Fuji X-T20 Review
The success of the Fujifilm X-T series cameras has created the demand for a lower cost camera that incorporates most of the features in a more compact body. The Fuji X-T1 prompted the birth of the X-T10, and the X-T2 obviously resulted in the second-generation X-T20. Built to the same…
