The Fujifilm X-Pro 2 Might Have The Best APS-C Sensor on The Market

By Louis Ferreira | Published: June 23, 2016

Sony has been producing dominant sensors for some time now, which is why Fujifilm decided to have them manufacture the sensor in the Fujifilm X-Pro 2, but the Sony a6300 currently is the best APS-C sensor on the market by DXO’s measure, which can only be beat by the Nikon D7200 at base ISO. Sadly we will probably never know how much performance Fujifilm squeezed out of their X-Tran Sony sensor, but it has been reported that it has a lot in common with the a6300 sensor so the a6300 DXO test should give us an idea of how the X-Pro 2 compares. Fujifilm and Sony should be very happy that Sony’s new sensor bested the Nikon D500 and only fell slightly behind the Nikon D7200 at base ISO. We have a lot to look forward to with the Fujifilm X-T2 right around the corner.

The Fujinon XF100-400mm F4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR is an incredibly versatile lens. I loved it when I reviewed it and have seen a lot of incredible work done with the lens. Fujifilm Blog just released a great account of using the Fujifilm XF100-400mm for photographing a Bruce Springsteen concert that I couldn’t agree more with. This is a must have lens if you need to shoot something from a distance.

Fujinon XF 16mm Is a Go to Lens

I picked up the Fujinon XF 16mm F1.4 R WR during the most recent sale because of the reputation it earned among photographers and enthusiasts. Little Big Traveling Camera’s recent review sums up how most should feel about the lens but, unlike others, I don’t feel that the Fujinon XF 16mm is heavy or big for what it does. It feels just about right to me, and it is a great lens for photographing family and friends because you rarely have to back up to take well composed pictures quickly. On the other hand, the Fujinon XF 10-24mm F4 R OIS provides similar functionality, but adds the ability to go wide for architecture or tight for street shooting. If I had to pick just one it would probably be the Fujinon XF 10-24mm, but I own both because I like having a weather resistant setup I can shoot at night.
