- Fuji recently released a new X series camera to there line up to follow up the X-T20 on their more consumer side but from the specs, this camera is almost identical to the proline X-T3 so why would you pay the extra money? In this video, I go through all of the difference between the X-T30 and X-T3 to help you decide which one will be right for you.

I'll save you the 9 minutes: if you want good AF for fast-moving subjects, proper 60fps 4K video, weather-sealing and a full flip-out screen go for the X-T3.
Thanks mate for saving my 9mint.
And dual card slots
Thank you.
But I want to save 600$ tho.
@@badhabit714 good point
The front dial on the x-t30 can control both your ISO and aperture! Just press it to toggle between the two! You can also press and hold to customize those settings to your liking.
thanks
Thank you, great review!! I'll get the X-T3 for sure!!
I love that camera still go back to it for stills fuji just nails it with the color and film emulations.
I love them both. Thanks, mate.
Very useful video, make my decision to go with the T-X3 clearer.
Its a great camera you wont be disappointed!
1) You can monitor audio on the X-T30 with any Type-C headphones or a dongle. You even have a headphone logo on the flap, clearly visible on 2:47
2) They have exactly the same AF system, both with over 2m PDAF PIXELS (!) with 425 hybrid phase detect AREAS. In fact X-T30 at launch had better AF performance, X-T3 only caught up through software updates
so main difference would be water-resistance body.
Alan KH for it to work you will also need proper lens.
@@4lan and the 10 bit internal @ 400Mbps video rate vs only 8 bit internal 200Mbps on the xt30 if that is a big deal to you in post production
XT3 does not have internal flash?
Helpful summary. I bought the X-T30 because I already have an X-T2 and the upgrade benefits of the X-T3 were not really substantial in my opinion. The smallness for street photography and travel is what I needed. Honestly the difference in image quality on the XT-2 is not noticeable, and the X-T2s autofocus is still wonderful even though the X-T3 is superior.
Yeah the only thing I like about XT 3 series is the WR...don't care for anything else about it... size sucks also. Prefer lighter for hiking/travel/street...which is basically all I shoot.
Do you recommend it for taking videos? :-)
Great direct to point.thank you.
I had considered getting the X-T30, but now you've just confirmed my suspicions that I should just go with the X-T3 anyway.
Great video! I own the x-T30 and I love that it’s small. Just put a camera strap on it and your good to go.
YOU'RE good to go
@@edwinov Where were you four years ago?
@@johnnydee7480 I've been fixing grammatical errors on YT for 9 years and only today got to fix yours. I'm in high demand. Sorry.
What lighting did you use to film the review? - great review, I think I am going to go with the X-T3 :)
Thanks, man! What camera did you use to record the video?
Good review, thank you.
One difference not addressed in most comparisons I have seen is that XT-3 uses UHS II card but XT-30 uses a UHS I memory card which s slower. I still went with XT-30 (get it next week) as a backup to my XH-1 which has many desirable features, except size.
-
xh-1 is a great camera especially if you will be doing more video work.
What camera and lense did you use on the product shots in this video? I really like it.
Thank you so much for so detailed size comparison shots. I specifically searched for small body that could fit into a coat/jacket pocket with pancake lens attached and the T-x0 series fits quite nice. T-x not so much. Going even smaller there is MFT Olympus E-PL8 with a pancake zooms/primes.
U can set custom buttons and dials for ss, iso and aperture on the xt30, never used any menu
Thanks. Your video clears things up. I prefer a small size, I don't do video, only shoot still subjects, don't need weather-sealing or dual slots, use only auto ISO, and far prefer flip down to flip out. Looks like the X-T30 is made to order.
Bought the X-T30 + the 23mm f2.0 lens from Amazon for $899, total ! That's it ! Canon 5DMK4 owner, GH4 owner, GH5 owner, Sony A7S owner, and thee only thing I'm using right now is the X-T30, all the way. Shooting a mini-doc on w/ it as we speak and so far so good. Image quality is great, not noisy at all, super light, battery lasts long, have a Sony 128GB card in there, this camera is perfect for what I do, as well as shoot photos.
