The editors didn't like
ISO 3200 and higher images are not so great at handling noise
X20 feels great in the hand thanks to solid mainly metal build, clever function implementation includes optical viewfinder with digital overlay, the fact the camera can be activated or deactivated via a twist of its lens adds a further point of difference
Certain rivals have both a larger sensor and higher resolution for this price, maximum aperture not quite as bright as some competitors’ f/1.4 or f/1.8 optics, smaller LCD screen than many
Still photos don't always have the same wow, as when the camera was left on auto we occasionally ended up with either under or overexposed shots as we'd expect from a £200 snapper, something that could be solved by a built-in neutral density filter on fut...
Picture quality on par with an SLR, Optical viewfinder with information overlay, Mechanical zoom ring, Quiet to use
ISO settings restricted in RAW mode, Settings wheel around the fourway arrows isn't on par with otherwise excellent build quality, Video quality isn't great
The Fuji X20 is one of those cameras that inspires enthusiasm and gets photographers' juices going. You can easily imagine X20 owners creating all kinds of pretexts to get out there and use it. The high ISO settings could be better, the menus may take a w...
Low ISO images are sharp and class-leading, retro style, great build quality, bright and sharp f/2.0-2.8 zoom lens, zooming optical viewfinder (OVF) with digital overlay outshines competitors, approximate hyperfocal distance display in MF
No ND filter, 85 per cent OVF only, OVF has some distortion, focus areas won't always display in OVF (unavoidable design constraint), AF-C not up to scratch
The Fujifilm X20 is not only the camera that irons out its predecessor's orb-related imaging issues, it's also the camera that pushes image quality up a notch to class-leading levels. The chunky, retro-styled build doesn't make the X20 the tiniest...
The Fujifilm X20 is clearly more than just a slight improvement on its X10 predecessor. Despite some issues with the viewfinder, noise reduction and exposure compensation dial, on the whole it offers an excellent level of performance.Standout features are...
Retro design, Manual controls, Film simulation modes, Viewfinder
No touchscreen, Creative filters can't be shot in raw format, Fairly limited zoom range
As it stands, the Fuji X20 is one of the most expensive premium compacts currently available on the market, selling for more than the Canon G15 , Panasonic LX7 and Olympus XZ-2 , at £499.99/US$599.95/AU$652. It's also more expensive than the Sony RX100 ,...
Abstract: Every year member magazines from the Technical Image Press Association (TIPA) gather to consider and vote on the top products of the year in 40 categories, ranging from cameras to tripods to software and printers. This year's selections represent technolo...
Abstract: Optics. Sensor technology will only get you so far with image quality if you don't have good optics. The Fujifilm X20 employs a "premium" Fujinon f/2.0-f/2.8 4x manual zoom lens with an effective range of 28mm wide to 112mm telephoto. The lens also can be...
Abstract: Stepping up in the compact spectrum are cameras that tend to be aimed at photographers who want full photographic control. Good low-light performance, the ability to shoot Raw, and accessible manual controls make these compacts a viable portable alternati...
