Fujifilm X-T30 - Hands-On

- For the cost of an iPhone, Fujifilm's X-T30 makes you feel like a pro photographer. The X-T30 arrived on the scene just 6 months after the flagship Fujifilm X-T3, and brings with it many of that camera's advanced specifications and features -- for hundreds of dollars less.
At about $900 for the body only, or $1,000 with a basic kit lens, the X-T30 may leave some X-T3 customers wondering what they paid $1,500 for. After all, it has the same sensor, same processor, same autofocus system, and similar video capabilities, all wrapped up into an even smaller, lighter weight body.

What camera are you using currently that you're really enjoying?
My main system is Fuji, and I love my X-T2, but I'm looking forward to getting an S1 for adapting lenses with. I've waited a long time for a suitable and durable camera for that purpose (i.e. FF FOV) which I wouldn't feel the need to upgrade. (I'm tempted by the X-T30 as well, of course, but I try to skip a generation.)
Digital Trends x-t2. Love it!
I’ve had the X-T30 since the Friday after release and am enjoying it very much. Walking around with the 16mm f/2.8 has been a ton of fun. My lil hands fit on it nicely too lol! All in all a wonderful shooting experience.
Fujifilm xh1 which i bought with battery grip at currently discounted prices.
Digital Trends I am using a 70D which is showing its age, this looks like a great upgrade but is the XT3 the better upgrade....hmmm
This, by far, the best X-T30 review out there. A very real user perspective that it is honest, no non-sense review. Great job and thank you.
Wow, thank you! Glad you enjoyed it, and I appreciate the kind words!
Thanks! Check out our latest review here - czcams.com/video/AUPkDo8z5_I/video.html
One of the best reviews that I have seen so far of this camera...
Really enjoyd the vibe of this review. The calming background music makes it easy to understand and process all the technical info
A very professional and yet a balanced, down-to-earth presentation of the X-T30--done in a modest manner.
Thank you!
Thank you! And thanks for watching.
Fuji did a very nice job here. This is a cheaper camera but they hadn't disabled all the nice features of the expensive ones! I do really like this camera.
A great review. To the point and helps develop a good perspective about the product.
I see Tycho in the background! Nice! Your comparison between the X-T30 and X-T3 was spot on. Great, detailed info!
Thank you very much! (And somebody finally appreciated my Tycho poster! Yay! Haha).
Iv used the XT30 for my last 2 videos and have done 2 photoshoots and for video the F-LOG and Eterna LUT they provide has been a huge help with dynamic range! With my previous XE3 (same sensor as XT20) I had to use the film simulations which were great but still had a videoish look to them. I am also happy with the overall sharpness and detail I get as well.
I hope to do a review video of my XT30 today and release it tomorrow.
I just jumped from an Olympus Pen-F and E-M5 II and after a month of use I have not missed the IBIS in the Olympus bodies.. Since I have never seen an X-T3 in person my purchase of the X-T30 to pair with my beloved X100F I feel I made a great decision and am really enjoying both cameras.
Great Great review! The entire review is quite well organized and explained really smoothly. From the beginning to the ending of the review, it felt like watching one good music video. I especially liked the way female model shown from time to time with nice landscape pictures. It felt like intentionally calculated to keep the audiences from getting bored. I don't know but I feel every time you guys show great master level professional camera reviews. I respect that!
Best XT30 video. Love how the photos of Austin and Portland blend in so seamlessly. Maybe Digital Trends will open an office here in ATX?
Hey, thanks Giulio! Yeah, Austin was a great location to shoot this time of year -- not too hot, and impressively green! Let's go shooting next time I'm in town (or let me know if you make it to PDX).
Really helpful, excellent comparison and review. Thank you!
Thanks for watching, and glad you liked it!
I moved to Portland(Gresham) 3 years ago, from Austin TX where I lived since ‘89. It was neat to see recognize many places from both in your great video, thanks. I am expecting my x-t30 on Monday and stumbled across you video while waiting here patiently for my new Fuji. I love my x-t1but can’t wait get my big hands on that little x-t30 with the big new sensor. Do you do any teaching or mentoring in Portland area. I’d ease of good/great places to photo here. Thanks again for the great warmup to my new little monster. Enjoyed your production. Jeff
great review, thanks! I bought the xt30 yesterday after debating whether I should get the xt3 or 30. So I've used it for a day now and honestly, I'm returning is this afternoon. The grip is just terrible even for someone with small hands like me. It's uncomfortable to hold and changing the settings while shooting feels a bit awkward. I think the xt3 is definitely worth the extra money. However, the picture quality is stunning and if you're looking for a small travel camera or a B-camera for your xt2 or xt3, it's a win.
Excellent review!!
Excellent video. As a X-T20 user, still happy with it, I would love that at least the tally lights could be updated via firmware.
Thank you! And as an X-T2 user, I agree! It's the little things ;-).
