- When we film our travels, we also want to enjoy the experience instead of being distracted by our gear. That's why I recently only brought the Fujifilm X-S20 and two small lenses on a trip to Hong Kong. In this video, I share my experience.

How do you ensure that your gear doesn't get in your way when you travel?
I already have a Viltrox 13mm F1.4 and a Fujinon 18-55mm. (I also have a Fujinon 70-300mm lens)
The other day I ordered a new Fujifilm X-S20 with kit 15-45, I'm waiting for a package. I bought it precisely because of its small compact size. I'm currently shooting with my old X-T4, which I think is a pretty good camera + Dji Osmo Pocket 3 Combo.
I using my x-s 20 all the time for travel
It is great small body
I really recommend this body from FUJIFILM.
NICE VIDEO again you doing great job .
Well Done
What’s your autofocus experience for video? People say it’s got tons of of issues
@TechWandererYT
I don't have a problem with autofocus on x-s20 I think Fujifilm did a great job with autofocus.
I HAVE THIS CAMERA I GOT IT BECAUSE OF YOUR FIRST VIDEO ON IT . AND I DIDN'T REGRET A SECOND ❤❤
Awesome 🙌
This was so helpful, thank you.
Great video man! So nice to finally see someone with basic photography skills doing a review of this camera.
The colours of the shots in Mae Hong Son were unreal!
I‘m currently in London with exactly the same combo X-S20 and Sigma 18-50. Works like a charm
What's the benefits of the sigma 18-50mm over the Fujifilm 18-55?
@@kradanime the constant aperture of f2.8 which I need for filming
Great video - in fact, in my next trip I was already planning bringing exactly the same setup (X-S20 / 13mm f/1.4 / 18-50mm f/2.8), plus the 55-200 (and maybe one or two Nocticrons, the 35mm and the 50mm). Thanks.
Thank you! I was hoping someone could do a video on using Fujifilm X-S20 for travel hybrid purposes!
great video. Thank you very much. Could you please express your opinion on what do you think about canon r7 instead of x-s20. In terms of image quality, stabilization, weather sealing r7 seems to be more preferable option. There is also adapter for ef ef-s lenses. So what are your thoughts on these two?
Fuji is amazing! I have an XS20 Fuji.
How's the AF on video? I'm thinking to wait for ZV-E10 2 in 2 months, or get X-S20... Mostly for at home TH-cam... But I'd love to have the Fuji for travel as well because I'm moving to Japan next year but I have seen horror AF examples of the camera losing focus in the most WTF moments that are hard to believe from a camera of that price point. Maybe it's better with latest firmware?
@@DatingDilemmaBreakdown
The Xs20 has a good AF, but with the right lens, in some lenses the focus keeps searching and sometimes gets lost at times. Fuji lenses are generally the most suitable for filming. For photos, both Fuji lenses and Viltrox lenses are very efficient.
@@infinitoreviews9365 Thanks! Hmm... it's a bummer that lens AF performance is mixed. I might give it a try, but it's definitely risky to buy a camera that doesn't focus on you properly LOL
Super !
Bravo !
How many time to make this video ?
🔥🔥🔥 this is awesome!
The XS-20 is getting the Reala Ace film sim
Oh yeah 😍
Purchased the sx20 with the 8mm prime and love it. Curious what aspect ration and dimensions in pixels this video is. Looks great on my phone.
I have another problem, Pascal. I still don´t know if I should admire (or not) all these people spending their valuable time behinde their expensive gear instead of enjoying the moment they are into. Sometimes I regret not to have taken more pictures or a videos.
That‘s up to you. Both has their ups and downs.
I think it’s possible to do both in a healthy way 🙂 sometimes I’m sad to not have taken a picture or video that will remember the moment.
The camera should only be the tool, enjoy the moment but don’t let the tool distract you from why your there. If that sits in your heart then I think it can be possible :)
Ah the existential crisis I go through all the time. Earlier I used to be trigger happy. Now I usually enjoy the moment. And then I take photos afterwards. Sometimes I visit a place with the primary purpose of taking photos. There I set my priority to take photos. every trip, every day is different. As a traveller I try not to give in to the psychological pressure of ‘take breath taking photos or your trip is ruined’ motto.
Great video! Footage from Fuji just has a great look ☺️ still beats the Sony in my opinion. Even side by side the Fujifilm just looks better 😁
looking forward to your comparison with the Sony 20-70 F4. Have a good time in Vietnam 🇻🇳
Love the channel - id say the issue I have with Fuji is ISO performance and AF. For that reason I’ll take Sony
Hi.
Amazing looking footage.
Who is shooting the footage of you & what camera are did they use?
Thanks.
Thanks, shot all myself with a9iii.
Hi, please read my whole comment atleast even if you don't reply.
I'm going to buy my first camera in a few months (hopefully 2 months), few months back i was very confused between a6700 and xs20 but now I'm sure to go for fuji. I am kinda confused about the lenses, sigma 18-50 and fuji 18-55. I planned to buy 18-50 for a long time but i plan to learn filmmaking in future so assumed OIS in 18-55 would help. Which one do you think is better? Does the OIS+Ibis really help compared to only IBIS.
