X-A2
Capture memories with the X-A2's tilting screen and classic Fujifilm charm.

In short
The X-A2 supports most Fujifilm film-simulation recipes except Acros. Its Bayer sensor ensures broad compatibility but lacks Acros.
Why it's the recipe body
The Fujifilm X-A2, with its 16.3 MP Bayer sensor and EXR Processor II, is an approachable entry into the world of Fujifilm cameras. The body is compact, yet offers the versatility of interchangeable X-mount lenses. Its 175-degree tilting screen makes it a joy to shoot from creative angles, be it a low street shot or a high overhead capture. This camera feels light and intuitive, perfect for casual outings and everyday photography. While it lacks the Acros film simulation, the X-A2’s sensor renders colours with a pleasing warmth, and the built-in Wi-Fi feature allows for quick sharing of your captures, making it a practical companion for those who want instant results.
The X-A2's Bayer sensor supports most Fujifilm film simulations, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of recipes, though it does not support Acros. With seven custom slots available, you can save a variety of simulations to match different shooting scenarios. While it doesn't offer the advanced features of later models, the X-A2 still provides a flexible platform for experimenting with Fujifilm’s rich palette of film simulations.
The X-A2 succeeded the X-A1, adding a tilting screen and better autofocus.
Compared to the X-A1, the X-A2 has improved autofocus and a tilt screen.
