Comparing Fujifilm X-T10, X-T20 and X-T30 side by side. Which one is the best buy?

In this video I compare three Fujifilm hybrid cameras (x-mount): Fujifilm X-T10 vs. Fujifilm X-T20 vs. Fujifilm X-T30. They have the same image quality as Fujifilm, X-T1, X-T2 and X-T3, respectively. I'll look at these cameras side by side, compare their specs and share my experience using these cameras, especially for landscape photography. Which of these cameras is the best deal and which one I like the most? Is it a good idea to buy one of them now? Why do I have all these cameras in regular use? Why I think Fujifilm is special? I argue that all these Fuji cameras are wonderful and very capable. Their image quality (especially the jpeg) quality is amazing. Fuji X-T30 is additionally an incredibly powerful video camera (see the link below).
Please EXCUSE THE RAIN SOUND in the later part of the video; it was raining heavily.

I bought a new X-T20 in early 2020. I chose it over the X-T30 because I prefer the D-pad buttons over the joystick and I don't like the position of the Q-button on the X-T30. I almost never even think about shooting video so the X-T-20 is a great fit for me and I'm very happy with my choice.

[@tom_photo]

These are all good points that you bring out. When it comes to photo quality X-T20 and X-T30 are the same. So, X-T20 is definitely a great choice. The X-T30 has a faster auto focus but this difference only matters in specific situations.

[@tom_photo]

Hi Zack. I'm glad I could help you. The X-T10 is a wonderful camera, one of my favorite cameras, in fact. It has same advantages over, X-T30, too. For example it only has 16 Mpix so the pixel area is greater. It hosts X-Trans II sensor which some would say is the best sensor of all time. Hold on to this camera, it's really great. I've made a special video on Fuji X-T10: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXmwmY1sfbKNrc0

[@zack582]

@@tom_photo Thanks Tom! The X-T10 is good, but sometimes I'm not satisfied with the photos taken by it... For example, I find that the details of the leaves in forests or the details of the night scenes are not clear and sharp like the photos taken by others. Should I buy some better lenses (now I have XC15-45 mm and XC 35 mm) or buy a camera with a larger megapixel like X-T30 or just buy a full-frame camera?

[@tom_photo]

@@zack582 Hi Zack! I do not think that the X-T10 is causing the photos not being sharp (unless it's faulty, of course). The lenses you have are really nice lenses, capable of very high quality photos. I don't think buying more helps. Some possible reasons why your photos are not sharp: a) shutter speed too slow, b) aperture doesn't correspond to the desired depth of field, d) focusing problem (try autofocus, manual focus and continuous focus and see which works the best), e) subject moved out of focus after focusing (e.g. moving branches) f) ISO too high, g) tripod not used. There can be more reasons. I added this topic to my future film ideas so expect a post one day covering these questions. I hope I could help you a little bit.

[@zack582]

@@tom_photo Thank you for your detailed answers, Tom. I was very surprised that I didn't expect to get such a rich response. You really helped me a lot. I think the reasons may be that the shutter speed was a little bit slow and I have't used a tripod. In addition, I just found a little dust on the CMOS. In fact, the photos look good on the whole. So maybe I'm just a little picky about the details of photos after zooming in. Thank you again for your patience. Looking forward to your new videos!

[@tom_photo]

@@zack582 Hi Zack. I'm glad you're figuring out the reasons. You can remove dust from CMOS easily: use a squeezable (rubber) air blower available at most photo stores. Whether of not dust is problem can be figured out by photographing blue sky or white paper and then looking for small spots in the photo.

[@Clodrock]

The X-T30 and X-T30ii are brilliant cameras (I own both). However, that Q-button placement on the thumb grip is maddening. Plus, I miss the D-pad!

[@tom_photo]

Hi! Thank you for your feedback. I hear you regarding the Q-button and D-pad.

