Fujifilm X-T10 vs Fujifilm X-T20 Comparison Overview

In this review, we will be comparing the X-T10 and the X-T20, two Entry-Level Mirrorless cameras by Fujifilm. Fujifilm X-T10 was introduced to the market in May 2015 and Fujifilm X-T20 was launched in January 2017. There is 20 months difference between X-T10 and X-T20 so we don't expect to see a huge technology difference between these two cameras but it would still give an advantage to younger X-T20, especially in sensor tech.

Here is a brief look at the main features of the Fujifilm X-T10 and Fujifilm X-T20 before getting into our more detailed comparison.

Fujifilm X-T10 vs Fujifilm X-T20: Physical Specs and Body Features Comparison

Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs. In this section, we are going to illustrate the Fujifilm X-T10 and Fujifilm X-T20 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Fujifilm X-T10 has external dimensions of 118 x 83 x 41 mm (4.65 x 3.27 x 1.61″) and weighs 381 g (0.84 lb / 13.44 oz) (including batteries). Fujifilm X-T20 has external dimensions of 118 x 83 x 41 mm (4.65 x 3.27 x 1.61″) and weighs 383 g (0.84 lb / 13.51 oz) (including batteries).

Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Fujifilm X-T10 and the Fujifilm X-T20. In this case, we can see that Fujifilm X-T10 and Fujifilm X-T20 have the exact same height, width and thickness.

Now lets look at the top view comparison of Fujifilm X-T10 and Fujifilm X-T20.

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day. Fujifilm X-T10 is 2g lighter than the Fujifilm X-T20 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.

Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you also have to take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since both Fujifilm X-T10 and Fujifilm X-T20 have the same Fujifilm X lens mount and APS-C sized sensors, lenses will not be a differentiator on total size of the system.

Weather Sealing

Unfortunately neither the Fujifilm X-T10 nor Fujifilm X-T20 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors. If weather sealing is a must-have feature for you, check these sections:
Top Mirrorless Cameras with Weather Sealing

LCD Screen Size and Features

Fujifilm X-T10 and Fujifilm X-T20's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.

Both cameras feature Tilting screens where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels.


Fujifilm X-T10 vs Fujifilm X-T20: Sensor Comparison

Fujifilm X-T10 has a 16.0MP APS-C (23.6 x 15.6 mm ) sized CMOS X-TRANS II sensor and features EXR Processor II processor. On the other hand, Fujifilm X-T20 has a 24.0MP APS-C (23.6 x 15.6 mm ) sized CMOS X-TRANS III sensor and features X-Processor Pro2 processor.

Fujifilm X-T20's sensor provides 8MP more than Fujifilm X-T10's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely. On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power. Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.

One other difference between these two cameras that is worth mentioning is that Fujifilm X-T20's sensor doesn't have an anti-alias (Low-Pass) filter. Removing anti-alias filter increases the sharpness and level of detail but at the same time, it increases the chance of moiré occurring in certain scenes.

Below you can see the X-T10 and X-T20 sensor size comparison.

Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Fujifilm X-T10 and Fujifilm X-T20 Cameras


Fujifilm X-T10 and Fujifilm X-T20 have the same sensor sizes so they will provide same level of control over the depth of field when used with same focal length and aperture. On the other hand, since Fujifilm X-T10 has 50% larger pixel area compared to Fujifilm X-T20, it has potential to collect more light on pixel level hence have less noise in low light / High ISO images.

Fujifilm X-T10 vs Fujifilm X-T20 Comparison of Available Lenses
Which camera has more lenses?

The number of available lenses is a big deciding factor when choosing your interchangeable lens camera. Fujifilm X-T10 and Fujifilm X-T20 have the same Fujifilm X lens mount and currently there are 83 native lenses available for these cameras.

Another important factor is the availability of image stabilization. None of these bodies have sensor based image stabilization so you have to buy lenses with Optical stabilization feature. Currently there are 18 lenses with Image stabilization for Fujifilm X mount.
