Fujifilm X-T30: price and availability

• Or a 35mm f / 2 lens ($ 1,298). The camera is available in all colors black, black and silver or charcoal and silver.

Fujifilm X-T30: Controls

• One of the primary things you notice about the X-T30 is the chunky dials on top. If you have a 35mm film background, these controls will look familiar.
• The drive wheel provides access to continuous shots, bracketing, panorama, film mode and more in the upper left area.
• Next to the dial, a small lever opens the built-in flash. You can also use an external flash on the hot shoe if you want.
• Go to the upper right area to find out the X-T30’s shutter speed and exposure compensation. The shutter release was perfectly positioning and threaded to accept a manual release cable for long exposure.
• The front and rear dials are easily accessible and can be used to adjust settings and navigate menus. Both dials can be pressing for additional access to the grounds.

Fujifilm X-T30: Image quality

• Excellent image quality is the norm for the X-T30. Colors are accurate, and even when set to Standard (Provia) film simulation, photos are well-saturated for a natural look.
• For the most part, auto white balance worked well under changing lighting conditions. For example, the X-T30 did a good job capturing the vibrant colors of this marigold.
• The auto white balance worked well. General, the 15-45mm kits lens delivered relatively sharp images especially given its inexpensive ($299) price tag.

Fujifilm X-T30: Design

• Here the retro-styled Fujifilm X-T30 is a handsome camera with a solid build. Dense and lightweight, the X-T30 is very comfortable to hold and use.
• Though the grip is a bit shallow for larger hands, the dials are sizing to be a good fit for any pair of hands.
• Though the electronic viewfinder (EVF) is a little small, it’s usually bright. The 3-inch tiltable touchscreen is receptive to touch.
• Here Touch focus and touch shutter work well, and you can swipe and pinch/zoom images in Playback mode.
• And also, it’s a little less responsive when using touch to change settings in the Quick menu (the joystick and command dials are faster). You can’t steer the main menus by touch, though.
• However, the small, on-camera pop-up flash illuminates to a distance of about 20 feet and its TTL (through the lens) metering works very well.
• Though I shot these blooms close-up (probably less than a foot), the flash did not blow out the highlights on the petals.

Fujifilm X-T30: Video

• Full HD (2048 x 1080) at 60p/24p; and Full HD (1920 x 1080) high-speed recording at 120p.

• 10-bit out with 4:2:2 color space via HDMI and an F-Log profile broader dynamic range and more color grading flexibility.
