X-S20

Was disappointed by every X100 they owned but loves their X-S20 for stills and video.

“But OMG.. I love this camera.”

Sent their X-S20 back twice in a year for the hot shoe falling out.

“just sent back xs20 for the second time in last 12 months for hotshoe falling out.”

After four years of Sony, felt their work looked like everyone else's; the X-S20 has reignited their creativity.

“I have been working with Sony cameras for four years. Everything was tired, including the fact that everyone's photos and videos look the same. I bought the XS-20”

Bought it for travel instead of their full-frame and medium-format kits; the smaller, lighter lenses, grip, battery life and film simulations make it great for that.

“I bought this camera primarily for travel instead of lugging around my full frame or medium format systems and it’s great”

Their new unit's screen flickered with green lines and purple flashes, so it went back to the shop.

“Just got mine yesterday. Screen is flickering with some green lines and purple flashes on the LCD every now and then. Going back to the shop”

Upgraded from an X-T3 for video and finds it wonderful so far; glad they didn't need to pay for an X-H2S.

“Got it as an upgrade to my X-T3 for video. It's a wonderful camera so far. I was worried about having to cough up extra change for the XH2s”

Two weeks in and already used for paid work; for documentary-style shoots they prefer it over their Canon R5, making it a great addition to their kit.

“I've had the X-S20 for two weeks and have used it for some paid work and I am really happy with my choice.”

Expected the viewfinder to be poor after reviews, but coming from the X-H1 finds it better than expected and has no problem using it.

“I just got mine. EVF seems to get some negative comments from reviewers. I was expecting something worse than I got, especially since I'm used to the H1 EVF.”

Having used both, finds the Canon R7 far better for autofocus, subject tracking and high-ISO, though the Fujifilm has the edge elsewhere.

“I got the chance to use canon R7 and this camera... The major difference is canon R7 completely distroy it in terms of autofocus and subject tracking”

Chose the X-S20 for its grip two years ago and loves it; not big with small primes.

“X-S20 owner here. Tried the X-T30 II in store when I purchased it two years ago and found that the grip of the X-S20 pulled me over het line.”

Loves their X-S20: small body, gorgeous photos and a comfy grip with a pancake.

“I love mine to death, body is so small and photos are gorgeous”

Finds the X-S20 solid but a noticeable step down in premium feel from their X-T3 and X100V.

“there's a noticeable drop in build quality/premium feel.”

Sold their X-S20 because they couldn't trust its AF even when focus confirmed.

“Sold my x-h2s and x-s20 and all my lenses. Just couldn't trust it even when focus was confirmed.”

Loves their X-S20 for IBIS and battery but finds the 15-45 kit lens poor.

“Try looking into the X-S20. I own it, and I love it.”

Loves their X-S20 with the XF16-50 for battery, IBIS and 26MP.

“I got the XF16-50 kit lens with my X-S20 and I love it.”

Loves their X-S20: perfect size, compact yet substantial, great pictures, and never regretted it.

“I, for one, love my x-s20.”

Moved from years on the X-S10 to the X-S20, whose battery is game changing for one-handed travel.

“Moved to the xs20 and my lord the battery life is game changing.”

Calls the X-S20 a great hybrid with 7-stop IBIS, a bigger grip and focusing as fast as the X-H2S; their only issue was overheating.

“the same X-Processor as the X-H2 and X-H2S so upon testing the focusing is just as fast. Bigger grip too.”

Got X-S20 overheating warnings after 5 minutes of 6.2K indoors on an old UHS-I card; a UHS-II V60 card fixed it for 40-minute recordings.

“I was getting overheating warnings after 5 minutes of shooting indoors in 6.2K, and it would shut down after 15-20 mins.”

A wedding videographer finds X-S20 battery life great, no recording limit and decent AF, but it overheated at 1080p 120fps in 38C heat.

“Battery life is great. I have 3 batteries but for weddings, I haven't made it past 2.”

Finds X-S20 autofocus very good for photos; chose it over the a6700 for film simulations and photo quality.

“In my opinion, the XS20 has very good autofocus for photos.”

Sold their X-T4 for the X-S20 with zero regrets; perfect grip and a beast at video for its size.

“I sold my XT4 for the X-S20. I have zero regrets. The grip fits my hand perfectly”

Their X-S20 performs really well, especially for video, with an easy grip; lack of weather sealing kept it home at times.

