Fujifilm X-T2 incorporates useful design features

A nifty LCD construction and more granular continuous-shooting controls top the list.

Lori Grunin
I've been reviewing hardware and software, devising testing methodology and handed out buying advice for what seems like forever; I'm currently absorbed by computers and gaming hardware, but previously spent many years concentrating on cameras. I've also volunteered with a cat rescue for over 15 years doing adoptions, designing marketing materials, managing volunteers and, of course, photographing cats.

Looks similar

The camera has a very similar design to the X-T1, though there are a few important differences.

Fujifilm gets serious about video

To highlight its 4K support, Fujifilm shows off the X-T2 kitted out for serious recording.

Advantage: ILC

Like most mirrorless interchangeable-lens models their size is a lot more suited to handheld shooting when professionally equipped than dSLRs.

Flip-out display

One of the X-T2's unique features is the display, which can tilt up and down when flipped out to the right.
