hey everybody it's Chris walk to the verge and we're checking out the brand-new Fuji XT - now for the better part of two years I've used the xt-1 as my everyday camera it's my favorite camera ever because Fugees done a great job bringing it new features better autofocus and stuff like that but now the time has come for a brand new model entirely now this is not our full review it's more so first to look at what's new and it's not a big reinvention of what the xt-1 was but it's a lot of small changes that add up to something pretty fantastic so the two cameras look super similar the xc2 is a bit heavier a bit larger there are a few differences on the dials and around back but for the most part they're pretty much identical so probably the biggest change is the rear display now not only does it go up and down but it actually goes out to the side so you can make some tighter shots via video or photos so it's pretty handy I wish it moved a little bit more than it does they went about half way but it's a nice change should be pretty useful in certain circumstances so there's some other cool changes - there are two SD card slots versus one on the old model and the 3.5 millimeter mic jack as well so as opposed to using the buttons on bottom the focus the XD - now use is this really nice joystick which is really easy to control and a lot better than the old method so the XT 2 is a 24 megapixel sensor the XT 1 at 16 and those 8 megapixels make a big difference your photos are sharper and you've got more room to crop and edit and just kind of mess around with them so Fugees also pumped up ISO up to 12,000 800 the xt-1 stopped out at 6400 so you've got more flexibility for low light and dark photos there are more autofocus points you can choose 91 or 325 which is pretty crazy so it's super easy to just dial in on something to focus on in your shop so the XT 2 also gets 4k video for the first time which is nice to have even though foody's not really known for video quality necessarily so if you buy the XT 2 you should probably consider this new battery grip as well it'll hold three batteries counting the one inside the camera so you'll be set for days and days on a charge and there's a boost mode that when you turn it on you can take 11 shots per second which is pretty nice for sports and action scenes so what all these changes mean for picture quality well the xt-1 was great it's a bit too soon to really speak for the xt - again this is pre-production not the final version so things could change but so far photos are sharp detailed colorful and they look great straight out of camera - so there's not much post-processing necessary Fuji says the xt2 is coming soon around the same price as the xt-1 so look for it later on this year for more on tech cameras and everything else check out our channel at youtube.com slash the verge and there's 3.5 million millimeter and unlike inputs and you a date make check us out at check us out on the verb
