interesting test at lesnumeriique

 

The X-Pro2 focusses faster than the Olympus, Panasonic and Samsung flagships in Low LIght... and it does not even have the final Firmware!!! Check out more here: http://www.fujirumors.com/fujifilm-x-pro2-low-light-af-speed-monster-breaks-the-records-of-olympus-panasonic-and-samsung-flagships/

Meh... as much as I like Fuji I can not help but feel this test is far from being something worth considering.

 

I mean we all know the AF speed is really dependent on the lens used. The best AF body would need the best lens. Also why even with a crappy body you can still get wonderful pictures as long as you are using good lenses, while the other way around is far from being true.

 

And lesnumeriques are well known for being pretty arrogant people that will shun you out if you tend to disagree with them.

 

Until I get it in my own hands to compare to known settings, I wouldn't trust too much anything I read about the AF speed.

At least one part of the test looks intriguing... the X-Pro2 is significantly faster than the X-T1 which presumably used the exact same lens. Hard to mess that test up!

Not sure whether to trust the numbers, but all the reviews put AF speed in the "very fast, don't notice it's mirrorless" category. This is a rangefinder-style camera meant for a more contemplative style, NOT a sports monster (that's called the X-T2), but it's a ridiculously fast rangefinder.

I have no issues with that part of the test. I mean Fuji X series has been known of AF speed issues, it would be rather silly from Fuji to not address that weakness spot, specially after boasting a fastest AF speed ever from the X-T1...

this and with many of the reviewers who have shot the X-Pro 2 saying it is faster than the X-T1 sounds very promising. I've been trying to resist buying one now hoping they offer it with a kit of 35mm f/2 but it's getting more difficult to not press the preorder link.
