Fujifilm X-T20 vs X70

The X-T20 leads on more headline specs, but the X70 counters on a lighter 340 g body.

The short version

The Fujifilm X-T20 and Fujifilm X70 are Fujifilm APS-C bodies from different lines — the X-T and the X70. The X-T20 is the newer of the two, arriving in 2017. At launch the X-T20 was $899 and the X70 $699, making the X70 the more affordable of the two.

On paper the X-T20 is the stronger body of the two. It gives you 24.3 MP of resolution, 4K/30p video, and a 2.36M-dot electronic viewfinder, with a few smaller wins on top of that.

The X70 isn't far behind. It hits back with a lighter 340 g body.

So which one? If you want 24.3 MP of resolution, get the X-T20. If a lighter 340 g body is closer to what you actually need, the X70 is the smarter buy. And the X70 costs less — $699 at launch.
