Ouch. Reviews don’t get much worse than starting with “The GoPro Karma is unquestionably, inarguably, unarguably, without a doubt, the worst drone I have ever flown. ” And it only went downhill from there… (Warning: Strong language).
We've finally finished our Fujifilm X-T2 review. Overall, it's a fantastic camera. It offers wonderful image quality and perhaps the best reliability of any Fujifilm camera we've tested. We've been told that it was designed to be a workhorse, and for the most part it really is.
