      No. This is essentially a video camera that shoots stills. The only advantage that this has for stills is the ibis.
      If you aren't interested in video, there isn't really a reason to consider this over other options.

    • @ZachTigue
      @ZachTigue Рік тому +2

      I was on a few back order lists before the X summit for the x100v. I cancelled them all and preordered this. I was going to use the x100v for photo and video and it wouldn’t have been ideal. This is a way better option for a small hybrid setup

    • @Paul_Rohde
      @Paul_Rohde Рік тому +1

      The X100V has a fixed lens. That makes the camera more compact (plus I believe inbuilt ND filter), but with the S20 you can put any lens on it you want. They are really different cameras with different feels & size & dials, but with respect to process, the S20 would have to kill it with the new processor with new focus engine, fantastic new focusing modes, battery life, video capability. It depends what you want to move up to.

      @@balboa0621 Wouldn't be for professional photography - I recently sold my Canon 600D and all lenses, so now I am cameraless (pandemic hit me hard, had to.) I'm now able to purchase but the x100V is obviously impossible to get anywhere. I could get a X-T5 and a pancake lens, but the difference of price is £2.2k (body and lens I want) vs £1669 (this new body plus same lens).
      So I'm trying to decide if it's worth it to get the XS20 and save money, or if it's not much of a replacement for the x100V, thus I should spend more money and go for the X-T5.

    Hey let’s make a camera that records 4K. And let’s convince them to purchase a stupid fan accessory because it overheats. Fuji has failed to deliver……….nothing. The camera isn’t even thermally stable.

    • @Paul_Rohde
      @Paul_Rohde Рік тому

      If you don't shoot high speed video, with other brands that boast high fps video, high bit depth etc specs, you always have to carry around extra thickness with an inbuilt fan, inlet and exhaust ports in the camera all the time. The fan accessory gives you flexibility for a slimmer body. The fan was made for the X-H2/S but by reports not many people actually need it, but it's there if you do demanding video in hotter environments. There's nothing much to knock about, and the fact they made the same accessory compatible is great. (The camera actually does 6K open gate too.)

    • @CoveringFish
