Fujifilm X-S20 Review | Photography Blog


Introduction

The X-S20 is a mid-range mirrorless camera with an APS-C sensor which replaces the previous X-S10 model in the Fujifilm range.

It retains the smaller body and simpler user interface of original, again marking quite a departure from the usual Fujifilm blueprint for enthusiast cameras which typically have lots of external controls.

If you have ever been put off by the more complex design and larger size of models like the X-T5 and X-Pro3 and prefer a more DSLR-design, the X-S20 will be a better fit.

Although they look almost identical side-by-side, there are quite a lot of differences between the new XS20 and the previous XS10 model from 2020 when it comes to their core specifications and features.

These include the latest X-Processor 5 processor, more sophisticated auto-focusing, additional 6K video codecs, a brand new dedicated VLOG shooting mode for vlogging, significantly longer battery life, 7 stops of IBIS, a higher-resolution LCD screen, a dedicated headphone jack and seamless webcam connectivity.

In terms of its marketing position, the X-S20 sits above the X-T30 II and below the X-T5 in the current Fujifilm X-series range.

The Fujifilm X-S20 is priced at £1,249 / $1,299 body only, £1,399 / $1,399 with the XC 15-45mm lens, or £1,599 / $1,699 with the XF 18-55mm lens. It is made in Indonesia.

Ease of Use




Fujifilm X-S10

The image sensor used in the new X-S20 and the previous X-S10 is exactly the same – a 26 megapixel, APS-C sized, X-Trans 4 BSI CMOS sensor – which is also used by the X-Pro3 and X-T4 cameras.

So you will get exactly the same still and video image quality from either X-S series model.

The pricier X-T5 ups the ante considerably to a 40.2 megapixel sensor, offering much greater resolution.

It actually uses exactly the same X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor as the flagship X-H2 camera, with HR standing for High Resolution.

This is a BSI (back-side illuminated) sensor design that has much more of a focus on detail and resolution than out-and-out speed.

The native sensitivity range of the X-S20 is ISO 160 to ISO 12,800, which can be expanded to ISO 80 to ISO 51,200.




Fujifilm X-S10

What differs between them is the processor, with the XS20 using the latest X-Processor 5 processor, as also featured in the X-T5, X-H2 and X-H2S, whereas the older XS10 has the previous generation X-Processor 4 processor.

This primarily means that the XS20 is able to offer more sophisticated auto-focusing and additional 6K video codecs which the XS10 doesn’t support.

Physically the X-S20 sits between the X-H and X-T series, looking like those two camera ranges have been merged together to create the more diminutive X-S series.

The design of the body and controls is by far the main difference between the XS20 and the more expensive XT5 step-up model which many buyers may also be considering.

The new X-S20 is much smaller and lighter than its big brother, and purposely has a much simpler interface in order to try and make it more appealing to less experienced users or those who prefer fewer controls.

If you’ve ever considered a Fujifilm camera but been put of by its plethora of manual controls – something that admittedly a lot of people love with a passion – then the new XS20 will certainly be more up your street.




Fujifilm X-S10

Instead of the ISO dial, Shutter Speed dial and Exposure Compensation dial found on top of the X-T5, there’s just a customisable Function dial on the left and shooting mode dial on the top-right of the XS20.

The rear of the X-S20 is slightly simpler too, with the X-T5’s D-pad completely disappearing in favour of a more touchscreen-heavy interface.

Weighing in at 491g including a battery and memory card and measuring 127.7mm x 85.1mm x 65.4mm, the X-S10 is 20% lighter and 10% smaller than the X-T5, which in turn is slightly lighter and smaller than the flagship X-H1 model.

It’s just 26g heavier than the original X-S10 despite using a larger battery that more than doubles the number of shots that you can take.

The Fuji X-S10 has an impressively large hand-grip for such a small camera, which is the direct result of the new, larger capacity battery being located in the grip to accommodate the IBIS unit.

It’s plenty big enough to wrap three fingers of your hand around, with your right forefinger operating the shutter button.




Fujifilm X-S10

The large grip helps to make the camera more stable when paired even with one of Fujifilm’s larger telephoto lenses.

Despite being so small and light, the X-S20 offers a very impressive level of build quality that’s on a par with more expensive models in the range.

An added bonus for some people is the inclusion of a built-in pop-up flash, something that the more pro-oriented XT5 doesn’t have.

The only main concession to the more aggressive price-point from a build quality point of view is the complete lack of any weather-sealing – if this is a must-have feature, then you’ll need to step-up to the X-T5.

Despite being so small and light, the new XS20 still manages to squeeze in a very good stabilisation system that’s been further improved since the X-S10 was released.

The X-S10 provided up to 6 shutter steps of compensation, whereas the new X-S20 improves on that by supporting up to a maximum of 7 stops, matching the more expensive X-T5.




Fujifilm X-S10

The XS20 has a simplified interface that has been designed to be less intimidating to new users who don’t already have a vested interest in the Fujifilm X-series system, or to those who don’t appreciate manual controls as much as a simpler, more streamlined control layout.

