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.
The compatibility of tethered shooting with FUJIFILM X-S20 is added.
The additional function below can be used.
Backup/restore of camera setting for tethered shooting.
Tethered shooting via USB or Wi-Fi.
Other minor bugs have been fixed [only for the Windows version]
I agree with Johnnie from CineD, when he says that the X-S20 is the best camera you can get at this price. Fujifilm did pack lots of stuff in it, and even some stuff we don’t find on higher end Fujifilm cameras.
For example, the X-S20 can shoot 6K/30p 3:2 open gate (X-T5 and X-H2 can not). It has a headphone jack (my X-T5 has not). It has fully automatic subject detection mode (not even the high end X-H2S has that). It can be used as a webcam without the need of the Fujifilm X Webcam software and more.
There is lots to love about the X-S20.
And there is lots to love also about the Fujinon XF8mmF3.5, a wonderful little lens capable of resolving all the 40MP of the X-Trans V HR sensor.
Also the XApp is a nice fresh start for Fujifilm, it comes with some lovely new features like activity and timeline, which are kind of a diary of your photographic activity and I think this App is a great new start and I hope in that it will extended with new features in future (RAW transfer anyone)?
But all this goodness could not help me to get rid of that feeling of disappointment. And here are 3 reasons why.
