Fujifilm X-T20 Assessment

The Fujifilm X-T20 pairs a 24 megapixels X-Trans CMOS III sensor with speedy X-Processor Pro. This combination delivers excellent image-quality when it comes to noise, sharpness and dynamic-range. Image colors and white-balance are also impressive.

This 1.5X APS-C sensor features an improved hybrid 325-Point Phase-Detect and Contrast-Detect AF system. This lets the X-T20 focus very quickly in good light when Phase-Detect can do most of the work but does slow down in low-light. While single-shot autofocus is quite fast, continuous cannot keep up with fast action.

The Fuji X-T20 is the compact version of the excellent X-T2. In getting a more compact body, the viewfinder has diminished size to 0.39" and 0.62X magnification, compared to 0.5" and 0.77X. and the X-T20 is neither weather-sealed nor freezeproof. Controls have been reworks but keep the hybrid digital and analog design, allowing a dual control-dials plus a number of direct dials which complement the aperture-ring found on most Fuji X-mount lenses.

PROS CONS
Very low image noise up to ISO 3200 Somewhat aggressive noise-reduction
Wide dynamic-range Low ISO 100 unreliable
Reliable metering Not Exposure-Priority
Natural rendition of image colors Misleading EVF and LCD preview
Good automatic white-balance Complicated Shutter-Speed control
Fast and accurate AF No direct ISO control
Instant shutter-lag with virtually no blackout Soft control-dial detents
Plenty of direct controls Minimal hand-grip
Instant video response Short battery-life
Excellent build quality Soft aperture detentsWith all current XF-mount lenses
ExcellentExcellent Excellent

With its advanced features and top-notch image-quality, the Fuji X-T20 is a powerful photographic tool. The two major issues with the X-T20 is the accuracy of the EVF and the ordering of bracketed images. Neither can be overcome unless Fujifilm provides a firmware update. The control-dials and aperture-rings on most Fujifilm lenses are also rather soft which makes it accident-prone but those who are careful enough should find this a rewarding mirrorless camera.
