Besides being compact and lightweight (only 491g! :O), the X-S20 also features AI-based subject detection autofocus (AF) and is capable of recording 6.2K/30P videos. Nice! :D

The newly-adopted high-capacity battery that comes with the camera also enables users to take approximately 800 frames and keep shooting for long hours, which is ideal for travellers and those who are on the go. 

With the premium image quality you get from this camera, it can cater to a variety of shooting styles, ranging from self-portraits to fully-fledged photography and videography. 

Apart from that, the X-S20 also has a new Vlog Mode, making it convenient and easy for those who love taking videos

What's cool about shooting in Vlog Mode is that you can easily change the camera settings using the touchscreen even while recording the videos.

The mirrorless digital camera is equipped with the back-illuminated 26.1MP sensor X-Trans CMOS 4 and high-speed image processing engine X-Processor 5, which means it can produce high-quality images with minimised noise while keeping the power consumption lower than FUJIFILM's previous X Series models. 

The subject detection AF feature will automatically track and focus on the subject while allowing users to concentrate on shutter opportunity and framing. This means you'll get to produce high-quality stills and videos with ease. 

Not only that! The X-S20 comes with 19 Simulation modes, including 'Nostalgic Neg.' which shoots your images or videos with high saturation and soft tonality. You'll be able to explore different presets, perfect for those who like to experiment with their creativity. 

Accompanying the release of the X-S20 camera from FUJIFILM is the interchangeable lens, FUJINON Lens XF8mmF3.5 R WR

Also lightweight and compact, convenient for travelling, the new addition to the XF lenses is known to be the widest lens, boasting a view angle of 121 degrees diagonally and 112 degrees horizontally.

This amazing ultra-wide angle prime lens enables users to capture massive information and intricate details in the frame beyond what human vision can recognise. How cool! :O

Perfect for landscape photography, the prime lens comes with a focal length of 8mm and gives impressive clarity. The FUJINON Lens XF8mmF3.5 R WR also has a filter ring and can take in filter sizes of up to 62mm to get a shallower depth of feel with your images and videos.

You'll also be happy to know that the wide-angle lens is dust and weather resistant and is capable of operating in temperatures as low as -10°C.

Ultimately, the combination of the FUJIFILM X-S20 and the FUJINON Lens XF8mmF3.5 R WR is definitely an ideal companion for adventurers and travellers wanting to express their creativity
