I am in LOVE with how this camera looks. The design is so nostalgic and classic.

[@brucesmith9144]

It’s nice to use and carry around which is why I got it as a second camera and introduction to the Fuji ecosystem. It is not perfect - no camera is - but it takes great pictures, easy to use and is a great value.

[@andi]

Just got my X-T30 this Thursday and I must say, I never had so much fun shooting as with this camera. There is just something about how the Fuji makes you feel while taking pictures that it gives you a totally different vibe as any other. Keep up your great content, I really enjoyed it! :D

[@itsjantore]

I had the exact same feeling with my xt3.

[@WilmarToro]

Hi Andi..... Do you know if this camera allows log video recording?.... Or maybe "eterna"..... ?... Please can you confirm the vídeo profiles? Thank you so much!!!!

[@andi]

@@WilmarToro Hey :) Yes, I checked the settings and it both has F Log and Eterna video profile! Cheers!

[@andi]

Sean Milligan Yes I would say it’s great for that, I actually use it mostly to send photos directly from it to my phone via the app and post them to my Instagram. It’s great!

[@rebeccablesch]

Andi...what lens did you get with it?

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

There are of course a lot more things that speaks for the X-T30. But you should view this list as a follow up to my older Fuji reviews, linked in the description. I just feel it makes more sense that way instead of making a new video breaking down everything about each model every time. Because they are all very similar. Which is a good thing.

[@slater1949]

I really Miss the joystick on the xt-20. The xt-30 had a joystick, is it Just as Nice as the joystick on the D500?

@@guyriela No its a bit awkwardly placed compared to the one on for example the D500 imo. Its better on the X-E3.

Yeah.. In deed.. Why go through all the features everytime..? Anyway....at least personally, and although I love my X-T20..I don't care much about the t30.. In the end I just watched this because it has your signature, under it . ;) So thank you for the video Mattias. PS: its also great to you in a collaboration with Denae&Andrew..

I've never really seen/understood what people meant when talking about color science in reference to specific cameras/brands. But since I've been researching Fuji cameras, I've begun to see why people praise their colors so much. I'm looking forward to adding an X-T30 to my kit sometime soon.

[@traintrambus]

I love your reviews but I've recently purchased a Sigma DP3 Merrill after your DP1 review and you reminded me that I once own a DP1 and reworking the files found them to be amazing. Well I like a longer lens these days and 50mm (75mm in 35mm standard) is ideal and the files are epic. The downside as you know is the max of 200 iso the quirky controls and awful grip. So when enjoying the X-T30 video I agree with every thing you say that this is a fine modern camera, well worth investing in however for me the Sigma wins hands down for old film shooters like me. Congratulations on your fine videos. Mike

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

Sigmas are nice indeed. Im a quattro man myself but they are all fine. Looking forward to the Fullframe Foveon next year.

[@alvas2771]

Great review. One question for any owners of the X-T30. I need to do approximately 1.5 hours of video for an outdoor sporting event on a regular basis. I read somewhere that you can only record 10 minutes of video at a time. Does that mean you have to restart video yourself or is that just a file limit and it continues on after 10 minutes with a new file? I also read that after a period of time the camera gets too hot and the camera will shut down. Has anyone experienced this? Seems like a big issue if so. Thank you.

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

Like most stills cameras you have to restart the video. My tip is to buy a real video camera if you regularly shoot +1h sports.

[@alvas2771]

Thanks for your response. I only shoot this sport 10 times a year so was hoping to just use my own camera as I am in the market to buy a new one. I guess I asked as previously I have used a Canon EOS 70D and a Nikon D3500 (not so good) and both saved only 15 minutes worth to a single file but then automatically continued video with another file. It appears that is not the case with the X-T30.

[@rezzoc91]

I'm in love with my xt30, from adapting vintage lenses to use it in jobs, it's perfect! Regarding cheap gear I've seen a lot of x-a10 for sale at a super low price, I might give it a go!!

[@docchocobo]

I got an entry-level Fuji of a different make and model at a pawn shop not too long ago , and I can agree with a lot of other commenters. There's just something different about Fuji cameras. The sharpness is pretty amazing and the color is pretty neat to. Once you get one dialed in just right it's amazing the pictures you can take. A whole other world

Hi Mattias, thanks for this video about the Fujifilm X-T30! I recommended this camera to a former colleague and he‘s very happy with it. I’m happy with my Nikon Z6. With it, I can use all the vintage lenses. Given the choice of cameras with DX sized sensors, I‘d clearly choose Fujifilm. I like the classic controls and design of these cameras very much! Best wishes, Magnetron

On a trip to London, i picked up a used Fuji X-A2 For 199 pounds, I got a mint minus body, the 16-50 lens, The store also threw in a strap, 3 batteries, charger and a lens cap!. I was surprised how sharp the images come out on such a low end body!, so I picked up the XE3 when a local store gave me 10% off on a brand new kit!. this new X-T30 looks nice but I think if I get another Fuji it will be the XT3.

