Fujifilm officially launched the X-T30 III, an upgraded model of the X-T30 series after a three-year absence. The biggest highlight of this lightweight mirrorless camera is that it incorporates the X-T50 and X-M5Film simulation dial, allowing users to quickly switch between up to 20 personalized film simulation modes through intuitive operations, recreating the unique ritual of changing film in traditional photography.
Classic operating experience and imaging capabilities
While maintaining its classic retro styling, the X-T30 III also boasts upgraded core specifications:
• Equipped with 26.1MP X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor and X-Processor 5 image processor
• Continuous shooting speed 8fps with mechanical shutter, 20fps with electronic shutter
• Equipped with a deep learning intelligent subject detection focus system that can accurately identify faces, animals, vehicles and other subjects
A leap forward in video recording capabilities
Significant improvements in film shooting:
• Supports 6.2K 30P 4:2:2 10-bit direct recording to SD card
• Compatible with 4K 60p and 1080p 240p slow motion shooting
However, the X-T30 III still lacks in-body shock absorption and only has a 2.5mm microphone input.
Positioning and market strategy
This new phone still retains some compromises in its design:
• Maintain a flip-up screen instead of a side-flip design
• Net body weight is only 378g, excellent portability
• Battery life is approximately 425 frames, suitable for daily photography
X-T30 III單機身建議售價為999美元，提供黑、炭灰、銀三色選擇，預計11月正式出貨。同步推出的還有新款Fujinon XC13-33mmF3.5-6.3 OIS鏡頭，建議售價為399美元。
Following the successful market launch of the X-T50, the X-T30 III, with its more accessible positioning, caters to users seeking classic operation and modern imaging performance, becoming a new choice for artistic photography enthusiasts. While its video recording specifications fall slightly short of its X-S20 sibling, its unique film simulations and lightweight design have carved out a unique niche in the competitive mirrorless camera market.
