Fuji X-T20 đánh giá Summary

If there’s one major takeaway regarding the Fuji X-T20, it’s that this little camera is a pleasure lớn use. Packing a bunch of professional-quality features into a very affordable package, it’s equally perfect for the hobbyist or pro. It features a 24MP sensor, improved AF system và tilting LCD screen.

Since the release of the Fujifilm X100 back in 2011, I’ve been a Fuji camera fan. The X100 changed how I looked at my gear, where I took photos và increased my willingness khổng lồ “play”.

I see the X100 as a “hobbyist” camera. Since then Fujifilm has released an incredible line up of hobbyist và professional “X-Series” cameras including 3 more versions of the X100, X-T2, X-Pro2 & the GFX 50S respectively.

As Fujifilm has entered into the “professional photography” world with this lineup I feel that they might have initially created a large gap between the hobbyist and the pro.

In my opinion, the Fuji X-T20 closes that gap by delivering the functionality and unique that the pros need while providing an affordable price, creative options và mobility that hobbyists want.

New Features

Here are the most relevant new features of the Fuji X-T20 when compared to lớn the previous X-T10:

Touchscreen control 325-point autofocus system Higher-resolution 24.3MP X-Trans CMOS III sensor (up from 16.2MP in X-T10) 4K đoạn phim

I’ve shot in Live View for a couple of years using the 5D Mark lll and the Fujifilm X100. One of the key factors that was missing for me was the touchscreen.

The Fuji X-T20 comes with an up and down tilting LCD screen that allows you khổng lồ touch focus, cảm biến shoot, swipe through photos & magnify. This helps with quick changes of perspective and angles during shoots và allows me lớn ensure focus and exposure are correct, và to see playback significantly quicker than the above mentioned cameras.

The Fuji X-T20 comes with the same auto-focus system as the Fuji X-T2, providing a wickedly fast 325-point auto-focus system for photos & video. I found this to lớn be one of the big factors that phối it apart from the X100.

The auto-focus tốc độ has been improved greatly on the Fuji X100F, but it’s still faster on the Fuji X-T20.

The new 24.3MP APS-C X-Trans CMOS III sensor paired with the improved image processor gives the user the ability lớn shoot at 2x the speed of its predecessor.

This was also a massive shift towards the “professional” camera because after years of talking lớn other photographers about the “mirrorless revolution”, the most common hesitancy was that they were simply too slow.

Finally, the Fuji X-T20 offers a bump in resolution over its predecessor, & can also shoot 4K and 1080p video. This can easily be chosen in the dial on the đứng top of the camera.

Other notable features include:

Electronic viewfinder with 62x magnification 4K đoạn clip shoots at up to lớn 30fps & HD video clip at up khổng lồ 60 fps – both are usable with the in-camera film simulation 8 fps continuous shooting with AF, 5 fps with live view 5mm jack for external microphone Multiple Exposure mode in the dial options

Fuji X-T20 Image Quality

Image quality in the Fuji X-T20 is truly something. During my first shoot with it I honestly had low expectations as I had been slightly disappointed in the X100’s “professional quality” 16MP files which I purchased for a few hundred dollars less around 4 years ago.

I shot the session just before the sun went down for a friend và just wanted khổng lồ see how the Fuji X-T20 performed. On the back of the camera the photos looked beautiful but I knew the true kiểm tra was when I edited them.

Once I started editing the files I quickly realized that this wasn’t the same as the X100. Not even close.

It turns out that the Fuji X-T20 has the exact same 24MP X-Trans III sensor và image processor as the Fuji X-T2 và Fuji X-Pro2, so in essence I was editing the same quality of files as the more expensive and professional cameras that Fujifilm had previously released.

Every RAW file is 6000 x 4000 pixels and packed with just as much sharpness, dynamic range and color as I’d expect from any professional camera.

In post-production, I spent less time culling and editing the files from the Fuji X-T20 than I did from my Canon 5D Mark lll, because of the accuracy of the auto-focus & the electronic viewfinder.

The SOOC files (straight out of camera) already had many of the tones và colors that I normally edited with because I was able to add +1 sharpening, -1 shadow tones and -1 highlight tones along with Fuji’s unique in-camera “Provia” film simulation.

This made editing simpler and a lot more fun during post-processing in Lightroom và Alien Skin Exposure as I generally do.

Fuji X-T20 Design

I was pleasantly surprised when I first held the Fuji X-T20 . At 13.5 ounces with the dimensions 118 x 83 x 41mm, I felt like I was holding the X100 or another point & shoot camera. The only difference was I could choose from the awesome selection of Fuji lenses now.

Somehow Fujifilm packed in professional chất lượng to a cool, minimal & lightweight design. The functionality of the thiết kế stays true to Fujifilm’s “retro” feel utilizing the usual dials on top and incorporating the toggle buttons on the back.

Besides the simple kích thước of the camera, the buttons and dials, LCD screen mobility and the ability lớn manually adjust the exposure triangle makes shooting with the X-T20 less about shooting & more about the creative process và photos.

In fact, the combination of its small size, light weight, excellent image chất lượng and fast auto-focus makes the Fuji X-T20 one of the best travel cameras I’ve ever come across.

