Specs at a glance
Summary
For filmmakers prioritizing maximum resolution and extreme slow-motion, the Fujifilm X-S20 is the clear choice, offering 6K video and 1080p at 240fps. However, for those needing industry-leading autofocus, robust professional codecs like XAVC S-I, and advanced color profiles such as S-Cinetone, the Sony a6700 is the more capable and reliable workhorse.

The trade-off
Choosing the Fujifilm X-S20 means sacrificing Sony's class-leading 759-point autofocus and professional XAVC S-I codecs. Opting for the Sony a6700 means giving up the higher 6K resolution and the ability to shoot 1080p at 240fps.