“I have a X-S20 and found it performs really well, especially for video.”

Sold their a6700 for the X-S20: the Sony's AF is much better, but the X-S20 is far more fun with film sims.

“I just sold my a6700 for the X-S20 and can fully co-sign everything you said. The AF on the a6700 is exceptionally better.”

Their X-S20 with the Sigma 18-50 misses focus slightly in 3-5% of bright, stationary AF-S shots, unlike their old Panasonic.

“in maybe about 3-5% of cases the focus is clearly off by some amount.”

Sold their Lumix S5 for a smaller X-S20 and kind of regrets it because of focus misses and less useful film sims.

“I sold my S5 for the X-S20 in order to get a more compact setup, and honestly kinda regret it.”

Moved from the X-T4 to the X-S20: faster photo/video switching, better AF, smaller and lighter; only misses the X-T4's EVF.

“Autofocus is better on the X-S20 for both photo and video”

Chose the X-S20 for its packable size and deep grip, and its sensor is leaps beyond their Rebel T7.

“I couldn’t be happier with my choice!”

A former concert pro bought the X-S20 as a small hybrid and has had more fun than in years with Canon.

“I have been loving it so far and had more fun with Fuji in the last couple months than I had in the last couple years with Canon.”

Has never found overheating to be an issue on their X-S20.

“I have the x-s20 & I never experienced that "overheating" was an issue.”

Moved from Sony and loves their X-S20.

“My first pick up was the XS20 . The camera is great I love it .”

Chose the X-S20 over the X-T30 II because it fits their hand perfectly, like an extension of their arm.

“The X-S20 truly feels like an extension of my arm.”

Loves their X-S20 but notes it has only four custom setting slots.

“I love my x-s20 but still want to mention that it only has 4 custom settings slots.”

Loves the X-S20's grip, which they can hold all day, and its battery that lasts more than a day.

“I fucking love it so much, the grip is amazing!!! I can hold it all day without getting any cramps.”

Their X-S20 overheated as a facecam for over a year until they switched to 30fps.

“I have been using my X-S20 as a facecam via CamLink and have been struggling with overheating for over a year.”

Added the X-S20 to an X-T30 and loves its features and bigger grip, with no regrets.

“the new features of the XS20 and bigger grip is great to have and I know I won’t need to upgrade anytime in the near future.”

Their X-S20 had no overheating in a full day of stills in 32C Athens heat.

“Was in Athens for a full day of street photography in 32c heat yesterday and didn't have any overheating issues at all.”

Finds X-S20 AF a noticeable downgrade from the a6400, but loves the SOOC output.

“Came from Sony A6400 to Fuji X-S20. Not gonna lie, the AF was a noticeable downgrade”

Loves their X-S20 but finds its autofocus unacceptably lacking and is considering Sony.

“I am an owner of a FujiFilm X-S20 and genuinely love the camera, but I’m finding the autofocus performance to be unacceptably lacking”

Selling their X-S20 over unreliable AF-C and constant random audio static in video despite replacing parts.

“I've had constant audio issues with the X-S20 when shooting video - random sections of loud static that ruin my shots.”

Chose the X-S20 over the X-T50 and loves the grip, battery life and fully articulating screen.

“I went with the xs20 and haven't looked back! It's absolutely amazing.”

Loves the X-S20 for photo and video, though it sometimes overheats outdoors.

“It does overheat sometimes when I’m outdoor shooting”

Finds the X-S20 with the XF 33mm light and perfect in hand for travel.

“combined with X-S20, it's lighter and fits perfectly in my hand. perfect for travel”

Loves both the X-S20, their versatile pro body, and the X100VI as the fun travel option.

“Got both. Love both. Xs20 is my processional versatile one.”

Loved the X-S20's form factor and battery, and its swivel screen for low and high portrait shots.

“I loved the XS20 so much from a form factor and battery standpoint.”

Trading in their X-S20 because it overheated during still photography.

“Coming from an X-S20 that I’m trading in due to overheating during still photography.”

Their X-S20 died after water spilled on it and they want to replace it with the same model.

“My xs20 died last week (cat knocked a bottle of water into it) and I’m gutted.”

Switched from the A7C to the X-S20 because Sony JPEGs were dull and the Sony got bulky with lenses.

