Fujifilm X-S20 + Sigma AF 12mm f/1.4 DC Contemporary

The FUJIFILM X-S20 mirrorless system camera with AI autofocus and long battery life

The new FUJIFILM X-S20 is a lightweight and compact system camera with AI-based autofocus, 6.2K video and extra powerful battery. The X-S20 expands the award-winning X series, which is highly regarded for its handy and innovative cameras and unparalleled color reproduction.

The X-S20 combines high image quality and maximum portability. Weighing only 491 grams^*1, it is the ideal travel camera. It is suitable for a wide range of subjects from spontaneous self-portraits to demanding photo and video shoots. The battery life is now twice as long as its predecessor^*2. Around 800 shots^*3 are achieved with a fully charged battery.

The compact camera offers many advanced features such as a high-resolution 26.1-megapixel X-Trans CMOS ⁴ sensor*4, the fast X-Processor 5, and five-axis image stabilization over 7.0 EV steps^*5. The innovative Scene Recognition AF based on Artificial Intelligence, already used in the flagship FUJIFILM X-T5 model, automatically detects animals and cars, among others.

Another highlight of the camera is the new Vlog mode, which, in combination with the TG-BT1 handheld tripod and the connection option for an external microphone, offers optimal conditions for high-quality video recording.

The FUJIFILM X-S20 will be available in stores from the end of June 2023 at a price of €1,399 (RRP).

High image quality

The X-S20 is equipped with a 26.1-megapixel X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor with rear exposure and the powerful X-Processor 5. The combination ensures high image quality and low power consumption, which is even lower than the previous model.

In AUTO mode, the camera not only automatically selects the appropriate setting for the scene at hand, but it also independently detects and tracks the main subject. In dynamic scenes, the focus really sticks to the subject, making photo and video shooting easy even in these demanding situations.

The X-S20 offers a total of 19 film simulations that give subjects a particularly stylish look, just as if you were loading analog film. Among the choices is the "Nostalgic Neg." mode with high saturation and soft tonality.

Autofocus with artificial intelligence

The camera features a subject detection autofocus based on artificial intelligence. Developed using Deep Learning technology, the algorithm automatically detects and tracks not only people's faces and eyes, but also animals, birds, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, airplanes, trains, insects, and drones^*6 reliably in focus. The photographer can fully concentrate on the moment of capture and the composition of the image. An advanced AF algorithm calculates subject movement in advance, ensuring precise focus with continuous autofocus (AF-C).

Comfortable handling

The X-S20 is exceedingly compact, weighing only 491 grams. It is equipped with a large handgrip that allows a stable and comfortable camera posture.

The high-performance NP-W235 battery allows around 800 photos to be taken, about twice as many as the previous model. The long battery life makes the X-S20 an ideal camera for photo tours and travel.

The internal five-axis image stabilization (IBIS) compensates for unwanted camera movements and brings a sharpness advantage of up to seven EV stops. Even at night, at dusk, or in other low-light situations, freehand shooting is possible.

The X-S20 offers an exceptionally clear and sharp viewfinder image with 2.36 million pixels and 0.62x magnification. The rear touchscreen swivels and rotates to the side, making self-portraits a breeze. The camera is also compatible with the TG-BT1 tripod grip, designed specifically for vlog content production.

Videos in 6.2K/30p

The X-S20 records video in 6.2K/30p 4:2:2 10-bit format. It supports advanced video formats such as recording in 4K/60p or 1080/240p. With F-Log2, a recording mode is available that offers an extended dynamic range of more than 13 stops, providing additional creative potential in video editing.

In combination with a compatible Atomos external HDMI recorder, 12-bit RAW video files can also be recorded and saved as Apple ProRes RAW^*7 at 6.2K or lower quality and frame rates up to 29.97 frames per second. When used with Blackmagic Design Video Assist 12G series monitor recorders, raw video can be saved as Blackmagic RAW at up to 6.2K quality and 29.97 frames per second.

Despite its compactness, the camera has two 3.5mm jacks for connecting an external microphone and headphones. There's also a new Vlog mode designed specifically for selfies, which can be quickly activated via the top dial.

The X-S20 can also be used as a webcam. To do so, simply connect the camera to a computer via a USB-C cable; no additional software (such as FUJIFILM X Webcam) is required^.*8 During streaming or online conferencing, movie simulations can be applied to the transmitted image. Camera settings can also be changed during an existing connection to the computer.
