Love your tours of Calgary, and you two are great on camera. Really good video!
Fujifilm X-T30 looks great and thanks for a great review!
There's one thing Fujifilm does extremely well and it's that they make cameras that I really want to buy. I have no need of 4k60p so I can put the money I was saving up for the X-T3 into the X-T30 and get an extra lens or two into the bargain. Damn good review too, thank you guys.
I said the same all the Len's or not super high
How is the overheating problem on video ?
Just got the camera 📷 I’m really happy with it
8 reviews for XT 30 popped in my subscription list at the same time last night, you guys’ is one of my two favorites. Each episode gets better. Thank you!
Awe thank you. :)
Sorry to be offtopic but does anybody know of a tool to get back into an instagram account??
I somehow lost my password. I love any tricks you can give me!
@Gannon Malakai instablaster :)
I still love my X-T10 but this is tempting.
Love it when Ev talks about the film "stimulations".
Thnx guys, amazing! Personally i cant wait for x100(5th version). i really hope for the such internals + sharper (close focus) f2 lens. Mmmmm.
Great review! Thank you.
Wow, that girls backflip is great!
She's a rockstar that Rehanna. ;)
Yeah the first review!!
Great video, watched only a few of your other videos but had no idea that you were based in Calgary. Have to say that due to this video (and partly due to your location) that you got a new customer today.
Hi Dale, that is awesome. Thanks for watching and for shopping locally at The Camera Store.
Guys, this is a great review. The Plus 15 makes me want visit and photograph Calgary a lot more now. Thanks.
I was wondering if it would be possible for you to review various EF to XF mount speed boosters with various "new" EF lenses?
I'm trying to make a decision on a first camera in a number of years for photo and video and want as many lens options as possible. Specifically, I really would love to see the Sigma 105mm ART adapted via the Metabones, Steelsring, Fringer, and Kipon Baveyes adapters to an XT-30.
If I could buy a new camera, that one would be it
Haha came looking for some reviews for this one and found you! Small internet world it is :) -Luci
@@texasjezzy87 I try to keep up with what all the photography youtubbers are posting, so I try to watch and comment on all their videos - you'll always find me :3
@@texasjezzy87 Ps I do recommend this camera! I'll visit home in August
@@Noealz nice! I just pulled the trigger! :) mix of things but Im trying to also transfer some light videography from an external company to doing in house for work since its just interviews most times! If you ever make it around Austin at any point, I think it'd be cool to bring you in for one of our talks :)
@@texasjezzy87 Sure! used to live in san marcos, ill message you if I'm around
Best of all, it still has #filmstimulation ! Nice review from you two.
Very good job I bougth allready
I have one!! YAY!!
Great job guys! I want to visit Calgary someday. Quick question, does the Xt30 allow you to watch audio levels on the LCD while recording? And can the levels be set manually? The X-T3 offers these features, but the X-T20 does not, so I’m curious
Nice camera. 🇨🇦
Last firmware update, you can reassign Q button as you wish or disable btw! Hello better back button focus
0:10 Happy Valentine's Day!!!
Just picked a clean one up used. Miss the 4-way D-pad but I'm not complaining. It was only $480! Great little camera!
This is an excellent camera presentation. Lovely balance of information and opinions. I don't shoot Fuji, yet, but this has stimulated my interest. I am concerned, however, about the reported viewfinder size, something that might turn off my continuing interest in this particular model. I have handled and have been impressed with the X-H1 which as far as I remember had a pretty good viewfinder. It might seem silly but for me a decent sized viewfinder is one of the first requirements when composing/capturing images. Thanks for this stimulating piece of work.
Thanks for watching Jackie. We appreciate the feedback.
Thank you guys for another great review. So, what do you think the XH-2 will be? Will we see an XH-2 at all?
yeah
man... you guys are making me want to buy a Fuji... I'm a Nikon shooter... love my Nikon but dang it, Fujifilms cameras are so sexy... great price too... just wish it had IBIS. Fuji's aps-c lens line up seems unmatched... great eco system. Nice review!
As a Fuji user, I agree with the general brilliance of Fuji's native APS-C lens lineup, but also keep in mind that third party lenses are more readily available for competing systems. But this is one of the biggest reasons I chose the Fuji system.
IBIS is available only in the X-H1 (which is basically X-T2 + IBIS). Rumors are that there won't be an X-H2 till at least 2020.
Overall, I've been very happy with my Fuji cameras and will not be going back to Canon. There's still a difference between full frame and APS-C, but I also gain from that difference in some ways.
I had been a Nikon user for 25 years. Have had many awesome film SLR's (FM2, F3, F100) and a couple DSLR's (D90, D700, D7100), and I switched to Fuji in June of 2018. I bought a used (6month old at the time) Fujifilm XE3, essentially a baby XPro 2, with the amazing 18-55 kit lense. I haven't looked back. I sold my D90 and D700, and a couple of lenses I rarely used anymore. It's small and easy to handle, very sexy looking, and takes great photos with the very flexible 18-55 kit lense. I hardly carried my SLR's anymore due to weight/bulkiness, so switching to Fuji had made realize how much I was missing out on the street, being easy to carry around all day. I only have 2 small gripes: It's NOT weather sealed, and the battery sucks. Weather sealing is not too much of a big deal, but if you plan on being out all day, like more than a couple of hours shooting, then carry an extra battery or your charger. Other than that, I'm glad I got it.