[@youssefbk88]

Awesome review! What do you think of the XF10 that you were using to compare this camera against? Will you review it? It’s another camera that reviewers love to hate...

I am considering a downgrade from the X-T2 to the X-T30. I really appreciate smaller cameras and I do not need most of the features in an X-T2/3. I also shoot on the perfect normal 27mm pancake anyways and all my Fuji lenses translate. I shoot mostly film so I need as much reason to bring along a digital and size is a big factor.

I purchased a X-T30 about a month ago and one thing that stood out to me immediately is that there was no hotshoe cover! It makes me seriously wonder if it wasn't repackaged. I went back the next day to inquire about this and was told that they don't ship with one. I purchased a X-H1 the previous year and it came with one. Did I get screwed???

I don't remember if it has one or not.

It's at the 799 price right now. I've been looking to leave micro four thirds for something else. Pentax kp or xt30 or xt3. For street photography

Can you recommend this for KZbin beauty vlogs? To be honest there's something about fujifilm cameras that I really love. The quality of the image is so crisp. I'm trying to go back to photography and planning to do some make up tutorials in the future. And this camera has a nostalgic feel which I love.

[@inspiredrepublic9166]

Thank you for this great Review!. I am still not sure if I should go with the xt30 18-55 + an additional lens 35mm for example (ore just one great lens) Or the Xt3 +18-55 - I will be using it with the Mavic mini drone and GoPro hero 7 black. Mainly for travel + Street photography & video . I am not that expert when it comes video making but want to start working on creating travel videos and instagram videos. which one would you recommend. is the only 30fps in video and not weather sealed really a down side? (Also less manual buttons (iso/shutter) compared to Xt3. Thanks

[@zeissiez]

I have used both XT3 and XT30. On paper they are the same camera, but I find in use, the ergonomics of the XT3 is much better. I would advise my friends to save up and go for the XT3.

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

I would advise going for the X-E3.

[@HappyGrl41]

Great review and I love your photos. I sold my X-T2 and almost immediately missed Fuji. While I have an X70, it's good but the X-T2 was really good. I just can't pay the X-T3 price even though I love the upgrades from the XT-2. I have been toying with getting the X-T30 or the X-E3. I know I can't go wrong with any of them.

[@MrJed_s]

I've also got the x70 but looking to try an ILC, definitely want to stay with Fuji (even though I own no lenses yet) simply because of how much I like the x70 :)

[@msandersen]

The X-Pro3 is intriguing; good on them for trying something a bit different. It seems this line takes it’s inspiration from Leica, who has tried similar experiments, though not with a hidden tilting screen. The price is not in my ballpark though. I tried the X-T30 briefly at a trade show, I didn’t like the changes to the back, like taking away the D-pad or the weird raised Q button. I have the buttons programmed to various functions I use all the time, so would feel their loss. I use a 3rd party grip on my X-T20 as well as a thumb grip, so it fits well in my hand now, otherwise it wouldn’t feel as nice to use. The difference in the X-T30 grip hasn’t changed that. It might well be a better camera in all other respects, I have had a few firmware issues with the X-T20 which makes it a bit unreliable at times. I’d like to see a firmware update just on stability. For my budget, I need to stick to my X-T20 for at least another year, and it’s quite capable. I prefer using it for walkabout photography over my bigger Canon 80D (weight-wise, it has a bit to do with the Sigma 18-35mm strapped to it, a magnificent but big and heavy lens).

[@vjekan]

Hi Mattias! I'm considering buying a good quality Point and Shoot camera for everyday usage. I like the form factor of the point and shoots and wanted to get your opinion. I've been looking at the Sony DSC-RX100 mark VII. At roughly €1250, do you think it's the best buy or are there any better alternatives? The price is not that big of an issue here, but considering I'm ogin to spend €1250 on a point and shoot, I would like to get the best quality and longevity. Tnx!

[@rohirrimstudios8435]

I have the X-T2 and one of the reasons I bought it instead of the X-T30 was the ISO switch. Just makes the experience better for me, since I don't like changing iso in the menu.

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

An iso dial would be awesome. Just which they would upgrade the drive and photometry dials on it.

[@PabloB888]

There is ISO dial on my X-T30 at the front, so there's no need to change ISO in the menu.

[@KutWrite]

Interesting choice for me to have stumbled across. I was looking at a6600 reviews, trying to like it. This or the XT-3 may be my cup o' tea. Probably not the XE-3 though. At 3:45 that's the funniest photo of Krut. Wonder what she'd say if she saw it.

