One of the standout upgrades in the X-S20 is the inclusion of the fifth-generation X-processor 5, as well as the ability to capture 6.2K ‘open gate’ raw video. The camera also boasts improved battery life, an enhanced AI-powered subject tracking autofocus system, and a dedicated Vlog shooting mode for simplified content creation. These additions make the X-S20 an appealing option for photography enthusiasts seeking versatile features.
However, the X-S20 comes with a notable price increase compared to its predecessor, raising questions about the necessity of certain enhancements. While the X-S10 was already considered a top-tier camera for beginners in terms of both features and affordability, the X-S20 enters a peculiar price point between beginner and advanced cameras. The higher price tag may deter some beginners from investing in this particular model.
