Fujifilm X-T30 review : ru-Foto.ru

$(document). ready(function() { SampleGalleryStripV2({"galleryId":"2839422674","isMobile":false}) }) 84%Overall scoreJump to conclusion Fujifilm's X-T30 brings the same 26MP sensor, processor and much of the feature set of the high-end X-T3 at a more reasonable price.

If that sounds familiar, it's because the relationship between the X-T20 and X-T2 was the same.

With the X-T30 you get Fujifilm's latest AF system, along with plenty of direct controls and a tilting touchscreen, all in a smaller body. The X-T30 also comes at a significantly lower price than the X-T3, with the body priced at $899, versus $1499 for the X-T3. We'll discuss what features were cut in order to make the X-T30 the less expensive of the two options a bit later in the review.

That's a lot of camera for under $900, body-only. If you'd like to add a lens, you can get the camera and the 15-45mm F3. 5-5. 6 OIS Power Zoom lens for $999, or with the excellent 18-55 F2. 8-4 lens for $1299. The camera is available in silver, black and the graphite silver version shown in this review.

What's new and how it compares

The X-T30 borrows the sensor and processor from the more expensive X-T3, and that's great news.

Body and handling

For a $900 camera, the X-T30 is surprisingly well-built. It has a tilting touchscreen LCD, nice EVF and direct controls that make it a pleasure to use (most of the time).

Operation and controls

In addition to four customizable buttons you can also 'swipe' the X-T30's LCD in one of four directions to adjust settings. The camera offers two different customizable menus so you can set it up the way you'd like.

First impressions

Shooting with the X-T30 is a mixed bag. The results are great, but the ergonomics need work.

Image quality

The X-T30's 26MP sensor offers great out-of-camera JPEGs and flexible Raw files.

Autofocus

While not class-leading, the X-T30's AF system is speedy and reliable in most (but not all) situations.

Video

Put simply, you won't find a better video camera in this price range than the X-T30.
