Abstract: If you're feeling limited by what your point-and-shoot can do, there are plenty of reasons to consider an interchangeable lens camera (ILC), whether it be a traditional DSLR or a more modern mirrorless model. These advanced shooters feature larger image s...
Very solid build quality,High quality image,Offers plenty of manual controls despite its compact proportions,Massive range of directly compatible lenses and accessories,
Absolute beginners may require a period of familiarisation, Back plate buttons and new thumb operated joystick could be larger Lack of in-camera image stabilisation,
This is a camera that the less experienced might be a little daunted by at first, yet will be able to grow into. Though it might not be a top-of-the-range X series model - in fact with the recent launch of the X-S10 it sits somewhere in the middle of the...
The camera lets you tweak the settings as much as you like, or you can use an auto mode that takes the hard work out of taking great snaps, It's speedy between shots, you'll never miss a moment, The design of the camera is great and so is the build qualit
We found, on occasions, some photos lacked vibrant colours, You'll need to find a 2.5mm mic input, as opposed to the usual 3.5mm, to record sound on your videos
Looking for a lightweight camera that takes great shots? The Fujifilm XT30 is a great buy. Despite its small size, this compact system camera still gives you the flexibility of being able to change the lens to suit the type of picture you're taking. The c...
Gorgeous, retro body, Tilting, touch-sensitive screen, 4K Video
Single card slot, Limited buffer for action, Irritating Q button placement
As we generally find to be the case with Fujifilm offerings, there's a lot to like about the X-T30 – and hardly anything to dislike. It's a superb camera which distils many of the best elements of the X-T3 into a smaller, lighter, cheaper camera.That said...

Great build quality, Superb value for money, Plenty of customization options, Excellent 4K video quality, Lovely default JPEG output, Speedy AF system
0.62x EVF magnification, Grip not ideal for larger lenses, Some controls can be fiddly, No sensor-based stabilization, Tripod thread awkwardly placed, No UHS-II support
The X-T20 was a popular model for a reason, and it's hard to see why the X-T30 shouldn't be destined for the same kind of appreciation. Whether you're an enthusiast looking for a backup body, or you're taking your next steps from a more junior model, the...

Excellent image quality, Crispy 4K video, Compact body, Lots of controls to hand
Tiny rear buttons, Not much for larger hands to grip
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 fi...

Great image quality from this APS-C sensor, Autofocus is fast and capable for moving/eye-tracked subjects, Many of the X-T3's features for less cash (and some it betters - until April 2019 update)
Smaller autofocus point size can struggle, Not as low-light sensitive as some competitors, Eye AF should be easier to disengage, Not weather-sealed, USB charging only (no charging cradle in box)
In the face of so much full-frame camera chatter - the Canon EOS RP was announced just one hour prior to the X-T30's unveiling, highlighting this very point - the latest mid-level Fuji camera has a lot of weight on its shoulders. But it needn't worry: if...
Abstract: Take the Fujifilm X-T20, add the same sensor and processor combo as the excellent X-T3, and you have what looks to be one of the best compact system cameras we've seen so far. The X-T30 is small, light and a joy to shoot with. The autofocus is much-improv...
