Fujifilm Premium Compact X20 Camera Specification

The Fujifilm Premium Compact X20 Camera is a sophisticated blend of advanced technology and classic design, engineered for photography enthusiasts who demand quality and portability. It features a 12-megapixel 2/3-inch X-Trans CMOS II sensor, renowned for its unique color filter array that minimizes moiré and false colors without the need for an optical low-pass filter. This sensor is paired with the EXR Processor II, providing fast processing speeds and enhanced image quality with excellent noise reduction, even at high ISOs.

The X20 boasts a Fujinon 4x optical zoom lens with a focal range of 28-112mm (35mm equivalent), offering versatility from wide-angle landscapes to telephoto portraits. The lens incorporates a bright f/2.0-2.8 aperture, allowing for impressive low-light performance and beautiful bokeh effects. An advanced optical viewfinder with a digital trans-panel displays key shooting information, allowing users to compose shots with precision.

The camera's robust design includes a die-cast magnesium alloy body, ensuring durability while maintaining a compact form factor. The X20 supports full HD 1080p video recording at 60 frames per second, complete with stereo sound, catering to dynamic multimedia creation. A 2.8-inch LCD monitor with 460K-dot resolution provides clear image playback and menu navigation.

Additional features include phase detection autofocus for rapid subject acquisition, a super macro mode for close-up photography as near as 1cm, and manual exposure controls for creative flexibility. The X20 also offers in-camera RAW processing and film simulation modes to replicate the look of classic Fujifilm film stocks. This camera is a harmonious balance of modern functionality and timeless style, ideal for photographers seeking a high-performance compact system.