“I recently switched from the A7C to X-S20 because of the dull SOOC Jpeg from Sony.”

Finds the X-S20's 4K video quality amazing, using 35mm and 23mm f/2 primes.

“The video quality is amazing, i record in 4k and I really like the results.”

Very happy with the X-S20 so far: great pictures, functionality and handling.

“I got the X-S20. I haven’t used it as much as would’ve liked yet, but so far, I’m very happy with it.”

Moved from an a6500 and loves the X-S20: solid in hand, great SOOC recipes and very good AF with newer lenses.

“I love love love my X-S20 and feel like it's an amazing hybrid camera that does everything I need it to and more.”

Finds X-S20 photos beautiful with great colours, and IBIS lets them shoot reliably at 1/6s.

“IBIS is amazing and I can easily and reliably capture shots at 1/6 shutter speed thanks to it.”

Sold their A7 II for the X-S20 and finds it carefree to travel with for nice images with little effort.

“About the Fuji, I like how carefree to travel with it. Minimum effort to get nice images.”

Uses their X-S20 for its IBIS, fast processor and video when they need good output.

“I have a X-S20 because of IBIS, fast processor, video capabilities, using it when I need good outputs”

Finds their X-S20 great, though its stabilisation is weaker than a phone's for video.

“I have xs20 and it's great. Doesn't do much for image stabilization compared to a phone.”

Finds their X-S20 the most boring camera they've owned despite great specs.

“I have the xs20 and it's the most boring camera I've ever had, even with the great specs.”

Switched from Canon to the X-S20 and loves it; SOOC saves hours in Lightroom.

“Took the jump from Canon to Fuji with a x-s20 (Fuji 16-50mm) and I’ve been in love with it.”

Just got an X-S20 after Canon and couldn't be happier.

“Yay I just got an x-s20, too!”

Their X-S20 warns it will overheat even when only shooting stills.

“I have an X-S20 and it likes to tell me it's going to overheat... I'm not even taking video.”

Bought the X-S20 and loves it for the better battery, grip and IBIS, with no regrets.

“bought the XS20 and absolutely love it!”

Calls their X-S20 the best travel camera, light and balanced with the best shots per battery.

“Best travel camera, exellent balance”

Loves the insane video stability of their X-S20 with the 16-80 OIS.

“love it so far with the insane stability when video in XS20.”

Loved their X-S20's image quality and open gate before it broke when dropped.

“when it was still working i loved it. amazing quality pictures, shooting in open gate was nice”

Both X-S20 copies they bought were faulty out of the box.

“Then I bought X-S20 and both copies were broken from the start.”

Swapped their X-S20 for an X-T5 because it showed the overheating icon after about ten minutes, even indoors shooting JPEG stills.

“there was a really persistent overheating issue I was getting, even indoors.”

Their first camera, the X-S20, showed a temperature warning within 35 minutes at a hot car show and later shut off, shooting only stills.

“This weekend I went to a car show and within 35 minutes the temperature warning came on.”

Loves the X-S20 but within a month the eyecup rubber broke, the screen scratched and the dials have play, unlike their X-H1.

“I'm in love with this camera, but I also can't help but notice the build quality is not the best.”

After 1000+ shots in two months their X-S20 looks brand new and feels solid, apart from a light feel.

“The x-s20 is build very solid and doesn't feel cheap.”

Could tell from day one that the X-S20 build is not as solid as their X100F.

“the day i opened the box i could tell the build is not as solid as my x100f”

Happy with X-S20 performance but not its build: play in almost every button, a scratched screen and a loose shutter half-press.

“X-S20 user here coming from Sony a7C. Very happy with the camera performance but not the build quality.”

Their X-S20 chipped around the eyepiece in under a month; happy with image quality but disappointed by the build.

“I just had it under a month and noticed I have a similar “chip”around the eye piece corner.”

Their two-week-old X-S20 already overheated once at Disney, and they are considering returning it.

“I bought an x-s20 two weeks ago and it’s already overheated one time while I was at Disney.”

In six months their X-S20 overheated only once, in 40C heat, and never again after changing a setting.

“I’ve used the xs20 for 6 months now and I’ve only had it overheat once in 40c degree weather.”

Switched from an a7 III to the X-S20 and loves it; smooth transition and a great grip versus other Fujis.

