For what it's worth this has been my favorite Fuji camera. Before this i had the XH1 and the XT3. No stabilization didn't work for me on the xt3 and on both the battery life was very bad. This has a flippy screen and nice size grip and battery lasts a long time. This easily had been my favorite Fuji camera.

I’ve been researching for a good while and I think I’m finally going to land on this camera. I keep coming back to it after watching/reading reviews of any other. Hopefully I’ll get my hands on one by the end of the month :) thank you dude

I think that the X-S20 is way more than an „entry level“ camera. It might be for Fuji but not for other brands. It is a very capable device for 99% of the people out there. And you can expect future updates with more functions.
An entry level camera would be something for way under 1000 EUR.

I love this camera! I’ve had it two weeks and feels like such an upgrade from my phone. I’m new to photography but not videography and wanted something that can do both and still be an everyday carry. I love the tactile settings to get out of my head and focus on the world around me. The simulations mean that I use both jpeg and raw but don’t need to edit every shot. I love that as I progress I have headroom to play with and do more. Great video!

After X-T5 remove the flip screen, this X-S20 is now my favorite, comapct, lightweight and a huge battery life <3

I use the XE1 still as a pro camera and it does the job aswell as when National geografic photographers used it 12 years ago. I also use the XS10 without any complaints. I think we should buy more used gear and learn the gear before buying new gear. I reccon it takes at least a few years to really learn a camera. That's why professionals don't buy new gear that often. I still see alot of pros using 10 year old cameras.

After waiting months on the x100vi, I canceled that and bought the xs20 and received it this week. I like it, but have a lot to learn coming from the Canon world.

Did you know that the xs20 has a hidden dual gain iso feature when using flog 2

The second base iso kicks in at iso 3200 when using flog2 giving a cleaner footage than iso 2000 thus making it a low light beast when paired with a lens like the Siriu t1.2 sniper lens series and yes they have autofocus that is similar to what viltrox offers

This thing is a small beast with lots of hidden features
Also setting lens profiles for ibis will make any lens very smooth to operate handheld and minimizes the wobbles when duck walking

This camera is a beast and specially in low light specially with that fine grain noise pattern

I'm going to have this in January, so excited!

[determinedskeptic]

The size of this and the IBIS makes me really think this might be the upgrade for me from my X-T2. I travel a lot for work and occasional lunch get a day to walk around doing street photography so the size would help. It I also like to film my mate mountain biking. I’m pretty sure this is the one for me…but I do really like the screen on the X-T2 which the X-T5 has…🤔🤔🤔🤔

No camera has 'limitless' recording capabilities. I have the same camera, and with a very fast 128GB card, it only records for just over 45 minutes. It's the card limit, not the battery. With a 256GB card I can record up to about 1:20 minutes continuously (with full battery charge). Let's just say it's not restricted to the old 29:59 minute cripple.

Definitely considering this as a companion to my XT5. Thanks for the great video!

How long does it take before it starts overheating? I was planning to use it for real estate videography

[Nishijama]

Hi, I'm a beginner amateur, only recently started learning photography and had been using only my phone to take photos and record video previously. I'm looking for a beginner setup probably only ever for personal use (photos and videos from vacations, family life, nature, etc) and I consider getting either X-T30 II or X-S20 paired with FX 18-55mm to start with. Would you recommend getting XT30II as a first camera or does it make little sense if I can afford the XS20? The thing is I don't really care for the content-creation, vlogging, influencer bells and whistles on the XS20...

[AlessandraMcGill]

Hi Jay! Which recipe did you use on your preview video? Really great informative video! Thank you for such a great video! I’m going to buy this one!

[joaogouveia]

Hey Jay. Just a question...is it worth to considerate de Canon R8 right now instead of X-S20? Good price at the moment here in Portugal.
Thank you

[jablonskifitness]

Hey bro! I’m looking for camera. I will use it for small video like if reels, yt shorts etc will you recommend xs10 or xs20? Now I’m using iPhone for that.

[miguelliszka]

Hey Jay, great honest review. Love your videos. I was wondering if you could help me choose between the xs20 and the XH2s. I'm planning on filming a small ad on may in south Spain and then I will be travelling to Bali and want to make serious documentary episodes of my trip. However the XH2s is a bit pricey. Will the xs20 do the job for cinematic documentaries and talking head videos? Or maybe for travelling is a better option the xh2s?

[qyxfilm]

what about the overheating problems? when you wanna record "unlimited" can it record more than 1 hour in 4k ?
