Just seen the latest firmware for xt-2
Af tracking up to twice as quick and for subjects up to 50% smaller. Impressed!

They’re very similar cameras apart from their ergonomics. Rangefinder (with hybrid viewfinder) vs more conventional layout. The XT-2 has a battery grip which boosts performance, I don’t think the Xpro does.

My head would go with X-T2 but my heart would go with X-Pro2.
The X-T2 arguably can do more, it has the grip to boost its refresh rates, triple its battery size, and more DSLR esq shooting experience if that's what you are used to. It also has a flip screen.

The flip screen on the X-T2 is a real gem, especially now it goes in both axis.

The XT2 is a pretty effortless transition if you’re coming from an SLR, just smaller and with a few cool features.

Hi guys. Bought a fairly cheap manual Prime lens for my sister for Christmas for her Xt-1 - came with an adaptor so it would fit. Annoyingly though the camera won't fire with the lens attached. In guessing it's something to do with the camera not talking to the lens... Hoping someone might know if there's a setting in camera to ignore the 'missing' lens?
Thanks
Thanks

Download the manual. I'm sure there's something in there about non-cpu lenses etc

Ah fantastic, thank you!

XT-2 for me unless you really want the hybrid VF.
Go and physically try both instead of guessing.
Only you can decide which one fits your needs better. The X-T2 is a more overall technically capable camera, and the OVF is imo unnecessary.

The H1 is supposed to be available mid February according to Fuji Rumours . I've no idea as to the cost.

Is this the IBIS cropped mirror less in X mount?

Tasty.
(I can't bring myself to sell my Fuji gear for some reason…I really want the A7R3 as well)

Try both in the flesh, I owned both and kept the X-Pro2 purely because I just enjoyed using it more.
From a technical point of view the X-T2 is a better camera in pretty much every way but there is something about the X-Pro2 that makes it a joy to use especially with the shorter primes (up to the 56mm). If you are going to shoot with either of the longer pro zooms then I'd go for the X-T2 as neither of those lenses feels that balanced on the X-Pro2.
Aside from that, just get whichever you can get a better deal on
Disclaimer - I recently sold up my Fuji gear and "downsized" to using a Leica Q and upgraded my missus' setup to a Nikon D500 which I'll borrow every so often. Fuji glass is extraordinary but the AF performance is still lagging behind and my wife just couldn't get on with them.
