I’d love to buy this cam. I’ve got already X-100T and X-T1, but it has horrible flaws in it’s design. Seems, Fuji don’t listen to people anymore. The problem is with this flimsy door closing ports on the left side. It’s the same crap as on X-T1, and people complain about it all the time. Within a few months of use it will grow bulge, and it will be not possible to close it properly, cancelling it’s sealing properties against dust and moisture. On this cam, this door is placed even more unfortunately, causing accidental opening. Also, on the picture I see an eye diopter positioned on the left side of view finder, I can imagine a camera strap for example will accidentally change it’s adjustment. No, I will not buy this camera. I’m heavily invested in Fuji, love images, and shooting experience that i don’t want to ruin it with X-Pro2, which is not a ‘pro’ camera at all. I need a upgrade, and I’m already looking at new offerings from the competition, like i.e. a new mirrorless Canon full frame, or maybe Nikon. I hate Sony experience
I suppose this Fuji X-Pro 2 is suppose to be an answer to the Sony DSC RX1 camera. Fuji cameras do not have the marketing advantage that Sony has. Or Nikon and Canon. While this may be a very fine camera, most who already own the Sony DSC RX1, are not abandoning their camera to buy this Fuji camera.
