Always enjoy reading your contributions to these topics, Craggy.


Thanks, as always, dear fella ! The X-T20 would work very well for many people, and it's cheaper than the T2. And it's about to get some "Kaizen" (on-going TLC from the manufacturer) in the form of a major firmware update, as is the T2. It's just that I've got "shovels" for hands (helped me a lot in ball sports !) and have fondled, sorry handled, the T20 ....... it's way too small for me ...... so I'm a T2 user, had the E1, T1 and Pro2 before that .....and loving it !!

I have the Fuji X-T20 and like most everything about it. The pictures are crisp and brilliant. I use the kit lens 18-55. My history is that I've used Nikon full frames for over 55 years and have grown accustomed to my way of holding a camera. This little camera makes it difficult to use it without hitting a button on the back that stops my shot until I reset it. Therefore, I use it for shots that aren't action. Again, the pictures are hard to beat even with my D-810.

Getting one in your hands is easier said than done. We live in the biggest city in our state and no one has a demo X-T20. We have several Best Buys and have been to some of them including the one with the biggest camera department (where every current Nikon, Canon, and most of the Sonys and Panasonics were on display). They told me that Fuji does not provide display X-T20 so we could not see one out of the box. My wife was interested but she is very picky about how a camera feels in her hands so Fuji is out. Shame, they are missing sales because they don't want to provide stores a display.

You can order from the ABCs with 30 day return privilege. Just check their return policies to ensure no restocking fee.

What is opinion of the camera and what lens would you use for daily, standard walk around?

Thank you


I have the X-T2, but it has the same sensor as the 20, and so has the same IQ. The "kit" lens, the 18 - 55 is the ideal walk around lens. Ideal travel camera.

They have a pretty hefty restocking fee on cameras.

Adorama, B&H, and Cameta. They are the leading US camera stores with powerful online sales. All three are great to deal with and have liberal return policies. But you do need to check if the have restocking fees. I am pretty sure Adorama does not charge a restocking fee and allow 30 days for return. Cameta cetainly:

Still waiting for you to come back into your own post. Although you've already recommended the T20 in another post ...... you got one, learned it, used it already? Those of us who try to assist by contributing to your thread would really appreciate it if you'd respond ...... even if it's just once !