Autofocus

The Fuji X-T20 has 3 “auto focus” modes. “Single AF”, “Continuous AF” & “MF” (manual focus). I found myself going back và forth between the “Single AF” và the “Continuous AF”, testing out the capabilities of each và how the camera responded lớn each.

In the over I found the “Single AF” khổng lồ be the best for me when shooting portraits with more still subjects while the “Continuous AF” was best for events, shooting kids & moving subjects.

The “Continuous AF” mode has a tracking feature that worked generally well. The “Single AF” speed was very fast and accurate.

Generally comparing lớn my experience with the 5D Mark lll, I was able khổng lồ shoot less and keep more photos because of the accuracy of the the autofocus system in the X-T20.

Viewfinder and Touchscreen

I found the electronic viewfinder (EVF) on the Fuji X-T20 to lớn be more functional comparatively to lớn the X100 due khổng lồ the refresh speed, & definitely more useful than the Canon 5D Mark lll (or any dSLR camera) in that it gave me the “live view” in the viewfinder.

This was helpful during my shoots in the middle of the day where it’s normally difficult to see the LCD screen on the back of the camera because of glare.

As someone who uses “live view” often, I found this khổng lồ be a great addition khổng lồ evaluate exposure, focus & composition at a faster tốc độ than I’m used to. Indeed, the EVF is a huge advantage of all mirrorless cameras.

As I previously mentioned, the tilting touchscreen was a feature that gave me mobility, creative flexibility, và gave me options lớn change angles with a higher “keep rate” percentage than usual. It allowed me lớn compose, focus và increased my visibility during shooting at twice the speed.

The simple “tilting” feature was the game-changer for me because it took away my need to lay on the ground or stand on a stool to lớn get well focused, exposed and composed photos.

Value for Money

When you compare the Fujifilm X-T20 khổng lồ its more professional older brother, the X-T2 (and similar cameras), then you’ll easily see that it’s one of best bargains on the market.

Sure you’re giving up a few bells & whistles lượt thích weather resistance, battery grip option, higher EVF magnification, lower ceiling shutter tốc độ of 1/4000 (compared lớn 1/8000 in the X-T2) but with the exact same sensor, smaller form size and weight, the ability to use the best Fuji lenses và coming in at almost half the price of the X-T2, the X-T20 is “pound-for-pound” one of best value mirrorless cameras out there.

I think this is especially true if you’re wanting khổng lồ create “professional” looking images but aren’t that concerned with the extras that tend lớn jack the price up!

Areas of Improvement

One of the first issues I had with the Fuji X-T20 was how SD card slot was strangely crowded. I have average kích thước fingers but as I started inserting & taking out the card I started khổng lồ wonder if someone with larger fingers would get frustrated with this.

Video is becoming more & more popular in the photography community so I was excited to see a jack for an external microphone hoping that I would be able to lớn use my Rode microphones with the X-T20. After further inspection I was disappointed to lớn learn that the jack form size was only 2.5mm. This is the increasingly uncommon smaller kích thước jack than our usual 3.5mm size.

As an artist I find this to be a huge flaw & hindrance for photographers who also shoot video. Another area of improvement regarding “jacks” is the lack of the “headphone jack” where you can monitor audio while shooting video clip but this is less important than the standard jack kích cỡ for the actual microphone.

I’m 5’9 and have always struggle lớn get those higher angles during shoots without a step ladder or stool. This was one of the reasons that I started shooting in live view so much. Although the X-T20 has a tilting screen that tilts up 90 degrees và down 45 degrees, I found that the downward tilting angle was where I was using it most and couldn’t quite get the visual accessibility lớn the screen that I truly wanted.

I think the screen could be able to tilt down khổng lồ 90 degrees rather than 45 and possibly a “flip out” & “swivel” the screen lớn take the X-T20 lớn the next màn chơi of versatility.

I lượt thích that my RAW photos have the film simulation options inside of the X-T20 but when I try to add the “advanced filters” like “miniature”, “toy camera”, “pop color”, etc. Then my files are automatically shot in the JPEG format. As a result, I will not using these filters but would love to see RAW capabilities paired with them in the future.

One feature of the X-T2 that professional photographers loved was the “weather resistant” body. Fujifilm omitted this feature in X-T20 possible due to it’s minimal, compact design. For the pro this might be one of the deciding factors when choosing whether the X-T20 is a good fit for them or not.

Battery life in mirrorless cameras has been a huge issue since their birth many a few years ago. They just simply don’t last as long as the DSLRs do. The X-T20 is no exception coming at a battery life of around 350 frames when using the XF35mmF1.4 R with the màn hình lcd ON.

Connecting khổng lồ battery issues, the Fuji X-T20 lacks the ability lớn use a battery grip so the photographer can simply shoot longer without having lớn change out batteries. This is another big difference in the X-T2 và the X-T20 when pros are comparing the two.

Fuji X-T20 reviews | Conclusion

The Fujifilm X-T20 has all the features that a hobbyist or pro would need at a price that both will love. I’ve yet khổng lồ see another camera that has this many professional features packed into such a versatile, functional & well-designed camera.

With a minimal amount of thiết kế flaws & the inclusion of the professional sensors, the Fujifilm X-T20 will be giving others cameras in it’s field a run for their money and challenge the industry to lớn provide professional chất lượng at an affordable price.
