X-T20 Silver Body + 35mm f/2 R WR XF Silver Lens Kit
Mirrorless Digital Camera Kit
A familiar design comes together with a host of enhancements in the silver 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 35mm f/2 R WR Lens from Fujifilm. Designed for use with their APS-C format X-series cameras, it will provide a 35mm equivalent focal length of 53mm. It features a fast maximum aperture of f/2, making it well-suited to working in low-light conditions and for selective control of depth-of-field. A rounded 9-blade diaphragm ensures that out of focus areas are smooth and pleasing. A 9 element in 6 group design incorporates two ED and two aspherical elements to minimize distortions and aberrations, and it uses a Nano-GI coating to reduce ghosting and flare.
There is a physical aperture ring present for manual control, and it uses a fast and near-silent internally focusing AF system with the ability to acquire focus in as little as 0.08 seconds. With eight seals used in the lens barrel, it is weather and dust resistant, and capable of functioning in temperatures as low as -10°C.
