It is a new single-lens reflex "camera conscious style" premium camera, a successor of the X-T1. Receiving its loved style and compactness, it features the advanced APS-C X-Trans CMOS III sensor and X-Processor Pro. Because of the high-speed operation including AF and shooting interval, high-definition video recording and a Boost Mode taking eleven frames per second with the new Vertical Power Booster Grip, the total performance was improved. Additionally, the worldwide first three-direction tilting display with a slim / simple body, the focus lever with selectable focus points, and a more comfortable grip when a large lens is mounted, achieved great operability.
