It's great to see you reviewing a new camera again. It was worth the wait. Nobody does a better review on YouTube.

[rickyzagalo]

Always a pleasure to watch your videos.
Although I was not very interested in Fujifilm's gear, nor in producing videos, the whole approach to features and functionalities, in the right measure to be enlightening and informative without being excessive, and the inflections in the speech, held my attention until the end.
That is, even if the content is not the most relevant, for our particular preferences, the session retains all the interest.
Something that few vloggers have. By the way, nice shirt

Excellent as always. Not sure if I'm ready to trade in the XS-10 quite yet, but Fuji has done an admirable job in keeping this form factor relevant.

Another informative video. This looks like the ideal camera for video. Will sit comfortably alongside my X-T4.

[michaelfabros]

thank you for that info. I am thinking to switch from XT-3 to XS20.

[kevinl]

Pleasant surprise to see a new review.

You are one of the best dressed YouTubers I watch. Nice shirt and great introduction to the X-S20

[saucelove]

That’s wonderful-that you get to test that equipment. That says a lot. Fuji is very pleased with you. Some other YouTubers-they do not like.

Maarten, may I suggest "Button Bumps"? Search B&H, for button bumps, and choose Fuji X-mount. I have used them on pretty much every camera I've owned except the OM-1 and the A7RV who's buttons seem adequate. They saved the RX10IV for me, who's buttons were very similar to those 2 you pointed out on the X-S2. They not only raise the button up, but they have that tactile feel of your silicone baking mat. No mistaking them. I'v never had one come off. They have clear ones so you can still see the markings on the buttons. I am totally baffled why manufacturers insist on flush buttons, but these will eliminate the problem. Give them a try. $12 well spent.

Now you've got the perfect vlog camera... I'm now looking forward to seeing your vlogs ☺️

Good to see another great review from you Sir. Thank you.

[catherinegrimes]

Thank you Maarten, I was hoping that you would do a review of this camera.
I need a very capable little camera that can do most things well and will fit into a backpack when I fly abroad. Your review confirmed that I made the correct decision to pre-order an X-S20.

[aninkoacharjee]

I was waiting for your take on the XS20. Thank you. As always, brilliant! ❤ from India.

[chriskuroda]

I always love your detailed and honest reviews! Even though I am invested EF and M4/3 lens mount systems, I may be adding the X mount soon. There are just too many great Fuji cameras and lenses.

[cartercooperpa]

Rock solid content well delivered. Thank you!

[BrendanMacWade]

Just found your channel Maarten. I like your honest reviews and really good use of UI overlays in your editing. Looking forward to your review of the improved Fuji X app. My SX-20 is on-order and I'm on a month-long wait list.

[dougmacmillan]

Another useful and down to earth review. I'm seriously considering this for travel, as an alternative to my trusty X-E3 travel companion. My H1 gave me a taste for more video creation and the S20's relatively small size compared to the T5 and H's hits the sweet spot.

[davidgatchalian]

Maarten, appreciate the straight-forward approach balancing technical detail with usability. Also, brilliant timing to coincide with shipping date which helps me over the decision hump.

Going to deploy as a backup to the X-T5 which will be my stills creative tool with primarily primes. Being relatively new to video creation, I feel the XT-20 has enough headroom to grow and serve as a dedicated video tool with the Sigma 18-50 attached full-time. Plan is to trade in the X-E4, so this will also serve as a travel and casual family camera. Thanks.

[tsOnMedia]

Thanks for the overview Maarten. If the X-S20 stabilization is improved over the X-T4, I will have to give it serious consideration.

[stenic]

Nice video, thanks, very instructive. Which zoom lens would you choose please for general use, especially travel/outdoor : Fuji 18-55 F2.8-4 or 16-80 F4?
