- Buttons like dedicated ISO dial, metering, shooting mode etc.

- Viewfinder magnification (0,77 vs 0,62)

- Horizontal tilt of LCD screen

- Joystick for focus selection (instead of touchscreen though)

- Dual SD card slots (vs 1 slot)

- UHS II support (vs UHS I)

- 1/8000 mechanical shutter (vs 1/4000) 

- 1/250 sync speed (vs 1/180)

- Buffer size (@8 fps JPEG: 83 vs 62 frames, Lossless compression RAW: 33 vs 25 frame Uncompressed RAW: 27 vs 23 frames)

- Boost mode / vertical grip advantages: headphone jack, 11 fps mechanical shutter, 30min 4K, 100 fps viewfinder, AF speed, blackout time, shutter time lag, shooting interval (see here)

 

Looks like a long list, but considering the price and the fact that there are no differences in image quality, it is a really good value deal.

I agree with Opeteron. There are a some differences that will be important to a few people, but for most it appears the X-T20 is an extremely capable camera at a bargain price. Looks like weather sealing was left off the list, but that should be there too. I think it would be difficult to justify the price difference between the X-T20 and X-T2 for most people.

Wasn't that the same discussion with the X-T1 and the X-T10?

It may have been, I don't recall. There was more time between the releases that I don't think it would have impacted the sales of the X-T1 too much. To me, this one becomes more meaningful because the release timing is closer, people are still waiting for the X-T2 to be in stock, and for many the specs are more than they need.

If I was looking to upgrade it would be a very tough decision between the T2 and T20

 

The WR is no big deal (but nice) but the ISO dial and duel UHS II cards would be nice.

 

Here in the UK the T20 is up for pre-order at £799 and the T2 is £1399, that is a massive difference in price, does the T20

 

Does anyone know if the HSS of the EF-X500 works with the T20

I don't think you would shoot a wedding with the X-t20, because it only has 1 card slot. Most people prefer to use the other slot as a backup.

In theory you could use WIFI to back up. But the real reason we'd not use a T-T20 for a professional wedding shoot is that the T20 lacks that one essential feature for a pro.

I think it's all a matter of what you care about. How I interact with the camera is very important to me. I switched from Canon to Nikon years ago because I found the Nikon controls and menus to be more intuitive. And I switched from Nikon to the Fuji XT-1 (and now XT-2) because I loved having physical controls (dials and buttons) on the camera for most everything I'd want to adjust. The fact that the XT-20 takes aways some of those controls would be the deal-breaker for me. For that reason, if cost was a primary driver, I'd get a used XT-1 before I got a new XT-20.

      How to turn OFF the wifi antenna

      By jerryy · Posted

      It is really easy to find out if the wifi is on. Your computer or tablet or cell phone will have a network settings dealing with wifi, bluetooth, ethernet or “other”. Open that up and go into the section for wifi, and take note of which networks are listed. Turn on the camera and keep watching the list of networks. If your camera’s wifi is turned on, a new network should suddenly show up in your computer/tablet/phone’s network listings. Now go into the camera’s menus and start a wireless connection (the x-app or camera remote app can help you with this). You should see a network show up now. It is not hidden because it has to be visible so that your computer/tablet/phone can join the camera’s network to transfer images. Turn the camera off and that network should disappear. Turn the camera back on and see what happens.

      Sigma 500mm F4 + XH2S?

      By Stogursey · Posted

      I think my Fuji 150-600 F8 is a brilliant wildlife lens in terms of sharpness, portability and value but the small aperture does cause issues at the start and end of the day - even pushing the ISO as far as I dare, I can see shutter speed down to 1/25s - stabilisation isn't an issue but asking a deer to stand still for that is too much! In the same situation, an F4 would give 1/100s so the difference to the success rate would be phenomenal... and that's without the other improvements like shallower depth of field. I also find that the Fuji's subject detect AF gets pretty iffy in low light - I keep updating to the latest firmware but it doesn't seem to get any better. I was originally looking at the Nikon 500mm F4 E but good examples secondhand are still reasonably expensive but like-for-like Sigma lenses are around half the price. Reviews I have read suggest that they are as good optically, AF performance and IS-wise but you gain a few hundred grams of weight (but less than the older Nikon model). For a couple of grand, I can live with that. Does anyone have any experience mounting one on an XH2S? What about with the 1.4 teleconverter? It feels like that is pushing it anyway - hefty lens + TC + Fringer all sounds a bit...wobbly? It is on the Fringer approved list but I am wary about AF speed in particular. I had also considered looking for a used Nikon 400mm F2.8, which would be even faster (and heavier) and could couple with a TC to give 560mm F4 but again, it is that lens+TC+Fringer combination that worries me as being just too many links in the chain. Of course, what I really want is a native Fuji prime but that doesn't seem to be on the horizon - and if you look at what Nikon and Sony are doing, if Fuji do ever bring out a 500mm prime, it will probably be a small, light and cheapish F5.6, which is only 2/3 stop better than my zoom at the same focal length. Any thoughts anyone?

      How to turn OFF the wifi antenna

      By Greybeard · Posted

      The Amazon link is an annoying feature of this forum - its automatic and is applied to every post for advertising purposes. My question was - how do you know the camera wi-fi is on and requires turning off? I would have thought this would just use up the battery for no purpose if you aren't specifically using a function that requires wi-fi.

      I've made a point to push Angelbird memory products as they are the best performance cards you can get, The sustained write speed is important.
