Fujifilm X-S20

The Fujifilm X-S20 belongs to the model series with "modern" operation compared to the classic variants. This appeals to the target group of filming photographers and vloggers. However, they also benefit from many other improvements, as Fujifilm was able to improve the image quality of the X-S20 (with the same sensor) and increase its speed and endurance...

Anyone who believes that cameras with an APS-C sensor are only suitable for beginners could not be more wrong. In fact, the top models in this class can very well compete with their full-frame rivals. Fujifilm relies exclusively on APS-C sensors for its cameras and has several models on sale that are also interesting for demanding, ambitious photographers...

This is logical, as manufacturers no longer have to accommodate bulky mirror boxes in their housings.
