- In this video, I share my thoughts about the X-Pro2. Keep in mind that this is not a technical review, this is a camera from 2016 so no reason to go in depth. What I do talk about is the current state of the camera industry, what makes the Xpro2 special to me, and if you should buy one.

Mate, I can explain, why the pictures look so good: you are an amazing photographer. And yes, X-Pro 2 is one of a kind. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much. X-Pro 2 is still doing the job for me! :) This is a classic camera. If it ever goes out of service, I will get another X-Pro 2!
Monochrome is my favorite setting when I shoot too. I used the xpro 1 and I love it. Thank you. I will never give up on photography it's in my nature to take photos.
Your B&W images are absolutely beautiful! In the hands of a shooter with your obvious passion and talent, the xpro 2 is the perfect tool!
Thanks for sharing with us.
I totally agree with you! X-Pro 2 is definitely a passion camera.
I like your video, I like your pictures and I love your sense of humor 😉 As a married man I agree that the postman always arrives at the wrong time with new camera 😂 All best from Poland
You can really see the passion you have about the craft, i'm about to buy a XPro2 and can't wait to start shooting!
Very genuine video! Thanks Jairo!
The story with the wife was something genuine and relatable lmao 😂
I have the camera and the lens - I love it. It's my only lens and I intend to master it before getting a 35mm equivalent
KILLER images my man! Keep up the good work👊🏼
Aye!!! Thank you thank you! Go Fujifilm! I see you got a review up as well! 🙏🏼 Keep it up as well!
Great, thanks for sharing your thoughts
Thank you so much fir watching! 🙏🏼
Great video & great photography! Just traded in my X100F & XT1 for the X-Pro2. Waiting for it in the mail.
Thank you for watching! I hope you are enjoying your X-Pro 2!
Price wise, you did great! Waiting for mine at 1,000.00 as of today! Tks for this!
The camera is amazing. I picked one up a few months ago and haven’t put it down since. But you are also an incredible photographer. Would love to hear about your editing process too
I agree bro, if folks wanna shoot video they should buy video cameras or at least cameras that are more for vlogging, videography, etc.. I hope that Fujifilm don’t give in to the hype and pressure. I was so happy with their XT5 release/campaign; 'photography first'. I also hope photographers/artists/creatives keep supporting them for staying true to photography.
Video is awesome, don't get me wrong, I am literally in awe, when I see amazing video work.
Besides all that brother, best for last, your images absolutely rock, thanks for sharing, keep inspiring, theres a realness to your work bro, thanks again. Salute 🫡
X Pro 2 gang, I’m shooting the 23mm f2 and 50mm f2
Same🎉
thx for your video. Got the x-pro2 myself (and the x-pro1, x100, x-t1 and x-t3 'cause you can never have enough Fuji's!) and like it for what it does. I like the erf for high contrast scene and mostly use the ovf and sometimes the lcd for quick shots. I have the 18 f2 and 35 1.4 which work great with it. For continous af i have the 23 f2 and 50f2 which also render nice but a bit different (not as classic rendering as the 35 1.4 and 18 f2, but not as clinical as the new 23 1.4, 33 1.4 etc) these are a bit in the middle :)
I do agree with you, we don't need the latest model, and I always wait for my current camera to die off before I plan to get the next old camera. Anyway so far my camera is still going strong since 12 yeras ago. Have a nice day.
Hey, I appreciate you watching and leaving a comment. Agreed!
That’s exactly what I’m doing, waiting for both of my xpro2 ans xh1 to die off before replacing them with newer cameras.
What camera are you shooting with?
@@ChaconJairo Currently I am still holding on to the fujifilm GF670 (film medium format) and Pentex *ist DL2 (6.1Mp CCD sensor). But GF670 has been lying in the drybox for almost two year since film cost is getting expensive in my country. *ist though low pixel but I dont do print large so its still good for my usage.
Enjoy your shooting and have a good day.
wow black and white pict....!!!! what simulation do you use, please? may you send me the setting please? thanks paddy
I have a graphite xpro2 and a black xpro2. The black body has the issue where it randomly/intermittently refuses to turn on until I remove and replace the battery. It’s not an issue to me, or hasn’t been, so far. It’s like a sulky kid that won’t do as it’s told until you give it a hug😂
Hi Jairo. I've only one question which relates to the reason why I'm hesitant in considering an XPro2--How's your unit's eyecup? Has it held up or has it begun to degrade such that it would eventually fall off sooner or later? (It's a very known issue of this specific Fujifilm camera body). Thank you.
Eye cup is still good! No signs of wearing off.
What music Track are you using?
Great video bro ..so the pics you put up are those jpgs or did you edit them ? I just got my Xe4 but I really like the look of the X Pro 2
Hey! Thanks for watching! I use the classic chrome as the base and then I edited in Capture One. It really makes a difference editing in Capture One to really get the look you want. For the longest I’ve relied on Fuji’s film simulation and raw converter however since I bought the Macbook Pro M1 Pro, my editing has jumped to another level.
@@ChaconJairo ok so you edit the jpgs in Capture One . Is this better to do over Lightroom ? I also have a M1 . But I’ve been using Lightroom beside I am a Sony shooter A7IV ..but very interested in Fuji
@@87visuals49 hey! I don’t edit the jpegs. I edit the raw files. I use the Film Simulation as a base (or filter) and then fine tune it. I went with Capture One to see if it handles Fuji files better and it does. However, I also went with Capture One to avoid paying adobe every month.
I know a lot of Sony shooters that jumped over to Fujifilm for variety of reasons. If you want to use it for fun, I don’t see why you shouldn’t pick up and older camera/lens. Be warned tho, it may cause you to sell off your Sony gear and jump over lol
@@ChaconJairo ohhh ok I see lol and funny this is I haven’t shot in RAW at all on this camera yet so I will soon definitely. Lol and I have been considering switching over to Fuji for photo and keeping my Sony for video
Hi! Do you shoot jpg or raw files. Your pictures are stunning, how much did you add in post? Regards, Stephan
My apologies for the delay in responding! I shoot in RAW and edit in Capture One. Most of the pictures I have already edited and used them for the video. I will make sure to be clear if I am using the in camera raw process JPEGS. Thank you for viewing and for leaving a comment. God bless!
@@ChaconJairo THX!
❤
Yes I agree. This camera is a photographers camera. What is killing photographers cameras. It is video! Why could they not have a camera dedicated to video as it was.
Anyway thanks.
Or you can just buy a XE3 for less. Same thing spec wise but smaller and lighter. Xpro2 is a bit overkill for EDC or travel because you don't need 2 memory card slots unless you're a paid photographer. The camera does look and feel premium then XT2 and XE3 hence the price.
I have my x100v for edc. Xpro 2 with a 35mm and that’s about all I would take for traveling but I don’t use that since I have the x100v.

Ps: i especially laughed when you mentioned the camera arrived just when you were going to leave the house with your wife. Spouses and camera's dont always go well together, I know :) But when you take nice pictures and develop them they will most of the time calm down ^^
Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts! I agree, can’t get enough of Fujifilm!
You are totally right about cameras and wife not going well together. However, when I push her to take pictures professionally as well, she can’t complain as these cameras are producing money for us! :D