[@matthieuzglurg6015]

the X-T30 has a CMOS BSI X Trans IV by the way Oh, and the X-T10 has the same sensor as the X-T1 so it is highly unlikely that this camear can go down to ISO 100. native ISO range for the X-Trans II sensor is 200-6400, expandable to 100-25600, but I'd highly recommend you avoid those mode as they work only for JPEGs and tend to add noise to images Also, having the highest lower ISO doesn not mean best low light performance at all. Low light photography is generally made at base ISO and a long shutter speed, or with faster shutter speeds and way higher ISO. Either way, having a lower base ISO will mean lower noise, and the high ISO performance is up to the camera (X Trans III does a tiny bit better than the X Trans IV, they're pretty equivalent though) Also, considering higher ISO values as a marketing trick is kind of wrong. The X-T20 can go natively up to 12800 ISO, and at this value, the image still looks better than the X-T10 at 6400 ISO, yet you've gained a stop of light. Image is very usable at 3200 to 6400ISO on both the X Trans III and IV, I wouldn't say that's a marketing trick, that really improves the versatility of the camera. Also, you said that the exposure comp dial on the X-T30 can go from -5 to +5 stops while the other can do only +/-3. First, the X-T30's dial can only go to that extent when you use the "C" position and use the front dial for exporure comp. Second, I think the X-T20 also has that feature (I do not own it, but I own the X-T2 which has the same processor, and it does have that feature. knowing my way around fuji cameras, the C position on the exposure comp dial only serve that purpose) otherwise, very informative and concise video about the differences between these 3 cameras ! The X-T30 really is a baby X-T3 and as such, is a beast of a photo/video tool

@@TomasOneil I'm glad you liked the videos. The Fuji 15-45 mm lens is something that one grows to love over time. I first thought it was just a good backup lens but I now use it more every day. The small size is so very attractive about this lens. What I don't perhaps emphasize enough about the Fuji 15-45 mm lens it how fast and accurately it focuses. This makes it very attractive for video, especially when using with gimbal. I'd say that of all the lenses I own this one is the least likely to misfocus when sitting unattended on a gimbal. When switched to automatic focusing this is the lens I trust more than any other (and this includes lenses that are several times more expensive). The 15-45 lens is really great, I think.

@@McBuggs. The X-T20 is a great camera to get. I'm quite sure you're happy with it. The X-S10 is another great choice. I don't have firsthand experience but I hear it's a bit different from other Fuji's and resembles Canon and Nikon dSLR's when it comes to handling.

@@tom_photo Yes, the X-S10 dials and grip are similar to a DSLR. I've watched a few youtube vids about the camera and I liked the reviews.

Hi Gokhan Tek. The image quality of X-T10 and X-T20 is about the same. It boils down to mainly the megapixels and touchscreen when it comes to photography part and 4K and fine detail when it comes to making films. If you mainly photograph then X-T10 is enough and would be my choice if price difference is large. If you see yourself making lots of videos then X-T20 is a better option.

Hi Tom. Thank you for this comprehensive evaluation of all the XT-xx series. I'm currently contemplating of selling/trading my XT3 for an XT30ii because ever since my X100v arrived with its compact form factor and having that Classic Neg film sim which bakes fuji recipes that emulate classic film developed prints like the Fujicolor Reala 100, my XT3 along with my other XF lenses, has gotten lesser use and perhaps it may motivate me if I replace with the compact XT30ii with the Classic Neg sim. What's hesitating me is its long term durability as it has issues according to the forums (command dials irresponsive, top dials malfunction due to dust or sand entering underneath, LCD issues, and rubber/leatherette peeling off). But only the XT30ii or the XS10 are within my budget and it appears that the XS10 has lesser issues (writing files to the SD Card which appears to have been solved already) as I haven't come across any further issues against it reading the forums. The XS10 seems to be more robust than we perceive ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/iaTZpax4iZhmpKMsi=mpGGWDwX0Hct_C8e OR kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWWmiaahhNmFpqMsi=uxd2pdec_2pRlEKs ). I shoot photos 99% of the time and do street, travel, food and travel photography. Curiously, after approximately a little over four years with the XT30, how has your copy held up? No durability issues whatsoever as well as your other XTxx cam bodies? Would you suggest for me to replace my XT3 with an XT30ii? or retain the XT3? Thank you.

[@tom_photo]

Hi! Thank you for this interesting question. I was also debating between X-T3 and X-T30. Instead, I got two X-T30's. Yes, I like it so much that I own two of them now. The X-T3 is no doubt a great camera but for me the X-T30 won because it offers the same photo quality and is smaller. You bring up the X-S10 and that's a great camera, indeed. I almost bought it because it has in-body image stabilization that the X-T30 is lacking. I held on to my X-T30 because it uses the 'Fuji logic'. The X-S10, on the other hand, deviates much from other older Fuji cameras and I wasn't huge fan of that. The X-S10 reminds me of other camera brands more than Fuji. But no doubt it's an amazing camera. I decided that I didn't miss the in body image stabilization in the X-T30 too much and so I've been continuing with X-T30. I use the X-T30 cameras every day and I haven't had any issues with them. Everything functions as expected. I hope that helps you a little bit. Whichever Fuji camera you end up getting, you cannot go wrong. Kind regards and best of luck!

