I just picked up an X-T20, which is a near functional equivalent in terms of features and with an identical sensor and image processor. I am very happy with the camera overall; however, the three things I find distracting are:

 

1. the very small size (I have larger than average hands, I think)

2. the large number of dials and buttons

3. when holding it, I inadvertently activate the menu because my right hand palm near my thumb routinely bumps the menu/arrow keys on the back of the camera.

 

I have partially mitigated #3 by buying the grip, but it still happens occasionally. To me, this is a significant design flaw but one which I am willing to tolerate. An X-T2 will have problems 2 and 3 but because it is larger I suspect 1 will be less of an issue.

 

The benefits of the camera outweigh these detriments for me. I only have two Fuji lenses, the 16-50 and 50-230. Most of the time I use my Canon FD lenses with a Metabones Speedbooster. The manual focus features are really fantastic for the Fuji, much better than my Sony a7.

 

I sold my Canon gear (5Dm2 plus half a dozen lenses) a few years ago and have no regrets.[/quote

 

After reading your post I read up on this camera and I am almost convinced on going this route. It's more economical for me. I find the touch screen a little more intuitive since I also have a canon SL1.

I personally started photography on a Pentax spotmatic 2. This camera is very similar to it and with all the knobs on the exterior of it and no need to jump into the screen menu for any quick change it should in theory be ideal for what I need.

Good Day to all:

 

So I have decided to abandon and sell my full frame Canon M5d2 and look for something more advanced and within my budget. I have done some research over the last couple of weeks and I have landed on the Fuji XT-2. I would like to ask anyone who has one and shoots with it for feedback on the camera system. Personal pros and cons, I know magazines and professional reviewers get paid to review cameras. I would like to know first hand from someone who has used it day in and day out the good, the bad, and the ugly.

 

Thank You
