Very sensible approach. As I'll be one of those early adopters on this one, I think I might do a write up of my thoughts and experience after a month or so of using it very heavily.

If you are a studio shooter the X-T2 has tethering capability and the X-Pro2 does not and apparently never will, that can be a rather big deal for most studio shooters.

Price of the body is only one small part of the equation if you are putting together a system. Personally for what I like to shoot, the Fuji system is cheaper, as good FX Nikon glass costs a fair bit more than Fuji's plus a filter system for an ultrawide zoom for the Nikon 14-24 or Tamron 15-30 is much more expensive than a filter system for the Fuji 10-24. I bought a Nikon D610 a year ago and have 2 lenses at this point and was planning to buy a couple expensive ones this summer but after playing around with my brother's X-Pro2 and comparing the image quality and looking at the Fuji system as a whole, I have opted to ditch Nikon for Fuji instead and it will end up being cheaper for me overall for a similar kit and no loss in image quality.

I've already pre-ordered the X-T2 last night when they went live. I prefer the ergonomics of the X-T2 as well as the flip out screen, tethered shooting, and the optional battery grip. The X-Pro2 not having those features made it a deal breaker for me.

If it is the same micro USB port that has been used previously and is on many android phones then it is only USB 2. The wider micro USB port with the notch that you speak of is a USB 3 port, however there is a smaller port called USB-C that can be used for USB 3, it is also a reversible port and is used on devices like the new MacBook, Nexus 6P, OnePlus 3, etc. USB-C is also the port that will be replacing all other USB ports going forward even the full sized ones.

When you buy a 27mm lens from Fuji it is the focal length of 27mm, the focal length of a lens does not change based on the camera body or sensor it is placed in front of. The focal length written on the outside of the lens is actually a measurement of the distance between the point of convergence inside the lens and the sensor or film inside your camera. Here is a diagram that illustrates this point. So when Fuji or any other manufacturer labels a lens as 27mm they are telling you what that measurement is, that's all.

Hello everyone! my name in Justin Fox and I am a photography student in London, Ontario Canada and currently a Nikon D610 shooter. Once the Fuji X-T2 is released I plan on switching from Nikon to Fuji, I just hope it gets released before I go on exchange to Ireland in mid September. If anyone would like to check out some of my work, I am jfoxshoots on both instagram and 500px. I look forward to interacting with everyone in this community and jumping into the Fuji world soon!
