Wow, it’s been 4 years since I got my X-T10. Getting that camera is what lead me to this channel. Just want to say thanks for all the tips you’ve provided throughout the years. There’s so much I’ve learned from Omar!
Just the video I'm looking for since yesterday. Thank you!
I bought a new X-T20 and the 18-55mm lens about a month ago. Just got through with assigning the function buttons the way I like them. Thanks for the help (and amusement) your videos have provided. Couldn't be happier!
I got an x-t20 2 months ago and i love it. Just need to grab one xf 27mm so i can take full advantage of it all day long. It is the epitomy of enthusiast's photography.
pifilos do you have a place where the pictures are shown?
sorry i am a beginner, what do you mean by the xf 27mm?
@@sherwinh1661 He means the Fuji XF 27mm lens.

I just bought one, Nov 2022, used, in an excellent shape, was Iove at first touch
Omar, great video! Your channel lead me to the Fuji ecosystemtem just after Christmas. I found a solid deal on an xt20. So far, so good. Enjoying the camera. Thanks for all of the info you provide on your channel. Keep the videos coming - a great resource.
I bought my xt20 because of you since 2017 and I still use it as my main camera!
Hey Omar,
Thanks for making another video regarding XT20. I have same camera and I am loving it.
Learning so much things from your videos. Thumbs up for it.
Thank you
This is crazy! I bought mine around the same time it was released too and remember watching your videos about it! Here I am, back in 2020, trying to convince myself why I should still keep mine rather than upgrading. Thanks for making this video!
Thanks for this Video. I got my XT 20 last December a gift from my wife for 744 CAD. I love it!.
I was thinking about a video like this! Omar and his sneaky mind reading abilities
After a recommendation from a friend and watching this video, I decided to pull the trigger on a used X-T20 w/ a 18-55mm lens. I fell in love with it right away. It’s my first real camera and it’s everything I expected it to be and more. Perfect starter camera. Your videos are awesome man. Thank you!
Your video presentations are just awesome Omar 😊
This was so helpful thanks a ton for putting it out
I bought the XT-20 w/ the XF 18-55mm back in January and I just had a grip show up in the mail today for it. I love it and the XF 18-55 that came with is a great lense, at least for my use. This was huge upgrade for me coming from a D3400. Couldn't be happier my with purchase!
xBigTUN4x the D3400 is a decent camera with an excellent sensor, mediocre AF system though.
I love this camera too, I have the same lens combo and its a great lens for soo many purposes
how much did you get yours for?
Where can I buy the XT20?
Great update review, Thanks Omar
I enjoy these vids. Thanks for the info on these cameras.
I recently bought the X-T20 with the 18-55, 64 card and a battery for $799. I also had the XT3 with the 16-80, but returned it. I much prefer the XTrans3 processor and how it resolves noise. I can’t explain it well... but this camera seems so much more filmic than the XT3. I also bought the 23mm f2 for low light. For these prices you can’t beat this camera. I am also 100% a D Pad lover.
Should I get the xt200? Or xt20
@@v4led Even years later now… X-T20 hands down. Happy shooting.📸
All about fun AND precise informations !
Thank you so much for your work.
Liked, subscribed and bell exploded !
Love all your videos, super interesting
I recently picked up a X-T20 with the 18-55 lens. Very happy with the purchase. I still shoot Sony because I have the glass but the Fuji is my go to street shooter.
Just bought one last month thanks to all your tips, man. Impressive camera. Thank u very much Omar!
Maaaaan i love your videos and you look so so so happy with your family, thanks and have a great live (if you have time one video about fujifilm filter) :)
In January I got the XT20 body only new here in the UK for £416 after heavy price discounting. Thanks Omar, all your XT20 videos convinced me it was worth taking the plunge into the Fuji world, thank you so much.
Thank you very much!! Great review!!
I just got mine 4 days ago, I'm really happy about it, great little camera!
Love the review I’ll keep my xt20 😊
Still have my XT20 with the 27mm following your recommendation in the past. As you say a great camera and combination to have in your pocket with you all the time
Just got one today. This vid is just perfect
Just bought it today and i cant wait to use it next week on vacation 😍😍
I bought the XT20 couple years ago and since then I am still in love with it. I don't think it's outdated at all. 😁
Hey Omar...thanks for the reviews...just made the jump into ILC and opted for this camera.
