Fujifilm has announced some very interesting new accessories to go alongside its freshly unveiled X-T2 mirror-less 'X' system camera.

These include a new flash - in the EF-X500 - and the VPB-XT2 Vertical Power Booster grip for photographers. The grip is not just about a comfortable hold and increased battery life, but actually increase the performance of the camera to which it is attached, according to Fuji.

For example, with the grip in 'boost' mode, photographers can go from shooting at 8fps to 11fps. It also holds an additional two batteries though, which, in tandem with a third battery in the camera itself, extends power duration to the equivalent of 1,000 shots. The grip can be fully charged and ready to go in two hours, whilst it also provides the ability to record up to 30 minutes of 4K video footage, for those recording with the new SLR-styled X-T2.

The Fujifilm EF-X500 shoe mount flash, however, is suited for the X-T1, X-T2 and X-Pro2, and is, like those cameras, weather and dust resistant. It offers a Guide Number of 50 and wireless flash, with four communication channels to choose from.
