The clever ISO Auto Control setting allows you to set a maximum sensitivity (up to 6400) and a minimum shutter speed (1/30th is a good starting point), with the camera over-riding your ISO choice if it thinks you're being too ambitious whilst maintaining a shutter speed that won't introduce camera shake. The extended ISO range of 80-51200 makes the X-T30 II well suited to low-light shooting, especially as it can now focus all the way down to -7EV, allowing you to hand-hold the camera in places where you'd usually be reaching for a tripod or other support. The X-T30 II is smaller and lighter than the flagship X-T4 camera, but in keeping with its mid-range status it's not weather-proof unlike its big brother, something that's important to note if you're trying to decide between the two. Otherwise, it's impossible to tell the two cameras apart when placed side-by-side.Ĭommendably, at the heart of the X-T30 II is the same 26.1 megapixel APS-C sized “X-Trans IV” CMOS sensor and the same X-Processor 4 image processing engine as used by the X-T4, so the X-T30 II delivers exactly the same still image quality as Fujifilm's flagship camera, at a much more affordable price-point. The new Fujifilm X-T30 II is outwardly identical to the 2-year-old X-T30 model that it replaces, right down to the unchanged X-T30 name badge on the front, with the only visual difference between them found on the base-plate sticker on the battery compartment cover, where "X-T30 II" is displayed. The Fujifilm X-T30 II is available in two different colours - Black or Silver - priced at £769 / $899 body only, £849 / $999 with the XC 15-45mm lens, or £1099 / $1299 with the XF 18-55mm lens.
The X-T30 II additionally offers a built-in pop-up flash, exposure compensation up to ±5 stops, wi-fi and Bluetooth connectivity, USB charging, 380-shot battery life, interval timer shooting, in-camera raw conversion, multiple exposure and panoramic shooting modes, an ultra-fast electronic shutter that is capable of exposures up to 1/32000sec, a Focus Lever, a dedicated Auto Mode Switch Lever and a traditional threaded cable release. It also continues to provide a 2.36-million-dot 0.39-inch OLED electronic viewfinder with 100fps frame rate, 425 AF points with phase detection pixels across the entire frame (100%), Face and Eye AF including a Face Select function, and 30fps continuous shooting with the electronic shutter or 8fps with the mechanical shutter with continuous AF/AE.
The X-T30 II features exactly the same 26 megapixel X-Trans BSI CMOS 4 APS-C sensor as the X-T30, DCI 4K video recording at up to 30p in 4:2.2 10-bit via HDMI, the latest X-Processor 4 image processing engine, and an extended ISO range of 80-51200. It replaces the two-year-old X-T30 model.Ĭompared to the previous XT30, the Mark II version offers a few key improvements, including a tilting 3-inch touchscreen LCD with greater 1.62-million-dot resolution, up from 1.04-million-dots on the X-T30, the ability to focus down to -7EV versus -3EV on the X-T30, a new 1080p/240fps video mode for up to a 10x slow-motion effect, 30 minute recording limit in 4K video mode, two extra film simulations, HDR mode, an improved Auto shooting mode, and improved auto-focusing for tracking moving subjects that are moving toward or away from the camera. The Fujifilm X-T30 II is a new mid-range APS-C sensor mirrorless camera which was released in October 202.