Thank you for this review🙂
The XT20 is awesome. I give one to my second shooter at events. It never misses a beat.
I bought mine (with the 18-5mm lens) on Amazon back in May. Two weeks later, they had none left. So glad that I got in just in time because I have never enjoyed using a camera so much and the results are great.
..and here's me giving the video a thumbs up from Malaysia lah :D
Brother your 20 is definitely battle tested! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
just bought a XT-20 used last week, will be arriving in a few weeks from now. Looking forward to use it
I love mine, it’s my only camera and plan to keep it as long as it keeps keeping on.
I bought mine in January 2019 and no plans to change it anytime soon. I’m not a professional and the camera is far better than my photographing skills. I think it’s far wiser to invest in better lens and try to squeeze every bit the x-t20 can do. And the x-t30 has no d-pad ... For new buyers on a tight budget or wanting to add some prime to the bag it can be a strong option against the x-t30.
got my x-t20 not too long ago, loved it every day since i brought her out of the shop
Bought it last year coming from an OMD EM10 Mk1. It's quite an upgrade and very much happy with the purchase. Still happy with it in 2020, as far as image quality goes its still pretty good for me.
X-T20 is a great camera. Still my favourite next to the Ricoh GR III. End of the day, the camera works as a camera, which is good. I use the 27mm and a huge range of vintage lenses. A camera is only as good as the operator. Using tripods, flashes and good lighting will make any camera shine. Anyways, good video, I agree with your review. Price is a total steal at the moment and it can still produce professional grade images. End of the day photography is still the art of capturing light, good light will capture good images. If low light image snaps are a priority then I'd say a smart phone like the newest Iphone or pixel Pixel 4 phone would have you covered. If you want to take a well lit professional photo the X-pro 2/X-T20 still has your back.
Getting one today and been watching reviews left and right and not many things are wrong with it. I am upgrading from a Sony a6000. Cannot wait!
I have the x-t20 as well, I love using it and just now got a second lens. The 18-55 has been wonderful. I am looking forward to seeing what the X-T4 will offer but yah, supper happy and would def recommend it for others even after all these years :)
Love all the nola shots
Dude, I recently bought the X-T10 for 150€ (160$) near-mint and it's amazing. Best value buy I ever did. Love it!
i bought one last summer for 100€ with 16-50mm lens, best value buy for me as well
Funny. I just ordered a used one yesterday! So excited. This is my first own serious camera. I enjoy street photography so I got the 35 mm f2
I love my x-t20! I bought it barely used on eBay from an American living in Tokyo, along with the Fujinon 18-55mm, after watching an earlier video of yours. Right off the bat, within a few days of owning it, I captured an amazing picture of an Arizona sunset and loved it so much I made a 20x30 print and hung it on my living room wall :)
how much did you get yours for?
I bought my X-T20 with the 18-55mm (because of you and another CZcamsr by the way) just before Christmas and it is a very good camera, like you said super for street photography and casual photo. I loveeeeeee the portability, carried it on me during my Christmas family party and snapped photos, something I couldn't do with my full frame Nikon. Although it is a 3 years old model, I do not think getting the latest model or waiting for the soon to be release X-T4 would make me a better photographer. The X-T20 is very relevant in 2020, after all, it is its year 😉
I use my XT20 as a secondary camera or small ish stash in the pocket when I'm out kind of thing, but mostly these days it's nearly permanently hooked up with a plug in power source to the iMac for when I'm live streaming and it does a great job 😁
Love mine. Got it in July 2019. I throw (well, place it) in my purse or backpack most days with the 27 or 35/2 lens, "just in case."
I really enjoy your channel and look forward to your content. I saw your image from Zion NP. I'm in Utah. If you ever get back out this way I bet it would be a stitch to go out shooting with you. I'm based in SW Utah. I'm very eager to hear your thoughts on the XT-4 for IBIS when you get your hands on one. I don't do video myself. I know how important it is for folks like you with your online content, but I think it would also be a boon for stills shooters like me. :-) Best regards!
Hey, man! Stumbled upon your video. Great review, it was simple and authentic. Is it weird to say, I feel like I gained a friend in you just by watching this? Hahaha. Anyway thanks for this! Really considering this and partner it with a 35mm lens.
