This is not rumor, according to Fuji officials the Fuji X-Pro 2 camera is capable to record 4K video and the upcoming X-T2 camera will have the 4K video recording feature. However at the same interview they also conformed that they have no plan to add 4K video in Fuji X-Pro 2 via firmware update.
Take a look at the some glimpse of interview taken by focus-numerique at CP+ show
We asked users of the X-Pro 1 if they used it for video and 80% of them said no. By cons, of course, you can make high quality videos FHD with the X-Pro 2. But according to our studies users do not expect 4K feature on the X-Pro 2. Technically, we could add this feature with a firmware update but we do not plan to do so in the future.
We will integrate the 4K video in the next models of the T series
Monochrome X-Pro
At the beginning we wanted to develop a device of this type, but in the end we opted for the simulation mode (silver black and white films) obtained from color files. For us to judge image quality for a draw. Our tests have shown that visually, the image quality between a photo after an X-Trans sensor color then treated black and white film simulation and a photo of a monochrome sensor was identical. In addition, we asked our ambassadors photographers who responded that he had an urgent need for color images and they were not to use multiple field devices.
Plans for X30 Successor?
Currently not. This segment is very competitive with the presence of Sony, Canon and Nikon now (new range of compact Nikon experts DL). At present, we do not 1 inch version of our X-Trans technology. It takes time to develop.

 Both the camera look solid and stylish, the Fuji X-Pro two is bit bigger in size compared to the Olympus PEN F. The X-Pro 2 uses third genration of X-Trans sensor on the other side we have Olympus PEN F that uses new but traditional CMOS sensor.

From the specification comparison table we can see that
The Fuji X-Pro 2 camera features more bigger sensor and bit extra resolution over the Olympus PEN F, the other advantage of the X-Pro 2 camera is X-Trans architecture based sensor that completely eliminates the need Low pass filter.
 As you can see in the sensor size difference, the Olympus PEN F features 4/3 sensor on the other side the Fuji X-Pro 2 camera features APS-C sensor, so without doubt we will see more details in Fuji X-Pro 2 images.
 The 5 axis image stabilization system used in Olympus reduces the camera shake upto 5 stops, the camera doesn’t need IS based lenses and on the other side we have Fuji that doesn’t feature built in IS, the IS depend upon the type of lenses used.
The AF system of Fuji is advance compared to the Olympus, due to the help of X-Trans tech the Fuji enjoys the Hybrid CMOS AF and lock down AF in a min speed of 0.06 sec only, on the other side we have PEN -F that limited to contrast based AF system only.
Video recording is almost same, both the camera limited to full HD video recording and doesn’t support 4K. It’s really strange to ss a $1K range mirrorless cameras announced in 2016 and remains limited to Full HD mode only.
Olympus PEN-F vs Fuji X-Pro 2 — ISO Test
Olympus PEN-F vs Fuji X-Pro 2 Image Analysis
In the High ISO test we can clearly see that the Fuji is showing more details compared to the Olympus PEN-F camera.
AT ISO 3200 Olympus PEM -F fails to pick the minor details of the image and the Low-Pass filter less Fuji showing intense amount of details with excellent color and contrast output.
At ISO 25600 Fuji showing excellent color, contrast and details compared to Olympus PEN-F camera.
Verdict
Based on specification comparison of both the camera and high ISO test results we highly recommend you to get Fuji X-pro 2 camera if you care about the image quality and AF system.
Do share your thoughts with us.

Sensor
Both camera loaded with advance Sensor technology. The Sony Hybrid Sensor Built with active Phase AF pixels, a total number number of 425 Phase AF points and 169 contrast detect zones to ensure you never miss a single frame while shooting.
No need of LPF in X-Pro 2 – Fuji developed 3rd generation of X-Trans Sensor for the X-Pro 2 camera. The Sensor uses randomized pixel array that completely eliminate the need of optical low-pass filter over it and enables blazing fast AF.
 Full time AF with A6300 – Sony A6300 camera also feature newly developed 24 MP CMOS sensor with 425 Phase detect AF points and 169 contrast detect AF points and undoubtedly the Sony does faster AF than X-pro 2 camera. Take a look at the table below.

The fuji X-Pro 2 features a excellent Shutter range that goes from 60 to 16000 with the help of electronic and mechanical shutter on the other hand the Sony also feature Hybrid shutter but the range remains limited to 60-1/4000.
Continuous shooting speed in A6300 is more faster, the camera can shoot upto 11fps @ 24 MP image files, the Fuji X-Pro2 camera is limited to 5 fps only.
The Fuji X-Pro 2 camera unfortunately limited to Full HD mode only on the other hand the Sony A6300 can shoot 4 videos @ 30fps and Full HD videos at 120fps.
Verdict: Both camera uses new sensor but the Sony sensor is more advance in-terms of AF-capability, the Fuji X-Trans sensor is Low-Pass Less and we do expect bit more sharp images from Fuji. The Sony A6300 have more AF points and will cover more screen compared to Fuji So you never loos your AF on speedy subject.
The Sony A6300 is capable to shoot 4K videos on the go on the other hand the Fuji Xpro2 is limited to Full HD only.
The final choice is your depend upon the type of needs you have but based on Overall based on specification comparison we recommend you to get Sony A6300