So the X-S20 has a much less complex top-plate compared to the usual array of manual controls that Fujifilm include on their higher-end cameras.

Instead of the ISO dial, Shutter Speed dial and Exposure Compensation dial which adorn the top of the X-T5, there’s a Function dial on the left of the X-S20 which by default changes the film simulation mode, and a traditional PASM dial on the right.

The X-S20 impressively offers no less than four Custom shooting modes on the PASM dial, and even better than that, you can choose to store AF/MF and shooting settings in each mode as well as the image quality setting.

This makes it very easy to setup different custom modes for different shooting scenarios/techniques. Note that this only works for stills, though, not movies.

Importantly the X-S20 still offers front and rear command dials, which along with the customisable Function button sake it easy to quickly change the shutter speed, aperture and exposure compensation, depending on which shooting mode you’re currently using.




Fujifilm X-S10

Fujifilm still believe that a built-in flash is an important feature on their lower-mid tier cameras, so the new X-S20 comes with a pop-up flash that’s activated by a switch on the left of the top-panel.

Also found on top of the camera are the ISO and Quick Menu buttons, along with a one-touch movie record button and the shutter release button, encircled by the On/Off power switch.

Turning to the rear of the XS20, once again the control layout is simpler when compared to the X-T5.

Despite the lack of traditional Fujifilm manual dials, the X-S20 still provides some controls for the enthusiast user, as well as a simpler interface for beginners.

The View Mode, AEL and AF ON buttons all double up as customisable Function buttons, while the 8-way AF joystick is a great inclusion on a mid-range camera.

The X-S20 offers 8fps continuous shooting when using the manual shutter, increasing to 20fps when switching to the electronic shutter without any crop, or 30fps with a 1.25x crop applied.




Fujifilm X-S10

The X-T5 supports a 15fps continuous shooting speed when using the mechanical shutter, beating the X-S20, but the latter outperforms the former when it comes to the electronic shutter.

If you switch to the electronic shutter, the XT5 can shoot at up to 20fps, with a 1.29x crop applied. The X-S20 can actually shoot at 30fps when using the electronic shutter, with a 1.25x crop applied.

Note that the 20fps and 10fps rates have no crop applied on the X-S20, so it actually outperforms the X-T5 in this regard.

The electronic viewfinder (EVF) is a 2.36M-dot unit with 0.62x magnification, 100fps refresh rate and a built-in eye sensor. It’s exactly the same as the one found in the X-S10.

In comparison, the X-T5 has a more detailed 3.68M-dot OLED electronic viewfinder with larger 0.80x magnification, 100fps refresh rate, and a built-in eye sensor. It’s easier to use for glasses wearers because of its larger size and built-in eye-cup, which the X-S20 lacks.

The X-S20 has a 3-inch vari-angle LCD screen that can be tilted out to the side and rotated forwards, and also folded against the back of the camera to help protect it when not in use.




Fujifilm X-S10

You can flip out the screen to the side, rotate it forwards for easier operation when pointing the camera at yourself, and fold it flat against the back of the camera to stop it from getting scratched.

This free-angle design proves to be very versatile screen for vlogging, movie shooting and photography in general.

What differs between the XS10 and XS20 is the resolution of the screen – 1.04M-dots versus 1.84M-dots respectively – which gives the X-S20 a noticeable edge.

The X-S20 has a good movie mode that more than holds its own against its main rivals and surpasses the capabilities of its predecessor.

The newer camera offers a highest quality rate of 6.2K/30P, plus DCI 4K/60P, 1080/60P, 1080/240P, recorded in 4:2:2 10-bit internally up to 360Mbps. The previous model offered a highest quality rate of DCI 4K/60p video recorded in 4:2:0 10-bit internally.

Compared to the X-T5, both of them also support up to DCI 4K/60p recording but the X-S20 does so with a 1.17x crop factor, whereas the X-T5 doesn’t apply any crop to its 4K/60p footage.




Fujifilm X-S10

The X-T5 features a digital zoom function that uses the camera’s 40.2MP sensor to deliver up to 2x of digital zoom with little to no loss in resolution, when recording video in 4K. The X-S20 does not support this function.

Combined with a compatible HDMI recording device from Atomos or Blackmagic Design, 12-bit RAW video output from the X-S20 can be recorded as Apple ProRes RAW or Blackmagic RAW.

There’s also the very latest F-Log2 profile which supports an expanded 14+ stops of dynamic range, and a welcome 3.5mm headphone jack has been added to the right-hand flank of the camera.

A new Vlog shooting mode has been introduced for Vlog production. Set the Shooting Mode dial on the top of the XS20 to “Vlog” to quickly change key camera settings with a touch of a button for video self-portraits. It also enables the equally new Product Priority auto-focus mode and Background Defocus option.

Product Priority is a special autofocus mode that alerts the camera to switch focus from a person’s face to an object that may be held up in front of the camera.

