Fujifilm’s X-S series of cameras is positioned as a versatile and F user-friendly camera, aimed at enthusiast photographers, as well as content creators and vloggers who want a powerful camera that is also simple to pick up and use.
The Fujifilm X-S10 was released by Fujifilm in November 2020 and offered a lot of the cutting-edge Fujifilm tech from Fujifilm’s larger cameras at the time, such as the X-T4, but in a more compact and easier-to-use chassis. The X-S20 shares this ethos, taking the processor and battery from Fujifilm’s latest flagship X-Series cameras.
Fujifilm has been on a roll recently, releasing the well-received Fujifilm X-H2 and Fujifilm X-T5, while its X-Mount series of lenses has matured into a full system of great optics. Can the X-S20 continue Fujifilm’s run of success?
Key features
The standout feature of the X-S20 is its enhanced battery, which Fujifilm claims can capture an additional 800 frames on a single charge compared with the previous version. This significant improvement more than doubles the total number of shots achievable. To achieve this extended battery life, the X-S20 now uses the highercapacity battery found in premium Fujifilm cameras, such as the Fujifilm X-T5 and Fujifilm X-H2.
