As an owner of a Fuji X10, I recently received from Fuji an offer I could not refuse - one of their new X20 compact cameras at a great price! I've been very please with the X10, but it did have some drawbacks, like having no exposure information in the optical viewfinder. This has been added in the X20, which, along with some of the other improvements, makes the X20 the camera that the X10 should have been.

This gallery shows a few examples of images taken with the X20, and starts with pictures taken on a recent trip to Bicester Shopping Village in North Oxfordshire, and some of my attempts at street photography (not part of my usual comfort zone!). Like its predecessor, the X20 is small, quiet and (hopefully) discreet, so ideally suited to this genre, unlike my main walk-about camera, a Nikon D800 with Nikkor 28-300mm VR zoom.

The X20 shoots in both jpeg and RAW. I mainly process only the jpegs, using the RAW files as a backup if the jpegs have problems. The jpeg images here have mostly been lightly edited, including some cropping, straightening and a gentle touch in the excellent new Camera Raw filter in Photoshop CC (adjusting levels where necessary together with a tweak on the Clarity and Vibrance sliders). The mono images were processed using Nik Silver Efex Pro 2.
