FUJIFILM X-T30 II Mirrorless Digital Camera with 18-55mm Lens | Black

The FUJIFILM X-T30 II is a highly capable mirrorless camera that combines impressive still and video capabilities with a compact and practical design. It stands out for its advanced recording features and user-friendly handling. Equipped with an updated image sensor and processor, this camera can capture high-resolution still images and 4K video, while its improved autofocus system ensures rapid and precise focusing. The 26.1MP APS-C-format X-Trans CMOS 4 image sensor, designed with a back-illuminated structure, enhances image quality across a wide sensitivity range. Additionally, the 425-point phase-detection autofocus system facilitates swift and accurate autofocus performance, including effective subject tracking. The 100% phase-detect autofocus system excels in face and eye detection, now enhanced with a new Face Selection feature. Supporting these imaging and focusing capabilities is the X-Processor 4, which employs four CPUs for expedited image processing, enabling continuous shooting at up to 8 fps with a mechanical shutter, 30 fps with a 1.25x crop using the electronic shutter, and internal DCI/UHD 4K30 video recording.

Maintaining the classic aesthetic of FUJIFILM's X-series, the X-T30 II features a sleek black finish and traditional design elements, along with prominent physical controls. It is equipped with a high-resolution 2.36m-dot OLED electronic viewfinder and a rear 3.0" 1.62m-dot tilting touchscreen LCD, which facilitates live view shooting and larger image playback. Furthermore, the X-T30 II includes built-in Bluetooth for seamless wireless sharing and remote operation.

26.1MP APS-C X-Trans BSI CMOS 4 Sensor and X-Processor 4

The X-T30 II shares its sensor with the professional-grade X-T3, incorporating an APS-C-format 26.1MP X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor. This sensor features a back-illuminated design that enhances tonal rendering, boosts low-light performance, and offers a low native ISO setting of 160. As an X-Trans sensor, it employs a randomized pixel arrangement, which significantly enhances image quality and sharpness by eliminating the need for an optical low-pass filter. Compared to traditional pixel layouts, the X-Trans configuration more accurately replicates the organic characteristics of film, resulting in rich colors and smooth tonal transitions while minimizing moiré and aliasing artifacts.

Additionally, the sensor is equipped with a comprehensive 100% phase-detection autofocus system, boasting 425 selectable points that nearly encompass the entire sensor area. This autofocus system ensures rapid and precise focusing capabilities, with low-light sensitivity reaching down to EV -7. Enhancing the imaging and focusing performance, the camera is also equipped with the updated X-Processor 4, which provides quicker focus response for tracking subjects and supports Face- and Eye-Detection AF in AF-C mode and during video recording.

The X-Processor 4 features four CPU units that facilitate faster image processing, thereby improving overall performance with enhanced autofocus and tracking speeds. The camera allows for rapid continuous shooting at up to 8 frames per second with a mechanical shutter or 30 frames per second with an electronic shutter and a 1.25x crop. Furthermore, it supports internal UHD 4K30 video recording with F-Log.

UHD and DCI 4K Video Recording

The X-T30 transcends the capabilities of a conventional stills camera by presenting a compelling suite of video features. It supports internal UHD 4K30 video recording at rates of up to 200 Mb/s, with the added advantage of simultaneous external and internal recording. Additionally, it is capable of DCI 4K30 and Full HD 1080p120 recording, allowing for video files to be saved in either MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 or HEVC/H.265 formats. The quad-CPU X-Processor 4 significantly enhances video performance by facilitating rapid read speeds during 4K recording, thereby minimizing rolling shutter distortion when capturing moving subjects.

Furthermore, the X-T30 II incorporates the F-Log gamma setting, which delivers a flat image suitable for advanced color grading in post-production. This feature optimizes the dynamic range in challenging scenes, enabling adjustments to tone, shadow tone, color, and sharpness. When utilizing F-Log, users benefit from an updated noise reduction algorithm and 4K inter-frame noise reduction, with the minimum sensitivity adjusted to ISO 640, accommodating a wider variety of shooting conditions.

Enhanced Autofocus

The X-T30 II is equipped with the X-Processor 4 quad-core CPU, which utilizes Intelligent Hybrid AF to deliver rapid and precise focusing in as little as 0.02 seconds on any subject. Notable improvements have been implemented to enhance the tracking of moving subjects, thereby optimizing autofocus for both still images and its robust 4K/30p video functionality. Additionally, the low-light focusing capability has been significantly improved from the previous model, now functioning effectively down to -7EV. The camera features 425 sensors that provide comprehensive phase detection autofocus across the entire frame, along with advanced face and eye detection autofocus, complemented by a new Face Selection option.

Body Design

• An exceptionally clear and luminous option for eye-level observation, the 2.36 million-dot OLED electronic viewfinder provides a magnification of 0.62x, complemented by a rapid refresh rate, an expansive viewing angle, and customizable diopter adjustments. This viewfinder operates without blackout during continuous shooting at rates of up to 30 frames per second. Additionally, a distinctive Sports Finder Mode is available, which emphasizes a 16.6MP cropped section of the sensor, enabling users to view beyond the confines of the image frame.
  
  
• Alongside the electronic viewfinder, there is a rear 3.0" LCD touchscreen with a resolution of 1.62 million dots, facilitating intuitive live view shooting, playback, review, and adjustments to settings and menu navigation. The screen features a two-way tilting design, allowing for comfortable operation from both high and low angles, whether capturing images in a horizontal or vertical format.
  
  
• The top plate features an array of dials and levers designed for quick and intuitive management of exposure settings. This includes a shutter speed dial that allows for direct adjustments to shutter speed, a mode dial, and an exposure compensation dial that enables selection of +/- 3 EV in 1/3 increments. Additionally, the position of a command dial extends the range to +/- 5 EV, providing enhanced control.
