This is an incredible camera that was made for shooters just like myself. I did extensive research about the mirrorless system I wanted to switch over to from my Nikon DX system, and I had identified the X-T2 as my dream camera, initially. I was pleasantly surprised with the release of the X-T20 (and its price tag) this January. It has everything about the X-T2 I coveted (+ touch screen focusing!) and none of the professional video features I didn't need and would never use as a strictly stills shooter. The video is still great, however, and I may now even be more inclined to use that feature. I would have liked the weather-sealing, but just opted for 3-year accident protection instead and feel just fine about that.
The body itself is about the same size as my LUMIX LX100 (another really great camera on its own + value-wise) and has the same manual control dials that I love with the perfect amount of resistance. I enjoy shooting film and I think the X-T systems really capture the way it feels to shoot with a film DSLR in a compact mirrorless, down to the sound of the mechanical shutter. I especially love using the focus ring of the kit lens as an aperture dial and the endless button customization options. I've set mine up to be as close in function to my LX100 as possible, so my learning curve was short and it instantly felt familiar. USB charging: life-changing.
I love the "film" settings and literally just discovered a setting one can use to take double exposure *in camera*, which is one of my favorite film tricks. The menu is mostly intuitive, but there were some options that felt a little hidden or tricky to find, such as the "shoot without lens" feature.
As a woman with very small hands, this camera still feels tiny when I hold it. I've ordered a thumb grip to make casually one-handing it a little bit more comfortable. However, I love the compactness, and am an avid traveler who hates to be weighed down by my heavier Nikon gear. I feel like I could throw this camera, a wide angle, and a portrait lens into a backpack for a hiking trip and be fine, something I never would have considered with my current system.
I would recommend this camera to beginner and pro still-shooters alike. If you are a film fan and want to feel as enthusiastic about your digital camera, the X-T20 will capture that magic. If you're tired of lugging around a DSLR and its bigger lenses, consider the image quality of this sensor (and Fuji's incredible line of glass). Even if you are none of these things, give this camera a closer look.
The only thing I found disappointing was Amazon's shipping of the camera. I opened a giant box to find the camera box just free floating, with a single piece of brown paper (see photo). I cringe to think about it banging around in there, and I am keeping my fingers crossed that the rough ride didn't damage any of the internal elements. I was really shocked, as I basically order my life from Amazon and have never had concerns about packaging before.

Initial thoughts from a Canon 5Dii convert
I bought this camera as a potential supplement or replacement for my Canon 5D Mark ii and assortment of expensive and high-quality lenses. The main reason I did was because I wanted something smaller that I could travel with more easily than my "big" camera and collection of big, heavy lenses. Here are a few reactions after my first week with the Fuji:* Wow, I am completely blown away by the image quality coming out of this camera with the 18-55 kit lens (the more expensive one). The images are on par with those I would take with my 5Dii and a very good prime lens. But it's the kit lens! That zooms! See the attached picture. I'm not sure if amazon will reduce the file quality, but if you can zoom in and look at the details, they are perfect. Every bit as good as with a professional SLR and expensive prime.* I shoot everything in RAW. the colors coming out of the camera are really great. Again, on par with what I can get with a great prime lens. Nothing is washed out. The colors are vibrant and beautiful. With that said, I have noticed that some shots in bright outdoor lighting have a bit of an unwelcome blue cast to them. Easily adjusted later and this might be a setting that I'm missing.* Being able to charge the camera over USB was an unexpected surprise that I hadn't thought about. Now I can leave the battery charger at home and just plug in with a mini-USB and my cell phone's wall adapter. I can also charge the camera with a pocket battery pack, like the kind you would charge a cell phone with.* The face detection is pretty good. The eye detection is a bit less sharp, unless you are dealing with a subject sitting completely still. For some reason the face detection doesn't always show up for me.* I love being able to focus using the touch screen. Note that this is not the default behavior and you have to update your settings. Want to focus on the person in the corner? Just touch their face. It's great. You do have to remember, though, that the focus will remain in that spot until you update it.* Another unexpected benefit: that you can shoot without holding the camera up to your eye. People just seem less stressed out when you are behaving more like a tourist than a "photographer."* An unexpected disappointment: I use Lightroom version 5.7, which is a couple years old. It won't accept the RAW images from this camera, because the software is no longer developed to include newer camera models. Adobe wants you to pay $10 a month for their crappy newer version, but you can also download the Adobe Digital Negative Converter application for WIndows or Mac, and it will losslessly convert the RAW images to a format that an older Lightroom will accept.That's all I have after a week. Overall, I'm really impressed with this little camera. It fits in a coat pocket and takes pictures that are on par with a huge SLR that was the state of the art five years ago. I'll definitely keep it for travel, and as I get more comfortable with it, maybe replace the big SLR with it entirely.

This is an incredibly capable camera. I recently shot a wedding with it, while my wife shot with a t5. The experience was a new one for me. I have shot with all the typical "pro level" DSLR's, the best lenses, etc etc. Things felt too complicated. I wanted to get back to reality, it's about the story, not the gear. Maybe that 5dMk4 will give you slightly better low light, or that 1dxMk2 will give a higher burst rate. But, for the cost this thing is incredible.
Excellent camera. Another 5 star review to add to the pile.

Build Quality: It's nice. Some plastic, but in the right places. Nice metal edge. It feels solid, but not too heavy that it feels unbalanced. I would say fuji struck a perfect balance with this one. The latches feel good, the buttons feel good, the shutter button and rear screen are fast, with minimal to no delay.
Processor: Fast, shooting raw+jpg can take a little while for files to buffer, even with a nice fast card. I've seen worse, but you won't be shooting a nascar race with this thing.
Image Quality: BLOWN A.W.A.Y. good. I wasn't expecting what came out of this little camera to be so freakin good. Fuji has just this magic with their JPG's that others only dream about. The new xtrans processor has excellent low light performance, and images look super clean. I shot quite a few 6400+ and it was completely usable. I'd say it beats my 6d, and that's known for low light cleans on it's JPG's. Detail is superb. I shot with the slightly better 17-55 2.8-4 "kit" and it was better than a d610 with a 85mm 1.8 attached (I know, I didn't believe it till I saw it either.
Touch Screen: I didn't think I'd care about a touch screen, but touch focusing on a point on the fly is an incredible experience, and one that I don't know if I could give up now. Why do ALL cameras not have this feature? I found myself naturally clicking my target, and shoot. It's so fast, and intuitive I very rarely missed a shot.
Pros: Fast
Small
Light
Powerful
Exceptional IQ and Low Light
JPG'S are incredible
CONS: Battery could be SLIGHTLY better (I got around 450 per battery)
The screen would sometimes lag between live view, and the viewfinder.
A couple weird bugs with the image on the screen appearing with what looked like a filter, when no filter was chosen (it didn't shoot with a filter, it just looked this way till I changed shooting modes.
The viewfinder is a little small. The rear screen is so good I didn't use the viewfinder hardly at all. It didn't lag shooting anyway.
OVERALL: If you're in the market for a small, interchangeable lens camera, this one is incredible. I was debating returning it at first, but after this wedding shoot I'm hooked. I only have one lens, and it's a stock. But the files coming from this thing just are too good. You will NOT look like a "pro" photographer at a wedding using one of these, but just let your images speak for themselves. I love how I can be discrete, and this thing would be wonderful for street photography.
TLDR: BUY IT!
