How are you finding the new X-Pro2 Colin ?
(I know I'm not Colin!)
Yes X-Pro1 on steroids, but there's a few things better about the XP1!
The contents of the OVF are a lot more legible, the AFL button is nicer to use and find by feel, the SS dial feels stiffer on the XP1 too
The IQ of the XP2 is technically another level though - a LOT more shadow data, IMO the files aren't as "filmic" as the XP1, but they're not as digital as the XT1 either.
There's more contrast, and the colours are deeper. I've found AWB very good (others have b**ched about it - so buyer beware I guess!) I didn't like AWB on the XT1 so much, but WB is SO much shot, taste, screen, light, PP SW etc... The files have a noise to them (I turn off all NR beneath about ISO1600 in post) that's pleasant and I don't mind at all. It's digital noise (well dur Adam) but it looks nice. The bigger files are more handy that I thought they'd be for cropping!
Acros is excellent IMO - I don't do mono PP anymore, if it's not good enough SOOC, then the acros jpg and a bit of a tweak in post and it's done - again YMMV!!)
Obviously the AF, speed of operation, card write speeds etcetc are far, far better!
Overall the build of the body is a bit better it feels more solid, but there's a couple of annoyances (IMO) to the XP2, the AFL button and the ever wandering dioptre wheel to name 2!
There's also a coupe of bugs that can be worked around, but need fixing IMO... the histogram in the ERF mode is ONLY metering for the scene in the ERF patch (according to Rico) and if you manually change the OVF magnification, then it no longer automatically changes when you fit a lens requiring the other magnification (eg the 18) - the work around for this is too hot swap the lens and then it works again. I'm not convinced everyone's does this, but mine does and I'm not alone! Also a factory reset fixes it - but once you've got all that menu stuff set up, you'll not in be hurry to throw all that work away!
The ERF and red focus peaking and acros keep me happy!
I only really use it in MF mode... but the OVF and the zone AF setting is very useful. The tracking AF worked fairly well with my 3 year old kid too!
Best of all (maybe) is that it feels like a X-Pro1, I mean it's about the same on a day to day basis, so if you're a big XP1 fan (say perhaps your website features a 26000+ word XP1 review for example
) then it's like a more mature and grown up version of the camera you love!
I'm probably singing to the choir here in the XP2 thread, but overall I'm seriously impressed...
