Fujifilm X-T30 Summary
Fujifilm X-T30 Assessment
The Fujifilm X-T30 pairs a 26 megapixels X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor with an X-Processor 4. Together, they delivers excellent image-quality and class-leading speed.
The sensor features 2.1 million Phase-Detection pixels to create a virtual 425-Point AF system that combines Phase-Detect and Contrast-Detect to deliver quick and highly accurate autofocus. This camera is capable of shooting 26 MP images at 20 FPS without any blackout. The X-T30 is always extremely responsive.
The Fujifilm X-T30 is the compact version of the excellent X-T3. In getting a more compact body, the viewfinder has diminished size to 0.39" and 0.62X magnification, compared to 0.5" and 0.75X. and the camera body is neither weather-sealed nor freezeproof. Controls have been reworked but keep the hybrid digital and analog design, allowing a dual control-dials plus a number of direct dials which complement the aperture-ring found on most Fuji X-mount lenses.
