<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\nAs a photographer, these cameras have helped me re-discover my lifelong, deep and abiding love for the sport.\u00a0 As an artist, they have opened up a level of creativity and joy that I only dared to imagine before!<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\nMy mother instilled in me a strong belief in \u201cthe right tool for the job\u201d. Throughout my various lives as a professional equestrienne, figure skater, dancer, skier,\u00a0actress, I always sought the best tools and gear I could acquire for each job. They didn\u2019t take the place of hard work and ability, but they removed at least\u00a0some of roadblocks and made all those efforts go further. My tools weren\u2019t necessarily the \u201cpopular\u201d best, but they were always uniquely suited to me. This approach has never steered me wrong.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\nI have always\u00a0applied this principle to photography, of course\u2026 but it took Fujifilm to rocket\u00a0everything into realms I only dreamt were possible until now.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\nMy favorite camera to date has been the X-T2. It\u2019s the one I imagined in my head when first switched to mirrorless.\u00a0It\u2019s a\u00a0weather-sealed force of technical nature that\u00a0almost knows what I\u2019m thinking before I do. It\u2019s my practically-perfect creative tool and go-to camera every day of the week.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\nThe X-T20 is its little sister (or brother, if you prefer.) and WOW it\u2019s a feisty little beast! Understandable, since it inherited the X-T2\u2019s practically-perfect genes: the same 24MP X-Trans CMOS III sensor, the same processor and 4k video. I can use all the same lenses AND it uses the same batteries as the X-T2. #Winning!<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\nBut there are a few awesome differences. The biggest one: Touchscreen! Where the X-T2 uses a joy stick to move the focal point, the X-T20 sports a really fast touchscreen. It operates with a few modes that gets the focusing\/shooting job done FAST. Plus, you can scroll between photos and videos – and pinch to zoom in to 100%. I had never used a touchscreen before and wondered if I\u2019d like it. After experiencing this one, I totally get why people love them! This touchscreen offers amazing flexibility and an agility that I can literally take ANYWHERE.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\nBetween the X-T20\u2019s size (small) and power (huge), it\u2019s been like discovering a whole new creative realm. Take landscape photography, for instance. I typically carry a couple of cameras and zoom lenses in my pack, which cover a wide variety of possibilities for whatever I\u2019m likely to encounter out there.\u00a0\u00a0My favorite go-to lens is the XF16-55mmF2.8, then either the XF50-140mmF2.8 or maybe the XF60mmF2.4 MACRO, depending on where I\u2019m headed. I don\u2019t like changing lenses too much out in the elements, so this 2+2 system works well for me.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\nSince I like my side-by-side systems to be similar in functionality (which keeps me in my\u00a0creative zone, not jumping over into tech brain)\u2026 the two cameras in my pack \u00a0now are\u00a0the X-T2 and X-T20. Same approach, now with\u00a0even less weight!\u00a0They both turn out equally gorgeous images that have the wooft for large prints, which is an important part of my vision and business (and yes, I do use the X-T20 with my XF50-140mmF2.8 lens!). And since\u00a04K video is becoming\u00a0my newest means for\u00a0expressing artistic vision, these cameras give me\u00a0twice the ability to develop it!<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\nTraveling, I keep the X-T20 and say, a 23mm prime\u00a0in my purse or on a camera strap and blend in like a tourist. I love that, since I prefer not drawing attention to myself with gear, for both security and spontaneity reasons. It\u2019s a small package that produces BIG results and keeps both the fun, document-the-journey side and the fine art part of my world right at my fingertips.<\/p>\n
