Announced in January 2012, Fuji X-Pro1 is expected to have a successor (the X-Pro2) to be announced in Photokina 2014, in less than one month from now.
I always loved the X-Pro1, it delivers excellent Image Quality, has an excellent handling, and I mainly like that it has an OVF, along the EVF. I always wished for some improvements though from Fuji for its successor. The X-T1 features couldn’t fulfil my needs. Here is my wishlist for the upcoming X-Pro2 :
- – 1/8000s shutter (some rumours are talking about a 1/32,000s shutter)
- – Native ISO in RAW to be 100-12800 (expandable to 50-100400)
- – Advanced Hybrid View Finder to remain on the left side of the cam, unlike that of the X-T1
- – Faster AF with phase detection covering a larger area than that in the X-T1
- – 18 to 24MP sensor
- – Larger Buffer
- – More advanced Bracketing features
- – More advanced Multi exposure features (at least 5 frames)
- – Tilt screen, could be very useful for low angle and candid photography
- – Advanced Wifi features
- – Higher Flash Sync Speed
- – Advanced Wireless Flash features (similar to Nikon CLS)
- – Advanced Video recording features with Full Manual controls
- – Live Bulb View
- – Same Size of the XPro1
- – Weather sealed body
Did I miss something we, Fuji X Lovers, want ?
Well, the whole specs of the new X-Pro2 will be revealed hopefully next month … Let’s see if Fuji will make it right this time …
If at least wishlists 1 and 2 are not included, I will NOT upgrade …

I’m on the fence waiting for the x-pro2, if it does not show up soon I will move to XT-1, not a bad move, but would love to stay with the x-pro set-up…
I would also have a better and faster to work with manual focus setup on the x-pro2.

2 not important to me as I do not shot raw but overall your list is perfect, as a xpro1 owner this should be my next camera
