Why does X-Pro2 cost more than X-T2?

[Therapeuo63]

I realize the OVF has some advantages but am wondering why the X-Pro2 costs more given the X-T2's specs/features seem to be getting the nod in a number of areas...video, tilt screen, better EVF, button layout, dual card slots both high speed, battery grip, speed, etc.  Is it a form factor thing?

Hybrid Viewfinder. It's expensive and very complex, hence why only Fujifilm is the only manufacturer who makes one. The other specs are not that far apart in cost.

I would imagine it's more expensive also, because it's aimed at a smaller market. I imagine they anticipated X-T2 sales to significantly outnumber X-Pro2 sales.

The paint job on the X-Pro2 is also pretty expensive, while the X-T2 doesn't have the same paint job.

Because having fewer direct competitors allows Fuji to charge a price premium.  While component cost is certainly a factor, market factors are what drives price more than anything else.

Because it's just a cooler camera. ☺

The X Pro 2 isn't more expensive than the Fuji X-T2....

it is true that the X-Pro 2 is not more expensive than the X-T2 , in same areas of the world at least or for the time being that appears to be the case and, in fact BH and other USA shops give you now an instant rebate making this first camera just a little bit CHEAPER than the second.