“I switched from the Sony a7iii to the xs20 a month ago and I love it a lot.”

Owned the X-S20 alongside the X-T5 and X100VI and found it the best ergonomically and for video; sold it only over looks.

“Honestly, the X-S20 is the best ergonomic wise.”

Their X-S20 is their favourite camera ever: smooth fast AF, great colours and natural handling; selling their Panasonic gear.

“Autofocus is smooth and fast, colors are great and the handeling is really natural.”

Chose the X-S20 after testing rivals; better in virtually every aspect, fun, portable and light.

“I have the X-S20 with 35mm f2.0; I tested all other cameras on this range”

Loves the X-S20 grip, battery, screen and open gate, but wishes for better build and weather sealing, and it overheats for video in heat.

“It does overheat in hotter climates or summer for video which is tricky if you need to shoot longer clips in a go.”

After almost a year their X-S20 is as it was on day one, though materials feel less premium than the X100F.

“I’ve had it for almost a year now. It is still as it was on day 0. So build quality is great.”

Uses the X-S20 as a smaller second camera to an a7 IV; firmware improved video AF, but its buttons and dials feel cheaper.

“the body of the X-S20 is nice and solid but the buttons and dials feel cheaper and it lacks weather sealing.”

Comparing RAWs, prefers the X-S20's greens to the a7 IV's, which look almost fluorescent.

“I really like how the greens come out of the Fuji, the greens from the Sony look almost fluorescent.”

Chose the X-S20 and later preferred it over an X100VI, mainly for its grip and lens flexibility.

“My advice is to go for the XS20 and a couple lenses”

Finds the X-S20 more comfortable and fun than their Sony bodies with better colour and 6K open gate, though Sony AF and stabilisation are better.

“The X-S20 is more comfortable and more fun to shoot. The color science is superior, IMO”

Loves the X-S20 for stills: amazing grip, an easy PASM dial and stunning SOOC JPEGs.

“I don’t shoot video but I have loved my X-s20 for still photography. The grip is amazing”

Loved the X-S20's IBIS, colour and grip; AF isn't stellar but enough, and their only gripe is the unthreaded shutter button.

“The only “beef” i have with this model of Fuji is the shutter button isn’t like the threaded one found on XT bodies.”

Loves their X-S20 and is genuinely blown away by the quality, with no urge to move to an X-H2S.

“I have the xs-20 and love it!”

Just got the X-S20: best grip and battery life with a preset dial and open gate, but no weather sealing and they'd prefer a tilt screen.

“Best grip (alongside the X-H2/X-H2S). Best battery life.”

Has owned both and now uses an X-T5, but still misses the lighter X-S20 in some situations.

“the xs20 is a great body, lighter, and you will not need anything else.”

Misses their X-S20, calling it a workhorse and the best value in Fujifilm's lineup for hybrid shooters.

“I miss my x-s 20, this camera is a workhorse and probably the best value in Fuji’s line up imo.”

Calls their X-S20 a beast, basically a mini X-H2S.

“I have the xs20 and honestly, it’s a beast, you got basicly a mini XH2S”

Their X-S20 has long battery life, great video, light weight and a swivel LCD they love.

“Battery lasts for a long time, video capabilities are great, very lightweight, and i love that swivel lcd.”

Loves the X-S20 as Fujifilm's most balanced camera and uses it more than their X-H2.

“I love my XS-20. It’s the most balanced camera from Fujifilm. I use it more than my X-H2.”

A pro who also shoots GFX100 II and X-H2 uses the X-S20 for travel work: ISO dial, big battery, solid IBIS, comfy grip.

“it's my favorite value camera of the current gen.”

Bought an X-T5 then an X-S20, and sold the X-T5; the X-S20 is portable, easy and a great street camera.

“I just sold the 5 because the only con I had with the 20 was the 26 vs 40 MP count.”

Chose the X-S20 over the X-T30 III for 100 EUR more and couldn't be happier: double the battery, better display, IBIS.

“It has double the battery life, a better display, UHS-II support, better video features, and IBIS.”

Uses their X-S20 only for photos and finds it a great camera.

“I have a X-S20, I haven't even shot a single video with it yet and use it exclusively for photos lol. It's a great camera”

Upgraded from the X-T30 II to the X-S20 and rates it near the best price/performance in Fujifilm's lineup.