I'm thinking about this at 850€, but xh1 is around 1050 and xt3 at 1250. I like grip and ibis of xh1 but don't know how af is limited compared to xt3. Xt30 seems to be a great bargain, but way soo small for my hands 😕 I'm an amateur, maybe sometimes can use it for youtube video and usually with tele. The only pain is the small body and the non weather sealing. Xt3 is quite expensive, out of budget to get a good starting lens with.
so now it costs more than that after 1 year? Ridiculous
Jorge Rico wow. Just seen this. A year later. Still using the cam + lens, how much is it now ?!
anywhere we can watch your mini doc?
@@tompopov302 Not the mini doc but, I shot a whole music video on the XT30 that has millions of views... CZcams: Jhene Aiko "None Of Your Concern"
X-T3 for the weather sealing and the bigger body, moving from a DSLR (possibly) and don't like small bodies on cameras.
Thank you for making the video! :-)
Any battery grips you recommend for X-T30? I have really big hands but I like this camera
You can use type-c to 3.5mm to monitor audio
XT30 is a watered down version of the XT3. If you intend using it for pro use, XT3 is your camera. Even though priced higher than the XT30, its still considerably cheaper than it's FF competitors like the A7III and EOS R.
Spot on. The only thing I'd add is the difference in low light vs the A7iii. I use the XT3 for daytime wedding vid and Sony when reception and the evening hits.
This is awesome for travelling - I love it😎😇🎬⛩
"This"? there are 2 here.
Hello do you know how to check shatter count or mileage fujiixt3?
Hi
Xt3 has Bluetooth
And
The af on the xt30 is the newer version of the firmware just out now for xt3!
But lack of iso dial is s pain.
xt30 is small af but there are many custom grips to buy that makes it way better to hold
What’s that watch you wore in the video? Looks cool!
is from MVMT www.mvmtwatches.com/products/classic-monochrome its this face but with a black band
I’m kinda stuck because i would get the xt30 for my needs, but the better viewfinder and handling of the xt3 are something that i would apreciate very much, are those two factors worth it?
Personally I think so, if your serious about photography then the xt3 will be a better long term camera.
Is one better than the other in picture quality or is there literally no difference?
Hi, I am amateur enthusiastic photographer. I am not sure whether to buy mirrorless camera (xt 30) or a DSLR camera. Budget of around 900$. Can someone please help.
forget about both..just grab a xt20 and pair it with a 23 or 35 prime..I assure you can have the same image quality with xt30 or xt3..
On paper they are almost the same, but in actual use I prefer the XT3. Worth the extra cost.
Explain
@lensprotogo, what are you using as the hot-shoe mount external monitor?
Wish the XT3 had a built in flash like the XT30, for the kind of street photography I do, it really comes in handy to have a built in flash, and the XT30 delivers just the perfect amount of light almost everytime.
Alright, thanks for the video!
Started wondering about the two because of all their similarities, however it seems that my heart is going towards the xt3.
The reason for that is that i own a XT10 which is a great camera but want/need something with better quality for landscapes (no debate here...), low light, cityscape and street photography. The deal breaker on the XT30, that I just discovered thanks to your video, is the missing D-pads. I have it on my XT10 and use it for ergonomics (shortcuts especially) if I don't have this flexibility this means waste of time and when shooting I don't always have hours ahead of me (or have people pushing me around :D).
In addition, being a landscape photographer WR is a good feature (although my XT10 never let me down event after being quite wet and dusty), flip screen is really something I miss from time to time. and finally, the good quality and larger view finder is a great "nice to have feature" (which help to justify the price of the XT3 too).
I think I'll go for the XT3 and keep my XT10 as a back up or second camera as I really love its small size and weight.
