phips243

I just bought the grip for 287€ two weeks ago... But of course it wouldn't have made a difference since I bought the X-T2 in December anyways... But rather call me a fool for buying the X-Pro2 and the XF 35/2 seperately (on the same day) instead of the kit (at the time I hadn't realized there was such a kit available)

Ad 1) You would be surprised how much space the Hybrid Viewfinder takes up. Essentially the whole part left of the bayonet. But yeah, it sounds a bit lame...On the other hand it would be logical that Fuji regards the Pro2 to be more of a stills camera than anything else. It's a "Rangefinder style" camera after all... Ad 2) I don't get your point. That's exactly the problem...with an articulating screen the X-Pro2 would be even bigger than it is now already. Although I wouldn't have minded. One reason why the X-Pro2 is bigger than the X-T2 is the complex, space-consuming viewfinder. Ad 3) No clue. Maybe they only thought of that after the X-Pro2 came out. But honestly: Is that really such a sought after feature? I Never would charge my batteries in camera (and I got both, the X-Pro2 and the X-T2 (although I wish, I rather would have gotten a second X-T2 instead of the X-Pro2). The EVF got me hooked...(I skipped the X-T1 and got two X-T10s instead, so I was used to the smaller EVFs...but as soon as I had the X-T2...)
