I think it’s my biggest complaint.įuji X-Pro 2 + Rokinon 12mm f/2 (and PS… being older and having joint issues, this shot would have been so much easier with a rotating LCD!) Like it or not, it’s a poor decision Fuji made to not include an LCD that rotates in some fashion… and it really really irks me.
#XPRO V2 REVIEWS PROFESSIONAL#
Isn’t it ridiculous that the inferior, inexpensive XA1 can accomplish something the more professional X-Pro2 cannot? I have to work quickly and can’t fumble around with the phone app in one hand and the elevation pole in another… I need to set the camera on intervals of 8 second shots and walk around and take the photographs with the camera way out of reach… and the only way to frame the shot is with an LCD that can be pointed down at me. I’m often on job sites where I need to take photos using an elevation pole, where the camera is a good 10-20 feet above me.
Here’s one example of professional use that the X-Pro2 will not able to do for me: Quick, high-vantage point photography. Anyone who puts their camera on a tripod or needs to get their camera up high or down low benefits from an articulating LCD. In my travels around the internet, I’ve heard it said that Fuji insinuated that “professionals” don’t need an LCD that rotates or pivots. Let me just say that in today’s day and age, there’s absolutely no reason to make a camera that doesn’t have an articulating LCD. Should I start with my complaints? Let’s get those out of the way first… There were three main things that excited me about the prospect of buying the X-Pro2 when Fuji announced it to the world: The new sensor, the weather-sealing and overall improved performance. These will just be some examples and practical thoughts about a camera I was excited to buy because of the specifications promised in their January announcement.
Having owned several of their bodies and being such a fan, there were a few new features the X-Pro2 promised that convinced me to jump in as an early adopter, and so far I haven’t been disappointed.įirst, let me start off by saying that this isn’t going to be an overly technical review, since those aren’t the type I like to write.
Since the purchase of my first Fuji back in 2012, I’ve been an enthusiastic user of their cameras. A Fuji X-Pro 2 Real World Review from a Fuji Fan