“i just sell my xt30ii to upgrade to xs20. tbh this one offers almost the best p/p in Fujifilm's near high-end lineup.”

Praises X-S20 ergonomics, grip and battery, but its front dial feels cheap next to the X-H2's and it lacks weather resistance.

“Amazing ergonomics for a body of its size. (They *nailed* the grip.) Great battery life. Versatile controls.”

Loves the X-S20 for stills, chosen for its PASM dial, grip and battery; an easy move from a Nikon DSLR.

“I love my X-S20 and use it mostly for stills. I went with it specifically for PASM dials, the ergonomic grip, and longer battery life.”

Sold their X100V and X-T50 for the X-S20 and loves it for photo and video, with no overheating so far.

“Sold my x100v and xt50 to get the xs20 and haven’t looked back.”

Happy with the X-S20 for photos: a grip for one-handed shooting, a flip screen that can be hidden and the newer battery.

“The grip is the main reason can shoot one handed and no fear or dropping it.”

Used the X-S20 for over two years with no issues before moving to an X-E5 for size and style.

“X-S20 is absolutely lovely, I used it for a little over two years.”

Owns both and uses the X-S20 more for its grip, hybrid functionality and IBIS.

“i use XS20 often because of the grip, functionality (specially when using video and photo) also it has IBIS”

After a year of restaurant videos their X-S20 heats up after an hour or two in sun or at 1080p 120fps; otherwise loves it.

“one thing I don’t love about it is how fast it gets heated up.”

A commercial architecture photographer always takes the X-S20 for personal shooting; fun and punches above its weight.

“I always take the X-S20 with me when I shoot for myself”

Reaches for the X-S20 over their X-M5.

“I bought the X-M5 originally and while it's a great camera, I have a much harder time justifying grabbing it over the X-S20”

Missed the X-S20 after selling it and bought it again.

“I missed my X-S20 so I bought it again.”

After the X-T5 and X-H2, calls the X-S20 the best Fuji they had for vlog, photo and video.

“i think xs20 is the best camera I had with Fuji.”

Only complaint about the X-S20 is weight with a zoom; IBIS is good.

“only complaint i have with my xs20 is weight its kinda heavy with my sigma 18-50.”

Uses the lightweight X-S20 more than their X-T4; more comfortable to hold.

“I use it more than my XT4 and is much more comfortable to hold.”

Finds the X-S20's AF usable but unreliable versus Canon.

“I have the xs20 and I think that has bad autofocus.”

Their X-S20 has been great for action sports, with occasional misses.

“My xs20 has been great! Sure I miss shots sometimes”

Returned the X-S20 because it overheated and shut down even shooting bursts.

“I was shooting burst stills and this thing would overheat like crazy and shut down.”

Sold a Sony a7C II for the X-S20 for its form factor and recipes.

“I sold the A7Cii and got the XS20.”

Absolutely loves their X-S20, their first camera.

“The X-S20 was my first camera also and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I absolutely love it!”

Loves their portable X-S20 with no complaints.

“Can’t compare but I love my xs-20; just got into photography and it is portable; no complains.”

Their second-hand X-S20 developed a fault that was costly to repair.

“I bought an xs-20 second hand recently and it has a fault”

Picked the X-S20 over the X-T5 for size and price and sees no serious downsides.

“X-S20 has a smaller resolution, but apart from that, I don't see any serious downsides.”

Finds the X-S20's ergonomics better and battery life amazing.

“Also I feel like the ergo as much better and easier to want to go out and shoot. And battery life is amazing.”

Loves their capable, fun X-S20.

“I love my little X-S20, it's very capable and I find it fun to use.”

Rented the X-H2 and X-T5 but chose the X-S20; its lighter weight gets it out much more with little IQ difference.

“the smaller weight of the xs20 has me taking it out everywhere MUCH more.”

Finds the X-S20 awesome, though stabilisation isn't the best.

“I have an XS20 and it’s awesome. Only thing is stabilization isn’t the best.”

Sold the X-H2 for the X-S20 and is very happy with its image quality and smaller size for travel.

“in terms of image quality, I’m really happy with the X-S20. Fuji colors are just so good for me.”

Just bought the X-S20 and is loving it so far.

“just bought my X-S20 and loving it!”

