I read somewhere quite awhile ago that the new Fujifilm X-T3 is made in China.
It would not surprise me.

I find the whole point of the X-T2 is to NOT USE the menu system. Anything I need to change is on the outsides of the camera. I used the menu system to set up the external controls the way I wanted them, and have rarely used it since.

The new Fuji makes me wish I had not bought my X-T2 and waited for this new sweet thing! Improved in all the right places and nothing sacrificed. Faster, bigger, more detailed and more accurate everything, with a touch screen thrown in. Continuous fire up to 30fps, new processor, new EVF. Can't wait for some Hog to get one and make me even more envious!
So, sell or trade your X-T2 and get the X-T3 but wait until it becomes readily available. I have the X-T1 which got me into mirrorless and just recently upgraded to the X-T2 in "like new" condition at a great price. I figure in about a year I will probably upgrade to the X-T3.

I agree. Lots to love about the X-T2. I will eventually get the X-T3 all in good time.

Nice camera. I hope Fuji still make it in Japan like the XT-2.
Nope. Made in China.

Are you sure? Not that I don't believe you but it does surprise me.

The best advice. All of these cameras will take great pictures. Buying the latest and greatest does not mean that you will take better pictures because you have the latest bells and whistles.
Who said it does?

Absolutely. Well documented including right on the camera body.

Thank you both very much for the information which is hard to find by searching the web.

Thanks. This information is hard to find using Google.

Who cares what hands made it or where? The only thing that counts is what kind of quality control is imposed, and Fuji is in charge of that!

Good point. I really like those mechanical external dials on the top of the body. That is really what sold me on this camera. I set my shutter speed to A, manually select the f/stop, and manually set the ISO. No BBF because I don't know how to set it up. ( But I do use BBF on my Nikon D750.) And because I have cataracts in both eyes, I let the camera do the focusing (green dot when in focus).

Yup, they have hidden the Made in China behind the LCD apparently. It is not actually available until September 20th. I have been tempted to jump to Mirrorless for some time and find Fuji the most attractive proposition. Love the idea of not having to dive into menus all the time, or at least, cutting it down to a minimum. As always it is all about making a decision X-T20, or now the X-T3. the other alternative is to wait for the X-T30 but you could wait forever, there will always be something new just around the corner. I also like the way that Fuji seem to listen to their customers, something that is not quite so apparent with some of the other brand names.
