When we reviewed the Fujifilm X-T10 compact system camera , we felt that its retro style was just right. Now Fuji has introduced the X-T20 which maintains that touch of retro appeal - and you can take that "touch" aspect literally, thanks to the addition of touchscreen controls this time around.

Exceptional image quality leads in its class; improved autofocus and operation compared to predecessor; great retro style; touchscreen controls; decent built-in finder and tilt-angle screen

Would still like a Pinpoint-style autofocus mode; are some cheaper competitors (Lumix G80 the prime example); no weather-proofing; one card slot (which is poorly placed

Fujifilm's XT20 is a highly satisfying camera which packs the quality and autofocus of the flagship XT2 into a smaller, lighter and more affordable body. By sharing the same X-Trans III APSC sensor and image processor, the photo quality is identical – given the same lens of course – and since the AF...

Best out-of-camera quality in its peer group, Good quality viewfinder and tilting touch-screen, Good continuous AF in the middle of the frame, Built-in Wifi with smartphone remote control, Silent shutter option; E-Shutter up to 1/32000

Short movie clips: Ten or 15 minutes in 4k or 1080p, Basic three-frame AE bracketing; No Bulb timer, Touchscreen underused compared to rivals, Microphone input uses 2.5mm jack, SD slot doesn't exploit UHS-II speed, No built-in stabilisation, Geo-tagging in app limited to one location per session

Fujifilm's X-T20 ($899.95, body only) exudes style. The retro-chic mirrorless shooter is loaded with physical controls, sports a touch screen, and packs a top-notch image sensor backed by a strong autofocus system.

24MP APS-C X-Trans III image sensor; 8fps burst rate; 14fps with electronic shutter; Big, sharp EVF; Tilting touch LCD; Loads of physical controls; Film Simulation options; 4K video capture; Wi-Fi

Omits in-body stabilization and weather sealing; No dedicated focus select control; Shooting buffer could be larger; 4K footage suffers from rolling shutter effect

Fujifilm's X-T20 ($899.95, body only) exudes style. The retro-chic mirrorless shooter is loaded with physical controls, sports a touch screen, and packs a top-notch image sensor backed by a strong autofocus system. But it faces some very stiff competition from a pair of Sony cameras, including the less expensive Alpha 6000 ($649.99), which omits 4K video but is an otherwise excellent performer, and the slightly pricier Alpha 6300 ($999.99), which adds weather sealing and matches the X-T20 in 4K capability. But both Sony models offer strikingly different approaches to controls and handling, making the X-T20 an appealing alternative for photographers who prefer the physical dials around which Fujifilm has designed its control system. Design The X-T20 ($989.99 at Amazon) shares much of its technology with the company's flagship model, the X-T2, but sells for nearly half the price. It also takes design cues from its sibling, with a look that harkens back to old film cameras, in either...

The mirrorless Fujifilm X-T20 delivers the same image quality and focus capabilities as the pricier X-T2, but drops weather sealing and some other pro features to hit a lower price point.

24MP APS-C X-Trans III image sensor; 8fps burst rate; 14fps with electronic shutter; Big, sharp EVF; Tilting touch LCD; Loads of physical controls; Film Simulation options; 4K video capture; Wi-Fi

Omits in-body stabilization and weather sealing; No dedicated focus select control; Shooting buffer could be larger; 4K footage suffers from rolling shutter effect

Borrowing heavily from the superb X-T2, the X-T20 offers professional power at a great value.

Great value; Impressive image quality; Strong lens ecosystem; Classic design; 4K video

No in-body image stabilization; Dedicated ISO dial would have been nice

Fujifilm's X-T20 takes the design and handling of the X-T10, adds many of the 'guts' of the X-T2, and stirs until a very competent mirrorless camera emerges. It offers the direct setting controls found on nearly all of Fujifilm X-series cameras that make it a real pleasure to use.

Still though, this isn't a bad camera at all; it's just that sometimes working with the metering may be tough and you should always ensure you charge the batteries.

After refreshing the premium end of its X-series lineup with the award-winning X-Pro2 and X-T2 , Fujifilm has focused on the consumer segment of the market again by introducing its successor to the X-T10.

The Fujifilm X-T20 is a new mid-range compact system camera that's smaller, lighter and crucially a lot cheaper than the flagship X-T2 model. The X-T20 features a 24.3 megapixel APS-C sized X-Trans CMOS III sensor, 4K video recording, AF-C Custom Settings where you can choose from five AF-C presets,...

Superb image quality; Fast autofocus and good handling; Reasonably affordable; Touchscreen a nice new addition;

Not weatherproof;
