Fujifilm X-S20 Review: The Vlogging Hybrid

Pros

  • Class-leading battery life (NP-W235)
  • 6.2K Open Gate video
  • Deep grip and simplified controls
  • Dedicated Vlog mode

Cons

  • EVF is small
  • No weather sealing
  • Single UHS-II slot

Introduction

The Fujifilm X-S20 breaks from Fuji tradition. It ditches the shutter speed and ISO dials for a standard PASM layout. Why? Because it's designed for hybrid shooters and vloggers who want efficiency over nostalgia.

Video Powerhouse

Wait, 6.2K open gate? In a mid-range camera? Yes. This allows you to crop vertically or horizontally in post without losing quality. It also shoots 4K 60p and has a dedicated "Vlog" mode on the dial that puts all the important self-filming settings at your fingertips.

Endurance

The upgrade to the larger NP-W235 battery is game-changing. You can shoot all day without worrying.

Verdict

If you are a content creator who wants the "Fuji colors" but needs modern video features and reliability, the X-S20 is the one to get.
