Fujifilm X-T30 review

While the X-T3 remains the more powerful camera, particularly if you’re a video shooter, the X-T30 does a brilliant job of distilling the pricier model’s essential appeal into a cheaper, more compact body. If you’re coming to mirrorless cameras for the first time and wondering which brand to go for, Fujifilm might not seem the most obvious choice. Panasonic and Sony are bigger players, it’s true, and the mighty Canon and Nikon have finally jumped off the fence in a manner that suggests they’re serious about mirrorless – but cameras like the X-T30 are a stark reminder of how well Fujifilm goes about its business. Not only is this richly-equipped when it comes to both video and stills shooting options, it’s designed so that photographers have lots of control at their fingertips. And its image quality is superb. If you’re a seasoned photographer who knows their way around a camera but is making a first foray into mirrorless or video recording, or the owner of an older, cheaper Fujifilm X series looking to step up to something with a bit more depth and versatility, this camera would make an excellent choice.

Fujifilm XT30 review

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.

Fujifilm X-T30 review

The X-T30 has a couple of handling quirks that are practically inevitable in a camera this small, and it has no in-body stabilisation, but these are the only faults we can find in a camera with superb external controls, a great 26.1-megapixel sensor, superb autofocus and powerful 4K video recording...

Fujifilm X-T30 Review

The Fujifilm X-T30 is a new mid-range mirrorless camera that's smaller, lighter and a lot cheaper than the flagship X-T3 model, yet in some ways is actually slightly more advanced than the X-T3.

What We'd Change. While the Fujifilm X-T30 has all the makings of an awesome APS-C camera, it does leave a few things to be desired. Low-light performance needs improvement; autofocus is a little wobbly when there's not enough light, and noise handling isn't great.

Stay tuned for our upcoming full review of the Fujifilm X-T30 once production models are available for testing.
