Fujifilm X-T30 II vs X-T20

The X-T30 II leads on more headline specs, but the X-T20 counters on price and size.

The short version

The Fujifilm X-T30 II and Fujifilm X-T20 are both Fujifilm X-T bodies. The X-T30 II is the newer of the two, arriving in 2021. Both launched at $899.

On paper the X-T30 II is the stronger body of the two. It gives you 26.1 MP of resolution, face/eye-detection AF, and 380-shot battery life, with a few smaller wins on top of that.

The X-T20 can't match those numbers. What it has going for it is a lower price, a smaller footprint, or just being the body you'd rather carry.

So which one? If you want 26.1 MP of resolution, get the X-T30 II. If the simpler, cheaper option is closer to what you actually need, the X-T20 is the smarter buy.
