Fujifilm X-T20 Review

Published Mar 21, 2017 

The Fujifilm X-T20 is a midrange SLR-styled mirrorless camera that sits above the X-E2S and below the X-T2. The X-T20 replaces the X-T10 and offers a host of new features, including Fujifilm's latest 24MP CMOS sensor and image processor, faster burst shooting, any improved -autofocus system, 4K video capture and more. In many ways, it's a smaller, less expensive 'little brother' to the X-T2, a camera that earned a Gold Award when we reviewed it last year.

The X-T20 finds itself in a competitive field of both 'mirrored' (DSLR) and mirrorless cameras. Buyers are likely to find themselves deciding between midrange DSLRs like the Nikon D5600 and Canon EOS 77D, as well as mirrorless models such as the Sony a6300, Panasonic GX850 and the Olympus E-M5 II.

Fujifilm X-T20 Key Features:

• 24MP X-Trans CMOS III sensor
• Up to 325 selectable AF points (169 of which offer phase detection)
• 2.36M-dot OLED electronic viewfinder
• 3" 1.04M-dot tilting touchscreen LCD
• 4K UHD video at up to 30 fps, with clean output over HDMI
• 8 fps continuous shooting with AF, 5 fps with live view
• 2.5mm jack for external microphone or wired remote control
• Dials for exposure compensation, shutter speed and drive mode

The X-T20 is more about the overall package than one or two specs that standout. That said, the 24MP sensor has proven its worth on the X-Pro2 and X-T2, and the AF system has also been refined in a good way. The EVF is a pleasure to use, though the touch functions on the tilting LCD are limited. The burst rate hasn't changed since the X-T10, but the buffer size has been dramatically increased. 4K video has also been added, helping to keep the X-T20 at an even level with the best of its peers.

And let's not forget the design of the camera which has become a trademark of Fujifilm's X-series models. The classic DSLR-style design isn't getting old (at least for this reviewer) and the build quality is very good for a $900 body.

Compared to...

Below we'll lay out the similarities and differences between the X-T20 and the Sony a6300 and OIympus E-M5 II mirrorless cameras, along with the Canon EOS 77D DSLR.

1. Hybrid denotes contrast and on-sensor phase detection.
2. Dual Pixel AF is a variation of on-sensor phase detection that has left/right-looking diodes on every pixel, rather than masked-out pixels on traditional PDAF systems.
3. 35mm equivalent
4. Live view battery life rated at 270 shots.

Lots to talk about before we really dive further into the X-T20. The X-T20 is remarkably competitive with its peers: sometimes an equal and other times surpassing the other cameras. The only area in which it falls a bit short is with regard to its electronic viewfinder, which is smaller than the other two mirrorless cameras (though it's larger than what you'll find on the EOS 77D). It's not weather-sealed like the a6300 and E-M5 II, so if you want that on a Fujifilm you'll need to step up to the X-T2, which is nearly double the price.

Our latest test scene simulates both daylight and low-light shooting. Pressing the 'lighting' buttons at the top of the widget switches between the two. The daylight scene is manually white balanced to give neutral grays, but the camera is left in its Auto setting for the low-light tests. Raw files are manually corrected. We offer three different viewing sizes: 'Full', 'Print', and 'Comp', with the latter two offering 'normalized' comparisons by using matched viewing sizes. The 'Comp' option chooses the largest-available resolution common to the cameras being compared.

The X-T20 shows us essentially the same image quality as the X-Pro2 and X-T2. You see the same resistance to moiré that the X-Trans sensor promises. Though, equally, it shows the same occasional glitching and slight loss in color detail that can occur as a side-effect.

As higher ISOs, the noise performance is very good. The results aren't directly comparable with other cameras as there's clearly some kind of noise-reducing process occurring (either intentionally or as a by-product of demosaicing), but there's little in the way of any further detail loss, so this is of little practical concern.

The JPEGs are the X-T20's strong suit. Sharpening isn't as sophisticated as the best of its rivals, but is generally very pleasing and avoids obvious haloing. Noise reduction can sometimes still smear faces and other fine detail, but in general low light/high ISO shots strike a fine balance between noise and detail - a bit less aggressive than Sony, for example, but maintaining more saturation. The color response (not just in the default 'Standard/Provia' mode, but across several Film Simulation modes) is excellent. Experience has shown that we tend to prefer the results the camera gives if noise reduction is dialed down a little, with somewhere between -2 and -4 being our favored setting.

