Fujifilm X-T30 II Mirrorless Camera (Silver)

The Fujifilm X-T30 is an exceptional value for the money, offering excellent image quality, a (generally) well-designed body with plenty of direct controls, and an autofocus system that handles most situations with ease, with face detection being a weak point.

  Lacks image stabilization, as well as weather sealing, Grip is not ideal for larger lenses and photographers with larger hands, Rear touchscreen-only tilts up and down, unlike the X-T3 which also tilts to the right as well

For $899, you’ll get a lot of value for your dollar with the Fujifilm X-T30, given the camera’s overall solid performance and its stellar image quality. This compact mirrorless camera is feature-rich and while, in my opinion, it would be a waste of money to use the X-T30 in auto mode, that option is...

The X-T30 crams a lot of technology and performance into a very small body. Sometimes it seems even too small, as it’s still a little too easy to press buttons by accident, and bigger lenses will inevitably leave it feeling front-heavy.

  Excellent image quality, Powerful and effective autofocus, Traditional exposure controls, Small size

  No in-body stabilisation, Placement of Q button

“With excellent tech and great design, the X-T30 is the best bargain in cameras right now.”

The Fujifilm X-T30 follows a tried-and-trusted recipe now on its third generation, delivering the same sensor, processing and autofocus of the flagship X-T3 in a smaller, lighter and much more affordable body.

Launched in February 2019 , Fujifilm X-T30 is a 26.0MP Entry-Level Mirrorless camera with a APS-C (23.5 x 15.6 mm ) sized X-Trans CMOS sensor, Tilting touch screen and Fujifilm X lens mount.

  No Sensor shift Image Stabilization, Low Battery Life: 380 shots, No Environmental Sealing

I had a good time with the FujiFilm X-T30, It’s a great camera with great potential. It really isn’t marketed for beginners, it is definitely made for intermediate to expert photographers.

I have had the X-T30 about 11 months now with the 18-55mm lens, and after adjusting to it's differences from my Nikon, I really enjoy it. Frankly, it is hard under most circumstances to tell any difference in image quality between this camera and my go to Nikon D610 - however it is a lot less to lug...

The shots are amazing with this camera. Even if you are a beginner with using cameras or have no knowledge of the features, you can use it in auto mode and still get perfect shots.

Very good image sensor, very good processor, very good focus, very good price ! Excellent camera !

  Personally I’d have liked the choice to have a different “kit” lens as I upgraded straight away! The 14-55 that came with the camera is okay if you’re starting out but I purchased this camera as an upgrade so felt like I needed to upgrade the lens too!

• +

  I love the classic aesthetic. It was a big reason why I got it. But considering it has the same sensor as its bigger brother and at nearly half the price is a big plus. Very compact, great photos. A camera for life.

  The screen only goes up & down, it would've been perfect if it came out and swivelled like the S-10.

Great all round camera, easy to use and producing insanely good images

With its slick and sophisticated design, this Fujifilm X-T30 (Charcoal) definitely stands out. It is a great travel camera (because of its lightweight and features) that works well for mid to professional users.

Camera looks great, film simulations are fun, both In camera and in lightroom. Lots of features, lens is sharp enough for enthusiasts. Battery life in boost mode around 300 shots. EVF is really good.
