- Fujifilm X-S20 Mirrorless Camera Body

Just received this beauty. So only time will tell how it ultimately compares and holds up to other cameras I own. So far I’d say it’s a keeper. Other than medium format, I’ve curated (within the last 6 years) one of each of Fuji’s main camera lineup, specifically an x100v (used in excellent condition for a fair price long before it blew up on social media), xpro3 (used in excellent condition for a steal), xt4 (open box for a good deal), xm5 (preordered MSRP to avoid the current trend of scalpers/price gouging), xe5 (ditto), and now the xs20 (used, like new, with the 16-50mm “kit” lens, from Amazon warehouse for over $300 off the MSRP). I’m not a professional. I’m an amateur who likes to curate (and keep) cameras that inspire me to use them for my hobby. For the most part, I lean toward compact hybrid (mirrorless) cameras that are easy to use and carry and versatile enough to shoot above average photos and videos. Along with my Fuji cameras, I own a Sony a7c and a6600 (full frame and cropped sensor cameras that I waited years to purchase for good deals and that use the same menu system and battery), a Canon m6ii (my all time favorite camera system), and a Ricoh griii (purchased open box for a good deal by my husband who ultimately preferred my Sony rx100vii (purchased used in excellent condition) so we traded). In other words, I have decent experience finding good deals, buying used gear, and using a variety of camera systems. The xs20 wasn’t even on my radar until I used the xm5. I’ve enjoyed the xm5 so much that I looked for a good deal on the xs20 which adds ibis, an evf, bigger battery, better grip, etc. My immediate reaction is that the xs20 with the 16-50mm lens is a compact, lightweight, easy to use, versatile, hybrid powerhouse that I’m going to absolutely love. Some complain about the xs20’s build quality (compared to other Fuji cameras). To me, it feels like a bigger better version of the Ricoh griii. The xs20 isn’t pocketable. But it has ibis. A better grip. Built-in flash. A bigger battery. A flip out screen. An evf. An interchangeable lens system. Obviously much better video capabilities. And is still compact and lightweight enough to keep on you with a neck strap or in a small cross body pouch (like the Pgytech OneGo Drawstring Bag). Finally, as an amateur who doesn’t have to cater to clients, I don’t purchase the “best,” most expensive native lenses for my cameras. Of course, I own some native lenses that either came bundled with my cameras or were found for good deals. And they are good lenses. Even the “kit” lenses. But something I’ve enjoyed more is finding a variety of third party lenses that are more reasonably priced, work just as well, and add different characteristics than native lenses. There is no perfect camera or lens. And, to me, that’s what makes this hobby fun and interesting.

As someone that has been wanting to get into photography for a while and is a total beginner, I debated back and forth on if I wanted to go with a Sony APS-C camera or a Fuji. I decided on the X-S20 and have been extremely happy! I really appreciate the film simulations and all photos posted were straight out of camera with zero editing. The camera is by no means perfect- the film selection dial and front command dial both feel pretty sloppy, autofocus can sometimes miss, and both the EVF and LCD screens do leave something to be desired. But you learn to live with those things and wind up not paying attention once you learn how to work around them. Overall, great camera for both photos and videos. My biggest request to Fuji is to give it more custom setting slots!!!

I started many years ago when I gave up my Canon D5 MK3 for a Fuji XT2. Then went to the X-H1 and just received the X-S20. I like the PASM set up, the grip and the small size and weight. The landscape shots on a recent trip to Hawaii are the same as the X-H1. The video, however, is vastly improved. No time limit, bigger battery, better IS, good auto focus and lots of choices on compression, bit rate, etc. I shot an entire Luau in 4K that ended up on Final Cut at over 400GB after transcription. The video quality is superb. As others have said, this is just about the perfect travel camera.

I’ve been shooting on this camera none stop since I got it and I love the image/functionality of it. My background: I’m a commercial video director with 7+ years of experience. I’ve already used this as a photo camera on a professional shoot. Pros: Cheap 6.2K 10 bit video is amazing Film simulations and color reproduction are top notch Great lens options Super tiny but still easy to hold Fun pop up flash IBIS is great Cons: Buttons are small and there is limited customization The view finder and rear LCD could be better Overall it’s a great camera for pros and beginners alike while being cheaper than the competitors.

My camera is only 3 months old but now it's broken. "error" I've tried everything from removing battery, firmware upgrade, factory reset. Nothing is working. A really expensive item that only lasts for 3 months. I'm not even a heavy user )

First camera I bought ever to document my life as a 22yo who wants to become whatever I dare to dream about. I felt in love and even if it IS a big investment (AND of course if you are privileged to have the option), I see this purchase as an investment in myself too:)

It's a camera that maintain fuji traditional looking, the grip that use to put battery and memory card is awesome as I can really hold it with one hand, as long as you are not using heavy long lens. It came with strip, battery of course, and various charger head (you don't need to buy a converter for it if travel to other countries. What you need to buy for it, is memory card, cleaning kit, and extra battery if you want. The other thing is, as I got it when released, it's still not available for register.....btw, it came with lots of packaging, but actually it surprisingly light weight and small, and the camera came with those triangle rings on it already, no need to buy more.

Return it right away. It was super annoying. There’s no official fujifilm sticker on the package. When my camera was not charging and wasn’t able to turn on, I tried to scan the QR code for verifying the authenticity of the camera, it shows nothing. The QR code is not valid at all. So I couldn’t believe I got a product for 2600cad sth dollars is not working and valid. A huge disappointment, waste of time and energy. I couldn’t trust to buy any expensive products from Amazon again.

The screen is too dim and doesn't allow you to make it bright enough for outside shooting. The auto focus is poor and the viewfinder is only 0.39 inch in size. I was very disappointed in this camera. The grip is nice, but that's not enough to keep the camera.

i had sold my XH2 for this because of its size and the things it can do even if its just small camera. reallly small but terrible :)
