Top 5 Great Things You Might have Missed about the Fujifilm X-S20 and LOTS of X-S20 Media Slides

So, the Fujifilm X-S20 was launched a few weeks ago.

And as usual at launch day, there was a lot of buzz.

But in all that buzz, some stuff tends to go under that should actually get way more attention, and some stuff for some reason Fujifilm did not mention at all.

So, in order to celebrate this little wonderful camera, let me tell you the 5 things you might have missed about it.

Top 5 Things

  1. Double the internal memory of X-S10
    This allows for longer bursts over the X-S10
  2. Smoother EVF than X-H2 and X-T5
    The Fujifilm X-S20 can shoot up to 30fps (faster than X-H2 and X-T5). And, so I have been told, as opposed to the X-T5 and X-H2, at the respective highest fps the EVF runs even smoother than its higher end siblings showing no signs of jerkiness at all , and of course also no blackout (with full 100fps live-view). One of the advantages of coupling the new X Processor 5 with the fast to read out 26MP X-Trans IV sensor and a decent, but lower resolution viewfinder than the X-T5 and X-H2
  3. LCD Boost
    Compared the the X-S10, the X-S20 sports an almost twice as high resolution on the LCD (1,04 vs 1,84 million dots)
  4. 6K 3:2 Open gate
    The X-S20 can shoot 6K 3:2 Open Gate, which is not possible on the Fujifilm X-T5 and X-H2 for example
  5. Optional Fan
    Extends filming duration at more than twice the time. note that CineD and other reviews got great heat management performance also without the fan (at CineD the battery died before the camera even was able to overheat). But under tough conditions, the fan will help and extend recording time for more than twice, as we can see from the media slides I will share below.

So, down below (or at my dropbox) are the media slides. These are screenshots I took during the Fujifilm USA Tech Talk. There might be some data in there you might find interesting. Enjoy :).

Fujifilm X-S20: Initial Monthly Production of 15,000 Units

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).

LAST SECOND RUMORS: Fujifilm X-S20 Coming with 3.5mm Headphone Jack and Capable for Recording 4:2:2 and 10 bit Internal Video

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.
