Fujifilm X-S20 XF16-50 F2.8-4.8 R LM WR Black (SKU FU-X20-1650B)

The FUJIFILM X-S20 is designed as an everyday, go-anywhere tool for photographers and content creators who want strong performance in a compact body. It delivers impressive results whether you are traveling, documenting daily life, or filming content for online platforms.

For the first time in the X-S series, the 26.1MP X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor is paired with the X-Processor 5 imaging engine. This combination enables fast still and video processing, more responsive and accurate autofocus, FUJIFILM’s renowned color science, and five-axis in-body image stabilization offering up to seven stops of compensation.

The X-S20 is also highly capable for video creation. A dedicated Vlog mode lets you adjust key settings via the touchscreen while recording for smooth, professional-looking footage. Product Priority mode shifts focus naturally from your face to objects held up in front of the camera, ideal for reviews or unboxing videos. Background Defocus mode helps you blur the background for a cinematic look with a simple touch.

Audio is well supported with two separate 3.5mm ports—one for an external microphone and one for headphones—so your sound can match your image quality. For live and online work, the camera can stream 4K at 60 fps or Full HD via the USB-C port, while the micro-HDMI output allows raw video recording to compatible external devices.

Handling, design, and connectivity

The X-S20 features a clean, practical layout designed for comfortable shooting and quick control. Larger dials and more pronounced buttons make it easy to adjust settings without digging through menus.

A bright 2.36m-dot electronic OLED viewfinder offers clear eye-level composition, and the 3.0" 1.84m-dot rear touchscreen LCD uses a vari-angle design. This makes it simple to shoot from high or low angles, or to turn the screen forward for vlogging and selfies. The screen can also be closed against the camera body to protect it and reduce distractions.

The camera includes a USB-C connector for tethering, charging, and data transfer, and supports both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. With the FUJIFILM XApp, you can view and transfer images, check Live View, adjust settings, and control the camera remotely. A high-capacity NP-W235 lithium-ion battery supports long shooting sessions, helped by the efficiency of the X-Processor 5.

26.1MP APS-C X-Trans BSI CMOS 4 sensor with X-Processor 5

The X-S20 uses a 26.1MP APS-C X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor paired with the X-Processor 5 to deliver smooth tonal gradation, rich color, and fast performance over extended bursts. The native ISO range of 160–12,800, combined with in-body image stabilization, improves low-light shooting and handheld capability.

The X-Trans sensor employs a randomized pixel array, allowing FUJIFILM to omit an optical low-pass filter. This helps maintain high detail and sharpness while limiting moiré and aliasing. The color and tonal response are designed to emulate the organic feel of film, producing subtle, nuanced images.

Continuous shooting performance tops out at up to 30 fps (cropped) and 20 fps (uncropped) with the electronic shutter, and up to 8 fps at full resolution with the mechanical shutter.

6K, 4K, and Full HD video capabilities

The X-S20 offers flexible video options for different kinds of projects:

• Internal 6K recording at up to 30 fps

• High-quality 4K recording

• Full HD recording up to 240 fps for ultra slow-motion playback

The X-Processor 5’s high-speed readout helps minimize rolling shutter distortion when filming fast-moving subjects. Using the micro-HDMI port, the camera can output 12-bit 4:2:2 raw video to a compatible external recorder for higher-end workflows.

A 3.5mm microphone jack supports high-quality external mics, and a separate 3.5mm headphone jack allows precise audio monitoring while recording.

Convenient video modes for creators

The X-S20 includes a set of dedicated video modes designed to simplify content creation:

• Vlog mode: Selectable on the mode dial, it lets you adjust key settings directly via the touchscreen while recording.

• Product Priority mode: Automatically shifts focus from your face to objects held close to the lens, perfect for showcasing products on camera.

• Background Defocus mode: Optimizes settings with a single touch to blur the background and create a shallow depth-of-field effect.

• 1080 LP mode: Uses a 1.29x crop at 50p or 59.94p to reduce processing load during long recordings. This can allow around 32 minutes of recording in 104°F (40°C) conditions, or up to about 78 minutes when using the optional FAN-001 cooling fan.

Advanced autofocus performance

Powered by the X-Processor 5 and Deep-Learning AI technology, the X-S20’s subject-detection autofocus system can recognize and track human faces and eyes, as well as animals, birds, cars, motorcycles, and drones.

An improved prediction algorithm maintains stable focus on moving subjects, especially in Zone AF and low-contrast environments. In AUTO mode, subject detection and autofocus are combined to keep your main subject sharp, allowing you to concentrate on framing and timing rather than focus.

Body design highlights

• Electronic viewfinder: 2.36m-dot OLED EVF with approximately 0.62x magnification for bright, detailed eye-level viewing.

• Vari-angle LCD: 3.0" 1.84m-dot, free-angle tilting touchscreen for intuitive operation, flexible framing, and the ability to close the screen inward for protection and distraction-free shooting.

• Ergonomics: A large right-hand grip provides stable, comfortable handling and is slightly bigger than the previous model to house the larger battery.

• Top controls: Dedicated exposure mode dial and two additional dials on the top plate for quick, intuitive control over key settings.

• Rear joystick: Allows fast selection of focus points, smooth menu navigation, and easy image playback.

• Cooling fan support: Rear mount point for the FUJIFILM FAN-001 Cooling Fan accessory, which attaches without cables and helps control operating temperature, extending 6K recording times up to around 78 minutes.

• Wireless connectivity: Built-in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi for image transfer and remote control using the FUJIFILM XApp.

• Storage: Single SD card slot supporting UHS-II cards for faster and more flexible file writing.

• Battery life: NP-W235 battery supports approximately 750 frames per charge, depending on shooting conditions.

Film Simulation and creative effects

Drawing on FUJIFILM’s film heritage, the X-S20 includes multiple Film Simulation modes that reproduce the look of classic film stocks, including: Provia, Velvia, Astia, Classic Chrome, Classic Neg, PRO Neg, Eterna, Eterna Bleach Bypass, Acros, standard B&W, and Sepia.

A Grain Effect mode can be applied to add a textured, film-like finish, especially noticeable in printed images. Color Chrome and Color Chrome Blue effects deepen color and enhance tonal response in areas of strong saturation.

FUJIFILM XF 16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 R LM WR Lens
Versatile zoom for everyday and travel use

The FUJIFILM XF 16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 R LM WR is a flexible standard zoom lens that suits a wide variety of shooting situations. On an APS-C sensor, it provides a 24–76mm full-frame equivalent range, making it ideal for landscapes, street photography, portraits, and everyday scenes.

A bright f/2.8 maximum aperture at the wide end supports low-light shooting and helps create pleasing background blur for portraits and detail shots. The variable aperture up to f/4.8 keeps the lens relatively compact and lightweight.

Optical design and construction

The lens uses internal zooming, so its physical length remains more consistent while zooming, helping maintain a compact profile. Paired with a portable camera body such as the X-S20 or X-T50, it forms a lightweight, travel-friendly setup.

The optical formula incorporates three extra-low dispersion (ED) elements and three aspherical elements. These work together to reduce chromatic aberrations and distortion, improve sharpness across the frame, and help keep the lens lighter overall. The lens construction is also weather resistant (WR), adding durability when shooting outdoors in changing conditions.

Linear motor autofocus system

Focusing is driven by a linear motor that delivers fast, quiet autofocus performance. This supports reliable subject tracking and works well for both still photography and video recording.
