1 and T-10) that I couldn't use them without looking at them, and certainly not in the dark.  I'm amazed I put up with this for so long (I just used the T-10 for preference!)

The T2 remedied all these defects, but it took me a while to get used to the locked/unlocked top dials - on the T1 the centre button always had to be pressed to move the dials.  On the T2 you can choose locked or unlocked.  Brilliant!

There are more pixels, which is not always a good thing, but the high ISO performance is no worse than the T1.  The AF is quite fast enough and an improvement on the T10 and T1, though slightly short of the Olympus EM -1 ii.
