Fujifilm X-T30 Mirrorless Digital Camera with 18-55mm Lens (Silver)

Given our limited time with a Fujifilm X-T30 pre-production unit, not to mention the fact that we only had two kit lenses -- the Fujinon XC15-45mmF3.5-5.6 OIS PZ and the Fujinon XF18-55mmF2.8-4 R LM OIS -- for testing, it's hard for us to gauge this camera's full capabilities.

Stay tuned for our upcoming full review of the Fujifilm X-T30 once production models are available for testing.

Fujifilm has got plenty right here: a tough body, sound AF performance, great image quality straight out of the camera and lovely 4K videos, and all for a very reasonable price. We have some reservations around operation and the electronic viewfinder, but there's far more here to love than to be...

Editor’s note: If you’re looking for a new compact system camera, the Fujifilm X-T30 is a strong new contender – and is nearing its release on 20 March 2019. I’ve spent 12 hours with a final production version of this miniature version of the X-T3 in Rome, so here are some extra impressions of the...

Fujifilm have once again hit a home run with the launch of the X-T30. As the successor to their best-selling camera ever, the X-T20, this new version has a lot to live up to, but thankfully there's lots to like and little to complain about, something that we've repeatedly said about almost all...

I got this camera at 21 march, and it was very compact, same as DPreview TV's video say. Great for who want to upgrade from beginners level to more function mid pro level and yet what it can do really going grow with user's ability. Yes, it did give up on some function and the better handling.

So, here is the short story: I dropped my X-T20 on a hard floor last month, Fuji wanted to charge me 500$ for repair. I said no and I better joined the line of people pre-ordering the new Fuji X-T30.
