Verdict
The original X-T1 has been a firm favourite amongst photographers and us here at TechRadar, and it's easy to see why when you take into account its small form-factor, tactile controls, solid build and lovely results.
It wasn't perfect though, with the AF performance, particularly in continuous mode, a big stumbling block for the camera. It's an area that's undenialably deterred a lot of potential users looking to switch from their DSLR and who've grown accustomed to an advanced AF system that doesn't stumble when trained on a fast moving subject.
Now though, the X-T2 looks to change all that. While maintaining and tweaking the lovely handling characteristics of the X-T1, as well as some welcome additions like the double-hinged rear display, the biggest leap has to be the AF performance.
Not only is it a huge step up from the system in the X-T1, it's a very polished and sophisticated system in its own right, delivering a fast and reliable performance that when matched with the fast burst shooting mode, make this a very capable camera for action.
There's still a bit of room for improvement, but factor in the new sensor that delivers pin-sharp results and the X-T2 has to be one of the most desirable cameras available right now.
