Doing the lord's work...thank you
Thank you, this dude is just yapping away
THANK YOU !!! had to
Watch at @ 1.5x
Every time I hear someone say something like "My Fujifilm XS 20 is my backup camera, it's only 1,200 pounds." I just can't help but smile. My main camera is a Sony a6000 and my backup is a $300 phone! 😊
Depends on the person, of course. I shoot weddings and editorial so when I'm on an assignment, I'm still using my DSLRs. I don't even consider my XS20 as a "backup camera" because I know it's not going to perform as well as I need it to on a job. It's more of a "for fun" camera for me.
Thanks, Jay. Have a wonderful trip. I think you made the right choice. I’ve got the X-S20 and for my work in studio right now, it works. I do wish I had bought the XH2s though.
Thanks Jackie! The XH2s just ticks all my boxes as a workhorse!
Hey Jay, what external monitor or monitors will be able to display 6k from the X-S20? Thanks
When the X-S20 was coming I thought it was going to be the perfect upgrade at some point for me from my X-T3. But, as an amateur, I only have one camera and I take it out hiking all the time. So, the lack of weather sealing scared me away. The other thing that wouldn't have been a deal breaker, but was a bit annoying, was the single card slot. It would be nice to save video files and raw files to separate cards. Or, to have that second card as a backup of the first. Maybe the next iteration of the -S cameras will have weather sealing. For now, the X-T3 is still fantastic!
I bought a 50$ rain cover that protects from dirt and rain and its fine. I would never trust even a weather sealed camera to bring into rain because its too expensive to risk it lol.
Thanks for posting. I too have been wobbling on the fence of "Sell or Keep the X-S20?". I recently purchased a nice used X-T4. When I got it - the body was sluggish. I looked at the firmware and the shutter actuation fields in EXIF. Firmware was original, and shutter count was under 50. A quick firmware update to present revision level and my (more or less brand new) X-T4 was an instant rockstar! Seems to me with all the killer specs and capabilities of the X-S20 that if I chill back and wait for the firmware to get on the wagon, it too will be a rockstar. I love my X-T4 because of the character. I love the tiny, easy, fun X-S20 even if it is a bit "meh" with it's juvenile firmware and character. Cheers and enjoy Asia.
Thank you and thanks for sharing! Appreciate it!
I am considering getting the Fujifilm X-S20, but the smaller EVF with such a minimal eyecup is giving me pause, especially since I have eyeglasses. Do you have any difficulty viewing the EVF with glasses? Does the minimal eyecup make it hard to view the EVF well in bright sunlight? Thank you and good luck on your travels!
I have glasses and use the XS20. No real issues for me. Go to a shop and try it
Hi sorry for the late but yes I agree with the other here. Go to a shop and try it out. I didn’t have any issues myself. You may well be able to change the eyecup. I’ve seen people do it
Fair reasons. I don't think I will ever sell it, though, I really love it as a daily carry or weekend travels.
It’s a great camera!
No way dude, few days ago I watched all your other x-s20 videos so I could made my mind about that camera and then today I saw you uploading this HAHA I understand your reasons tho, keep up the good work!
It’s definitely not because it isn’t a great camera. Horses for courses!
So you’re selling your backup camera? I can’t image going on a big trip and only brining 1 camera. Something can always happen to your XH2s
I’m bringing the X Pro 3 - don’t worry
@@Jay_Ducker Nice
Aside from your other reasons, it seems like a wise choice, because while the Fuji XS20 is certainly a great camera, it doesn't have a weatherseal, which could be a problem in wet or heavy rain, as you might find in Asian countries. Personally, because of the lack of weatherseal on the XS20 (and a few other reasons), I opted for the more expensive X-T5.
I went to Asia for around half a year (3 months in the tropics of Southeast Asia). I have to confirm your doubts about overheating. It was a constant problem when I was filming in 4k 60fps or even 4k 24fps. Usually after only a few minutes, the overheating sign turned on. For me, it was not a problem because I am not a professional making money with that so I could just turn it off and wait 5 minutes.
Great video, but when talking about the background defocus mode, you said it can make your background blurry even if you don't have a fast lens. That's not what the feature does; it simply sets your aperture to the largest it can be, but it can't make the background blurrier than your lens allows...
Ok thanks for that - I don't really use that feature tbh and I made an assumption. Next time I'll be more sure about what I'm talking about.
@@Jay_Ducker No problem, I agree it is not very clear and I personally think it's a kind of useless feature lol, aperture priority does exactly the same thing!
Jayyy, i was really hopin you are gonna make more contents with X-S20, but leaving a camera on a shelf collecting dust is such a crime tho...so selling it probably is a good option for light travel ( less is more i guess), still, its quite bummer to see it gone
Yeah I’m gonna miss it - less is definitely more though
You think xh2s(cmos 5) flog2 1250 iso cleaner than XS20(cmos 4) ? THX thanks for the reply
I think what should be the determining factor for a buyer, when discussing the difference between flog2 on each body, is the fact that the XH2s Flog 2 is 14bit, while the XS20’s is 12bit
Been thinking of getting this one. In case you want to/can sell it in Thailand, let me know. I might be interested to buy. I'm in Vietnam, but have to fly out soon anyway, I could stop by in Thailand to visit my friends in case timing + price is OK.