Trudging back through some videos because I definitely want a little camera I have two hulking NikonD 8 50s that I take out for landscape shooting I want a small camera that can fit in the side of the bag and doesn’t then take over the whole Photography process so I think for me the XT 30 might be really good I just want it for a few snaps around town a bit of street photography do the odd little short video when I need to interview somebody but I think for me I can put some nice glass on the XT 30 and seriously it will take as good a photo as the xt three or even XT4
Can you give me a feeling about the weather resistance of Xt3 and Xt30? Perhaps I went out to sea, the Xt30 will be more easily damaged than Xt3. I only take pictures and very rarely do movies that do not know which two types will suit me.
I know this is 4 months old, but nobody replied to you so I thought I would. The X-T3 is weather sealed, the 30 is not. So for any tough environments, definitely the X-T3. The X-T30 has absolutely no weather sealing although it's very well built.
How many autofocus points on xt3???
The XT-3 does have bluetooth
Thanks for the correction it was the X-T20 that didn't have it.
LensProToGo all the “3” have Bluetooth. The xe-3 was the first one. Anyway nice informal review.
They can all use the app via Wireless, but the XT20 does not have bluetooth built in and there is no mention of it in the cameras user manual. Thanks!
Ok I don't know what to get the Panasonic G 95 or the XT30 ? whats better for street photography and short film ?
What did you get? 4 yrs later. Lol
Panasonic G 95 @@blackamus
What do you mean "better codex"? What does codex mean?
i just got the fuji x-t30 and i love it but i do not know how to tether with capture one. any solution?
after 7 months, you like it?
And would u recommend it for taking videos? :-)
100%
Hi for both wich one that you recommend? Thanks
I personally would take the X-T3
I am looking to upgrade from my Nikon D3300 to a more advanced camera with better video capabilities. I am looking to do interviews, mini-docs and short films. More professional work. Should I go with the XT3 or the XT30?
maybe then the xt3 since the video specs are better and thats your main focus
Personally I’m interested only in the image quality, is one better than another.
no.
In August 2020, you can find X-T3 brand new that costs less than X-T30, so the value proposition is pretty much flipped now.
October now, XT-3 $999 XT-30 $899, where do you find it cheaper?
Ill get the XT3, because I just got started, and Id rather pay more and not think that I am missing out on things I need in the future, than buying the cheaper model and later finding out, that I need more stuff
That's smart.. but everyone like me will try to save some bucks now and cry later
menu system looks so awful, how easy to used to xt series for nikon user?
The XT3 DOES indeed have Bluetooth and the AF points are exactly the same!
What is this man talking about 2 million autofocus points🤷
@Alan Roque same with xt30 and android phone
Which ones better fujifilm xt30 or Panasonic lumix lx100 mk2 for pictures
supashaker1 sure lx100
To me the X-T30 looks like a bigger X-E3..... great camera. I will look into it. Thanks.
What about image quality ?
The videos tests on youtube shot on a xt3 seem to be on a complete different level
Am I wrong ?
Yes, they have the exact same sensor, image quality will be indentical
Patrick Seute Stop giving nonsense advice when you don’t have any anyyy idea. Xt3 shoots 10bit 4.2.0 internally. It makes a big difference when it comes to post-production. Xt3 also shoots all intra 400mbps when you shoot 4k 24p and 200mbps 4k60p 10 bit internally
I shoot wearing eye glasses. The X-T3 viewfinder is designed to work well while wearing eye glasses (more distance for eyepoint).
I know the X-T30 viewfinder has less distance for eyepoint, and is therefore not as good for wearing glasses. What I need to figure out is if X-T30 viewfinder is good enough.
Maybe you can use a smaller aperture for your video shooting cause I can only see your face clearly not the camera in your hands.
honestly i dont know which one i should get, i'm going on a 25 days trip to vietnam and i dont want to lug around my 5Dmk3+24-105mm lens, the whole thing is almost 5 pounds so i figured it would be the a good opportunity to go mirrorless. Basically i have to choose between lighweight or weather sealing. And weather sealing is a big deal to me just as much as the weight. i mean i was in cambodia this year and between the rain and the dust, i dont think the xt30 would have liked it. I understand that the xt3 + lens would still be much lighter than the 5D but i wanted to go as light and as small as possible without compromising too much on image quality. I dont do videos so i dont care about that. I mostly do travel photography and landscapes. So guys, what what would you recommend? Price isn't an issue.
