It was announced for end of June and DPreview already has a preliminary writeup. Looks good for video applications. If it has any drawbacks other than not 40Mp, I didn't notice them.** Should we open a new thread to discuss?
P.S. ** Yup, no HEIF output, not weather sealed.
P.P.S. "No HEIF" was based on DPreview's side-by-side. Thanks for the correction, AlanSh.
I think it does have HEIF output.

I'm interested because:
Why might I not like it?
Now it's the cheapest way to get Nostalgic Neg :)
X-S20 would be my first Fuji X. Almost bought an X-T20, but after Covid when I was ready to leave home, it was sold out. Meanwhile DxO supports X-Trans so I'm not limited to Bayer. Although body price increased since the X-S10, price of the bundled 18-55/2.8-4 decreased $100. Didn't really want the 15-45 anyway.
PASM seems natural to me. Dedicated ISO dial seems silly. I had film cameras with aperture and shutter controls, but given PhotoLab's ability to fix high ISO noise, I feel it's best to let ISO float. X-H2 is too large, so X-S20 is the model for me. I find that Fuji JPEG quality compared to PhotoLab edits is higher than the ratio of JPEG to PhotoLab edits for the OM-1 and OM-5. Possibly DxO lens corrections make more of a difference with Olympus.
(And now, Lightroom seem comparable to DxO for fixing high ISO noise.)
The S20 is a good stills camera with great battery life but the big advances are in moving pictures.
I prefer PSAM - usage wise, w/o "S" in between
You got it on the X-S20. I wonder what to do with C1 C2 C3 C4. The owner's manual is not yet online.
PhotoLab doesn't support the X-S20 yet, so I tried editing a JPEG in the DPreview gallery taken at 300mm. ClearView probably helps most, reducing atmospheric haze. (DxO really should have a camera alias feature so X-S20 RAFs could be edited as X-S10.)

I have no issue with the price of the X-S20 other than the fact that the X-S10 won't go down any further on the used market. I was hoping to get a dirt cheap and small IBIS body to mess with.
I would have thought 1149 to be fairer.
I hope you are correct about no decrease in S10 prices ,id like to offload mine.Definitely I'll be selling some older Fuji bodies(at a profit on some) and may get this S20 if I find a deal(?).I'll wait and see what comes to market though.E5...Pro4...T40 and see what they offer and at what price.
Fuji discontinued the series I was interested (X-E, X-Pro) so no...
There is no evidence to suggest that..HS-2 the first of the 5th gen bodies has been out around 10 months and S20 will make 4 bodies available in under a year.
Thats pretty reasonable going when considering the fact that all 4 are fairly different(apart from the 2 H models sharing the same body).
E and Pro are most likely still in development.The centre EVF/IBIS models have taken priority is seems.
John, do you think Fuji will release someday an XE5 or XPro4 or those lines are gone? Based on their emphasis on hybrids, I have my doubts 🤔
How long did DxO take to support the X-T5? Hopefully X-S20 support will appear as quickly.
It didn't seem to take long, but then, I wasn't really interested in buying an X-T5.
