Fujifilm is perhaps best known for its classically designed X-series cameras, with external exposure controls and traditional handling. It also makes entry-level mirrorless cameras in its X-A range, designed for first-time users and smartphone upgraders. The X-T200 sits right in the middle between these two camera ranges, with simplified controls for novices, but providing an electronic viewfinder like the more advanced models.
The X-T200 follows on from the Fujifilm X-T100 that was released in 2018, with a (much) better rear screen, faster processing, proper 4K video plus a ‘digital gimbal’ feature, and improved autofocus. Overall, it’s such a clear improvement that Fujifilm might want to watch out that it doesn’t start cannibalising sales from its more upmarket cameras – although after spending a bit of time with this camera we think the differences are pretty clear. On paper, the X-T200 looks like it could be a match for the X-T30, but in your hands it’s quite obviously a cheaper, simpler camera. If you like the X-A7 but wish it had a viewfinder, get this. If, on the other hand, you want an X-T30 but don’t have quite enough money, we’d suggest saving up for a bit longer; the X-T200 is not that much cheaper, and might prove a disappointment.
The X-T200 would make an ideal camera for beginners, however, and it looks like the perfect camera for Instagram or vlogging.