Finally, it's worth being aware that some sort of artifacts (which we speculate is an interaction between internal reflections and the sensor's unusual demosaicing), can leave a slight cross-hatched 'texture' pattern in your images. So watch out for the very occasional purple-tinged flare in your images, and re-shoot if you see it.

---

Dynamic Range

The X-T20's dynamic range is much the same as its siblings'. The apparent higher level of minimum amplification means it's not quite a match for the Sony a6300, since ISO 200 is its lowest setting, but generally it is adding very little electronic noise to its images, such that you can brighten shots taken at low ISO with virtually no noise cost, compared with shooting them at a higher ISO setting. This can also be seen if you pull shadow detail up: it has a similarly low noise level to the best of its APS-C sensor peers.

Body & Handling

Created using Iconasys 360 Photography Solutions

Like its predecessor (and the X-T1/X-T2), the Fujifilm X-T20 has an eye-catching design that looks good in both black and silver. The body is made of magnesium alloy and was sturdy enough to survive a drop onto concrete (oops). While the dials on the top plate feel great, the front and rear controls dials are on the plastic side (the same is true for the door over the I/O ports). Buttons are on the small side, and things get pretty cluttered on the top plate – more on that below.

One unfortunate thing is that the memory card slot is on the bottom of the camera, making it inaccessible when the X-T20 is on a tripod.

In the Hand

The X-T20 fits well in your hand, for the most part. The rear control dial is within easy reach, though it would be nice if the front dial was a bit higher up. As you can see, the grip isn't terribly large, and if you want something more substantial, check out the optional MHG-XT10 hand grip ($115). This bulks out the grip while still allowing access to the battery compartment and providing an Arca Swiss-compatible mounting point.

Top of Camera

One of the things that makes the X-T20 such a pleasure to use are its numerous direct controls. Above you can see the drive mode, shutter speed and exposure compensation dials. The latter has a 'custom' position which lets you go all the way up to ±5EV by pressing the front dial inward. If you're using a lens with an aperture ring, that's how you'll adjust it, or you can set it to 'A' for automatic control. 'XC' lenses without an aperture ring use the front dial to change F-number (which is why you need to tap it in, first, if you want to use it to adjust exposure comp).

The release for the pop-up flash is hidden to the lower-left of the drive dial. Over on the right the shutter release (which supports a mechanical shutter release) is mashed in-between two dials and is on the small side. Just below it is a switch from moving from Auto to P/A/S/M mode, which is super-easy to flip accidentally. Since we at DPReview like to shoot everything Raw+JPEG, it's worth noting that Raw is not supported in Auto mode. The Fn button located at the top-right is tiny and difficult to press.

LCD and EVF

The X-T20's LCD is similar to what you'll find on most of its peers. It tilts upward by about 90 degrees, and downward by 45°. It's touch-enabled and allows you to tap to focus or take a photo, or select the focus point. The X-T20 does't have the 'touchpad AF' feature found on some of its contemporaries, so there's no moving the focus point with your finger when your eye's to the viewfinder, nor can menus be navigated with your finger.

The 2.36M-dot OLED viewfinder is really a pleasure to use. While it's not as large as the EVFs found on many of its more-expensive mirrorless cameras, it's noticeably bigger than the optical finders you'll find on entry-level DSLRs such as the Canon EOS 77D and Nikon D5600.

Customization

It's pretty easy to set up the X-T20 to your liking. There are seven customizable buttons (Fn 1-5, AE-L, AF-L) plus the rear dial. There are five pages of settings that can be assigned to each of those buttons – too many to list here.

The Q.Menu can be customized to your liking.	You can also populate a 'My Menu' tab in the main menu system with your favorite settings.

In addition to the buttons and dials, you can also customize the Q (shortcut) menu, and create a 'My Menu' that holds up to sixteen of your favorite menu items.

Auto ISO

The X-T20 has three different Auto ISO slots – most cameras usually have one. For each you can select the default and highest sensitivities and the minimum shutter speed you want the camera to use. Setting the minimum shutter speed to 'Auto' will take focal length into account when determining how fast (or slow) a speed to use.

Auto ISO can be used in manual mode for both movies and stills, and can be used in conjunction with exposure compensation, so that you can select your shutter speed, aperture and target brightness, then let the camera maintain them using ISO.

