Fujifilm X30 hands-on review

[@mauricioleon5555]

Good morning, greetings, could you tell me what accessories are you putting on the lens?

kzbin.info/www/bejne/aavZooNjorSJqaM - It is an aftermarket lens hood. It is made of two parts: one is basically a step-up ring, and another is a cylindrical hood. The size of the outer ring is 52mm, much more common than the native thread on the X30.

with this body, supposed for 1 inch sensor not tiny 2/3. Fuji failed!

If all they wanted to offer is some afterthought video, they could do with 5 Mbit/s providing the same quality as their crappy 36 Mbit/s format. They offered a lot with their numbers but failed to deliver.

good review - yes to bad Fuji did not make sensor larger - I went with LX100 - also Canon G7X - I still own the X20 and like it - look better then X30 - so now X30 even larger then before but still small sensor - so X30 cannot quite compete with RX100m3 - Canon G7X and Panasonic LX100 for great video in compact - the RX100m3 - for even better the LX100 with 4K but neither have Mic In - so Oly EM5 M2 but no 4K and costs more - so best video for under $1700 - the Panasonic GH4 -

Thanks. I would not mind the sensor size if video quality were there. I have used the LX100, it is great, but I like handling of the X30 better. The LX100 pretends to be all manual with the rings and wheels, but set F1.7 with the ring and then zoom in - now you have F2 or F2.8, but the ring is still on F1.7. Similarly, the dial for shutter speed is pure show: rotate the dial to 1/60, then use the rear wheel for 1/50, now the dial does not represent the actual value. Could as well use the rear wheel only.

Specifications are one thing.. Handeling and overal feeling is another thing. I used both the Sony RX100mkIII and the Fuji X30. Yes for video there is only the Sony to choose. But for still photography the Fuji X30 is a marvelous camera! The handling of the Sony starts to irritate after a while. But the X30 just urge you to go out and take photographs.
