Fujifilm X-T2 vs X-T20 – The complete comparison

Last update on: March 6th, 2019

Since its announcement in early 2015, the X-T1 has been one of Fujifilm’s most popular cameras. It is for this reason that the company released a smaller version one and a half years later – the X-T10 – that was priced more attractively despite having the same the image quality and autofocus performance as the X-T1.

This time it took just seven months for the brand to announce the X-T20, a smaller version of the flagship X-T2 that once again has the same performance as its older sibling but comes at a more attractive price.

We usually stick to mirrorless products on this website but today we decided to make an exception since some are already calling the Sony a9 a true “DSLR killer”. Granted, this statement might be an expression of enthusiasm more than anything else, as we have yet to see how this camera performs in the so-called real world, but there’s no question Sony is targeting sports photographers who have been long-time Canon or Nikon shooters.

But before thinking about the red and yellow brands, why don’t we take a look at how the a9 compares to Sony’s own DSLT system, and more specifically, the recently announced a99 mark II?

The 10 Main Differences Between the Sony A9 and A7 mark II

Sony’s camera division has been growing rapidly since it inherited part of Minolta’s technology and know-how back in 2006. Despite having released many DSLRs, DSLTs and mirrorless cameras, nothing has quite drawn the attention of the photographic community like the A7 series, its full-frame mirrorless system, which was first introduced in late 2013.
