I made a personal trip to Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina recently during the Chinese New Year Break
\nThanks to Fujifilm Singapore, I managed to use the Xpro2 during the trip<\/p>\n

Not exactly a review of the xpro2
\nBut just sharing my experiences and images taken with the camera<\/p>\n

I have to admit, I did not really like its predecessor, xpro1. So I was not really looking forward to the xpro2, especially since I am so happy with the xt1
\nBut i have to say that I am very impressed with the xpro2 during this trip
\ni loved it so much that most of my images taken during the trip was with the xpro2.. rather than my xt1
\nAnd I did not need any DSLR at all..<\/p>\n

At first glance, the camera looks and feels great.
\nhave always loved Fuji\u2019s design
\n $\"\"$ <\/p>\n

And the camera comes with a
\n24 MP X-Trans CMOS III Sensor
\n273 Autofocus points
\niso 200 to 12800, expandable to 100-51200
\n1\/8000 sec maximum shutter speed and 1\/250 sec flash sync
\nnew Acros black and white film simulation<\/p>\n

Much has been said about the focussing issue of the Fuji cameras
\nBut I am happy to say that its no longer a problem with the Xpro2
\nFocussing is pretty good, even in low light conditions.
\nUsing the camera in the streets of Mostar, Sarajevo, Zagreb, Dubrovnik, Split and Ljubljana is a breeze<\/p>\n

I love the fact that they have also included a dual SD Card slot
\nJust like any professional DSLRs
\nSo I can either do a mirrored backup, write raws to 1 card, and jpgs to another or just
\nchoose to write sequential<\/p>\n

As with the Xt1, the camera comes with wifi as well
\nWhich means that I can transmit images or control it remotely with my Phone.
\nPerfect for holidays or for work<\/p>\n

The camera comes with a new Acrosfilm simulation which I really liked.
\nThe look and feel of the black and white is fantastic..<\/p>\n

Also at ISO 12800, the image is still usable with nice grains.<\/p>\n

Image below is taken with iso 12800 + acrosfilm simulation<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/p>\n

During the trip, I was very happy to be just using the Xpro2 and Xt1
\nAnd for this post, all images are taken with the XPro2 + the acrosfilm simulation + 56mm apd
\nImages here have been slightly edited for contrast in Lightroom.<\/p>\n

Is there anything that I had wanted in the Xpro2 ?
\nWell.. maybe a flip screen..
\nHaving used the xt1 for quite a while, i really enjoyed the flexibility of shooting with a flip
\nscreen.. so maybe thats something I missed with the Xpro2
\nBut nonetheless, this is a great camera for my work and travel and street photography<\/p>\n

Might do another post with coloured photos and perhaps more images from the cities
\nof Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina
\nThese are very beautiful cities, and I would really like to be back soon<\/p>\n