Wi-Fi

Fujifilm's Camera Remote software offers the ability to control the camera right from your smartphone, browse and download images store on the memory card and add location data to photos you've taken. The remote capture feature is robust, allowing you to adjust exposure, focus and a decent amount of camera settings.

It's worth noting that you cannot use the app in the landscape orientation. What you see above is what you get. Also, every time you want to switch 'modes' in the app (like going from geo-tagging to image download), you have to reconnect to the camera.

Video

While the X-T20 inherits many things from the higher-end X-T2, its video quality and features are not as robust.

The X-T20 can capture 4K UHD video at 29.97p, 25p, 24p and 23.98p for up to ten minutes, at a bit rate of 100Mbps. Dropping down to Full HD, frame rate of 59.94p, 50p, 29.97p, 25p, 24p and 23.98p are available, with a 15 min time limit and 36Mbps bitrate. The same options are available at 1280 x 720, with double the recording time and at half the bit rate.

Available video controls include focus peaking, manual audio level adjustment and clean HDMI output. As mentioned earlier, you can adjust exposure compensation while using Auto ISO in manual exposure mode. Since it has a touchscreen, you can tap subjects on which you wish to focus, which makes rack-focusing easy.

What you don't get are zebra patterns, a histogram and face detection (with 4K). The X-T2 offers face detection as well as F-Log gamma which is ideal for shooting in challenging conditions if you're willing to color grade the footage.

Video Quality

Where the X-T2 oversamples the sensor to produce brilliant 4K video, the X-T20 does not, instead sub-sampling but using just the full width of the sensor. By doing that, quality isn't as good, though there's no crop factor like what's found on the X-T2.

The results of how the X-T20 creates it 4K video is obvious in the scene above – the X-T2 is noticeably more detailed. The Sony a6300, which we listed earlier as one of the X-T20's main competitors, also supports 4K, and its oversampling again wins the day.

The X-T20's quality greatly improves when you drop down to 1080p. There, it bests the a6300, the Canon EOS 80D (filling in for the 77D) and the Olympus E-M5 II.

Overall the X-T20's 4K video quality looks very good. Since the clips weren't taken on a tripod they're at the mercy of the lens' IS system, but overall there's not much to complain about. While these clips would certainly look better if the camera oversampled, Fujifilm has to differentiate between the X-T20 and X-T2 somehow.

Autofocus and Performance

Not surprisingly, the X-T20 has a lot in common with the AF system on the X-T2. That is to say that it has on-sensor phase detection that covers 50% of the frame horizontally and 75% vertically. 

There are three AF modes to choose for both AF-S and AF-C: single-point, zone and wide/tracking. In single-point mode you can select from 91 or 325 points using the four-way controller. Zone AF lets you define a focus area 3x3, 5x5 or 7x7 points in 'size.' Wide/tracking mode essentially takes up the entire frame.

Here are all 325 selectable AF points. The larger squares in the center make up the phase detection area. The green focus point selection box can be resized, and moved with the four-way controller.

When using continuous AF, the zone mode will try to keep whatever is under that focus area in focus as your subject (or you) move around the frame. Wide/tracking is similar, except for that it'll track a subject across the entire field-of-view. We'll see how those two modes perform in a moment.

The X-T20 offers five different settings that define how it handles subject movement. You can't fine-tune it like on the X-T2, but most of the X-T20's peers don't allow you to tweak this at all.

Here are Fujifilm's descriptions for each of the five AF-C custom settings:

Set 1	Standard Tracking for typical range of moving subjects.
Set 2	Choose this with subjects that are hard to keep in the focus area or if other subjects are likely to enter the focus area.
Set 3	Choose this for subjects prone to rapid changes in velocity.
Set 4	Choose for subjects that appear abruptly or when rapidly switching subjects.
Set 5	Choose for hard-to-track subjects prone not only to sudden changes in velocity but also to large movements front-to-back and left-to-right.

Depth Tracking

To see how the X-T20 handles a subject approaching in a straight line, we used the generic 'Set 1' described above.  In this instance we used a 3x3 Zone AF area.

1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14	15	16

As you can see, the X-T20 does pretty well, keeping the approaching subject in focus for the majority of the shots.

Autofocus Tracking

To see how the X-T20 handled a subject that's moving randomly while approaching the camera we used 'Set 5', designed for 'hard-to-track subjects prone not only to sudden changes in velocity but also to large movements front-to-back and left-to-right.'

