For Fujifilm, shrinking the phenomenal X-T3 down into a smaller package was always going to be a winning proposition. For several years running, the company has followed up on its flagship X-series mirrorless camera with a more portable (and more affordable) option that still offers many of the best...

Same sensor as X-T3 at much lower price; Excellent autofocus and burst shooting capabilities; Compact and light; Nice 4K video

Probably too small for people with big hands; No weather sealing; Viewfinder is improved from X-T20; but no match for X-T3; Standard carry-a-spare mirrorless battery life

The Fujifilm X-T30 may be the 'little brother' of the superb X-T3, and we were impressed - surprised, actually - at just how many features were carried over from a camera costing $600 more.

Those seeking a lightweight camera with great out-of-camera image quality; flexible Raw files and top-notch video

Those seeking best face and eye AF performance; Serious videographers who need the very best spec

Both are excellent cameras. I'll typically recommend one product over another, but they are so close in capabilities and performance, and different enough in design philosophy, that there's room for two Editors' Choice winners here.

Proven 26MP APS-C image sensor; Quick, accurate autofocus; Up to 30fps Raw capture; EVF and built-in flash; Tilting touch LCD; Tactile controls; 4K video; Wi-Fi

Body isn't weather-sealed; Restricted maximum video clip length; No in-body stabilization; Small capture buffer; Memory card slot limited to UHS-I speed

What We'd Change. While the Fujifilm X-T30 has all the makings of an awesome APS-C camera, it does leave a few things to be desired. Low-light performance needs improvement; autofocus is a little wobbly when there's not enough light, and noise handling isn't great.

Much-improved AF; Improved Eye and Face Detection and Tracking; Better grip; Joystick; Supersampled 4K; F-log recording on hand; Eterna color profile; Monochrome Adjustment for Acros and B&W; Affordable price tag; Charcoal grey color available

AF unstable in low light; No 4K at 60fps; No IBIS; Battery life could be better; No weather sealing; Higher ISO noise handling is not great

Steve Jobs once famously said, "If you don't cannibalize yourself, someone else will." It was in reference to how the iPhone would take sales away from the iPod - a move that proved tremendously successful for Apple. The topic of cannibalization comes up often in the camera world.

Fast autofocus with face/eye detection; Same sensor; processor as X-T3; 10-bit 4K video output; Engaging user experience; Fast continuous shooting speed

No in-body image stabilization; Some ergonomic compromises; Small image buffer

For $899, you'll get a lot of value for your dollar with the Fujifilm X-T30, given the camera's overall solid performance and its stellar image quality. This compact mirrorless camera is feature-rich and while, in my opinion, it would be a waste of money to use the X-T30 in auto mode, that option is...

If you have the budget for a mid-range camera, the 26.1-megapixel X-T30 delivers the same image quality as the X-T3 for $600 less. It has excellent handling, fast shooting speeds and autofocus performance nearly on par with Sony's A6400.

The Fujifilm X-T30 is available for preorder now in 3 distinctive colorways: Silver, Black, and the newly introduced Charcoal Silver which is basically gunmetal. Preorders are scheduled to ship at the end of June and will set you back US sans lens, although photographers new to Fujifilm's X Series...

The Fujifilm X-T30 follows a tried-and-trusted recipe now on its third generation, delivering the same sensor, processing and autofocus of the flagship X-T3 in a smaller, lighter and much more affordable body.

I will keep this short. Just kidding. No I wona€?t. I bought the X-T30 a few weeks ago. Right off the bat, the guy at the camera shop told me that it did not come with an external charger. Strange, but whatever. I bought one, along with an extra battery.
