Well, the X-T3 is still a step higher, but both the X-T2 and the X-T1 have become classics I think, good and reliable.

Good morning Mark,Well this is a scoop or what do you call it?
To be honest, I wrote this article a few weeks ago, right after buying the X-H1,
and when it was clear I was going to make the switch from Pentax to Fuji.
So a lot has been thought and done, the X-T20 is probably the best camera Fuji has ever made, you thought so too.
For me there’s only one problem, that’s the smaller EVF – I think we’ve talked about that before.
So the most logical choice was an X-T2.
I found one, bought it, but before the guy sent it to me, it turned out the EVF had stopped working,
I got the money back, and the camera was sent to Fuji for repair. If it comes back I will buy it again.
So here you know what the camera is going to be – not an X Pro 🙂
I think the X-T2 is a worthy camera, and excellent as backup for the X-H1.
The lenses, yes, the XC 15-45 is probably the best Fuji lens ever made – also according to Ken Rockwell,
and if he says so, it’s probably better than any Nikon lens ever made 🙂
I think this is actually true, Fuji made a top lens here, but it’s not so much because they aren’t weather sealed,
but i hate the electric zoom !!! – don’t you ?
The XC 16-50 would probably be a better choice for me – although I would have preferred a weather sealed lens – I’m not sure yet.
I haven’t had the XC 50-230 for a long time myself, but as I wrote, bought it at a time when I was not yet “converted” 🙂
It’s a top-notch lens – everyone should buy one – but the XF18-135 & XF 70-300 I bought later cover the same area and more.
If you know someone who is selling an XF16-55 WR or XF 16-80 WR for a hundred or two, give me a call!
In other words – this could take a while I think.