Hi Omar! I watched all your videos! Great stuff! Please, can you test the fujinon 16 f2.8? Cheers
Exactly i am thinking about this matter..u released the video.😂😍
i bought mine last december 2019 and a viltrox 85mm f1.8, the shots are absolutely stunning! 😆
Damn. Bought one just two weeks ago because of your videos. Haven't watched this video yet. Still love my XT20, regardless of what you are going to say :D
I got my last week with the 27mm pancake Lens. Love the portability and the design
Totally agree with you, Omar. The X-T20 is a great camera. I have an X-T3, X-H1 and have been using the X-T20 for 2 years now. Despite all the merits of the T3 and H1, the X-T20 is my favorite camera. Great review, Omar, as always. Be always the same positive guy. Thanks.
Good review Omar! Also consider the sexier looking (in my opinion) rangefinder style X-E3 which has the additional swipe functions on the touchscreen in lieu of the D pad. I personally prefer the X-E3 and don't mind losing the D pad although the screen is fixed which some will not like. However, I would urge potencial buyers to pay only slightly more and get a used X-T2 instead for the following reasons: 1) Larger and easier to use EVF, 2) Weather sealing, 3) Option to add a battery grip, 4) better quality 4k (if that is important to you), 5) Slightly larger size makes it better to hold
Great video again Omar Cheers. I purchased the XT20 when it came out with the 18-55mm lens. And I Love It!!! It does all that I need with great results.
There has always been updates on cameras both film and digital promising this and that, better this and better than ever.
Look having a camera whichever is your choice, is only half of the fun..Its you as a photographer that makes the final part of the fun, what ever camera you use. Get to know how to use a camera and the the functions and anatomy. And your on your way!!! To taking great photos.
Again whether your using so called basic camera or the latest all singing one..Just ENJOY your photography..$400 bucks just Perfect. Thanks Omar Cheers Steve
I bought mine new last month for €699 including the 18-55 lens. Love it.
I just bought mine yesterday. Getting it next week Friday.
Hey Omar, your are a perfect teacher. Like to listen to your explainations, cause they come so natural and honest. Thank you.
By the way: I myself own a XT 20. Have a problem now. Maybe you know this: From the moment of activating, it takes ca. 10 seconds and than there comes a failure saying:
Intern Temperature to high. Even the whole body itself, the batterie, SD Card is not heated up.
Have you ever had or heard about this bug?
Great channel Omar! I’m thinking of upgrading my current Sony RX-100 III to a Fuji X-T20 with 15-45 kitlens and the new XC 35mm f2 prime lens. That whole package (including extra accu and sd cards) should be around 800€ and hopefully is a good and budget-friendly upgrade to my beloved sony compact cam....
I got mine about 3 months ago. and it's certainly worth it. I bought it to go alongside my 5DII and 24-70L. I already had am X-E1, but that was just for fun stuff.
Ya know what? I definitely use it more than my canon, and used it on half a dozen shoots so far and have added the 56mm/1.2 and 35mm/2 to go along with the 18-55.
Thank you for the video! : )
This is the camera i'm eyeing and saving up for to get this year!

Your Mum looks a very young 70 Omar. Look after her and show her loads of love.
Still love this camera! I also have dropped it MANY times and it works perfect and looks great! What a tough little piece of kit. Definitely gonna be hard to pry that camera out of my kit any day soon.
Just bought mine second hand. It's much more capable than I am!
I just recently got a x-t20 combo with a 18-55 2.8-4 for my wife for about 560€ and she's loving it, i also got her one of these cheap pu leather cases from Amazon so we don't need a bag, just carry it around everywhere. I was considering a x-t30 first but the lack of the d-pad and much higher price makes the x-t20 the better deal.
I just brought it for 600 pounds with the 18 55 new! . Such a gd package. Thanks for all your advice!
I bought mine new in Nov 2019. Loving it!
@Sean Milligan it's great. Love the image quality. Don't need more at all
@Sean Milligan did you ever bought it ? I am thinking of getting it as a first ever too :)
X-t20 is perfect travel or street camera !
Awesome pictures!
Definitely! X-T20 is still my baby!
Omar, I am a Sony A7RIII 24-70 G Master user watched all your videos on the XT-20 now I am a Fujifilm Fan! Bought the XT-20 with cheap 18mm f2.0 lens for our minimalist Disney family vacation and loved it! I found out I was using it more often because it was small and I had it with me all the time! I am shooting mostly JPEG and the pictures out of the camera are amazing! Recently, I picked up the XT-2 with the 18-55 lens for $850 on Amazon. Definitely, the Fujifilm XT-20 and XT-2 are definitely worth it and killer deal in 2020!