Wow...this is the best video I have watched in past 20 days
Thanks so much! Really appreciate the feedback. Let us know what product you'd like us to review next for "Hands-On."
Wow, thank you!
@@digitaltrends - Hey Great video! Crisp & concise. Can you do a comparison of Xt-30 vs Sony A6400??
Great video on this powerful camera. Mine just came yesterday, now to use the downtime we have to learn all the details. Are there any videos out there that you'd suggest to get a good walk through? My other gear is Canon, this is my first Fugi. Love seeing the poster of Portland and the local scenes, I'm also in Portland.
Great video except for this “But if your thinking about upgrading to full frame”. I say just “upgrade” (wtv that means) to medium format to get that “upgrade” in composition power /s. Its not like if u buy sony ff glass u can move to any other ff camera so dont worry what sensor size u have
Fantastic review.
Looking at getting into prairie photography so will be doing some general landscape photos and flower/insect close-ups. Should I look at the X-T2 or the X-T30?
I got 18-55 kit and the amount of settings is a bit overwhelming. Coming from Nikon D5100, it is a pretty smooth transition. Still need to read up on shooting video and find best settings for high quality quick travel shots with good dynamic range and minimal post production.
Here's what I do for squeezing more DR out of the JPEGs: Turn highlights down by 2, turn shadows down by 1. This can be done within the quick menu and, honestly, it usually means I don't need to touch the RAW files - but for some situations, this makes the JPEGs look too muted, requiring contrast to be added back in post.
Thanks for this great review. Have you tried the XT-30 on a Zhiyun Crane M or a Feiyutech G6 plus gimbal? I think since the XT-30 is taller, the gimbal arm might hit the top of the camera in low angle shooting. Also what do you think about the video shooting time limitation
Excellent Review
Thanks for the thoughts!
Well maybe just me but I still love to have some weight and grip for my camera so I went with the XT-3 which offers a solid but far from heavy weight and better grip. Not to mention the specs are higher too! Love my XT-3! For those who wish to jump ship to Fuji, rest assured you'll never regret, the signature JPEG colours that doesn't need editing to look nice and a true camera unique feel you get from Fuji is distinctive and exclusive. Coming from a ex-Canon user for 4 years.
A lot of people are in that same boat. This is why I'm still using my X-T2. How a camera feels is a big part of the equation.
Agree, don't just treat your camera as a tool, but a creative companion.
Im new to photography and contemplating getting a x-t30.
What kind of lenses did you use when you talked about the missing in-body-stabilization? Did they have OIS? If so I would be a bit disappointed that good OIS lenses can't compensate a missing IBS. And does a gimbal do a better job than OIS?
Cheers and thx for the review
Battery Life????? How many shots on high performance mode on a fully charged battery?
well done video. great pros and cons. (thumbs up guys!)
Thanks! Let us know what you'd like us to review next!
@@digitaltrends i would like to see the Black Magic Cinema 4K reviewed by you guys. I got the original and just don't have the money yet to get the new one
Hey, thanks for watching! Our Pocket Cinema Camera 4K review is here: czcams.com/video/w9HtEjvHAyM/video.html
Great video! I am looking forward to buy Fuji xt-30 for my clothing store and shooting clothes. Do you think that camera is suitable for shooting clothing products in my studio?
This guy content is awesome 😳
Thank you!
Great video! How is the video autofocus with the f1.4 fuji lenses?
Thank you! You know, I didn't actually test any video at f/1.4 -- this video is shot on the 35mm f/1.4R, but mostly at f/2.8. It was pretty spot on there, at lest for a nonmoving subject -- it's a little slow to keep up with a moving subject, but you can probably customize the AF settings to make it perform better here. For still photography, it worked great at f/1.4.
Hello, I have one quick question. Is the black space on the right side of the LCD screen of XT30 something normal? Or you can adjust it to fit full screen?
So the lack of image stabilization in the body for video... can that be fixed with a lense with image stabilization? Or does that make the camera bad for all video? Newbie question I know... thanks in advance. If this can be fixed with a lense, what lenses would be good to use?
Xt30 here. Got back the love for movie and shooting 🤣
On the 5th option of “View Modem
EYE SENSOR + LCD IMAGE DISPLAY, i do not get image display after shoot image??? Do I have to set something up in menu?
Make a comparison of videos and images between her and fujifilm X-H1
For image quality ,fuji xt2 or nikon d7500?
I have it, and I love it.
How to connect 3.5mm audio recording jack in xt30, it has 2.5mm socket
hey one question can use use a type C cable with a battery pack 10000mAh charging it while you are shooting photos or video at the same time? THANKS
Can the xt30 shoot high quality black and white photos in lowlight settings? because I’m thinking of getting one for street photography nothing serious
Hey! Im a beginner and now there is a new t30 . i want to use it for travel fotography and as hobby camera, and taking selfies by myself on a distance with landscape . The camera that i will get needs to be worth the quality and price so i dont need to buy a better one later. So coudn’t decide. What should i do t30, t100 or for the older version t20.