@@daytripp79 The battery sucks across the Fuji lineup, so there's no escape there. But it's not THAT much worse than other mirrorless cameras. Digital SLRs will always be better in that regard without live view active and with optical viewfinders.
As far as weather sealing, the main X-T cameras (X-T2 and X-T3) are weather sealed, so that should hopefully not be a deterrent from getting into the Fuji system.
I was not aware that there was any general view that the sensors in the XT20 and XT2 left anything significant to be desired. On the contrary, there was an almost universal agreement in the reviews I read/viewed, that the OCC quality of the pictures was first class. Would appreciate ISS or whatever acronym body stabilisation is called.
Edmonton people here !
Best camera ever price wise so cheap
Nice review. Just some suggestions, I would like if you guys give comparison from some competitor in this price segment. I personally want to know how it compare to X-T20 and competitor from Sony in autofocus and out of camera jpeg quality. So I think as a reviewer, we have to think about the audience's need when they watch the video, and our information should help them to know more about the camera and also help them decide which camera they should buy. Overall, you guys did a lot of improvement and I wish I could another great review in the future..
Thanks for the feedback/suggestions.
can you please test if the autofocus pulses when using touch to focus to change focus area (rack focus) in video mode? my XH1 and XT3 both hunts at the very last bit when the focus is close to set on subjects, it goes over a bit, and then come back to focus. This issue seems only to appear when using "area" mode, not in "multi“ mode.
Which lens was used for these shots? Great review
contemplating between Xt30, Sony a6400 & A6500
What about rolling shutter? I only see this recording limit as my problem and i hope they gonna eliminate it because i read that the EU law about this silly tax is over now. I am looking for a cam mostly for video and i am near to a6400 but the rolling shutter thing and the bad/soft 1080p keeps me still away. So if this has no rolling shutter or at least is minimum and had a no recording limit... pffff .... i think i would be allready conviced to buy it.
There is very little rolling shutter on the X-T30. It is one of the best performing APS-C sensor cameras in terms of reducing rolling shutter, and much better in that regard when compared to the A6400. It does have a record limit of 10 min 4K and 30 min 1080.
@@TheCameraStoreTV Thanks a lot. Lets hope Fuji will remove this limit. Greetings from Athens Greece
Good overview guys. One question. Now that the ISO dial is gone, can I customize one of the control dials to directly access ISO? thx
Yes, the back dial is currently assigned to ISO on my test unit. It works great.
@@TheCameraStoreTV thanks!
I hope that X-T4 ja X-T40 have both IBIS. Looking forward to X-H2.
That would definitely be nice. But, I think IBIS is going to be reserved for the X-H series.
As a Fuji user since xe1 I don't want IBIS and if I did I would buy an XH1 or 2?
How ab a xh10? A xt30 with ibis?
can you use the joystick like the thumbpad for shortcuts ?
What would u recommend for aspiring photographer and filmmaker? This or the Sony A6400. So hard to choose!
I;m looking to the Panasonic G 9 or the G90 !
I can’t decide between the XT30, M6mk2 or the a6400
XT30 or A6400 which one is better for photography ?
With the x-t30, is it possible to assign one button to "rec mode"? It is absurd to not have this possibility (X-T2 /3 and X-T20...)
No, it looks like you have to move the camera into video mode on the left dial, then uses the shutter button for "record".
Still waiting for X-Pro3 with new larger capacity battery
A big juicy battery would be great. But, having USB-C charging and the ability to power really helps when you are on the go, or using it up quickly for video.
hi, I'm looking to buy a Fujifilm mirrorless, which does you more recommend xt3 or this new xt30 thanks
Weather sealing, two sd slots, the ability to use a battery grip. If things like that matter then go xt-3.
For image quality, nikon d7500 or fuji xt30??
What camera u use to record this video
why u no full frame fuji?!
I live in Calgary and I don't even know about Plus 15 😂
Should I buy the xt-30 or the Sony a6400?
i suggest a6400 only $988 amzn.to/2Ev67b0 , fyi xt-3 now $1,399 amzn.to/2EtMNLd
If you were shooting video or sports and action, A6400 --> bit.ly/2GMCIeI But, for portraits and travel photography, I'd prefer the handling of the X-T30 --> bit.ly/2Nrc7Vj
I'm so stuck between getting the X-T3 and X-T30!
John S for portability, i suggest to buy X-T30.
Charles Mahono I actually recently bought an X100V. Love it!
0:36
Should have went to the new library for the review 😂
Haha, it would have been a little too crowded in there. ;)
Would be great if it had IBIS
Never met a bad canadian !
Its is worth it to buy a xt30 on dec 2019
Hell yes. On sale now too
Not really that much of an upgrade form the XT-20. I would wait till an actual upgrade in sensor. Batteries are unchanged and the "USB-C" is a gimmick. A larger view finder would make it a buy for me, but fortunately its not. Does it actually do F-Log? *IBIS FUJI??*
what is the brand of your wrist straps
Peak Design
So a6400 or xt30?
