Fujifilm X-T20 Success

The launch of the (in many ways superior) Fujifilm X-E3 does not seem to have affected negatively the X-T20 sales. The X-T20 keeps up staying in the high positions of the AmazonUS ranking. In fact it is the best selling Fujifilm camera at AmazonUS at the moment.

So let’s dedicate to the little and successful X-T20 an own roundup… enjoy it :)

Roundup

The mirrorlessons guys are back. This time they compare the Fujifilm X-T20 with the Olympus OM-D E-M10 III. Here are their final conclusions… and make sure to read it all at mirrorlesscomparison:

Choose the OM-D E-M10 mark III if you:

• want a beginner-friendly interface with lots of extra features
• want better image stabilisation for stills and video
• want a wider selection of lenses
• want to spend less

Choose the Fujifilm X-T20 if you:

• prefer a camera with simple controls and more customisation
• want better autofocus for action and video
• want a little bit extra in terms of image quality (resolution, dynamic range and high ISOs)

LivingVertical had a long Fujifilm X-E3 live stream Q&A (1:26 hours). Check out the video above.

But since I know that many of you might not have the time right now to watch it all, and I’m in bed on my 9th day of antibiotics anyway ;), I took my time and made summary of his main points below.

Overall he is seriously impressed with the camera, especially with the autofocus. Just two major complaints: the EVF eye piece does not protrude enough to block light properly and given the small size of the camera, he would like to have more pancake options from Fujifilm, besides the XF27mm and XF18mm, in order to make it really pocketable.

Do you agree? Would you like to have more “Fujicake” or “Fujimarit” options in the Fuji X lens line-up, in the addition to the F2 “Fujicron” and the fast F1.2 or F1.4 “Fujilux” lenses?

I certainly would love them. A nice 23 pancake prime and why not, maybe even a pancake zoom, something like the Panasonic 14-42mm OIS pancake (35mm equiv. to 28-84) that I owned in my early mirrorless life, before my love story with Fujifilm started.

So… here is the summary:

The Fujifilm X-E3 just hit the market, gets great reviews (including the Gold Award at dpreview), but of course no camera on earth is perfect. So Kevin Mullins already has some considerations for the Fujifilm X-E4… you will find it all in the X-E3 roundup down below… enjoy it.

Fujifilm X-E3 TCSTV review

TheCameraStoreTV just uploaded their Fujifilm X-E3 Review. Check it out and enjoy it. One of the most interesting aspects, is how the new AF tracking algorithm works… and it seems to be great.

• AF tracking: Jordan played with it in low light and was impressed. Excellent focussing camera. Definitely a step up over X-T20.
• great walk-around camera
• when moving eye to EVF the X-E3 has a delay switching from LCD to EVF. Could be faster
