Fujifilm X-T2 vs X-T1

Pocket-lint has a very well organized comparison between the Fujifilm X-T2 and X-T1. The initial information dump for announcement day has slowed and now we are seeing a lot of sites comparing specs and debating about whether to upgrade from the Fujifilm X-T1 or not. When I purchased my Fujfilm X-Pro 2, I planned to sell my X-T1 after doing a few comparisons, but I could never bring myself to sell it because the X-T1 is surprisingly competitive. I think the same is true of the X-T2 vs X-T1.  Their close release dates were not nearly as far apart as the dates between the Fujfilm X-Pro2 and X-Pro 1, so upgrading probably wont be as competing as the X-Pro upgrade path.

By Louis Ferreira | Published: July 8, 2016

RRS BXT2

If you preordered the X-T2 The Really Right Stuff has a Fujifilm X-T 2 base plate available for preorder today.

“Really Right Stuff camera body plates are all custom designed for each camera body and precision machined from solid blocks of 6061-T6 aluminum. Fully compatible with any RRS style quick-release system, our plates feature precisely contoured anti-twist flanges for a perfect fit that prevents twisting between the camera and our plate. All of our quick-release plates utilize a custom machined ¼”-20 threaded, captive-style mounting screw that threads into the tripod mounting socket of your camera body.

Really Right Stuff camera L-plates feature two dovetail mounting surfaces in the shape of an “L”; one on the bottom of your camera, and one on the left-hand side. This additional mounting option allows you to quickly change between landscape and portrait orientations while minimizing the need to recompose your shot, saving you time and hassle. Also, an L-plate keeps your gear centered directly above the tripod’s apex which helps maintain the best stability possible.”

Recommended Uses

  • Adding quick-release functionality to your camera body
  • Best method for changing between landscape and portrait orientations
  • Allows portrait orientation with panorama nodal slides
  • Allows landscape orientations with side mount gimbal heads
