Fujifilm X-S20 Review: The Vlogging Hybrid
Pros
- Class-leading battery life (NP-W235)

Cons

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.
