According to the latest rumors surfaced over the rumor mill, Fuji X-20 will be the NEXT announcement from Fuji. That’s all the latest information we have from the rumor mill.
end of rumor
BTW, in one of our previous articles Fuji Upcoming Cameras 2023 [Expectations], we discussed that Fuji X-S20 is expected to arrive in the year 2023. And we have also published expected core specs too, but in that set of specs we didn’t jump into the details of why we have written X-20 will arrive with a 26MP sensor since actually many of my subscribers are expecting that the X-S20 should arrive with a Fuji Latest 40MP APS-C X-Trans sensor.
It is certainly possible that if Fujifilm were to add all of the features of the X-T5 to the upcoming X-S20 camera, it could potentially lower the sales of the X-T5.
First, it’s important to note that the X-T5 and X-S10/X-S20 are different camera models that are targeted at different types of the consumer base. The X-T5 is a more advanced camera with more advanced features and more direct control over settings, while the X-S10/X-S20 are more entry-level / mid-range cameras with more simplified controls for beginners.
Another consideration is that adding both a 40 MP sensor and a New Image processor, would also increase the cost of the X-S20 and would not be the same price as the X-S10, which could also affect its own sales too, those who are waiting to upgrade to X-S10 may select a different camera if its price is increased.
Content creators vs Photographers?
According to market analysis, the trend of content creation is increasing day by day, and more and more people are interested in creating video content. As per the data, the number of YouTubers with more than 1 million subscribers has grown by more than 75% since 2018, and the number of TikTok users has grown by more than 50% in the same period. Hence, launching a camera that is content creator-friendly would be a great move for Fujifilm to capture a significant portion of this growing consumer base.
As you can see most of the entry-level and mid-range cameras from camera makers are coming out with more content creator-friendly cameras, so we do expect that the upcoming X-S20 will have a major update in the video part of the camera compared to the still side.
The Specs that we expect from Fuji X-S20
- 26.1MP APS-C X-Trans BSI CMOS 4 Sensor
- X-Processor 5 Image Processor
- 5-Axis In-Body Image Stabilization
- DCI/UHD 4K at 60 fps, Full HD at 240 fps
- 425-Point Hybrid AF System
- 2.36m-Dot 0.62x OLED EVF
- 3.0″ 1.04m-Dot Vari-Angle Touchscreen
- Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Connectivity
Overall, Fujifilm’s decision to upgrade or not to upgrade the X-S20’s features will depend on the market demand, competition, and production cost. However, considering the increasing consumer base of content creators, it would be a great idea for Fujifilm to launch a camera that is content creator-friendly, and as I have mentioned, upgrading the image processor, AF system, and video specs of the camera would be a good start.
Fuji X-S20 Coming on April 2023?
We don’t know when it will be out yet, but some people think it might be announced in April at an event called the X Summit. We will have to wait and see if Fujifilm says when it will be out.

Well I think the decision to use the 40 megapixel X-Trans sensor in the X-T5 was likely a strategic move by Fuji to appeal to photography enthusiasts and professionals who demand the highest image quality and more details possible, as u know today’s world all pros are pixel peepr like me. And it seems like it’s a trend for them to use the same sensor in the X-S20, a more affordable version for the masses, now. And as u even know the XT40 etc, lineup isn’t active for a while. And, the competitive market and the constant advancement of technology, it’s no surprise that we’re seeing more and more high resolution sensors in cameras.
it can be inferred that the inclusion of a 40 megapixel sensor in the upcoming Fuji X-S20 camera is widely expected, as it would be a significant improvement over the current X-S10 model and people will love it as It happens.. in past we already have affordable series as the above said and now we have X-Sxx series left… HIGHLY LIKLEY the camera will have 40 MP
I would love to see 40MP sensor, pls fuji listen to us … don’t use that 26MP anymore.. otherwise I will not upgrade from X-S10