I have literally no experience with Fuji cameras. This past year I have been thinking about the X100F for street, but I look at what I do with my Pentax Q and my Leica X1 and I just think, maybe not. But this one? Articulating screen is something I do NOT have in any of my cameras. What would your feeling be on this reviewed model for street? The pancake lens and small form has some appeal.

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

I think its an excellent street camera. But so are many other cameras, including the once you own.

[@NickBarang]

I love my X100F for street work and take it with me nearly everywhere but at the end of the day, all cameras take photos, the reason I love the X100F is that it's a lot of fun to use. It makes me feel like creating rather than messing around with a clunky, more technical camera. Horses for courses, though - your experience could be totally different from mine. I also have an X-T30, mind you, and I love that too. :-)

Shishkiboom if you need the hardcore lenses beyond 200mm then Nikon it is. You probably know how affordable and vast the Nikon used market is already. But the XT3’s burst rates and AF tracking are pretty phenomenal. The 55-200 Fuji is pretty fantastic too. Awesome jpegs is just icing on the cake.

@@mvonwalter6927 Thanks for the information. I've used Nikon for many years and I enjoy the system but I've heard so many good things about the Fujifilm X-T3/X-T30 that I think it would be fun to try something different for a change, and I'm sure the 55-200 Fuji would be more than good enough for my sporting needs. Plus I've always been curious about cameras with an EVF, and the Fuji film simulations also interest me because I'm not really into post-processing.

I love my old XE2 over my XT3 for “having fun photography” and it’s cheap enough to just add into your Nikon arsenal. I actually miss my Nikon DSLR a lot and am considering one again.

@@gearreallydoesntmatterThanks for your input Mattias. I love your videos. It would be great to shoot sports with a 'monster,' especially in lower-light, indoor situations such as high school basketball and hockey, while also using it for wildlife photography and outdoor sports such as soccer - and, like you say, the price is definitely right. You have definitely made the decision-making process much easier. I am now quite certain I will purchase the Nikon D500, and I'm sure I will love it. Thanks again.

were the still images in this video taken with this camera?

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

Of course.

Thanks!

Still waiting for the day Fuji will make an XE3 remodel with an XT3 tilt screen design

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

It would be awesome. But I don't think they will. It would steal sales from the X-Pro3. So I think only the later will get a tilt screen.

[@cesarm6131]

@@gearreallydoesntmatter xpro 3 sales are mostly emotion dependant rather than specs. there's alot more in the Xpro 3 that will attract the specific photographer besides the different tilt screen design XE line would have. Since XE3 was made for the streets I think it'll have the tilt and fixed screen will be reserved for the XF line .

Hey mattias! Great review - as always! Could you tell me where you get your music for you videos from? Greetings from Austria :)

[@painful1978]

I feel that fuji is adding more cameras to the market than they should.. I'm not sure if it's good or bad.. But they'll make you feel soon that your camera is outdated.. And they've stopped making bridge cameras, super zoom stuff.

[@BreadJokes]

This is kinda unrelated to this video but I've been looking into getting an X-pro2 for a while now but my budget is pretty low. Right now they go used for around $900-1000 CAD on Ebay. Do you guys think the price will go down at all with the release of the x-pro3?

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

I'm sure it will. Just look how far the X-Pro1 has dropped.

Hi Mattias, I've been binging your videos, they're well put together and your photos are astonishing! I really enjoy photographing figure skating and find my current camera (Sony DSC - HX200V) is not up to par. Most cameras would be an upgrade, but would the Fuji X-T30 be a good option for taking action shots/does it have a quick burst mode? Thanks for any insight!

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

Hello, glad to hear you enjoy my images. It has a quick burst rate, can't remember but around 11fps. However if you are mostly going to use it for sports I personally would get a dedicated sports camera like a used Nikon D500 and a tele zoom. The upside of the Fuji would be that you can use it for that but also as a smaller travel camera as well.

[@احمدالحربي-ق6ن]

I want to ask you please, is there any information about the new Sony rx1r??

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

Not that I know of.

[@danielmolina7834]

Awesome video. I sometimes think you live in perfect lightning lol. Hey, did you tried the xt30 with the viltrox 85mm?

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

No I haven't tried that combo yet. But I did try the Viltrox speedbooster. It was buggy on the X-T30.

[@xamuth]

What Fuji lenses do you regularly use?

[@HectorSuzy]

Köpte precis den här pärlan på cyberp. Vilken najsig liten kamera! Perfekt komplement till mina xt3 och xt2. Nu önskas bara en 18mm f2 som är wr och skarp vidöppen så är en ny vardagskombo ett faktum :)
