At the beginning of the year I needed to send off my XH1 for repairs, and the Fujifilm website was warning of up to 3 weeks of turnaround time. Since I sold my XT1 last year I have been hankering after a second smaller camera body, but one with the same sensor, resolution, etc as the XH1. Enter the XT20.
I have to say I really like this little camera. It is quite small, verging on too small, hence the addition of a hand grip. It is easy to operate and with the 35mm 1.4 attached ways significantly less than my usual XH1/Xf16-55mm combo.
So this is now my everyday carry camera. It fits in most small camera/non-camera bags nicely, is hardly noticeable to hold in the hand and the images that come out of this combo are actually really lovely.
I am toying with eventually adding something like the Samyang 12mm manual lens or swapping out to the XF18-55mm for more versatility, but… but… I really like the compactness of having a prime or two, and the disciplines that brings with it.
