Fuji X30, small but great.


Recommended Posts

I've had my X30 since January this year after upgrading from an X10 which unfortunately was damaged in a careless crushing incident at the Brno Moto GP race last year :( I'm loving the X30, it takes great pictures and the new features are fantastic. It's really handy being able to download images on my phone, do a quick edit in snapseed and have them online within minutes of taking them, that's a great addition. The tilting screen is also a big plus point and I find myself using it a lot to get those tricky angles as well as sneakier street style stuff. Could it do with a bigger sensor? Of course but it is what it is and I think it's a fantastic little camera, bring it with me everywhere and take 90% of my photos with it. I was torn between getting the X30 and an XM1 and I think I made the right decision for my needs. Would absolutely love an XT10 though, oof!

 

Here's two landscape shots taken on "Frank" as I call my X30, "Fred" was my X10 who did a great job also, really liked that sensor.

RIP Fred and welcome Frank!

 

The X-M1 would be slightly larger due to the interchangeable lens I think. Although it has one of the best colors and high ISO performance in a relatively affordable package.

 

The X-T10 would be great for chasing action.

I was looking for something to replace my LX7 when I moved from Micro Four-Thirds. I had an XM1 but found it a little too big for a "take everywhere" camera, because the X mount lenses are quite large.Today a mint used X30 arrived, and I have to say I love it already. Yes, of course the sensor could do with being bigger, and I would like it to have a 10x zoom lens and fit in my trouser pocket, but it is always about compromise and for me this is the perfect "little camera" to use when I don't want to carry the X-T1.

I agree with the small but great statement.  I just got myself a 2nd hand X30 from one of the forummers in Singapore.  Loving it.

 

Used to have an X10 but sold it away because of weird colour problem.  Red becomes DARK red instead and as it was a 2nd hand unit, sold it away.
