The Fujifilm X20 is a major upgrade to the X10, with a brand new 12 Megapixel X-trans sensor and EXR II processor providing improved image quality and low light performance as well as new shooting modes, 1080p60 video and faster continuous shooting. The new sensor´s phase-detect AF points provide the X20 with one of the fastest and most accurate AF systems around, at least for stills. The other big improvement is the viewfinder, now enhanced with a digital overlay providing exposure and AF information. The viewfinder isn´t as sophisticated as on some of the more expensive X-Series models and it´s by no means perfect, providing only 85 percent coverage and suffering from parallax at close distances. But it´s a big step up from the plain optical viewfinder of the X10. Few manufacturers have managed to achieve the blend of style, handling and technology innovation that Fujifilm has combined in the X20. With an Advanced optical viewfinder, super-fast hybrid AF and superb design touches like the combined zoom ring and on/off switch it provides the opportunitiy to get your hands on some of the best of what the X-series has to offer at a more affordable price. A viewfinder that displayed a 100 percent (or greater) view would have been even better and Fujifilm´s continued indifference to video is disappointing, as is the absence of built in Wifi. If these things bother you, then models like Sony´s RX100 II could be a better bet, but if you´re not bothered by their absence, the X20 remains a cracking enthusiast compact well deserving of Cameralabs´ Highly recommended Award.
