Fujifilm X-S20 system camera

Fujifilm X-S20 - a small powerhouse

The highly anticipated Fujifilm X-S20 breaks the bank in its price range, offering features not found elsewhere. Despite its small size, it has the ergonomics and usability of a traditional SLR with modern internals. Despite the price range, Fuji has put all its eggs in this newcomer's basket. Equipped with a modern X-processor 5 processor and a fast X-Trans 4 sensor, the camera is very fast to focus and the image quality is of proven Fuji quality (familiar from the X-T4). The built-in sensor stabilisation helps to get sharp images even at slightly slower shutter speeds.

The body is basically identical to the X-S10, the grip is a bit stiffer because it has a lovely newer battery inside (NP-W235). Naturally, almost all the buttons and rollers on the camera are customisable and every user is sure to find the camera controls they like. So if you like the lenses, image quality and vibe of Fujifilm cameras, but you're not into flat-body cameras, this is the device for you! Video enthusiasts will appreciate the headphone and mic connections and, of course, hilarious video specs.

The device is also good as a streaming camera.

The viewfinder has a bright 2.36 million display and the screen is a 3″ 1.84 million dot touch LCD.

Film simulations

• Velvia: High contrast saturated slide simulation
• Dish: a simulation of moderate contrast and saturation ideal for potrettes
• Classic Chrome: produces classic low tones and deep colours, like a slightly patinated slide.
• Classic Neg: Subdued contras but strong colours. Vintage mental simulation.
• PRO Neg: A simulation available in both Hi and Standard variants. A high contrast option with bold but natural colours. Professional negative simulation.
• Eterna: The simulation of film, with its smooth colours and low saturation, is well suited to post-processing and colour definition.
• Eterna Bleach Bypass: an effects-like simulation derived from basic Eterna, with harsh colours and contrast.
• Acros: based on the popular black and white film with a choice of yellow, red and green filter versions.
• B&W: A straightforward traditional black and white option with yellow, red and green filter versions.
• Broom: Do not use.
