Why it's the recipe body
The Fujifilm X-T2 is a camera that combines elegance with performance, perfect for those who appreciate the tactile feel of a DSLR-style body. Released in 2016, it features the 24.3 MP X-Trans III sensor, setting the stage for many beloved film-simulation recipes. Its robust weather sealing and dual SD card slots make it a reliable companion for any adventure. The X-T2 feels balanced and intuitive, with controls that fall naturally under your fingers, encouraging a seamless shooting experience. Its introduction of the X-Processor Pro brought notable speed and efficiency, enhancing both stills and 4K video capture.
The X-T2 is capable of running recipes designed for the X-Trans III sensor, such as Classic Chrome and Acros. However, it lacks newer features like Classic Negative, Colour Chrome Effect, and Clarity. With seven custom slots, remember that white-balance shifts aren't savable per slot, necessitating manual adjustments when switching recipes. This makes planning your shooting day essential to optimise your workflow.
The X-T2 marked Fujifilm's serious entry into professional-grade features with its X-Processor Pro.
Compared to the X-T20, the X-T2 offers weather sealing and dual card slots.