I would definitely pick the X-T20 or X-T30. The X-T100 takes good photos, but the autofocus is too slow, especially if you ever need continuous autofocus (here's my review of that camera, if you're interested: czcams.com/video/GZFM-aIp7aQ/video.html).
I just wondering to purchase this against Sony a6400. I am beginner only want to take photos I don't mind much video. But it will be a travel camera to me as I will use for that mainly. I am not sure if it is really important the weather sealing features, I wish but... Wtat of those cameras or another would you recommend me . Thanks
And I was just considering the canon eos rebel sl3. Looks like the sl3 has a much better grip.
The grip is 100x better but the rest of the sl3 is crap. If you really want a cheap Canon then get the older sl2. The main difference is no 4k. Who cares about that?
Great review, thank you. I bought the X-T30 a few weeks ago and I like it, BUT that Q-button. Horrible! Terrible position. I keep knocking it on by mistake and there doesn't seem to be a way to disable it. Bad design.
Thank you! And yes, I agree -- it was better on the X-T20.
You mean button mapping
background music is too distracting
Very good review. Can someone tell me whether go for the XT30 or the Canon M50? I am looking mostly for video quality and also a flipping screen for vlogging. (budget friendly camera)
How do i turn off the toy filters on my fujifilm xt30 camera? I just want normal colours and not the retro or black and white, etc.
Would you be able to fit an xt20 metal grip on an xt30?
Yes. It fits perfect. I did it.
📸💯❣️
I liked your perspective
I'm little bit concerned about the lens choice for Fuji x series, they are expensive. Which lenses would you recommend for beginner film makers?
In general, I would recommend their f/2 or f/2.8 primes for more budget-friendly options. The 16mm f/2.8, 23mm f/2, 35mm f/2, and 50mm f/2 are all in the $399-$449 range. The choice is a little harder if it's specific to filmmaking, however, because it depends on how you're going to use it. I shoot all these review videos with primes, but every shot is either on a tripod, slider, or gimbal. If you need optical image stabilization, the 18-55mm f/2.8-4 is quite good, but is more expensive at $699 (or get it in a kit for some savings). I've also used the 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 ($899) for video and actually really liked it, too.
@@DavenMathies That's really helpful! I thought that you are using a prime lens as the foreground was very lit!!
it's exactly reason I can't decide to buy X-T30. 18-55 is decent (big plus) but what next ? Primes 23 or 35 are not so good, 50 is very nice. But what about longer zoom or macro lens ? Everything is not so good or very expensive. And Fuji is isolated so no third party lenses like Sigma or Tamron can be used.
I have fuji finepix s 5500 süper ccd sensor. 4 mp. still working good since 2005.. no need to change new models. fuji's marketing policy is cheat the consumers. every six months they marketing a new model. with limited technical additions. instead of paying hunderds of dollars it's better to pay travel expenses...
Why do they keep putting the tripod mount next to the battery!?
Le sigh, it's a problem -- totally blocks the battery door. I know they're trying to make it as compact as possible, but I don't think anybody would mind the camera being a tad taller if it meant there was room to put the tripod thread under the lens mount.
Consider scrapping background music
You must be a giant! That camera is not so tiny as you make it seem!
Recently bought the X-T30 + the 35mmF2, together...for $1098 TOTAL !!! W/ tax + shipping, total. From Amazon.. Felt like it was a good way to get the XT3 sensor + processor, without having to spend the money..
yep, that's true. I just placed the order too for the same specs :D
Yeah, there are some nice "kits" with a lot of those prime lenses right now that make this a pretty unbeatable deal. I'm pondering one myself...
I'm Indian but nice voise sir
Ha, thank you! I'm still not used to the sound of my voice on video.
I wait and take one click to get the shot. It is totally mine, and I am responsible. A film habit.
6:23
I forgive you.
Excellent review, music not so much.
Without the d pad I have no choice but buy the XT3.
@blacklizted I tried it, it's to small and to low plus I loose buttons from the d pad that I can customize.
@blacklizted i wish i could try it
No, no, no. It's small, it's not good for handling. I myself have xe2 and xpro1 cameras and while xe2 is faster it's a pain to handle but xpro1 on the other hand is just joy to operate because of it's size. So no to xt-30 for me.
Damn 13.2 what...you really should use grams so we don't get annoyed having to google ancient measures now
Went to the Fujifilm store with cash to buy the Fujifilm xt30 but returned without it
Why?
1) The electronic viewfinder is BAD...blurry and grainy.
2) There is lot of lag if you move the camera viewing through the EVF
3) Its too small for even medium sized ladies hands
4) You are bound to click on the buttons on the back accidentally.
5) The diopter correction dial is too small to use
6) It was a total disappointment for me
I checked Sony A6400 and it was leaps and bound ahead of Fujifilm XT30, it will certainly be a better buy!
Dude you look like Rahul Gandhi btw. If u do not know who that is, look it up :P
