Well, it looks like producing 15,000 Fujifilm X-S20 cameras a month is not enough, as Fujifilm has now released a notice that due to high demand, there might be delays with the shipping of the Fujifilm X-S20 camera.
Down below all the details.
As reported by Nikkei, the initial monthly production for the Fujifilm X-S20 is planned to be 15,000 units.
I have no idea if that’s a high number or not.
What I know is that so far the Fujifilm X-S20 has not received the almost traditional “shipping delay due to high demand” notice, so let’s hope Fujifilm planed well ahead and they have enough stock to ship out all pre-orders on day 1 and to assure stable stock going forward (a rare thing in the Fujifilm world these days).

So, I thought I was done with Fujifilm X-S20 rumors, so much so that I even made a rumor recap video (from one of the most beautiful lakes in the Dolomites), but one of our trusted sources reached out to me now with yet another Fujifilm X-S20 rumor. And it’s my pleasure to bring it to you :).
According to our source (thanks so much), the Fujifilm X-S20 will record 4:2:2 and 10 bit internal video and have a 3.5mm headphone jack port.
Even if you are not interested in the Fujifilm X-S20, you have to admit that there is lots of power incorporated in that small body.
On paper the Fujifilm X-S20 looks very good. And if you are not a retro aficionado like me, it’s probably the best camera you can pick in this price range.

After I shared the rumor about the Fujifilm X-S20 having a dedicated VLOG icon printed on the PSAM dial, trusted sources reached out to me and informed me about some brand new “vlogging” modes that Fujifilm will introduce with the Fujifilm X-S20.
More precisely, they told me that it will have:
I have not been given any further details than that, but to me it sounds like the “product priority mode” could be something like the feature we find on the Sony ZV cameras.
And if it really is something like we find it on the Sony ZV cameras, then this is how it would work.
Usually when making talking head videos, Vloggers have their camera set on face detection. This means that when they want to show a product, they have to hide their face behind the product in order to disable face detection and let the camera focus on the product itself.
Well, with this feature, at least on Sony ZV cameras, the camera recognises when a product enters the frame and focuses on it, without the need for the Vlogger to hide his face behind it.

We can now unveil the prices for the Fujifilm X-S20 and the Fujinon XF 8mm f/3.5, which will both be announced on May 24 during the Fujifilm X Summit:
The Fujifilm X-S10 costs $999, so with the Fujifilm X-S20 will see a 30% price increase over the X-S10.
Personally I am not surprised to see the price rising, considering inflation, the still persisting parts shortage (as Fujifilm confirmed recently here) and especially considering the improved specs the Fujifilm X-S20 will have (such as an all new processor, even better subject detection algorithm than Fujifilm’s flagship cameras, great video specs, a bigger battery and so forth).
Sure, I was hoping for a more contained price increase, but on the other hand I also trust that Fujifilm wants to give us this camera at an as affordable price they possibly can.
So if $1,299 is what they’ve set (and you can be sure about it), then probably it’s because they really can’t go much lower than that, without making more compromises in terms of specs and performance.

Fujifilm X-S20 Rumor Recap
We can now share with you the first image of the upcoming Fujifilm X-S20.
Now, I’ve received the image in rather low resolution so I have upscaled the hell out of it using Topaz Photo AI. So, in case you see some artifacts and weird printed letters when you zoom in, then you know it’s because Topaz Photo AI enhanced them for us.
I will share with you also the original low res image as well as an image of the Fujifilm X-S10 top plate for comparison.
You can see that:
As for the rest, the camera looks pretty much identical to the Fujifilm X-S10.
The Fujifilm X-S20 will be announced on May 24 and of course FujiRumors will cover the Fujifilm X Summit live and non-stop. So definitely stay tuned on FujiRumors.
