X-T20 Black Body + XF 23mm f/2 R WR Silver Lens Kit
Mirrorless Digital Camera Kit
A familiar design comes together with a host of enhancements in the black X-T20 from Fujifilm. A mirrorless digital camera designed for multimedia shooters, it features a 24.3MP APS-C X-Trans CMOS III sensor and X-Processor Pro image processor. This combination makes it possible to record impressively sharp still images, complimented by the omission of an optical low-pass filter. It also provides an extended sensitivity range to ISO 51200, a 14 fps continuous shooting rate when working with the electronic shutter, and the ability to record UHD 4K or Full HD 1080p video. Video can also be output via HDMI to an external recorder or monitor, and a mic jack is featured for working with an external microphone.
In comparison to conventional pixel patterns, the X-Trans design more closely mimics the organic nature of film in order to produce nuanced colours and smooth tonal transitions, while also reducing moiré and aliasing. This is furthered by the inclusion of Fujifilm's Film Simulation Modes, which can be used for photos or videos, to imitate the look and feel of some of Fujifilm's classic film types.
The X-T20 also features a 91-Point Autofocus System. Using both contrast and phase-detection methods, the continuous autofocus performance has been optimised for improved tracking and accuracy, ideal for working with moving subjects. An Advanced SR Auto mode allows fully automated shooting with intelligent scene recognition for easy capture in a variety of settings.
An Interval Timer makes it possible to record with 1 second to 24 hour intervals, and a Multiple Exposure mode lets you shoot two consecutive overlaid frames, with the first frame shown on the rear LCD to help you align your second exposure. It is also possible to capture in-camera 180° panoramas simply by panning the camera about the scene.
All this is housed inside a classic body design, featuring a tilting 3.0" 1.04m-dot touchscreen LCD and 2.36m-dot electronic viewfinder. Use the LCD touchscreen for intuitive operation, focus point selection and menu navigation, while its tilting design allows you to work comfortably from high and low angles. Alternatively, the high-resolution electronic viewfinder provides bright, clear monitoring with a frame rate of 54.54 fps.
Dedicated shutter speed, drive mode, and exposure compensation dials provide intuitive control over exposure and shooting settings, while the physical exposure compensation dial now features a C position for an expanded +/- 5 EV range. For additional illumination a pop-up flash is built-in, and a hot shoe allows an optional external flash to be attached. Built-in Wi-Fi rounds out this feature set, allowing direct wireless file sharing as well as remote camera control from a linked mobile device.
Here the X-T20 is kitted with the silver XF 23mm f/2 R WR Lens from Fujifilm, a fast, compact and weather resistant wide-angle prime. Optimised for use with X-series mirrorless cameras using APS-C sensors, it offers a versatile 35mm equivalent perspective, ideal in a variety of shooting situations and favoured for street photography. This is complimented by a fast maximum aperture of f/2 that makes it possible to work in difficult lighting conditions and with shallow depth of field for selective focus techniques.
Optically the 10-element-in-6-group design includes two aspherical elements to control distortions and aberrations to produce clear, sharp imagery. A Super Electron Beam Coating coating has also been applied to minimise flare and ghosting. A rounded 9-blade diaphragm produces smooth and pleasing out of focus 'bokeh' areas.
Focusing is fast, accurate and near-silent thanks to an internal focusing stepping motor AF system which can achieve focus in as little as 0.05 seconds. Weather seals are placed about the lens barrel to protect against dust, moisture, and temperatures as low as -10°C.
The XF 23mm f/2 R WR Lens comes with front and rear lens caps, lens hood and wrapping cloth.
