Fujifilm X-T30 Mark II
The X-T30 II is an update to what was previously Fujifilm’s most popular X-series camera, the X-T30. More recently, Fujifilm released the X-S10, which features a more DSLR-like design, as well as built in in-body image stabilisation (IBIS). But at just under £1,000, should you be looking at the X-S10; or for under £800, does the X-T30 II still warrant the love the X-T30 found?
While the X-T30 was released in 2019 for £849 body only, the X-T30 II boasts an improved specification for just £769. This makes it very competitively priced considering what is on offer.
You get the same 26.1MP APS-C X-Trans 4 CMOS sensor as used in the flagship X-T4, which is roughly twice the price, as well as the same image processor. The X-T30 II also features 4K CINE video recording, a 3in, 1.62-million-dot screen, and an electronic viewfinder. Fujifilm says that buying this camera gives you the same image quality as the X-T4, but the X-T30 II does without higher-end features such as weather-sealing and IBIS.
However, rather than focus on the differences between the X-T4 and X-T30 II, we thought it’d be better to look at the differences compared to the original X-T30. New to the X-T30 II are a higher-resolution 1.62m-dot 3in touchscreen; Classic Neg and Eterna Bleach Bypass film simulation modes; an improved multi-exposure mode with up to 9 shots; high-speed video recording (Full HD, 240fps), the improved autofocus system from the X-T4, increased buffer memory, and a refreshed menu system that splits stills and movie settings.
