This makes the X-T3 a bit more useful when shooting it vertically off a tripod. This makes the X-T3 a more desirable camera for prolonged EVF use, because it is larger, more detailed and more comfortable to use in comparison.Īnother difference is in the LCD screen – the X-T30 has a standard tilting screen, while the LCD screen on the X-T30 can tilt up and down, as well as tilt in vertical orientation. The eyecup on the X-T30 is also larger and softer, making it more comfortable to use.
The Fuji X-T3 has a newer 3.69 million dot EVF with 0.75x magnification, while the EVF on the X-T30 has 2.36 million dots and is limited to 0.62x magnification. The EVF experience in both cameras is also noticeably different. The X-T3 is fully weather-sealed to be able to take pretty much any kind of abuse, while the X-T30 is not sealed against the elements. While the X-T3 is a robust, high-end camera with a larger body and ergonomics designed for professionals in mind, the X-T30 is a much smaller camera that is designed for beginners and enthusiasts. Where the two cameras mostly differ are in ergonomics, EVF, storage, FPS and weather sealing features. It has the same sensor and image processor, same autofocus system, and even mostly the same menu features. Fujifilm X-T30 SpecificationsĪs I have already pointed out, being a mini-version of its big brother, the X-T3, the Fuji X-T30 offers quite a bit value for the money. Let’s take a look at this camera in more detail. And at $899 MSRP, it is without a doubt one of the most valuable camera choices out there. Simply put, the X-T30 is one of the most feature-rich cameras on the market. With a whopping 2.16 million on-sensor phase detection pixels that cover the entire sensor, as well as a super fast and responsive AF system, the X-T30 is also an excellent choice for photographing fast action. Lastly, the autofocus features of the X-T30 are also very impressive. In terms of video, the X-T30 is capable of shooting 4K video (downscaled from 6K) in both UHD and DCI formats (17:9), and it is capable of F-Log shooting and 4:2:2 10-bit output via the HDMI port – features no other camera in the same price range can match. This opens up insanely fast processing of images and video, allowing the X-T30 to shoot up to 8 FPS with the mechanical shutter, and up to 30 FPS with the electronic shutter and 1.25x crop mode.
The Fuji X-T30 features the fourth-generation 26.1 MP X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor (APS-C BSI CMOS), as well as the fourth-generation quad-core X-Processor 4 image-processing engine, just like what the X-T3 has. I had a chance to test out this camera earlier this year while traveling in the Middle East, so I have a few images and thoughts to share with our readers. Sporting a lot of the internals of the popular Fuji X-T3 mirrorless camera, the X-T30 can be considered its mini version, except in a smaller, lighter and less expensive body. Fujifilm released the third iteration of its popular camera in the form of the X-T30 in February of 2019, two years after the release of its predecessor.
