GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Film Photography Enthusiasts & Fujifilm X-Mount Collectors — X-Pro1 (2012): The camera that started it all — slow, imperfect, and still uniquely loveable for the quality of images it produces.
Street, Landscape, Portrait & Documentary — X-T2 (2016): The X-T2 put Fujifilm on the map as a serious system — first X-T with 4K, dual SD, weather sealing, and fast AF that won over photographers worldwide.
