I’d heard great things about the
Fujifi lm system so decided to take
a closer look. I bought the X-T2 in
used condition in late 2018, along
with the 18-55mm f/2.8-4 kit
lens. The menu system is easy to
understand so whatever system
you are coming from you will
have no problems in mastering
this camera. For photographers
who shoot JPEG, the way Fujifi lm
renders colour in its images is
beautiful, and unique. Shooting at
higher ISO is not a problem as any
noise appears more as grain and
only adds to the image. Fujifi lm
as a company listens to its users
and regularly releases fi rmware
updates that improve the
functionality of their camera
system. My move to experiment
with a mirrorless system was
driven by a desire to lighten my
load and the Fujifi lm X system
delivers this without compromise.


For and against



  • Great range of relatively affordable
    Fujifilm lenses

  • Film simulations
    Ð Not all fast Fujifilm lenses are light