(I also plan to buy viltrox 13mil, maybe after an year or 6 months)
Your reply would be really helpful. Thank you. Really really really good video, very inspiring. Love from India🌟
Excellent video, I bought the X-S20 after seeing your previous reviews. Were you able to try the fujifilm 18-120 f4 power zoom? I bought it for video and I am happy, but I see that most people speak badly about this lens. I will watch your courses since I want to improve my videos, thank you!
Thanks, I didn't try it yet. F4 on APS-C is just not my thing ;-)
Hey, I am a beginner and cant decide if i should get the x-s20 with the 15-45mm lens for around 1300€, or spend 1690€ for the x-s20 with the 18-55mm lens. I would be happy to get some advice from experienced people. Great Video and thanks in advance :)
great stuff! I have an xs20, can you plz tell me how do you activate crop mode, that would be so helpful? thank you
It’s called fix movie crop in the menu
How did you get the smooth panning shots in HK? I have an X-H2S but Im really struggling with getting smooth panning. Is it a certain setting or some technique? Great tip about using a phone as second camera. I usually use my samsung galaxy s23+ and its very capable.
I just pan with only IBIS. Sometimes I stabilize a bit more in post but simple pans are quite easy without. It's just training holding your hands still.
Did you film the XS-20 footage with 4k 24p? Or 6.2k open gate
Pascal, great video. Can you answer me 2 questions as someone who has used it for a while... 1) I know it's not weather sealed but what can you tell me about this and 2) the vlog mode
Never used it in the rain but always be careful with any camera... I only use M mode.
Hi, what camera and lense did you use in minute 12? The wobbling is very strong. I hope one day the stabilization issue is fixed one day. I am still waiting for the "perfect camera". Autofocus from sony, video tools from panasonic, body and codexes from fuji and stabilization from dji. 😅
That‘s on me… must have copied a color grade with the stabilization of another clip in Resolve. That happens sometimes. The original clip had a bit of lag from my hands, but no major problem. Didn’t notice it before publishing.
Have you tried the sigma 10-18mm?
It’s so hard to pick. I was looking into the a6700 because they say it’s an FX30 with a viewfinder… I want to use it for videos but for photos I definitely prefer Fuji, so I am stuck on my x-t4 for now, it’s not perfect but I know the camera in and out. As you said, it’s not about the gear and it’s best to start with what you have. Do you find any issues with the xs20 not having weather sealing or overheating? Cheers 😊
Didn't use it in the rain, so can;t say anything about it. But never had any overheating issues.
What focus settings did you use for those focusing on the islands? I struggle with those kinds of shots with the camera focusing on different moving points. Could you share your video settings as well?
Assign a button to Focus Lock to let the foxus stay where it is.
Is Fujifilm good enough for video and photo work? I'm afraid there will be a heating problem. Does it really heat up like the XT4? Because I want to use it in promotional films, events, concerts, model, product photography, etc. Sony and other cameras are expensive, Fuji is more affordable, but will I need to change it again in the future?
I have a hard time deciding between this and the a6700
Hello, please tell me, is it possible to shoot video in film simulation mode?
Yes
Would you sell a sony a7c(mark1) for the xs-20?
Yes, but don’t forget that you have to get new lenses. Maybe better get an a7Cii.
This setup makes travel photography and Filmmaking more fun: Dji Osmo Pocket 3, Dji Mini 4 Pro, Fujifilm X100VI. Small, lightweight, easy to use, but no telephoto lens option.
In 2024 what would you get. Fuji XS-20 with 15-45mm lens for 1400 or Panasonic S5 body only for 1000, looking for something hybrid that will last me couple of years.
I‘d get the Fuji, if Panasonic, I‘d pay more money and get the S5ii.
@@pascalbasel Thank you i appreciate it!
Hi Pascal, ich finde ja, Du hast Dich zu einem der besten deutschen Kamera/Video Influenzern entwickelt. So, wie auch ich ,benutzt Du ja auch die XH2S. Du hast schon einige mal erwähnt, Du stehst nicht so auf Grain...aber wie sieht das mit anamorphen Objektiven aus? Eigentlich stehe ich persönlich total auf den Look, aber es kommt drauf an. Die neue Serie "Shogun" z.B. benutzt anamorphe Objektive, da wird einem teilweise sogar schlecht. Die Sirui Objektive allerdings(Venus, Saturn) sahen bei anderen TH-camrn ziemlich cinematisch aus. Die haben allerdings alle Sony Vollformat Kameras im Einsatz. So, nachdem ich schon zuviel gesülzt habe...interessiert Dich das Thema überhaupt und können wir da in Zukunft was von Dir erwarten? Lieben Gruß Claus
Danke Claus 👍🏻
Ich mag den Anamorphic Look sehr und würde Ansicht gerne mehr damit machen. Allerdings gibt es mit solchen Objektiven halt nie Autofocus und da ich fast immer alleine filme, macht es das unnötig kompliziert. Also wahrscheinlich wird da nicht viel kommen, außer irgendwer findet einen weg da Autofocus rein zu bauen oder die LiDar Module werden reisefreundlicher.
