Fujifilm X-T3 vs X-T20

The X-T3 leads on more headline specs, but the X-T20 counters on a lighter 383 g body.

The short version

The Fujifilm X-T3 and Fujifilm X-T20 are both Fujifilm X-T bodies. The X-T3 is the newer of the two, arriving in 2018. At launch the X-T3 was $1,499 and the X-T20 $899, making the X-T20 the more affordable of the two.

On paper the X-T3 is the stronger body of the two. It gives you 26.1 MP of resolution, 11 fps continuous shooting, and face/eye-detection AF, with a few smaller wins on top of that.

The X-T20 isn't far behind. It hits back with a lighter 383 g body.

So which one? If you want 26.1 MP of resolution, get the X-T3. If a lighter 383 g body is closer to what you actually need, the X-T20 is the smarter buy. And the X-T20 costs less — $899 at launch.