Calls the X-S20 perfect for cooking videos and travel photos, a huge upgrade from a phone.

“I bought it recently and it’s the absolute perfect camera for me!”

No regrets with the X-S20: like an X-M5 with EVF, bigger battery, better LCD and IBIS.

“I don't regret it at all. It's an XM5 with an EVF, bigger battery, better LCD screen, and of course - IBIS.”

Calls the X-S20 the best camera for the money for hybrid use, with amazing battery life and ergonomics.

“it’s without a doubt the best camera for the money if you want both video and stills. It’s a goldilocks camera.”

Takes the X-S20 everywhere, even skiing; loves its tiny size and power.

“I love this camera, have it myself and take it everywhere including skiing holidays.”

For an outdoors person, the X-S20 was the lightest camera that did everything.

“Lightest weight I could find that did everything I need.”

Loves the X-S20's IBIS, flash, battery and grip; dislikes it forgetting settings and no weather sealing.

“I love the X-S20! It's cheaper than the flagships, but still has most of the stuff I want.”

After two years, the X-S20 is the best camera they've used.

“I have been using XS20 for 2 years now. It's the best thing so far I have used.”

Their X-S20 is their most used camera, perfect for content and daily life.

“My XS-20 is my most used camera by far.”

Finds the X-S20 very good but its battery disappointing versus a DSLR.

“I have it too, very good camera. But coming from DSLR, the battery is quite disappointed.”

Sold their X-S20 at a loss because they never connected with it.

“I sold mine for a bit of a hefty loss. Just didn't "connect" with it whatever that means.”

Loves their X-S20 after two years, though misses dedicated dials.

“I’ve had the XS20 for a couple of years now and love it to pieces”

Finds the X-S20 comfy to carry and good for video, though less photo-centric.

“But the xs20 is super comfy to bring around.”

Bought the X-S20 and found it meh and sterile.

“I bought the x-s20 and found it a bit meh...a bit sterile.”

Their X-S20 had poor build quality, with a flimsy, slightly bent LCD.

“The X-S20 was fine, if you get a good copy I suppose, but the build quality on mine was pretty bad to be honest.”

Shoots mostly video on the X-S20; fine in winter, but summer brings overheat warnings.

“I shoot 90% videos with xs20. In winter, it never had any problems, in summer I got several overheat warnings”

Their X-S20 shut off mid-shoot in summer heat; a dedicated fan fixed it.

“When shooting in the Summer, I had it automatically turn off mid-shooting because it was too hot”

Has used the X-S20 for a year at concerts and studios without overheating.

“I‘m a XS20 user since a nearly a year now and never had any overheating issues.”

Has had occasional X-S20 overheating on hot days with flash and long 4K clips.

“sometimes I had some overheating issues, especially when I used it with an external flashlight on a bright hot sunny day”

Had an X-S20 overheat warning on day one but not since.

Their new X-S20 warned of overheating after an hour of light use at 25°C.

“Got a Fujifilm x-s20 this week.”

Has had the X-S20 for over two years: small, long battery and a nice grip.

“Had mine for 2+ years. Small. Big battery life. Nice grip.”

Their X-S20 froze from heat after 15 minutes of photos at 27°C.

“Within \~15 minutes, it gave a temperature warning and then **completely froze**”

Their X-S20 overheated nearly every time they shot video outdoors.

“i had an x-s20. it did overheat pretty much anytime i did video outdoor.”

Had an X-S20 for a month and got too many false-positive AF confirmations.

“I had my XS20 for one month.”

Shoots wildlife on the X-S20; the AF is fine but could be better.

“I shoot on X-S20. AF is fine but I would like for it to be improved.”

Their X-S20's eye AF almost always hits on their dog.

“I own an X-S20 and don't get it either. I use eye AF on my dog with Chinese budget lenses and it almsot always hits.”

Shoots birds in flight with the X-S20 at an 8/10 hit rate.

“I shoot birds in flight with a xs20.”

Never wants to shoot their X-S20 above ISO 6400.

“Fuji I never want to shoot above 6400.”

Owns the X-S20 and X-T5 and wishes they'd chosen another system for birds.

“I've got the X-S20 and the X-T5 and the same is true for both of them.”

Has had the X-S20 for 18 months; loves the colours but has missed many shots to AF.

