The X-T30 is a joy to use, user friendly manual settings. Small size makes it ideal as a travel camera - it's an an excellent camera in all respects, the auto focus has been improved, the joy stick is much better than the controls on the X - T20 - , there is only one niggle, which is the Q button...

Fujifilm managed to produce yet another winner with the X-T30. This compact mirrorless digital camera delivers a performance way above its price by combining superb image-quality and class-leading speed with a rich feature-set and plenty of direct controls.

Excellent retention of details and sharpness; Class-leading dynamic range; Natural image colors; Good Automatic WB; Sensitive and accurate autofocus; Very fast AF system; No EVF blackout; Plenty of direct controls; Instant video response; Excellent build quality

Image noise slightly higher than competition; Tendency to blow small highlights; Not Exposure-Priority; Shallow image buffer; Excessive feature interactions; Minimal hand-grip; Short battery-life; Soft aperture detents With all current XF-mount lenses

I've had this camera for just over a year now. It's my second Fuji body after switching from Nikon full frame 2.5 years ago. Couldn't ask for a better tool. Used to spend a fair bit of time processing raw images from a D810.

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.

Fujifilm has had many successes with its X-series cameras since it launched the range, with its rangefinder-style X-Pro line and DSLR-like X-T models being particular favorites. But it's the X-T20 that's become the company's best-selling X-series model to date.

Great build quality; Superb value for money; Plenty of customization options; Excellent 4K video quality; Lovely default JPEG output; Speedy AF system

0.62x EVF magnification; Grip not ideal for larger lenses; Some controls can be fiddly; No sensor-based stabilization; Tripod thread awkwardly placed; No UHS-II support

The Fujifilm X-T30 is a new mid-range mirrorless camera that's smaller, lighter and a lot cheaper than the flagship X-T3 model, yet in some ways is actually slightly more advanced than the X-T3.

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

Overall, the Fujifilm X-T3 manages to take one of the best all-round compact system cameras and make it better in every department. It's a mirrorless marvel, that's for sure. There are still some areas that could be further refined: certain lenses won't make the most of the autofocus system; there's...

Great OLED electronic viewfinder and tri-adjustable LCD screen; 100% frame coverage for autofocus; Impressive speed (11fps burst) and autofocus ability; 4K60 will be attractive for some; Doesn't amp the price point over predecessor

Touchscreen lacks sensitivity/response; Smallest autofocus point not the fastest; Dioptre adjustment fiddly to use; No compatibility with X-T2 grip (due to new footprint

Please

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
