Fujifilm X-S20 Announced At Fujifilm X Summit

The Fujifilm X-S20 has been announced, expanding Fujifilm’s range of mirrorless cameras.

Features on the Fujifilm X-S20, announced at the Fujifilm X Summit, include a 26MP X-Trans 4 sensor, X Processor 5 (to keep power consumption lower), and 7-stop, 5-axis IBIS which improves on the X-S10. 750 shots will be possible per charge with the NP-W235 but Fujifilm says this should be able to be stretched to 1000 photos. 

The camera shares the same similar design as the rest of the Fujifilm X-S range with its retro yet modern styling and dials/buttons found in familiar places. On the back is a 3-inch vari-angle LCD and the camera weighs just 491g. 

Video is captured at 6.2K as well as 4K and Full HD with a new VLOG option available on the mode dial so you can quickly access video functions. 

Autofocus is improved with the camera able to lock on to the eye and face of moving subjects, even when the face is slightly blocked from view and the X-S20 also recognises more subjects, including drones and insects. 

Fujifilm X-S20 Features:

• 26.1MP sensor X-Trans CMOS 4 BI sensor
• X-Processor 5
• Subject detection AF
