Fujifilm X-T30 Mirrorless Digital Camera, Black

Product Information

The best setup is both a joystick and D-Pad, but you’ll have to go with a higher-end model, such as the X-T3, to get that. In this case my X-T30 is smart enough to crank up its Auto ISO to capture the ambient light and balance the flash just enough to keep catchlights in their eyes. It’s an SD/HC/XC compatible slot, but it’s a shame not to see it offering UHS-II, especially considering how fast this camera can shoot. Auto White Balance is great, even shot in nasty mixed light it always seems to do the best job possible.

Not that the X-T10 and X-T20 weren’t little charmers in their own right, but if the recent success and reviewer praises of the XT3 are anything to come by, then the third iteration of the X-TX0 is indeed bound to be the charm. As well as the option to select from one of the 425 points, you can also choose Zone AF and Wide/Tracking AF for following moving subjects.When printed or displayed at reasonable size as I'm showing below, images from the X-T30 look the same at any ISO from ISO 80 up to ISO 12,800, and the only thing that changes at ISO 25,600 (H) is a slight red shift and just a little bit of blotchiness at ISO 51,200 (H). Since 2019, Fujifilm has also had a bit of a shift around in its lineup, doing away with some of its more basic models, and the X-T30 II currently its most beginner-friendly option. Obviously the new sensor/processor combination will bring all the enhancements into the image quality department as we saw last year with the introduction of the X-T3. There’s just one memory card slot, which is to be expected on a mid-range camera like the Fujifilm X-T30 II. A lot of talk always revolves around the sensor qualities itself, while a lot of people tend to forget about the processor.

to 4 seconds (P mode), to 30 seconds (A mode), to 15 minutes (S or M modes) or to one hour in Bulb mode. But that’s not to say you don’t get some excellent specs for your cash – and indeed in many ways it’s a very similar camera to the superb Fujifilm X-S10. Pokey autofocus tracking; while it has fast frame rates for static subjects this is not a good camera for sports or action. You still have the built in flash in place in the faux-mirrorbox, you still have one front and one rear command dial, and you still find the familiar top plate layout with selector dial to the left, shutter speed and exposure comp dials to the right as well as the infamous “panic switch” that sets the camera into full-auto mode for when you’re feeling a little tourist’y. I would bet that the JPEGs from the X-T30 can hold their own against post-processed RAW files from older full-frame cameras like the Nikon D610, or even newer full-frame cameras like the Canon 5D IV.Although it’s a relatively minor upgrade over its predecessor, overall it’s an excellent mid-range camera that’s well suited to travel and everyday photography. Besides that, the amount of sharpening that’s being applied at each setting is slightly more heavy-handed on X-Trans IV than on X-Trans III. The rear LCD has no automatic brightness control, so it's dim in daylight unless you turn it up manually.

Every sample is different, but my sample lost 5 seconds per month (164ms/day) when new, and lost about 5 minutes in the year between April 2022 and April 2023. i want to visit places, take photographs, share those photographs on social media, be happy with the results and not harbor some hidden frustrations or even misgivings that the new Fuji camera could do a sideways thing while I am in Morocco early next year. Good news – and perhaps surprising in the current electronics climate – is that the Fujifilm X-T30 II was actually cheaper at launch than its predecessor. This is Fujifilm’s current top-line sensor, also found in its higher-end cameras, so you can’t get better than that.Again, we’ll go into this in more detail below, but the main bad news is the lack of in-body stabilization, a little bit of awkwardness when it comes to button placement, the screen only tilting (not ideal for selfies and vlogging), and of course the fact that it’s such an incremental upgrade over its predecessor that you might be better off just sticking with that camera.

This could be a great option for a beginner’s first interchangeable-lens camera, and this could be a great option for a pro’s take-anywhere camera or backup body.