1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14	15	16

Generally this did pretty well and produced better results than Set 4, which prioritizes would-be subjects closer to the camera but is a little more 'jumpy' and expects slightly more predictable subject movement. The six mis-focused images included here were the only mis-focused ones in a run of 50 images.

Even in Set 5 the camera would occasionally switch from the cyclist and re-focus on the center of the scene. It would tend to find the cyclist again when they re-crossed the center. For most runs it would perform as seen above, with six slightly mis-focused images from a run of 50. The lack of the X-T2's custom option means you can't fine-tune the AF behavior if none of the presets gives you the result you want (there's no preset that gives the settings that gave us the best results with the T2).

The bottom line is that there's too much inconsistency in AF tracking performance to recommend the X-T20 for serious sports or action photography. If do a lot of fast action photography and are set on a Fujifilm camera then it's worth stepping up to the X-T2.

Autofocus tracking at close distances

As the X-T20 has a similar [안내]태그제한으로등록되지않습니다-autofocus system to the X-T2, we would expect its tracking performance to be similar, and indeed it is. Let's take a look at how it performs with the 23mm F2 lens and custom [안내]태그제한으로등록되지않습니다-autofocus settings at 'Set 5,' since we haven't strictly choreographed our subjects' movements.

As you can see from the video, the X-T20's tracking performance is pretty typical Fujifilm. The [안내]태그제한으로등록되지않습니다-autofocus points appear slow to respond, and not very 'sticky' with regards to their original subjects. As with the X100F, though, performance is better than the interface's visualization suggests, with around 70% of the shots ending up in acceptable focus (available above the video).

Although Fujifilm has suggested face detection is improved on the X-T20: now making it available in continuous shooting mode, but we weren't particularly impressed. It struggles particularly under dim lighting (the face-detect box will toggle on-and-off randomly unless the subject is staring right at you). For the fastest and most consistent candid shooting with the X-T20, we recommend Single AF (which is quite fast indeed) and using the touchscreen to quickly move your [안내]태그제한으로등록되지않습니다-autofocus point as needed.

Continuous Shooting

The X-T20's burst rates depend on which type of shutter you're using. With the electronic shutter the camera can exceed 14 fps (we measured 15 fps) with continuous [안내]태그제한으로등록되지않습니다-autofocus for up to ~22 shots (Uncompressed Raw + JPEG). If you'd prefer the mechanical shutter, the burst rate drops to a very respectable 8 fps (8.5 fps in our test) for up to 23 shots. While it takes a while for the buffer to clear, that doesn't prevent you from entering playback mode or the menus. If you want real-time live view while shooting continuously, you'll need to drop down to 5 fps.

Battery life

The X-T20 can take a respectable 350 shots on a single charge of its 8.7Wh battery. A high performance mode, which improves AF performance and LCD/EVF quality, will drain the battery at a higher rate. As always, the precise number of shots you get will depend on how you shoot, and getting twice this number is not unusual. However, these standardized figures do give a good idea of how much better or worse one camera's battery life will be than another's.

The X-T20's battery can be charged via the included charger or internally using a USB cable.

Cons

Excellent JPEG quality, especially color Good high ISO noise performance Build quality is solid for camera in this price range Dynamic range is very good, though not class-leading Numerous direct controls Responsive AF system with up to 325 selectable points High resolution EVF Great Film Simulation modes 8 fps burst shooting w/continuous AF UHD 4K/30p video capture Highly customizable Exposure compensation available when using Auto ISO with manual exposure External mic input Camera can be charged over USB connection; external charger included

Small phase detection area compared to peers AF tracking performance is variable Hunting can be an issue with continuous [안내]태그제한으로등록되지않습니다-autofocus in low light No histogram, face detection (in 4K) or zebra warnings in movie mode Auto mode switch can be flipped too easily, leading to loss of custom settings and Raw Joystick for positioning AF point would've been nice Fn button difficult to reach, even harder to press Can't access memory card slot while camera is on a tripod

Overall Conclusion

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. Image quality has improved, courtesy of Fujifilm's latest 24MP X-Trans CMOS sensor, and the AF system has been updated, as well, though its performance is inconsistent. The X-T20 also gains 4K video capture and clean HDMI output, as well as the company's latest Film Simulation modes.

