For a camera under 900 $, the FUJIFILM X-T30 is truly a “little giant” as FUJIFILM tags this system. A 26 mega-pixel with advanced auto-focus, legendary film-simulation and let’s not forget the 4:2:0 8-bit 4K 30p internal video capture, this is an entry-level camera to consider for both amateurs and enthusiasts alike.
On Feb 14, 2019, FUJIFILM announced the X-T30 as the successor of the X-T20, a lovely camera by itself. As mentioned above, this camera holds tremendous improvements in AF and video capabilities. It boasts a higher resolution sensor with a BSI (Backside Illuminated) technology that makes it more sensitive to light. With no Low-Pass filter in front of the sensor, you can resolve more details from your captured scene.

My favorite upgrade to the AF comes in the form of Eye-AF improvement, which is even better than the X-T30 older brother, the X-T3. For a portrait photographer like myself, this is a blessing, as getting almost 100% accurate focus on the model's eye is a must.
I would have talked about the video features of this camera, but I'm not a videographer. However, I can say that finding a 4:2:0 8-bit 4K camera with the external HDMI 4:2:2 10-bit 4K output option, an awesome one.
But perhaps the biggest deal with this camera is the fact that it's small. Weighing only 383g, it's super-light and can be carried around without any effort. And the amazing part is that this doesn't affect the image quality which is great for it's kind.
The FUJIFILM X-T30 is truly a little giant. This is the mirrorless age.
