I emphasized the shortfalls for me were the lack of exposure tools in video (histogram, zebras, etc.) to which he was very acknowledging
They must add two tunable zebras (low and high) and colors histogram. Plus I also want to see false colors function.
Fujifilm is still not fully into video, still much focus is on still crowd.
I will also mention that I spoke with Billy at the Fuji booth at PhotoPlus (NYC) last Friday and he asked how the XT-2 has changed my work. Obviously I talked with him about video and being "almost" there.
I emphasized the shortfalls for me were the lack of exposure tools in video (histogram, zebras, etc.) to which he was very acknowledging - "That's a priority for me too." I also mentioned the desire for internal FLog - "We are hearing that from everyone..." He will be in Tokyo next month and said he would be bringing two months of feedback with him. His tone was appreciative and optimistic. It was clear to me that they don't feel at all complete with camera's video as it currently stands.
We'll see if there is anything interesting with tomorrow's rumored firmware update. But I would be surprised if anything substantial for video will come then. But maybe...
First experiment to intercut the XT-2 with my C100mkII. I had hoped to have the XT-2 as a companion in this way and I'm pretty happy about it already.
Camera settings in the video and more info in the description. Short report is that I used Wide DR and ProNegStd dialed down. I shot the XT-2 in 4K.
I didn't use my ColorChecker Passport. To set exposure and white balance on both cameras, I merely looked at the two screens (man - amazing how much better the C100mkII screen is vs mkI) and then went into the XT-2's custom WB to take out a bit of green that I saw on the XT-2's screen compared to the C100. Once in Final Cut, I made separate exposure adjustments but no further color adjustments to either camera other than take an almost equal amounts of red out of the mids. I'm pleased it was that easy.
One thing I noticed tho is that the C100 seemed to have more information to push around in the file. If I needed to be more aggressive, the C100's internal AVCHD seemed more robust. The XT-2 wanted to crush blacks with less adjustment.
I'm a CLog person mostly and curious about FLog to compare. No desire to dump another $850-$1200 on a 4K recorder just now, nor would I want the additional bulk considering how I want to use the XT-2 - b-cam, small spaces, etc. Hoping on FLog internal.
The XT-2 is my primary stills camera. I've been shooting with Fuji for stills since the XT-1 came out - sony shooter previously. I've been using C100's since moving on from the GH4.

GOLD 86%. Seems well deserved. And with Fuji, you can count on 2-3 years of firmware updates. Pretty safe bet that they will fix some of the flaws described in the review.

Fuji X-T2 vs Nikon D5
Another review
Fujifilm X-T2 delivers excellent image quality, with high speed focus, and excellent noise performance. Every new release from Fujifilm gets better, and the X-T2 certainly delivers great results.

Interesting - perhaps getting less limited?
It seams all good news. Except that the X-T2 will never be stabilized on it's fifth axe, the roll. Is too bad. :(
Unless that a special feature in the firmware can make a roll stabilisation via software cropping in the image...???
In an interview Fuji said the X-T2 could get an “F-log” feature via future firmware update.
Pampuri's footage - in FCPX, I was able to pull down the highlights so that the roll-off seemed less harsh, but no detail recovered. Even after bringing the blacks down and applying a curve, shadows remained quite noisy.
This is a fairly extreme dr scene but I am struck by the amount of shadow noise at base ISO. My C100 is my baseline.
Curious what others think.
@berndimax hmmmm - interesting.
