Pros: Compactness, dials and controls, film profiles, photo quality, no or minimal need for post-production, good autofocus, type of adjustable screen (I hate those that open on one side as they are fashionable today), excellent optics, beautiful mainly metallic.
Cons: Lack of tropicalization, a bit of a poor grip
Opinion: If it were also tropicalized and with a little more grip it would be the ultimate camera. This grip thing is not a tragedy of course, but being used to the Canon m5 I find this one of the x-t20 less firm, but still all in all good. Otherwise, the x-t20 is a camera that I love and get along wonderfully with. The beauty of jpegs is truly incredible. I also shoot in raw because I prefer to make a little adjustment to the exposure in some cases or to change the film profile, but I often do all this directly in the camera very quickly and that's enough to have absolutely perfect colors and grays. Only the Canon 6d gave me jpegs of this level or almost but with almost half a kilo more weight. Auto white balance is almost always ideal. In portraits, the complexion is absolutely spectacular, especially with the proneg hi, but also in certain situations with Astia, Provia and Classic (it depends a lot on the type and direction of the light). In landscaping, Velvia, Provia and sometimes Astia have everything you need for ideal colours and contrasts. Black and white is the most beautiful I've ever seen. For fauna and birds, another genre I love, I still use the Canon because I don't have Fuji lenses for the purpose yet. In this regard, the optical park, even the third-party one, offers a wide variety of choice, of excellent quality, even a bit for all budgets and dedicated specifically to Fuji, without the need for adapters to have optics as excellent as they are oversized. Only Fujifilm can offer this peculiarity in the aps-c world and it is one of the reasons that led me to buy an x-t20. The autofocus works well. Also the resistance to high iso is great up to 800 iso, at 1600 still good, beyond that I don't go. Finally, it's almost as beautiful as my legendary Canon New f1 and it's an aesthetic and actually also practical nostalgic touch that has its importance. I also use fd optics with the adapter and there is a bomb haha. In conclusion, I am more than satisfied with the choice. A big thank you to Fujifilm for this little masterpiece. |
