T2 advantages over X-Pro2

[bitbonk]

Now that the X-T2 is out, I would like to compile a comprehensive list of advantages the X-T2 has over the X-Pro2. Can you help?

 

Starting with the viewfiner: it is brighter and larger (how much larger?) and has a higher framerate (100fps instead of 70fps), right?

Actually the frame rate of the XP2 is max 85fps. But why do you want this list? Two different cameras for different shooting styles. That is the reason to choose one over the other. Not the features it does or does not have.

I think one of main advantages is the AF improvement, mainly about AF-C settings.

But let's wait for next X-Pro2 firmware update (2.0) coming in October that promises AF improvements.

AF improvements in general will be transferred to the X-Pro 2.

But the AF-C settings are X-T2 exclusive.

It has a 0.77 magnification compared to 0.59x with the X-Pro2

 

More advantages:

- 4k Video

- USB 3.0 transferring 480MB/s

 

And of course different ergonomics...

It looks like X-T2 has more PDAF pixels than the X-PRO2? Form factor aside that would be the biggest technical difference to me

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.

Off the top of my head:

 

4K

 

F-Log (via HDMI, also 4:2:2 via HDMI)

 

Headphone jack (in grip)

 

3.5mm mic jack

 

AF-C profiles

 

Bigger/Better EFV

 

Zebra

 

Peaking during video recording

 

Live audio monitoring that can be adjusted by assigned buttons

 

More AF points and more contrast detect AF points

 

Tilty sceen

 

Both slots are UHS-II type (only slot one is on the xpro 2)

 

Battery grip (xpro2 obviously doesn't have

 

11fps in boost mode and apparently it can go 14fps with some restrictions

 

I think the buffer is bigger

Correction, has more Phase detect, not contast
