Tony Northrup continues his X-T2 coverage on Twitter. This time he compared the Fujifilm X-T2 with the Sony A7rII and Nikon D810 dynamic range/shadow recovery capabilities.

The Nikon D810 is the winner, but Tony Northrup was “shocked” when he realized that the APS-C Fuji X-T2 performed better then the Sony A7rII. See his Tweet here.

UPDATE: As Rico said in the comments:

“Tony was shooting the T2 at ISO 100, giving it a head-start of 1 EV. […] OTOH, the shutter speed of the T2 is faster than the 7rII. Another big no-no […].

DR testing is all about setting the different cameras to identical ISO/F/SS levels under a calibrated light source, then pushing the underexposed results up to normalized brightness levels with a RAW converter. THEN compare noise and artifacts, and make sure that your RAW converter doesn’t try to be too “smart” by applying different hidden input profiles.”

Oh, and after the critics regarding his recent X-T2 Vs. Canon 5DS-R comparison (where the X-T2 turned out to be sharper), he repeated the test in studio, no backlight, tripod, whatever… whatever he did, the images of the X-T2 (scaled to 50MP) are always sharper. Tweet here.

Fuji X-T2 Coverage

• In their latest Video here, the Fuji Guys talk about the various Fuji Flash options you have for the Fujifilm X-T2. All nice and good, but as you know, and as also written in Rico’s First Look Review, the Fujifilm X-T2 does not work with the Nissin i40 in TTL mode. I wish Fuji and Nissin would rapidly look for a solution in form of a firmware fix.
• A fellow FR contributor walked through the Fujifilm Studio Showroom and made a series of videos, focussing on the Fuji X-T2: Presenting the Studio / Entering the Studio / X-T1 and X-T2 side by side / Buttons Compared – X-T2 buttons too recessed? / The Vertical Grip Ergonimics + Eyecup / Side Doors / Tilt Screen / GUI / Firmware Check / Focus Modes / AF-custom settings / A few last shots in Zone AF /