@@cosasderu I went with the xt3, light enough for me and thank god for the weather sealing! I was biking up north in the rain through the jungle of Vietnam and I'm telling you, xt30 wouldn't have liked it
The best comparison of these two models. Very clear. Thanks.
4:23 I doubt if thats right ?
How is af on xt3(with 1.4 lenses)? i would like to see comparision against sony a6400
I find it works really well especially with the eye detect, its really responsive and accurate.
man, a photo channel that holds up Blurred cameras!!! Ever heard of wide angle!:)
what about the image quality? are they produce the same result (in still mode)?
Yeah same
Maybe I'd just wait for the next round of models =p
What are they missing that you would want to see in the next version
@@lensprotogo nothing really, just like to see whats next : )
@@lensprotogo Full frame and IBIS and flip out screen
LensProToGo a flip out screen
The record limit of 10 minutes on the XT-30 makes it pretty unusable for video when recorded internally in my opinion. I find the 30 minute cap annoying enough. I also wonder if you hit record straight away after it hits the cap if it will straight away overheat, which I think it might.
That’s why I bought a GH5s, sometimes for corporate events we are recording for over 2 hrs straight and can’t have the cameras overheating or cutting out.
Also worth noting that it’s nice in the XT3 that it has 10 bit, but it’s h.265 which is crazy demanding when editing, it will definitely need to be transcoded if you are using Premiere Pro if you haven’t got a super computer, I’ve heard it’s better with Final Cut and Davinci though.
They look like good options for hybrid shooters, but have a lot of quirks I think people aren’t aware of when just reading a spec sheet.
NXN Musi, I can't agree enough on the standard 30 min or 10 min egg timers on cameras. That's why I've been using the G7 and GX85 for a long time for unmanned tripod long video shoots in 4k. The sony A6400 is so tempting since they lifted the 30 min cap. I really hope that Sony will do this on all their future cameras. I want the A7III but the 30 minute limit is not an option. That limit is guaranteed to ruin many videos.
jeffhalebopp yeah a lot of these cameras are classic form over function. They give them the smallest possible bodies which really limits what they are capable of. I would much prefer a slightly bigger body that doesn’t overheat and has more functions.
The record limit was due to tax reasons I believe as well, I think that was lifted for 2019. Hopefully that means all cameras should have unlimited record time in the future as long as they don’t overheat...
@Phil Jones65 Yeah exactly. Even my Panasonic G80 that's cheaper can shoot 30 minute 4k and the American models can even do unlimited!
@@98JamesNixon 10 min can be fine if automatically starts another clip without interruption, is it possible on this camera?
@@nerdMike No it just stops, you have to press record again for it to start going which is a pain
A presentation with errors, not what one needs when trying to choose
I heard the X-T30 is prone to overheating, is this true?
no
The 30 is weather sealed according to google results….??
Which one is the best for 4k video?
XT3
agree with that, xt3 records internal at 10 bit 400Mbps
I got it i just bought for 1650 euro together with kit lens...i need some more tools such as gimbal also a decent pc and so on to make my video and photo..
mario camilleri Congratulation! You made the right choice. With a gimbal it’s going to be perfect!
Now i am looking to a good pc with the right built but it like i dont want to spend to much. Any help? I need it only for 4k video.
Is XT30 is good for weedings when I dont have budget for XT3? Or I should buy Xt2?
