This is a big deal for video shooters with the X-T2

•Addition of F-log SD card recording
The upgrade allows users to record F-log movie data into their SD card.

•Addition of 1080/120P high-speed video mode
The upgrade allows users to shoot 1080/120P high-speed video (1/2, 1/4 and 1/5 speed slow motion), ideal for recording spectacular slow-motion footage

This one is for Alan

•Enhanced Phase Detection AF
Latest updates to the AF algorithm provide the following performance enhancements:

1: The low-light limit for phase detection autofocus has been improved by approximately 1.5 stops from 0.5EV to -1.0EV, raising the precision and speed of autofocus in low-light environments.

2: The range at minimum aperture has been expanded from F8 to F11. For example, even when using the XF100-400mmF4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR with the teleconverter XF2X TC WR, phase
detection autofocus can now be used.

3: Major improvements have been made to the AF-C performance while operating the zoom, which provides major benefits when shooting sports and other scenarios in which the subjects moves unpredictably.

4: Finely-detailed surface textures of wild birds and wild animals can now be captured at high speed and with high precision as a result of improvement in phase detection autofocus.

And for us X-PRO2 users also, liking this one as it's just in time for the wedding season here. Love how Fuji continually does this upgrading, it's great to see.

1080/120 is nice to finally have in a Fuji camera also, even if it's not in the X-PRO2 but I don't use that for video so I don't really care there. F-Log to the SD card is great, I do wish it was 10Bit 400Mbps (external) but TBH the output is nice at 100Mpbs anyway and more than most will need point to point.

Sweet, I was hoping they'd give us that anti-flicker mode :) That'll be useful in the gyms I often shoot in.

Almost seems they've just given X-t2 shooters partial X-H1 firmware!!

I'm really curious what Fuji will need to do for a future X-t3 to make it an enticing upgrade.

I'm definitely pleased to hear that Fuji is providing us new firmware.

56mm is more aggressive in acquiring AF. Almost chatters. More responsive but not as refined as it sounded 2 firmware's ago.

Welcoming update but noticeably more jumpy. No complaints though.

My 35 1.4 is focusing more accurately now. And can track both of my kids really well now. I'm very impressed actually.

Maybe your kids are just slower now?
