Fujifilm X-S20 Body Only

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 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 wanted to absolutely love this camera, but it has a few detractors that made me return it in a day of testing. I bought it for filming outdoors in a farm/garden documenting capacity, but it just didn't cut it. PROS: -Image quality! This thing puts out beautiful photos and videos, especially with the built in film simulations which I loved. Plenty of options for video size, codec, etc. No slouch in this department -Form factor--nice and somewhat compact, although with a lens it is still larger than any M43 camera (obviously) and not much smaller than a full frame with a smaller lens. Maybe too small for some, but I have large hands and found it comfortable -Autofocus: Improved from their previous XS10 (From what I watched in reviews) and it did work quite well. Maybe not the best, but certainly very workable. -Auto & Vlog mode: if you don't want to fiddle with settings, this thing does great adapting to whatever lighting & lens situation you have going on. It uses AI to detect the scene and adjust exposure accordingly. This was nice for just mindless operation like you might do in any run of the mill vlog or talking head situation. CONS: -Overheating! This thing gets hot and fast. Filming at 80F for 8mins in FHD caused it to shut down due to overheating in standard heat management mode. If you up the mode--which to me feels like a gamble, you can get 50mins plus, but the camera gets wicked hot. They sell a fan attachment for $200, but it makes it so the screen has to be flipped out and now you went from a $1300 camera body to $1500 and still have no weather sealing or other improvements... For me it was a deal breaker, especially considering my use case. -Stabilization: while I heard it was better than anything else Fuji has done yet, it was still way too jerky for my liking, even with all of the stabilization options enabled. It made walk and talk footage feel nauseating for me. If you'll be doing tripod or gimble work, it won't matter. But since this thing is sold with a dedicated Vlog setting, I thought it was a huge oversight to have such jerky stabe. -No weather sealing. This is something is really annoying at this price point. My Lumix G85 even has it. Overall, a really solid camera, but with the lack of built in cooling fan and the jerky stabe, it just wasn't going to work for my long-term usage scenario. I opted to spend another $300 and get a Lumix S5II which is the best stabe in the business and has excellent video features as well as AF. I do miss the ease of getting a beautiful film look, but I guess I'll have to wait until Fuji does something about their stabe and cooling. And the S5II has a real time LUT feature that does a lot of what Fuji film simulation can do.

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 )

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.
