The Fujifilm X-S20 is a lightweight and compact system camera with AI-based autofocus, 6.2K video and a powerful battery. The X-S20 expands the award-winning X series, which is appreciated for its handy and innovative cameras as well as its unparalleled colour reproduction. The X-S20 combines high image quality and maximum mobility. Weighing only 491 grams, it is the ideal travel camera. It is suitable for a wide range of subjects from spontaneous self-portraits to demanding photo and video shoots. The battery life is now twice as long as its predecessor. Around 800 shots are achieved with a fully charged battery. The compact camera offers many advanced features such as a high-resolution 26.1-megapixel X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor, the fast X-Processor 5 and five-axis image stabilisation over 7.0 EV steps. The innovative Scene Recognition AF based on Artificial Intelligence, already used in the flagship Fujifilm X-T5, automatically detects animals and cars, among other things.

Source: GalaxusThe Fujifilm X-S20 belongs to the model series with "modern" operation compared to the classic variants. This appeals to the target group of filming photographers and vloggers. However, they also benefit from many other improvements, as Fujifilm was able to improve the image quality of the X-S20 (with the same sensor) and increase its speed and endurance...
Anyone who believes that cameras with an APS-C sensor are only suitable for beginners could not be more wrong. In fact, the top models in this class can very well compete with their full-frame rivals. Fujifilm relies exclusively on APS-C sensors for its cameras and has several models on sale that are also interesting for demanding, ambitious photographers...
"The X-S20 from Fujifilm is the most expensive camera tested - but it has a lot to offer. First of all, the special features of the Fujifilm system: the Japanese company uses a so-called X-Trans sensor in APS-C format for the X-S20 and other high-quality cameras. This technology is not available from the competition in the test field...
The complete switch by manufacturers from DSLRs to mirrorless system cameras means that the housings of current cameras have also shrunk significantly compared to the past. This is logical, as manufacturers no longer have to accommodate bulky mirror boxes in their housings. Nevertheless, there are still considerable differences in size and weight even in current cameras...
The X-S20 clearly offers added value compared to its predecessor: a more powerful battery enables almost twice as many shutter releases per charge, while the image processor from Fujifilm's top models raises the camera to a new level of AF point detection. Photographers benefit from the improved image quality, film makers from the increased resolution of 6.2K...
With the EOS R7, Canon is just about at the top of the test field. In terms of the camera's performance, this is perfectly acceptable; in terms of input dynamic range alone, it is in a league of its own. But, as I said, it's still a close call. Especially as the other cameras can also put up some very strong arguments against the Canon...
