Fujifilm X-T30 II

The Fujifilm X-T30 II is good for travel photography. It has a small, lightweight body that feels well-built and makes it easy to take on the go. JPEG photos look excellent straight out of the camera, with minimal noise and pleasing colors. While it has plenty of physical dials and buttons that make it easy to adjust settings on the fly, it can also feel a bit cramped due to its small size. Its battery life is also somewhat limited, although you can use it while charging via USB.

Product details

  • Assured Image Quality X-T30 II uses Fujifilm’s fourth-generation X-Trans CMOS 4 back-illuminated sensor, designed to minimize noise, while also extending sensitivity to ISO 160. The unique structure of the X-Trans color filter array also minimizes moiré and false colors, without the need for an optical low pass filter – ensuring the best possible image quality, packed with detail and vibrant, true-to-life color.
  • Incredible Focusing in All Conditions Never miss a moment, thanks to the X-Processor 4 quad-core CPU inside X-T30 II. It offers fast, accurate autofocusing in as little as 0.02 secs on any subject, but significant enhancements have been made to the original X-T30’s ability to track moving subjects, optimizing autofocus for both stills and its powerful 4K/30p video capabilities. Low light focusing performance has also been expanded from the original X-T30 model, down to -7EV (with XF50mmF1.0 R WR attached) for even greater versatility.
  • Advanced Video and Imaging Controls A truly versatile imaging device, X-T30 II offers the ability to record 4K video at 30 frames-per- second, or 240fps at 1080p, to create 10x super slow-motion effects. Filmmakers needing extreme color fidelity can record 10-bit, 4:2:2 color through the camera’s HDMI port, F-Log internally, or video using any one of X-T30 II’s 18 Film Simulation modes. Alongside these, X-T30 II makes it easy to define your own distinctive visual style on still images ­– offering in-camera control over film grain texture, color depth, clarity, sharpness, and highlight and shadow tones.
  • In Touch With Your Creativity From the dial-based operation, and compact, lightweight body, to the latest-generation Fujifilm APS-C sensor, X-T30 II lights up the imagination and inspires creativity ­– fusing cutting edge, convenient features with a vintage aesthetic charm. The three-inch, two-way tilting screen, for example, offers impressive touchscreen functionality, making it easy to get high-quality results in challenging conditions. For those who want to focus purely on light and composition, the Advanced SR Auto mode – easily activated with a lever on the camera’s top plate – automatically chooses the optimum settings from 58 presets.
  • Made for Sharing X-T30 II is primed for sharing. Use Bluetooth or Wi-Fi to share your memories with friends and family on social media, by connecting and downloading images to the FUJIFILM Camera Remote App – or instantly connect and print your favorites from any compatible FUJIFILM INSTAX Smartphone printer.

The X-T30 II is an affordable camera that will serve you well for many years, whether you use it for everyday photos, travel photos, or even landscape photos. If you want something for action or sports and the lighting isn’t perfect, you should probably look elsewhere.

The Fujifilm X-T30 II is just a slight update to one of our highest-rated cameras. Fuji could have done more, but it still remains one of our favorite affordable interchangeable lens cameras.

There’s a lot to like about the Fujifilm X-T30 II. Although it’s a relatively minor upgrade over its predecessor, overall it’s an excellent mid-range camera that’s well suited to travel and everyday photography. It packs a fair punch with a great sensor, cracking AF system and some decent video specs. That said, if you already have the original X-T30, or have a little more budget to spend, it’s worth looking further up the line.
