Hi, deciding between two used cameras

Recommended Posts

Hello! I'm Edoardo, 25, Italian.

I used to shoot with my Canon 200D but now I'm into buying a new camera and I think Fujifilm will be the next one. I'm a hobbyist so I do not make profit with the camera.

I'm deciding between x-t30 ii vs x-t3. Where I live their price in the second hand market is comparable, there isn't too much difference. x-t3 it's a superior camera obviously but I'm afraid of loosing the classic neg. film recipe and the portability of the x-t30 ii. I'm not particularly interested in the video features. Can someone help me choosing between these two cameras? 

Thanks!

Hmm - I used to have the original X-T30 and X-T3 - and as you say you get extra features with the X-T3 versus portability.

If things like weather sealing, two card slots, better viewfinder and tilting screen are priorities go with the X-T3 - but if you want something that is almost pocketable (at least with lenses like the 27mm) go with the X-T30 II - they are both good cameras. 

The X-T30 II also has the complete auto function that is handy if you are lending the camera to someone else who hasn't had time to learn the controls.

Have you had each in hand? Size of camera body, couples with your hands might make or break which one you go with. Personally I cannot use an X-TXX model far too small. Then there is balance considerations depending on what lenses you'll be using, certain models are a better match than others on smaller or larger bodies.

    • Looking more like the next Fuji camera we see will be an X-T50 but it is still a rumor and no specs have been published.
    • Hey guys, The shutter on/off button switch may be loose on mine. After turning camera on and pressing the shutter/holding close to the area, the camera will turn off and say 'sensor cleaning'. This doesn't happen if I'm shooting via touch screen at all. Everything else is functional. Anyone else experience this before? Would love a much cheaper fix since Fuji Canada just quoted me $700 CAD to fix it, and considering everything else is functional except that part I'm not even sure why MPMB Main Board parts is being replaced😕 I got no explanation from them either.
    • As far as I know the firmware is not country specific. Are you sure that the filename has not been changed ( I am told this can happen with mac os). That's the only thing I can think of.
    • My x-t5 does not exhibit the focusing switch behaviour as you report it, so that is very strange and indicative of a fault. It does not matter whether the flash is attached or not. Once you set the camera for your studio flash, say 1/250th at f5.6, the camera, which is showing you what you will get at that exposure without the flash, will show a black screen unless the ambient light is brighter than what you would typically get indoors. That is why, as Jerry says, you have to set preview exp/wb to off. I have set a button for this.
    • I connected to FRAME.IO a while back and it works fine, but the camera wouldn't connect to the internet all of a sudden today and would get stuck on the reset screen, including initializing and even switching USB Connection mode. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?