You have to think in lenses not just bodies!!
the guy looks like Chip Foose :)
I suggest not telling us the specs, we can read that. Tell us how you really feel about it, how it actually works.
The sound has a lot potential for improvements. It really makes it a pain to follow. The woman - I guess Evelyn - is really hard to understand, if volume cannot be increased, because it constantly changes between volume ok and practically unhearable. This is also a result of how she speaks. Just try to talk with a more constant voice and maybe find some better microphones.
Thanks for your feedback. I will admit that the venue was a tough location for sound and I wish we had better mics. But, we work with what we have.
@@TheCameraStoreShorts Sounded fine to me !
sony a7s
That panasonic gx85 has stabilization built it and it's half the price.
Not in the same league...
4/3 though
I have a GX8 and a X-T3. The GX85 is not in the same league as the XT-30. And IBIS is overrated.
No ibis so not for me with my shaky hands.
Aplus205 Sober up
"Why that person is covering the name of his X-T20?"
Doing this isn't more obvious? I always questioned that.
We do it so that if someone spots it in "the wild", they don't have confirmation that the model number is the new product before the announcement.
The joy-stick is a great innovation but on Fuji cameras it basically has one non-programmable function, and one I never use. I focus and recompose as do many photographers. Now that they’ve removed the D-pad and make us use an unstable, unpredictable and inconvenient to use swipe function why won’t fuji give us the option of programming the joy-stick to something we’d prefer, like using it the way we used to use the time honored and still very functional D-pad??? Removing the D-pad was a production cost saving and I don’t like being told it’s an advance. IT IS NOT. Bad move Fuji. Bad dog.
Does this camera match the soon to be 4 f2 WR lenses? It doesn’t look like it but hard to tell on a video. I have not seen one review, including the Fuji guys, where they show a silver T20 with a silver f2 WR lens. Gee, should be a match made in heaven, so why is that?
I know my silver T3 doesn’t match the 35mm f2 silver lens I bought for it. Very disappointing, especially since I bought it used and can’t return it. It looks like a third party lens on the camera. Maybe a small thing, but I wish someone other than myself would complain to fuji about their inability to match silvers. Stop making a new shades of silver until you match the lenses and bodies you already have. When I raised the issue with Fuji their response was, “our records indicate no one else has complained about this.” The implications being I was a crank. They’re either not telling me the truth or now quality control is simply a matter of popular vote. “Who’s going to notice so who cares.” SO PICK UP THE PHONE OR FIND FUJI SUPPORT ON LINE AND VOTE. They can’t fix the ones out there but they can match up the lens silver going forward, so why don’t they?
Far too many of these fuji camera reviews have become advertisements.
Do all fuji cams have lame battery life?
No, actually the new X-H2 and X-H2s have excellent battery life.
@@TheCameraStoreTVlooking at D800e. I don’t do video. Thoughts? Security D3500 for the 1500 shot battery.
No image stabilisation AT ALL, with not even a lens based option available, a deficiency that become obvious as soon as you've shown handheld footage. That, and the awful focus-by-wire lens(why Fuji? Why?), are kind of deal breakers.
To expensive for me
Am the 1st....
Talk talk talk... Like 10 seconds of actual footage from the camera...
Not even one still in this review....
We showed several stills.The first few stills were all with the XT30 when we talk about the sensor, there's also a side by side with an XT3 etc.
Please stop saying “yeah”
What no Chris Im outa here
Bye, Felicia
@@TheCameraStoreTV bye your just jealous because you suck now without Chris
Considering the price, I'd say eos RP is better.
Now consider the lens prices.
Yoan Mitov The price of fuji lens is not cheap either.
McGrady Lu they are cheaper than RF lenses though. As they should be.
The only thing the Canon RP has going for it over the Fuji is it sensor size, and even then the XT-3 sensor that this XT-30 has is arguably a far superior and more advanced sensor than the sensor that in the RP. as a professional photographer the RP is a very little interest to me, while this XT-30 would be something I would be quite interested in carrying for fun as nice little walk around camera. in terms of price this camera is cheaper gives you more capabilities, with more variety of purpose-designed lenses, with arguably better image quality and more dynamic range. Unless you are buying f 1.4 or faster Canon RP glass, this camera with its f 1.2 glass at more reasonable price points from Fuji as compared to native RP glass will stomp all over the RP in all ways that normally the full-frame sensor would be an advantage for.
buddyWalrus Just check the price of the 35mm marco RF lens, compare it to fuji's 23mm apsc lens' price.
7 months later we don’t need to know what sensor is in the damn camera....waste of time.
It's a Sony sensor, duh.
You can skip over that portion.
I mentioned it because some people haven't tuned into what is new with cameras for a long time. But, my main point is that this camera has a high-tech sensor and features, but that all you really need to know is that you'll get great images with it just like the X-T3. That being said, I will take your point into consideration. We appreciate the feedback.
Of course you could just skip that part of the video with the press of a button, but its much easier to get butthurt and complain on a free video 🤔
