![]() It absorbs a lot of light, for what it’s worth. However, because of the way the sensor works, we’d probably recommend giving the sensor a bit less light. If you’re using this camera for street photography, the metering works more or less perfectly with Sunny 16 metering methods, give or take 1/3rd of a stop. Overall though, the autofocus on this camera won’t win you any awards. The best-focusing performance with this camera comes when you turn off the exposure preview mode. However, Fujifilm continues to make you need to dive into the menus to do this. I really wish that they allowed the programmable dial on the top left of the viewfinder let you cycle through the types of scene-focusing modes. And more importantly, Fujifilm makes Scene detection really tough to do. Focusingįujifilm cameras like the XS20 are best used in AF-S mode. What’s even nicer is the addition of a pop-up flash. The dedicated ISO button and the programmable dials are also a nice touch. That’s a standard for the industry, though. ![]() But as far as using the camera goes to simply take a photo, it’s easy to do. I’m talking about a lot of bad stuff here. Navigating the menu would be significantly faster if they just did this.Īnother problem: the brand continues to not integrate its own cameras with the Instax printers. With that said, you’ll get all the weird quirks of Fujifilm cameras – like the company’s persistent lack of adding in a fully capable touch screen. If you’re a Fujifilm user, the XS20 will be really easy to get along with. Other brands might be a whole other issue. But when we used Fujifilm and Tamron weather-resistant lenses, we didn’t have that problem. Your sensor is bound to get dirty at some point. That’s a huge problem for us not only because of the rain but also because of the bigger issue – dust. On top of all this, the XS20 isn’t weather resistant. I mean, look at the Pentax 67 series of cameras. That’s not to say that bigger grips can’t be used or made. However, they quickly forget how much their X100V and other cameras along the lines of the retro bodies go for when sold on the 2nd hand market.įujifilm really needs to stick to the retro game here. I’m aware that the brand has tried branching out and going after new audiences with the XH series. ![]() To that end, the Fuji XS20 really doesn’t feel like a Fuji cam. With that said, Sony cameras feel like a camera version of a PlayStation. Instead, it feels like Fujifilm is trying to go after the Sony a7 series of cameras with an APS-C sensor and a few dedicated buttons. But more specifically, it doesn’t feel like a Fujifilm camera. Even if you try to wire it via custom settings, you’ll see that it’s impossible. But it would’ve been incredible to give it control to select the various subject detection options. By default, this dial is set to film simulation control. But the Fujifilm XS20 doesn’t quite do that at all.Īlso on the side, you can spot another dial in addition to a pop-up flash control. The XH2s is a very capable camera and gives you all that control where it counts via buttons and such. But in reality, it’s just a more difficult version of the camera to use at a more affordable price. You might want to call it a baby Fujifilm XH2s. ![]() It’s also greatly missing out on the retro ergonomics that make Fujifilm’s cameras so iconic. But Fujifilm makes it so difficult to access that you shouldn’t even bother. Yes, it has scene recognition for animals and stuff. With all this aside, the XS20 does nothing for photographers that they can’t get with another camera. Instead, the camera body should be more than good enough for shooting video itself. A camera with a body primarily designed for stills shouldn’t be used for video and we shouldn’t be having to use a ton of extra additions for them either. But even so, I yearn for a Fujifilm video camera with Bolex style ergonomics. In that case, double-click ( Quick Menu) in the notification area on the desktop to bring the Shortcut Menu to the front.Īfter bringing the Shortcut Menu to the front, it is recommended that you move it to a place where it does not overlap with the Windows Sidebar.If you’re a vlogger, then the Fujifilm XS20 might give you something you care about with its vlog mode. ![]()
