Worth it? Definitely! I switched from the X-T1 to the X-T2 as soon as I could.
My X-T1 always hesitated for an instant when I pushed the shutter button. This was irritating -- and the X-T2 fixes this. It is more responsive. And it has a nice, quiet shutter sound. A Sony A7 camera sounds like a small gun in comparison to the X-T2.
Some other improvements:
- The Acros film simulations! They are so good that they are worth half the price of the camera.
- The autofocus joystick. Every camera should have one.
- High ISO performance. With the X-T1, ISO 51,200 was nothing but a bad joke. The T2 is usable all the way up to 51,200 -- and we can now shoot RAW at all ISO settings. When you use Acros, even jpegs at high ISO settings look good.
- The battery meter works as it should. It doesn't drop from half full to PANIC.
- You don't need to push down a tiny locking button to change ISO.
And of course Fuji wouldn't be Fuji if the camera didn't have some quirks and inconsistencies.
- We got a "My menu", but certain settings can't be added to it. No idea why.
- The buttons on the camera back are still too small and too shallow, making them difficult to click.
- We can now see battery level in percent, but only on the LCD, not in the EVF.
