Just the latest stuff dumped from the memory card ;-)

Sure, there are even cats and dogs to be photographed (just kidding). But think a bit out of the box. Sometimes things can be seen in a different way. You don't need to take shots of people walking on the street make to call it a "street shot". In the shot above I just photographed the shadow of a man walking down the steps. So there is no real person in the shot, but the shadow tells a story that looks even more interesting. This is just one example of how you can play with your with a scene. The same thing here. Lines, strong contrast and a cyclist riding upwards. The real scene was not that dramatic. And sometime a backyard can help us seeing mankind from a philosophical standpoint ;-) Try to think a bit out of the box...or just forget what your have learned! It is hard to unlearn things but after a while your photographic style (composition, exposure, lens etc.) will become daily routine. And then you might eventually miss a great shot ...

A good question that can't be answered in one sentence. Is this your first Fuji camera? Then buy it if you have the money. If you don't need the updated auto-focus system and the extra pixels your can also go with the XT-1 or XT-10. You are coming from the XT-1 There is only the auto-focus and the extra pixels. The higher frame rate and better video can be a game-changer for some people. But the display of the older models is good enough, trust me! You are looking for a mirror-less for shooting moving subjects (sports etc.) The new XT-2 is great for you. With the optional battery grip it has more juice for higher frame rates. If you can trust the most reviews out there the performance is good enough for most occasions. If you're a professional sports photographer you still should go with a DSLR. No mirror-less camera can beat this system today. Do I need the latest camera body from Fuji? Not really. But this is not the strategy....