[@nathanielngosy]

@@tom_photo I see. Thanks for your immediate reply. Have you taken it into harsh or compromising environments like windy beaches or dusty roads such that when you took some images, nothing went wrong with your XT30 cams (or the other XTxx - kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5jHgmaraJyNp6csi=8xtclmcPcspbpnN4 )? OR you're always playing it safe never taking them out in such circumstances? Actually, there's also the factor of what would make you go out and shoot. Given the XS10's aesthetic, looking at it, it had lost that Fuji soul while with the XT30ii still has it. Even the clicking of the dials make the XS10's sound pathetic ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/fITTcoRsjNVonsUsi=hu3JOclS2QD4zvyu ).

@@nathanielngosy Hi! I agree that the X-S10 has lost its Fuji soul and feel. For many people it's not a problem, though. Getting to your question about where I use X-T30, I'd say that I've probably played it safe most of the time. I've done sandy beach and light rain but I tend to take good care of my cameras (I'm quite protective). Although I've used my cameras for a long time, I don't use them much. This is because I have many cameras and only one is being used at a given time, the others are 'resting'. So, I may not be the best person to tell how long each camera will last. To me the X-T30 seems like a sturdy camera but I cannot offer statistics. Thanks again!

Do you find a big difference in image quality/sharpness (for photography) when you use your xt10 instead of the others?

[@tom_photo]

Hi, Thank you for your question. Some say that the X-T10 should have the best (cleaner) picture quality of them because its pixel area is the largest (less pixels per area unit). I don't see that very clearly. To me these three cameras appear very similar. The X-T20 and X-T30 have more pixels. So even if noise level was higher, the increased pixel count would usually compensate for that. These cameras have different sensors. So they render colors tiny bit differently. I may like the X-T10's standard colors a bit more than that of the others'. However the differences are always very tiny. These cameras are all absolutely amazing. (I'm working on individual reviews of these cameras to talk about these details.) I hope I could answer your question.

[@jangarcia1338]

@@tom_photo Thanks a lot! I've been thinking about getting an xt10 as a second body to my xt20 so I don't need to switch lenses. But have been hesitant because I didn't want to have a loss of sharpness and overall image quality and end up using more the xt20 because of that.

[@tom_photo]

@@jangarcia1338 Good points. The reason I'm using my X-T10, X-T20 and X-T30 in parallel is precisely because I don't want to switch lenses too much. I find that I use my cameras about equally. I tend to use X-T10 for casual shooting at home (kids, everyday stuff) and time lapse, X-T20 for more special photo trips when I take a tripod and other stuff along, X-T30 as a video camera. I don't think you're going to loose image quality when you use X-T10 . Some say that it produces the best pictures of the X-T series cameras. (Go figure! There's no easy way to measure aesthetics.) It's not at all clear which of these three cameras is the best at photography, they're that close. The only thing clear is that the X-T30 leaves the others in dust when it comes to recording video (visibly better 4K and focusing capabilities). To me the X-T10 and X-T20 are very similar and the X-T30 separates a bit more from the pack.

@@tom_photo Thanks for your kind and pleasant answer, Tom. I forgot to mention that your video series are of the utmost research and clear explanation. My bad. I gather that you didn't take my opinion on a personal level. It wasn't. My point is that, yes, as much as I agree on the image quality and the many items on the menu to obtain natural, organic colors from these cameras, it remains the fact that FUJI itself is a champion of not giving a kind ear to legendary complaints about focus on both stills & video in their cameras, that sell at high prices. It rekindles, back in the good old days, the legendary cult for Leica cameras. Great lenses, yes, but with very restricted focal lengths. They weren't any better than Zeiss, Nikon, Canon or Fuji. Images Bench proved it. Then again, the beauty of Leica cameras was their durability. But the CULT was outrageous... I once joined a Leica Club, but I had to by my R3Mot, as a passport. I thought they were conducting seminars or workshops, no. They were WEARING their cameras around their necks and organized suppers, cafe-talks, and some other ludic activities, but no one was taking pictures or sharing techniques. I feel the same about these prayers at the FUJI oracle. I love style and body finishing in a camera, as much as I want it to live long, but overall, I'm impressed with its performance, and from its maker's response to customers. Keep on sharing, Tom. Your work is priceless. Have a great day!
