Fujifilm X-S20 + Sigma 10-18mm f2.8 Fuji X

Fujifilm X-S20

The Fujifilm X-S20 presents itself as a handy and innovative system camera with AI-based autofocus, remarkable 6.2K video and a particularly powerful battery. It is part of Fujifilm's renowned X series, known for its compact cameras and outstanding color reproduction.

The X-S20: The perfect camera for on-the-go

The X-S20 combines impressive image quality with unbeatable portability

.

Weighing just 491 grams (*1), it's the ideal travel companion. Whether it's spontaneous self-portraits or demanding photo and video shoots, this camera can do it all. Compared to its predecessor (*2), it has twice the battery life.

You

can take around 800 shots (*3) on a full charge, and the

compact camera is packed with advanced features

.

These include a high-resolution 26.1-megapixel X Trans CMOS 4 sensor (*4), the fast X Processor 5, and five-axis image stabilization with a range of 7.0 EV steps (*5). The innovative Scene Recognition autofocus, already used in the top-of-the-line FUJIFILM X-T5, uses artificial intelligence to automatically detect various subjects such as animals and cars, and a

standout feature of the camera is its new Vlog mode

. Combined

with the TG-BT1 handheld tripod and the option to connect an external microphone, this mode enables optimal conditions for first-class video recording.

First-class image quality

The X-S20 features a 26.1-megapixel X Trans CMOS 4 sensor with rear exposure and the powerful X Processor 5. This combination ensures high image quality and low power consumption, even lower than the previous model.

In AUTO mode, the camera not only automatically selects the appropriate setting for the scene, but also independently detects and tracks the main subject. This keeps the focus perfectly on the subject even in dynamic scenes, making it easier to shoot photos and videos in demanding situations. The

X-S20 offers a total of 19 film simulations that give subjects a particularly stylish look, similar to using analog film

. Among the

choices is the "Nostalgic Neg." mode, which offers high saturation and soft tonality.

Artificial Intelligence Autofocus

The camera's autofocus is based on artificial intelligence and uses a subject detection algorithm developed using Deep Learning technology. This algorithm automatically detects and tracks faces, eyes, and a variety of subjects such as animals, birds, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, airplanes, trains, insects, and drones (*6). With an advanced AF algorithm that calculates subject movement in advance, autofocus enables precise focusing with continuous autofocus (AF-C). This allows the photographer to fully concentrate on the moment of capture and composition of the image.

Convenient Handling

The X-S20 is extremely compact, weighing only 491 grams

.

It features a large handgrip that allows for a stable and comfortable camera posture.

Improved

battery

life

The high-performance NP-W235 battery can shoot around 800 photos, about twice as many as the previous model. The long battery life makes the X-S20 the ideal camera for photo tours and travel.

Effective image stabilization

Internal five-axis image stabilization (IBIS) compensates for unwanted camera movement and provides up to seven EV stops of sharpness improvement

.

Even at night, at dusk, or in other low-light situations, photos can be taken hands-free. The

X-S20 is equipped with a remarkably clear and sharp viewfinder image that has 2.36 million pixels and a magnification of 0.62x. Its rear touchscreen can be panned and rotated sideways, which also makes it easy to take self-portraits. In addition, the camera is compatible with the TG-BT1 tripod grip, which is specifically designed for vlog content production.

Videos in 6.2K/30p

The X-S20 allows you to record videos in impressive 6.2K/30p resolution in 4:2:2 10-bit format. It also supports advanced video formats such as 4K/60p and 1080/240p. With F-Log2 recording mode, videographers can take advantage of an expanded dynamic range of over 13 stops to further realize their creative potential in video editing.

Additionally, the camera offers the ability to record 12-bit RAW video files using a compatible Atomos external HDMI recorder

.

These can then be saved as Apple ProRes RAW (*7) at a resolution of 6.2K or lower and at frame rates of up to 29.97 frames per second.

Furthermore, raw video can be saved as Blackmagic RAW when used with Blackmagic Design Video Assist 12G series monitor recorders. This allows for a quality of up to 6.2K and a frame rate of 29.97 frames per second.

The camera is extremely compact, yet offers two 3.5mm jacks for connecting an external microphone and headphones. In addition, it features a new Vlog mode designed specifically for selfies, which can be easily activated via the top dial, and the

X-S20 offers the ability to use it as a webcam without having to install additional software. All that is needed is a USB-C cable to connect the camera to a computer (*8), and

movie simulations can even be applied to the transmitted image during streaming or an online conference. Furthermore, it is possible to adjust the camera settings even during an ongoing connection to the computer.

Create expressive images - anytime, anywhere - with the world's smallest and lightest ultra-wide-angle Zoom lens for APS-C cameras*1

The SIGMA 10-18mm F2.8 DC DN Contemporary is the world's smallest and lightest ultra-wide-angle Zoom lens for APS-C cameras*1, covering a KB-equivalent focal length range of 15-27mm. Its ultra-sharp optical design and F2.8 aperture allow photographers to create expressive images, anytime, anywhere. A unique aspherical lens element totaling four aspheres contributes to the lens' small overall size and outstanding image quality, while the

newly developed attachable lens hood ensures that image quality remains outstanding even under challenging lighting situations

.

The

close focus distance of 11.6 cm and maximum magnification of 1:4 allow for unique image compositions with wide backgrounds and appealing bokeh.

With its light weight of just 260 g*2 , fast AF stepping motor and minimal focus breathing, the lens can be easily mounted on a gimbal

.

So nothing stands in the way of creating stunning video content for social media and professional projects

*2 The data refers to the lens with L-mount.

Aspherical lens, special low dispersion glass.

The use of an aspherical lens with large eccentricity and large refractive index as the first lens element has enabled an optical design with a reduced number of elements. Combined with additional aspherical lenses and special low-dispersion glass, the lens produces high-resolution images while remaining compact and lightweight

.

Close focus distance 11.6 cm, maximum magnification 1:4

This ultra-wide-angle Zoom lens enables expressive close-ups at 10mm focal length and 11.6cm closest focusing distance. The maximum scale is 1:4, making it effortless to find expressive creative perspectives

.

Newly developed attachable and tulip-shaped lens hood

The new lens hood is included with the lens. Unlike traditional bayonet hoods that attach with a twisting motion, this hood simply slips on. The implementation of this new design reduces the size and thickness of the hood, making it coherent with the compact size of the lens

.

Dust- and splash-proof lens mount

The lens mount is equipped with a rubber lip to prevent dust and water droplets from entering

.

Designed to minimize focus breathing

The

lens was

designed to minimize focus breathing.

It succeeded in significantly minimizing the change in the angle of view caused by a focus shift, giving you a natural-looking focus shift when shooting video

.

Supports a wide range of camera functions

The lens is compatible with electronic image stabilization, aberration correction*, DMF and AF+MF of cameras from various manufacturers. Another advantage of this ultra-wide-angle lens is that it provides a wide angle of view even when the electronic image stabilization function crops the image somewhat

*Function available only in combination with supporting cameras
