It also acts as a camera riser and allows for easier tripod mounting with larger lenses. With the battery grip comes the option to triple your battery life and gain a headphone jack. If you plan on using the Fuji X-T2 for serious video work, I would highly suggest this addition. This can be extended to the standard DSLR/mirrorless cutoff of 29 minutes 59 seconds with the addition of the battery grip.
4K video clips are limited to 10 minutes for fear of overheating. The image quality can only carry the camera so far, and the Fuji X-T2 does become less appealing as you start to pull back and look at the package as a whole. A film “look” or “feel” is completely subjective, but I would say it leans closer to film in color and contrast at default settings than other cameras.

Skin tones look great, but those wanting color accurate representations of landscapes might find frustration in the editing room. The colors produced by the sensor are not the most accurate but are pleasing in a way that a camera made by a company most famous for its film should be. Power poles and lines pop in and out very noticeably. Moiré can get ugly and is worse when recording in 1080p, and the math Fuji uses to downscale the sensor image shows quite a bit of aliasing as well. There is a slight 1.17x crop at 4K, but it’s not so drastic that your wide angle lens slides into a normal range. I was most surprised by the sharpness of the image that this 6K APS-C sensor produces. The film-like body look certainly doesn’t scream ultra crisp 4K UHD video, but that’s exactly what it offers. I’m not one to get nostalgic for dials and leather textures, so that’s mostly wasted on me. It’s a pretty unassuming camera body that falls right in line with the vintage stylings of Fuji’s recent lineup. The Fuji X-T2 has got it where it really counts, and that’s in image quality. I was certainly wrong to make such a quick judgment.Įdges are well defined even at a tight 600px crop of the UHD 4K image. What could Fuji do in this now very established, digital video world to contend with Sony and their a7 line or Canon, the patron saint of DSLR video? At a time when Panasonic is about to drop the Panasonic GH5, and even Olympus is taking a stab at the video world with the Olympus OM-D E M1 Mark II, I honestly didn’t see Fuji offering much to today’s video shooters. When the idea was floated to me for an article dedicated to the video capabilities of the Fuji X-T2, I have to admit I scoffed. Now, I won’t go so far as to say you should sell off your current video capable DSLR or mirrorless camera this very second and spend the proceeds for a Fuji X-T2 and a long weekend trip across the country, but I will suggest a rental to convince you it’s not as crazy as it might sound. Buying into a new camera system can mean starting over with most every lens and accessory. On top of that, it’s usually an economically-weighted decision. What would it take to get them to turn from the comfort of the known? It’s a tough sell for many. I think of the unwavering loyalty of these individuals each time I see a new contender in the video category.
They have memorized the spec sheets, know every minute curve of every button, and can change settings three menus deep without a peripheral glance of the LCD.
It’s the brand or camera body that calls to them with an immutable Siren’s song. It seems that all the video shooters I know have already chosen their go-to camera system.