This is a popular YouTube technique for when wanting to show an item to the viewer, but on cameras with slower autofocus it can leave the focus fixed on the presenter’s face with the product out of focus, and vice versa. The Product Priority mode solves that issue, adding another plus point for vlogging with the X-S20.




Fujifilm X-S10

For vloggers, the aim of the new Background Defocus option is to quickly switch between having the background blurred or clear. In photographic terms it is switching the aperture between the largest available on the attached lens and a much smaller one. Note that it is only available for video and not also for stills.

Both models have the Long GOP and All Intra compression formats, F-Log profile, 1080p/240p 10x slow-motion mode, digital image stabiliser which works in conjunction with the in-camera and lens-based systems, IS Mode Boost, different Main menu and Quick menu systems for stills and video modes, and a 3.5mm MIC socket.

The new X-S20 has exactly the same hybrid autofocus system with phase detection and and contrast detections points as the X-S10, but the older model doesn’t support the subject-detection AF developed with Deep Learning technology that the XS20 now offers.

In the Single point AF mode there are up to 425 selectable AF points arranged in a 25×17 grid. Alternatively, the camera can be set to 117 points in a 13×9 grid, and the size of the points can also be varied.

In addition to Single point AF, there’s Zone AF which allows the AF points to be selected in 3×3, 5×5 or 7×7 groups, and Wide/Tracking AF.

The X-S20 can automatically detect animals, birds, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, airplanes, trains, insects and drones thanks to the X-Processor 5’s AI deep learning capabilities.

In addition the new AUTO Subject Detection function automatically detects and tracks a subject while keeping it in focus when taking stills and recording video.




Fujifilm X-S10

Perhaps unsurprisingly given its size, the Fujifilm X-S20 only has a single SD UHS-II memory card slot, rather than the X-T5’s dual card slots.

What’s more, on the XS20 the memory card slot is next to the battery in a shared compartment on the bottom of the camera, whereas on the X-T5 the memory cards are housed behind a lockable door on the side of the camera.

So the location of the memory card on the XS20 is less convenient and the single memory card slot is less flexible and offers less peace of mind than the dual slots on the XT5.

In a very welcome change, the Fujifilm X-S20 now uses the larger capacity NP-W235 battery found in the X-T5 , rather than the smaller capacity NP-W126S battery that the X-S10 used.

This offers a CIPA-rated battery life of up to 800 shots on a single charge in normal mode, versus a just 325 shots on the X-S10, which is a significant improvement.

Both cameras can also be powered and charged via a USB-C connection, which is useful if you’re out and about and have a compatible power-bank to plug the camera into.

You can now connect the X-S20 to a computer with a USB-Type C cable to use it as a webcam without having to install any software, unlike the X-S10 which has to use the Fujifilm X Webcam app.

Dynamic Range

A dynamic range (DR) boost is always on, with a choice between auto, 100%, 200% and 400%. We have taken identical images going through this range of settings and the visible difference of detail in the extreme shadow and highlights areas is actually rather subtle. As such, for the most part we kept DR in the auto setting.

Film Simulations

The Fujifilm X-S20 offers 19 different film simulation modes to help replicate the look of your favourite film stock from the past.

Filters

The Fujifilm X-S20 offers 13 different creative filter effects which can be previewed on the LCD screen and/or in the EVF before taking a photo.

Conclusion

Despite looking almost identical, the new Fujifilm X-S20 APS-C camera improves on the first-generation X-S10 from 2020 in a number of significant ways.

Most notably, the newer model has a much longer battery life, better auto-focusing system, 6K video support, higher-resolution LCD screen, dedicated headphone jack, and more effective IBIS, all housed in a similarly sized body.

The XS20 remains an intriguingly different proposition to the X-T and X-H series cameras in terms of its size and design, yet one that offers a lot of the core features at a lower price-point.

The combination of the 26 megapixel sensor from its predecessor and the latest X-Processor 5 may prove to be the sweet-spot for people who don’t need the extra resolution offered by the X-T5 and X-H2’s 40 megapixel sensor.

You essentially get the more “sensible” 26 megapixels paired with the subject-detect auto-focus and 6K video recording that the newer processor provides.

Together with the almost unnoticeable integration of the larger capacity NP-W235 battery which more than doubles the battery life, that may be enough to seal the deal for the new X-S20 without even having to mention the dedicated Vlog mode and the equally new Product Priority and Background Defocus modes.

With the recent hikes in the cost of almost everything, though, the XS20 is priced at a whopping £$300 more than the original model was launched at just three years ago, which is not to be sniffed at in a cost of living crisis.

Ultimately, though, the X-S20 builds on the success of its innovative predecessor, continuing to offer most of the core features of the X-T5 in a smaller, lighter and simpler package at a still cheaper price point.

The FUJIFILM X-S20 is here, and in my opinion, it is the best middle-class camera out there. In fact, it is like having 5 cameras in one body: a photo camera, webcam, “normal video camera”, vlogging camera, and what I call a “creative camera”.
