I agree about having only four custom settings. Heck my equally AWESOME little X-E4 even has the seven custom settings. That said, I absolutely love my X-S20–what an amazing little high quality package to travel with!

Thanks! It’s always good to hear a practical , non-hyped review. I like your style! 👍🙋🏼♀️

Excellent review. I love the way you communicate as though you were talking to a friend. I bought the xs20 2 weeks ago and am just getting such a good experience with the form factor and those beautiful fuji colors. The things you don't like about the camera are pretty much the same for me. One important thing that you omitted to talk about is the outstanding video quality of this baby fuji. The video is on par with cameras costing twice as much. I compared it to my Sony a7siii and couldn't see any difference Fujifilm have almost hit a home run with the xs20. One final thought. The form factor of fuji cameras just make you fall in love with photography all over again. Looking forward to your next videos. Cheers

Well thought out talking points! I decided to purchase one as a family camera. Would love to see some videos on your lenses for Fuji.

Good video. Thanks. subscribed.

I would rather have 2 more custom settings than the filter and vlog mode. I don’t think I’ve ever used filter mode on any of my cameras

I agree with you about the 40MP sensor. The 40MP sensor works better with the X-H2 than it does with the X-T5 and I put it down to the faster electronics in the X-H2. When Fuji Rumors predicted that the X-S20 would have the 26MP sensor, I was disappointed for a few seconds then realised that it was a sensible decision and the X-S20 with the latest processor would perform better than the X-T4, which has the 26MP sensor, the old processor and is a highly regarded camera.

I am deciding whether to buy this camera and very much appreciate your view. Two more things I like about your clip are your calm and concise presentation which is pleasant and rare these days, also for not showing a massive mic in front of your face and yet the audio still comes out loud and clear.😊

I had the S10 was very good for photo with great color with my long exposures and low ISO, but when I had shots with wildlife at 1600 iso was ok but @ 3200 ISO and higher was terrible, so I sold it. Also old batteries NP126 was just terrible at cold. Always had like 5 or 6 for a day

Well presented! I have the X-S10 now and am considering the X-S20 or X-T5 as an upgrade. The X-S20 seems to improve battery and and autofocus, and the X-T5 -- battery, autofocus, weather-sealing, and adds resolution (though not as important to me). I really like the grip on the X-S10 and I'm now comfortable with the buttons/dials. I've improved as an operator, but still haven't figured out the autofocus system on the X-S10 for anything that moves. Looking forward to your future content.

Matt, Thanks, agree with all your pros and cons. I’ve been in and out of the Fuji system, but using Nikon for apsc last couple of years. If Nikon doesn’t release an update of the Z50 i’ll probably head back to Fuji and would go with this model.

very good review
-
Well done thoughtful and informative. I owned the xs10 and have been tempted to purchase xs20 but the $300 price increase Swede me to the xt5 instead. Are you using the xs20 for blogging or videos while your doing your photography? Thank you .
-
I love the camera for photography (also came from a X-T30) but for video I find the IBIS a bit lacking, unfortunately.

Nice review, can yoy please share the link of the L Bracket for this camera ? Thanks
-
X-T5s (with 26 Mpix sensor)? I hope so. For 40 Mp better FF instead of APS-C sensor
-
I want to shoot fast action sports and what Im hearing is that this camera I would not be happy with. Baseball, soccer, lacrosse, hockey, demolition derby, horse events. True? your thoughts?
-
I can't find that Smallrig bracket for X-S20.

Is this camera good for wildlife photography/ videography aswell for someone wanting to get into wildlife photography