“I’ve had the xs20 for 1.5 years. While i keep grabbing it because i adore the SOOC colors”

Their X-S20 works well with small single-point AF.

“My X-S20 works well for me. Maybe because I use a small single point AF”

Owns the X-S20 and X-T50 and finds their autofocus and tracking massively improved.

“I own the XS-20 and X-T50, both with their latest chip, and it's autofocus and tracking has massively improved.”

Six months into photography with the X-S20, they can shoot stills for an hour, but 4K video in tropical heat shows an overheating warning after about 15 minutes.

“But when I shoot 4K video, it’s a different story - probably 15 mins and it’ll show the warning.”

Calls the X-S20 a wonderful camera, loving its grip, its colours and a battery that lasts forever.

“It's a wonderful camera. I specially love the grip, and the colors are as lovely as you can expect. Not to mention the battery lasts forever.”

Bought both the X-S20 and X-T5, returned the X-T5 because the image quality looked the same, and thinks the X-S20 is underrated.

“I initially purchased XS20 and xt5 and ended up returning xt5 because I thought IQ looked the same to me”

A week into the X-S20 after an old Canon DSLR, they find the buttons and menus less intuitive but like how it feels in the hand.

“So far I really like how it feels in my hands though!”

Has used the X-S20 in beaches, humidity, Icelandic snow and safari without any weather issues.

“I’ve used my Fuji X-S20 in Thailand (beaches, boats), Cambodia (high humidity), Iceland (waterfalls, windy snow conditions under northern lights)”

Has birded and hiked in light rain and freezing cold with the non-weather-sealed X-S20 without trouble.

“now the non-weather sealed X-S20 and did a lot of birding and hikes with them.”

Has brought their X-S20 into several venues that ban professional cameras without issues.

“I've had no issues bringing my Xs-20 to multiple locations.”

Their X-S20 is already losing paint on the bottom, and the eyecup isn't removable.

“Can confirm, i have Fuji XS20 and trying not to breath on it.”

Used an X-S20 for a couple of weeks and loved how easy it was to carry for long periods, thanks to its light weight and small size.

“Really loved how I could easily carry it around for prolonged periods due to its light weight and excellent small form factor.”

Returning their X-S20 because of the worm and watercolour artefacts on foliage they saw when processing its files in Lightroom.

“Returning my XS20 this week because of that issue.”

Finds the X-S20 fine for studio work but doesn't trust it for paid event gigs.

“It’s perfectly fine for studio stuff.”

Owns an X-S20 and finds it capable of all kinds of professional work and more fun to use than the a6700.

“I own an X-S20, and it’s very capable of all kinds of professional work. It is definitely more fun to use than the a6700.”

After a day with their first camera, the X-S20, they were stunned by the colours and detail straight out of camera, even in low light.

“these are SOOC and the colour reproduction, the grain, the depth, the details, even in low lighting”

Calls the X-S20 fantastic, but theirs failed three times after they bought it new in 2023, now with an IBIS fault; all fixed under warranty.

“Unfortunately the xs20 has failed me three times since buying it new in 2023.”

Chose the X-S20; its AF is slower than their old a6400, but they adapted and shoot their daughter's soccer games fine.

“The AF is slower than even my old a6400, but I’m learning to adapt. I’ve shot my daughters soccer games just fine.”

Uses an X-S20 as a second camera; more fun for walkaround, but they reach for their Sony when they need reliable fast AF at weddings and sports.

“I agree that the Fuji is more fun to use for walkaround etc.”

Owns an X-S20; its main pain points are the AF, which needs setup, and overheating, which they handle by raising the temperature limit.

“My first painpoint with this camera is the AF”

Liked their X-S20 but switched to an a7C II, which is about the same size and price used but a better camera.

“I liked the XS20 but just switched to Sony full frame (A7CII) because the value proposition didn’t really make sense to keep with Fuji anymore.”

Switched from a Canon M50 Mark II to the X-S20 for $795 and finds it insanely underrated.

“Went from the Canon M50 mk2 to the Fuji XS20 for 795 dollars. Insanely underrated Camera”

Used the X-S20 as a first-time dad for photos and video; great straight out of camera, but the autofocus is weak.

“I used my Fuji xs20. Hybrid camera perfect for straight out of shots not edits as well as video. Only thing that sucks is autofocus. Other than that it’s an”