What do you think about new x100vi? I’m deciding on what to buy for videography between these two
which card you are using and what was the camera setting ?
Sony Tough V90 128GB, FLOG2
I can’t decide between sx20 and a6700 😭 the Sony looks amazing but there’s just something about Fujifilm that I can’t shake
I feel you that’s why I use Fuji and Sony now 😂
@@pascalbasel I’m in the market for my first proper camera, find it hard to justify spending this much on one never mind 2 lol but in the future who knows. It’s just knowing which one to pick first
@@ciaran.laverty Both are great, lenses will do more for your footage.
@@pascalbasel I seem to like the same kind of lenses for both (sigma 18-50 2.8) and some faster prime lenses that are available on both. I’ll toss a coin 😅
I have Fuji xs 20 but u can go for Sony as there are lots of 3rd party lenses in sony. Cages are cheap n easy available. Autofocus is better. These are major factors. I would have gone for 6700 (but it was released later) u will not regret.@@ciaran.laverty
Great video as always, thank you. It's amazing how full frame evolved recently, a ZV-E1 or A7CII with a 20-70 f/4 is a lot smaller and lighter than anything equivalent from APS-C. You would need a 13-45mm f/2.7 lens on APS-C to match the depth of field, which in practice means multiple lenses like in your example here - full frame will also perform a lot better in low light. You can of course get fantastic results with APS-C but it's becoming a harder sell when you can get faster lenses, smaller/lighter package and better results from full frame (UK prices):
- Sony ZV-E1 (or A7CII) - £1.56k + £160 (28-60 kit lens) + £450 (Tamron 17-28) + £315 (Tamron 70-300) = £2,485
- Fujifilm X-S20 - £1.02k + £252 (18-55 kit lens) + £800 (Tamron 11-20) + £409 (Fuji 55-200) = £2,481
Sony doesn't have film simulations and film recipes. This is what a lot of people keep missing in their comparisons, and it's arguably one of the top reasons why people love Fuji cameras and continue to choose them over Sony.
@@wesleychapman9001 Recent Sony cameras like ZV-E1 and A7C II have user LUTs, so you can add in your own "film simulations" and access them with a swipe. There are ones that mimic Fuji but you're not limited to just those - only for video though, hopefully they'll add this for photos like Lumix did.
Mate, its amazing how what you said about lightness of FF set ups is completely UNTRUE. So, comparing weight of mentioned ff cameras with lens to crop fujifilm xs-20 with lens used in the video we have (in kg):
Sony A7CII + Sony 20-70 f/4 = 1.07
Sony ZV-E1 + Sony 20-70 f/4 = 0.82
Fujifilm X-S20 + Sigma 18-50 f/2.8 = 0.65
Not to mention sony colour science and zero fun using these. Yep, for videography its usable with slog and luts, but its just mehhh for photography. To each its own
@@andriibudim6996 20-70mm is equivalent to 13-46mm f/2.7 on APS-C, find me a similar lens on APS-C, I'll wait :) -- but all joking aside, once you find equivalent lenses, full frame is often lighter, look at that Fuji 55-200mm, compare it to the Tamron 70-300 on full frame, the FF is much lighter.
Take the kit lenses of 28-60 on FF vs 18-55 on Fuji (or that Sigma), full frame is much lighter. I recorded a video about this on my channel giving many examples of comparable lighter/smaller/cheaper full frame alternatives to APS-C if you're interested :)
Sony colour science has improved drastically in the past year or so and they shoot RAW, so you can apply any Fuji look you want in post, I'll grant you being able to have an already stylised look straight out of camera is important for some.
So let's see :
ZV-E1 + Sony 28-60mm = 649g
X-S20 + Sigma 18-50mm = 776g
Thanks for playing.
ZV-E1 body starts at 2070 GBP in the UK today.
Tamron 70-300 is nowhere near Fuji 55-200 in terms of picture quality, has OIS. Same as 18-55 standard kit zoom. Compare the real files and not specs.
I think the Sony APSC is just not interesting, I feel nothing looking at it. Fuji has the special look, both the photos but also the camera and small lenses itself. Only a small full frame like the A7C can rival it but then again that misses features like 4K60 and the A7CII costs €2k, so also no option. If there was a small, light full frame Sony with the hybrid feature set for under €1.5k with small fast lenses, then we'd have a case for Sony, but otherwise I don't see it, especially not for hobby shooters. Professionals have other priorities anyway, they probably rather walk around with a 1kg Canon uggle over a nice little Fuji, but as a travel or street hobby photographer your friends would get scared if you bring such a clunky Canon beast lol
you look like mr beast :D
This copycat xD
yo!, didnt expect you to reply😅, acctually didnt copy anyone lol, btw you were my inspiration in filming, so i got the a6400, and made a couple of films, check @tanfilms if you want to see it, im a big fan bro! continue creating fire and educational content, goodluck@@pascalbasel
