Fuji X-Pro2 Weather Sealing & Shutter Sound
Here are the top five questions I've had since I put my initial Fuji X-Pro2 Review live back in January:
How do I become an X-Photographer and get free stuff?
What is the dynamic range like? (I've answered that to a certain extent with my recent webcast about the X-Pro2 and Lightroom)
Is the camera water proof?
Is the Auto Focus better than an X-T1?
What does the electronic shutter sound like?
Fuji X-Pro2 Shutter Sound
I thought #5 was an interesting question. Its cropped up time and time again.
Jonas Rask described the sound (in his epic X-Pro2 Review) as:
The best way for me to describe the sound is if you imagine a Ninja sword slicing through a ripe watermelon! It’s truly an addictive sound. Plus it’s very muted. It’s very very silent. ~ Jonas Rask
And that is pretty much what it does sound like.
I thought I'd make a little sound clip for you though. If you haven't got the X-Pro2 yet, and are intrigued by the mechanical shutter sound, well, here you go......
Fuji X-Pro2 Weather Sealing
I feel very confidently placed to make commentary on this.
Yes. Yes and Yes. The X-Pro2 performs admirably in torrential rain. Consistently.
How do I know this? Because its been like that here in the UK since October :-)
