I'm owner of a FUJIFILM X-T10 since April 2018. It is small and lightweight; add that you can easily buy cheap new prime lenses or adapt vintage SLR or rangefinder lenses. My go-to kit lens is a Sony 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 (A-Mount), I like this cheap adapted lens mainly for its mechanical focus (not focus by wire). Throw in an L-bracket to attach an external light, and one already has the perfect walkaround setup, no heavy and complicated gear. The camera is mostly set to manual exposure or aperture-priority mode. There are seven customizable buttons on this camera (only five are used to set: video, wifi, aspect ratio, white balance, and film simulation). There is also a Q button (Quick Menu) that can be customized to quickly access your often used features. With a maximum video resolution of 1080p/60fps, this is more than sufficient for uploading to YouTube. After shooting, I could quickly send the files to my phone via Wi-Fi and upload to social media. It's been a joy to use and that this could be my perfect camera forever!

What about the FUJIFILM X-T20 from 2017? The camera looks like an identical copy of X-T10 on the exterior, but it has improvements over the previous model such as:

> 24.3 MP APS-C X-Trans CMOS III sensor with primary color filter

> 4k video recording in .MOV format, 48kHz stereo 100MPBS
> ISO sensitivity of 200 up to 12800 (with extended ISO 25600)
> Supports touchscreen operation
> The usual Film Simulation Modes + ACROS (new in X-T20)
> Comes with NP-W126S Li-ion battery(lasts longer than NP-W126)
> Battery can be charged by plugging camera into USB slot/charger
