I am not currently an owner of a Fujifilm camera of any kind.  I am seriously considering the XT-20, however.  In terms of quality cameras, I have a very old Nikon D3xxx DSLR, which has been a good camera for me.  However, I noticed during Spring Break that my Pixel 3XL is taking better pictures. It is time for an upgrade.  I have also lost a good deal of weight, and I need to reward myself for that.  A good camera seems appropriate.  The bulk of what I've been using my DSLR for is vacations, including hiking.

At first, I was looking at the Nikon D5600. I even found a good 2 lens kit, both of which are upgrades over the two that I already have. However, I started reading up on mirrorless cameras. The Nikons are out of my price range; I'm a hobbyist, not a pro. I started settling in on either Sony or Fujifilm.  After doing a lot of reading, the XT-20 appears to be a good camera for what I want to do and at a very nice price point.  Unfortunately, I was unable to take advantage of the summer specials.  Hopefully, there will be some new sales.  My goal is to get a new camera by Christmas, as we will be taking a trip to Grand Canyon. I'm a geologist by training (though I do not work in the field), and I've never been.  I want to take outstanding photos.

    • Looking more like the next Fuji camera we see will be an X-T50 but it is still a rumor and no specs have been published.
    • Hey guys, The shutter on/off button switch may be loose on mine. After turning camera on and pressing the shutter/holding close to the area, the camera will turn off and say 'sensor cleaning'. This doesn't happen if I'm shooting via touch screen at all. Everything else is functional. Anyone else experience this before? Would love a much cheaper fix since Fuji Canada just quoted me $700 CAD to fix it, and considering everything else is functional except that part I'm not even sure why MPMB Main Board parts is being replaced😕 I got no explanation from them either.
    • As far as I know the firmware is not country specific. Are you sure that the filename has not been changed ( I am told this can happen with mac os). That's the only thing I can think of.
    • My x-t5 does not exhibit the focusing switch behaviour as you report it, so that is very strange and indicative of a fault. It does not matter whether the flash is attached or not. Once you set the camera for your studio flash, say 1/250th at f5.6, the camera, which is showing you what you will get at that exposure without the flash, will show a black screen unless the ambient light is brighter than what you would typically get indoors. That is why, as Jerry says, you have to set preview exp/wb to off. I have set a button for this.
    • I connected to FRAME.IO a while back and it works fine, but the camera wouldn't connect to the internet all of a sudden today and would get stuck on the reset screen, including initializing and even switching USB Connection mode. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?
