Thanks, that is really informative feedback.The XPro2 is certainly a capable camera. It's the back-up camera in my studio to the Canon 5Dmk3. If the Canon goes down, I have no worries using the XPro2 (or the XE2 for that matter). I think the color from the XPro2 is just about as good as that of the XE1, which is a bit better than the XE2.
My bitch is Fuji removed a couple of very good, simple ways of setting ISO manually that were in previous cameras. Yes, the Auto ISO functions are really very good. But it's not the same. That said, I need to spend more time using the "misomatic" Auto-ISO to give me reasonable manual control. Another work-around.
I will have to see the XT2 when it comes out. The inclusion of dual cards is important to me. I like the form factor of the XE2 more than the XT1/2 bodies.
Again, if Fuji can squeeze dual card slots into the XE3, keep the pop-up flash, add the new or newer sensor and not add more than a tiny bit to the size of the camera, they have a real winner. (Tilting lcd would be nice too, but I can live without it.) I've found I don't use the hybrid viewfinder of the XPro2 that much so wouldn't miss it.
I must say that I also did not use the HVF of my XPro1 too much and preferred the EVF of the XE2 instead of that.
The one thing that threw me finally out of the Fuji X system (I also shot the XT1 for a year or so) was the really inferior AF compared to cameras like the Olympus EM1. But it seems that this restriction has gone now with the XPro2 and even more so the XT2, which means the XT2 should become my preferred main photographic tool pretty easily.
And it definitely has the superior sensor even to the upcoming EM1mII, although this camera is not even announced nor is known how it will really look like. But IQ wise I always already preferred any Fuji X sensor compared to any m43 sensor and I am pretty confident that this will stay like that or the Fuji IQ is even increased further over m43.
Time will tell but I am very confident for what the XT2 will bring and what the XPro2 already delivers.
