Autofocus

The X-S20 has a fast and accurate autofocus system that is perfect for capturing moving subjects. The camera can track subjects even when they are moving quickly or erratically. This makes it ideal for shooting sports, wildlife, and other fast-paced subjects. The recent Fujfilm cameras have really upped their game in terms of autofocus and the X-S20 continues that trend, introducing some nice features for vloggers including eye tracking and product review AF.

Video

The X-S20 can record stunning 4K video at up to 60fps and 6.2K open gate via the HDMI. The camera also offers a variety of video features, including slow motion, time-lapse, and image stabilisation. This makes it a great choice for vloggers and content creators who want to produce high-quality videos. The dedicated vlog mode on the function dial is a great feature and allows quick switching between the different content creation modes.

Design and Features

The X-S20 is a compact and lightweight camera that is easy to carry with you on your travels. It has a sleek and stylish design that is sure to turn heads. The camera also features a vari-angle touchscreen display that makes it easy to frame your shots and record videos from different angles. Despite being small the larger grip makes the X-S20 really nice to hold and is even easy to use one handed. The only downside is the lack of weather sealing, considering the target market this would have been a nice edition.

The X-S20 includes the 5-axis in body image stabalisation which delivers up to 7 stops of image stabalisation.

The Fujifilm X-S20 is so compact that it fits even the smallest of camera bags.

Battery Life

The X-S20 uses the larger capacity NP-W235 battery which combined with the power saving technology in the older sensor results in an incredible 1000 shots per charge. This is another reason the Fujifilm X-S20 is one of the best cameras for travel photography. During testing I left the camera switched on more than I normally would, for a full day's shooting I didn’t once change the battery. Gone are the days of carrying 5 batteries to get through an intensive day.

Conclusion

The Fujifilm X-S20 is a great camera for travel photography, vlogging, and content creation. It has a compact and lightweight design, a fast and accurate autofocus system, and a variety of video features. The size, weight and battery life make this a great tool for travel photography, but also for content creators who need an all in one package. The vlogging/content creators market is blossoming and the Fujifilm X-S20 is possibly one of the best on the market at this price point.