Depends of the lens you put on it.
for weddings dual card slots for backups is a necessity, so xt2/3 makes more sense. video on xt2 is lacking tho.
your hands are out of focus ( Other than that Thanks for useful info
Dust on your sensor at 4:31
Yup there sure is haha had to keep it off these mirrorless cameras especially when doing open camera sensor shots like this
YOU MAKE NO SENSE. YOU SAY THE SAME SENSORS BUT AUTOFOCUS POINTS DIFFERS :D IT'S NOT.
THEY HAVE THE SAME FOCUS POINTS.
One huge difference not mentioned in your video, despite sharing the same processor the XT30 does not offer tethering!!!
you do realize there is a difference between phase detection pixels and auto focus points right? The 2.1 million phase detection pixel is not the same as auto focus points. They are not the same concept. Maybe you should get your facts straight before making a claim like that...
Are they made of same material? in other video guy said X30 is made of composite, T3 is from magnesium alloy
Yep XT30 feels like a holga. Lol. But still great images.
Why do you say there’s no iso dial? There very much is an iso dial on the top...it’s on the right side, not the left.
The three dials on the xt30 are mode dial, shutter speed, and exposure compensation. There is no ISO dial on this model.
Hi af same as xt3!
Does the xt3 and xt30 screen size the same?
To Ni yes, what is diferent is the evf (x0.74 vs x.62 magnification)
Nice 2 cameras BUT Make sure you rent the camera using the links below 😂 almost believed u tho 😂😂😂hahaha jist kidding man
xt-30! why? because that's all i need for travel photography. raw, auto iso, aperture priority, amall body...that's it ;-)
Can u recommend it for taking „cinematic shots“ in low aperture and all? :-)
Unless it's raining
The reason the XT-3 doesn't have a built-in flash is that it's considered a professional body. That's not a deficit. Most pro-level bodies don't have internal flashes.
Few false statements in this video.
few, as you wrote.... or A Few?
Get an xt3 ... and thank me later.
what about xpro3
X pro1 x ever
X-t3 is to small why would you buy something smaller
I would think for people traveling and needing something ultra compact.
Love the xt30 but the video record limit is a joke. Even with an external recorder you will get overheating...but that's over an hr. I've used the xt30 and a6400. If the video was better I'd easily chose the xt30, bit not with that weak recording limit.
What would you be recording where you need to let one clip last longer than 10min ? Do you shoot documentaries ?
@@TopshelfJunior prob about 50 minute lectures/presentations. I feel like you're getting to close to the limit at that point.
@@Princeton_James You could use the remote app to start/stop the recording at key breaks in the presentation - like say if the lecturer stops to drink water or if there is a point where there is non-important information like telling some needless joke or some story about his kids etc... just an idea
1:59 - this Q button placement is a total shit, I just HATE this camera because of it! It's annoyingly easy to press it accidentally!
You need to clean your house. Vacuuming needed. Too much dust on camera. There is a dust even on your camera sensor! That means your house is seriously full of dust.
B@H now is selling the X-T3 for only $999, just $100 more than the X-T30, due to the new Fujifilm X-T4
Well, long story short: if you want to have a real Fujifilm old retro Style Camera, go for the T3! In my opinion the T3 beats the small counterpart in almost every department! THe only benefit is the smaller size...
aldeen1982 and money..
Buy X-T4. Much better (IBIS and very good battery!) and sometimes even cheaper than X-T3.
looks wayyyyy to small
Man children in baseball hats are not my preferred authority . If I wanted a review of the latest dab rigs, maybe ..
Video is irrelevant, i use blue tooth on my X-H1 a lot im looking at it as a back up camera vs X-E3.
The problem with your video is that you are judging the X-T30 based on a professional photographer's needs. You are not reading your target audience correctly. Your viewers for this video are beginners and amateurs who are not looking for a camera to do professional level or work. These viewers would prefer to have a mode dial rather than an ISO dial and they would prefer to have a built-in flash rather than forking over more money for an external one. Come on man, come down from the rafters and know your audience and address them based on THEIR needs. Not yours.
“Until”, not “till”
Xt3 all the way. No D pad and poor Q button placement kills the xt30