Unfortunately I’ve sold it mate. Definitely look into getting one though
@@Jay_Ducker Ah too bad, yea I only realized after posting the video is already old :D Hope you're enjoying or will enjoy Thailand :)
Xh2s 🎉🎉
How much for pls😊
Don't forget the 150-600 lens to take pictures of all the birds in Thailand :)
A bit big for me I’m afraid
Not gonna lie, I saw the title and with the recent release and hype on TH-cam that’s been happening, I thought to myself “Jay must’ve bought an X100VI…” 😂
But honestly if you’re going to be traveling for as long as you are, this makes a lot of sense. I love my X-S20 and what it does in such a small package. When the day comes that I have more paid photo gigs and I’ll need a camera that has a second card slot for that assurance on pro work, I’ll probably upgrade to the XH2S, but in the meantime it fits my needs and glad it did for you while you had it.
Send it to Werner Herzog, sure he would love it. Be an interesting comparison, Herzog with an xs20 and Mr Ducker with the XH2s. Make a film in 24 hours sort of thing. Happy Travels!
But, I just bought mine last week because of you😢
Good I’m glad - if you watch the whole video you’ll see why I’m getting rid of mine and why I might buy it again
I am the same way...buy cameras that I don't need. !!!! Fuji loves us
This video took too long to get to the point. Typical youtuber...
Agree. $ minutes in and has not said a single thing of interest. Cant be bothered tuning till the end
You are an image creator and are going out on a long trip and aren’t taking aa back up camera?
Don’t worry I’m bringing my Xpro 3 and Ricoh GRIIIx
@@Jay_Ducker Ha! Ok, sounds like you are plenty well backed up. I lived and worked in southeast Asia earlier in my career. It’s probably my most favorite region on earth. Hope you have a great experience.
@@craigcarlson4022 Many thanks!
@@Jay_DuckerDo you like the x-pro3 more than the x-s20? The x-pro3 is cool but it doesn’t even have an IBIS…
X-S20 user, love it to death - the last niggle that I have (with all Fuji camera) will be solved in the next firmware update (touch tracking for video).
But your reasons are very fair. About heat - I live in Brazil, hot as hell here, and did not have problems with overheating; the red signal appeared two times, but never had a shutdown. But in Thailand, I guess that the problem would be other - heavy bursts of rain, and the X-S20 is not weather sealed.
(about the use of a fan, for the people interested in the camera - I have the Ulanzi one, just used it for torture testing, and completely solved the torture test overheating, 38 degrees celsuis temperature, camera exposed under heavy sun. Other people had similar success with generic Aliexpress fans, you don't need the Fuji one)
I like to travel as light as possible too, hence I love the X-S20 size (specially with the Sigma 18-50 f/2.8). But most people also forgot that the X-H2 cameras are kinda small for what it packs.Maybe I get on in the future...
Regards!
Sold mine this week lol
Interesting - what was your reason?
MAkes no sence for you what you say. When I do a big trip then I go for a small, lightweight portable camera. Just my opinion..
You said 'FOLKSY', but the the writing on the image says 'FOLKYS'? 😜
THANK YOU! I completely missed that. Hard word to spell right for some reason
Minimalist's highlight: 03:59 - 04:11
Me who just bought the XS-20 because of your videos..... 0_0
Hey I’m glad - It’s a great camera! If you watch until the end you’ll see why I’m getting rid of it.
@@Jay_Ducker Hahaha no I was just joking, I get why you sold the cam, honestly if you were gonna bring one camera for all, the XHs2 is no brainer! But thank you for helping me convince to get into the fuji system, its been amazing so far, enjoy your trip in SEA!
Clickbait … 😏. I have the X-H2s and will buy a compact alternative/second body. X-S20 perhaps 😅. Or waiting for the X-T40. We‘ll see.
Not sure if there is a point to this video as you are comparing it to H2S ( pro camera ) .
Unfortunately I will have to unsubscribe to your channel because the two cameras are directed to different markets .
Nooooooo I was gonna buy one haha
You should! Watch until the end to find out why I’m selling mine
You should definitely buy one and yeah watch through the video. He gave excellent reasons to buy one and I agree with everything he said. It's an excellent camera. I love how great it pairs with my X-H2s. I sold my X-S10 and my X-T4 those also were great cameras but I didn't feel the need to have 4 bodies which essentially can fill the same need.
When we hv iphone or Samsung, then we dont need 2nd mirror less camera.. so there is no logic in buying 2nd camera for TH-cam content. One is sufficient
You can gift it to me 😭 I would love to have one and am dreaming of it