I got one x-t20 for 429$ (Second hand 1 month old) and i got 16-50 ii kit lens for 80$ to learn with this new camera, love your videos it’s help me to grow fast
I used to have xt20, but it had poor opportunities for video. Now I have xt30 and absolutely love it
Another winner video! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Dude I just bought mine last week!!
With the 35mm F1.4 😍
Gah I'm already so in love with it, it's the most awesome little black box I ever had
Why did you choose the 1.4 over the 2 if you dont mind me asking ?
@@JP-nx9rm because I like to take night shots, I needed a very wide aperture:)
Thanks for that cool Vid and for convincing me - Just got the T20 yesterday 2nd Hand (well, still sealed and 10 Days old ) for like 380usd, couldnt resist :-) Such a nice Cam!
In Fact, the absence of the Dpad (E3, T30) made the Decision really easy for me. Personally, it feels like they take away what i love the Bodies for - Direct Access to everything you feel you need. I hope, they gonna change their Route.
As having a T3 (and a T1), with the T20 i feel pretty complete. Will use it for travelling, Street photography, Backupbody. Just hoping, in a couple of Years, when i feel like needing an Upgrade, they already came back to their Roots... :-)
It's extremely good value for money second hand. If you're on a limited budget or just want to splurge more on lenses too you really can't go too far wrong with it.
These are the videos why i subbed
Thanks to your videos, buying an xt-20 in 2024 was the best decision i ever made. As a complete beginner, i just bought the 15-45mm xc lens to have zoom and keep the size down. I'll either get an xf lens or the laowa 65mm macro lens when i know how to use the camera better and the exposure triangle properly! So far, the camera has been easy to use and customise the way i want. Im taking a 10 week photography class, so that's a start.
It's still viable in 2020. It's a great camera and the sensor is fantastic. I found that I needed the grip. The discounts offered with the body and the 18-55 lens are definitely worth it. I love the 18-55 and the 55-200 lenses. I'm still hoping for a X70 upgrade.
My biggest plus is that it makes shooting fun. If I see the camera lying on the table, I want to pick it up and go take more pictures.
I switched to Fuji (from Sony) a month ago and X-t20 is perfect choice for this:
1. Low cost.
2. Great kit lens for start.
3. Now I can complete my fav lenses:
- Fujinon 35F2 now shipping to me
- Viltrox 85 will be next
- and finally Fujinon 16F1.4 as jewel in the crown ;)
And then, on next year I will buy body XT3 or XH1.
And 2021 still... loving it!!!
You are a funny guy. Thanks for the yuks and the great info. I could use your advice. is it safe getting an X-T20 refurb direct from Fuji? TYI JB
My first Fuji was an xt20. I’m now using an xt4. The other day I got a big scoff on my xt4 sensor, no idea how . I ran out of cleaning tools, and I went back to my xt20 until my stuff arrived in the mail.
I love using the xt20, it’s like coming home.
I’m a big dude but I love the small xt20 body in my hands.
Bought mine used on ebay a few months ago with the 18-55mm lens. Love it for travel and general use. Don't even mess with raw currently and do most of my minor PP in Googlefotos or Luminar4.
I have had the XT20 for 2 years and an XT2, both cameras, with a good selection of Fuji glass is all I need.
The mere fact that other cameras, Fuji X, have been released, does not of itself render this camera, or the XT 2 in any way obsolete.
They are capable of taking fine, beautiful Fuji in-camera, images for as long as I can hold them.
I still Have my XT20 and love it
Had one for a year, just got another traded in some old film camera gear I never use. Replaces my Canon DSLRs found it a great aid in terms of reducing my back pain. Missed the big advantage the kit is so light in comparison.
You are a good reviewer !
I have X-T1, X-T2, X-H1 and X-T3. And will buy an X-T4, so that my X-T1 will be relaxing most of the time. My backpack is 4 bodies with 4 lenses. But I feel I need a much more lighter backpack with lighter lenses sometime, so I'll probably buy two X-T20s and one X-T30 at the end of this year.
Becuz of UUUUU...I now own..xt20, xt2, 23mm, 35mm, kit lens, 27mm , n da 56mm.....I think I'm now set.!!!! Thx omar.!
I'm still rocking the XT2. So far I have not found a reason to upgrade yet but the XT4 IBIS is very tempting.
