The Fujifilm X-T20 is a mirrorless camera that updates the X-T10 and comes equipped with a tilting LCD touchscreen, a new 24.3-megapixel sensor and 4K video. It actually shares a lot of the high-spec features from the X-T2, including the same sensor and 4K video recording at 100mbps, although the X-T2 supports up to 30 minutes of video whereas the X-T20 recording time is limited. The X-T20 is available in black and silver at £799 body only, £899 for a kit with XC16-50mm lens and £1099 for a kit with the XF18-55mm lens.

Fujifilm X-T20 Features

The Fujifilm X-T20 offers the 24.3 megapixel APS-C X-Trans CMOS III sensor, as used in the X-T2 and X-Pro2, which means the camera offers an ISO range from ISO100 to ISO51200, as well as offering 4K video recording, and improved AF points with 91 AF points - 49 of these are phase detection focus points, built-in to the sensor.

The X-T20 has classic SLR styling, particularly in silver and black, and on the back you'll find the camera's electronic viewfinder (EVF), as well as a 3inch tilting touch-screen. The electronic viewfinder features a high resolution of 2.36m dots, and 0.62x magnification, as well as an eye-sensor so that the camera can tell when you are holding the camera up to your face. This means the camera will automatically switch between the EVF and screen when needed.

Fujifilm X-T20 Handling

The X-T20 is smaller than the X-T2, but still has a premium build quality, with top and bottom plates made out of die-case magnesium alloy, as well as aluminium dials, making the camera feel good to use. The quality of lenses available also feel good, with solid construction, and most of them featuring metal barrels. The camera isn't weather-sealed, unlike the X-T2.

The design has barely changed since the X-T10, and the camera keeps the same rubber grip at the front, as well as the large thumb grip on the back. This makes the camera feel good to hold. However, one of the function buttons has been removed from the back of the camera, and there is now a top function button. The drive dial now has a video option making it quicker to switch from shooting stills to video. 

The camera has full manual controls, with shutter and aperture dials, plus an exposure compensation dial. With front and rear control dials, as well as direct manual controls, the camera is intuitive to use, and is a pleasing experience, feeling like a true photographers camera, rather than an electronic box of tricks. A switch can put the camera into Auto mode so that even if you've somehow got the camera settings wrong, you can still take photos, and let the camera work out the settings for correct exposure. 

The X-T20 has a very similar appearance to the X-T10 and those who are fans of the retro-styling many manufacturers are now using won't be disappointed. 

The X-T20 is responsive, focus is quick and the tilting LCD touchscreen makes it easy to set the focus point. Alternatively, you can switch this feature off if you'd prefer not to use it. The viewfinder looks good and the colours match those seen on the LCD screen, although if you've used the X-T2 or X-Pro2, then you may find the viewfinder a little small in comparison. If you haven't, then the viewfinder will seem perfectly fine.  

Inside the X-T20, the AF algorithm has had a rework so the camera tracks subjects much more easily and the camera starts up quicker, too. AF features phase-detection in the central 40% of the sensor (with 49 phase-detection focus points), and there are a total of 91 focus points normally, which can be expanded to 325. There are also the same continuous AF case types, as found on the X-T2.

Menus – The X-T20 features the recently updated menu system, and the layout of options and controls is logical, with each main set of options kept in it's own section. There's also a "MyMenu" section, where you can store your favourite settings. The Q button gives quick access to some of the most common settings, on the rear screen.

Wi-Fi features - Using Fujifilm's Remote Camera app, available for iOS and Android devices, you can remotely control and shoot with the camera as well as start/stop video recording. You can select photos to transfer to the smartphone or tablet, or receive photos sent from the camera. In addition, you can use the app to add GPS / geotagging information to photos. The app is quite easy to use and has a good level of options when shooting remotely. 

Battery life - Battery life is rated at 350 shots according to Fujifilm / CIPA test results, which is average for a mirrorless class of camera, and we'd recommend a spare battery if you plan on shooting more. The memory card and battery compartment can be found underneath next to the tripod socket, which is not centrally aligned - due to the position of the tripod socket you'll need to take the camera off your tripod mount if you want to change the memory card or battery.