The X-T20 sits amongst an very strong set of competitors, including the Sony a6300, Olympus E-M5 II and the Canon EOS M5. Some shoppers will also be considering compact DSLRs, such as Canon's EOS 77D and Nikon's D5600. Read on to see how the X-T20 performed.

Body and Handling

The SLR-styled X-T20's build quality exceeds that of what you'd expect from a camera priced at $899 (body only). It's made almost entirely of magnesium alloy, with very little plastic to be found. The dials on the top plate are solid and have just the right amount of 'notchy-ness.'

From an ergonomic standpoint, the X-T20 is generally well thought-out, though there's room for improvement. The shutter release is too small, the auto/manual switch way too easy to bump, and the Fn button is nearly impossible to reach. The buttons on the rear plate are also very small. A joystick for setting the focus point would've been a great addition. Coming along for the ride are a 3" tilting touchscreen LCD and a high resolution electronic viewfinder that's pleasant to use.

The X-T20 is exceptionally customizable, with seven buttons and one control dial to which you can assign nearly every camera setting. The shortcut (Q.Menu) can be set to your liking and you can also create your own 'My Menu' in the main menu system.

The camera's Auto ISO system lets you set the bottom and top sensitivities and shutter speed, and is focal length aware if you set the latter to 'Auto.' Exposure compensation is also available while in full manual mode for both stills and video. Speaking of video, it's worth noting that the X-T20 lacks a live histogram, zebra pattern support and face detection in movie mode. As one would expect in 2017, the X-T20 has Wi-Fi with an accompanying app, which is full-featured and reliable.

Autofocus and Performance

The autofocus system on the X-T20 is essentially the same as on the X-T2. It has on-sensor phase detection that covers 50% of the frame horizontally and 75% vertically. Among cameras with PDAF, that's a pretty small area but it extends far enough to frame things on the 'thirds' gridlines. There are 91 selectable [안내]태그제한으로등록되지않습니다-autofocus points, with 325 available for more precise positioning of the AF point.

When shooting with single AF, the X-T20 focus quickly and accurately. When using continuous AF, the camera does tend to hunt, particularly in low light, whether taking a still or capturing video (especially 4K).

AF tracking performance is generally good but not 100% dependable. It'll sometimes fail to lock on the subject and the X-T20 doesn't have the X-T2's ability to fine-tune the behavior to match your subject's movement.

In general use the X-T20 is responsive, from menus to image playback. It can shoot continuously at up to 14 fps using its electronic shutter (and single AF) or 8 fps with continuous AF. If you want live view, you'll have to drop down to 5 fps.

The X-T20's battery life of 350 shots per charge (CIPA standard), which is about average for a mirrorless camera. Kudos to Fujifilm for including an external charger to go along with the camera's USB charging capability.

Image and Video Quality

The 24MP X-Trans CMOS sensor on the X-T20 is very much a known quantity, and it delivers the same excellent image quality that we've seen on other models that use it. Its JPEG engine is one of the best out there, with very pleasing color and plenty of detail. Noise levels are relatively low when ISOs increase. 

The X-T20's 4K video quality is very good with, again, great color and a reasonable amount of detail. It's not as good as you'll find from Fujifilm's own X-T2 or Sony's a6300, both of which oversample, but for a $900 camera, most people will be very satisfied with the output.

The Final Word

The Fujifilm X-T20 isn't just a very competent camera; it's a competent camera that's fun to shoot with, unlike most of its peers. While things like its build quality and attractive design and responsive performance are all appealing, it's the combination of numerous direct controls and a great viewfinder that make the X-T20 a camera I want to pick up and use.

The X-T20 has shortcomings, of course, like a good-but-not-great -autofocus system, 4K video that's not as good as the best of its peers and a few ergonomic foibles, but in this reviewer's eyes, the X-T20 is a midrange mirrorless camera that should be strongly considered.

Conclusion

The Fujifilm X-T20 is a beautifully designed mirrorless camera that is a pleasure to use. It offers numerous direct controls, a high resolution EVF, snappy performance and excellent image quality. The X-T20's continuous AF system can struggle in low light, and subject tracking is inconsistent. 4K video quality isn't the greatest, and capture controls are limited. Despite that, the X-T20 is a first-rate mirrorless camera and a great value, to boot.

Good for Photographers seeking a stylish camera with direct controls, excellent image quality and a great selection of lenses.

Not so good for Action photographers and those requiring ultra-high-quality 4K video.
