Fujifilm X-T30 II review: Minor upgrade, still a powerful camera March 31, 2022by Martin 6 The second generation Fujifilm X-T30 is not an upgrade camera. In fact, its differences compared to the original are so minor that you'll have a hard time noticing. But that's kind of beside the point: the X-T30 II is here for new buyers, and given its reasonable price point, while it's a small step up for the series, it's still a capable camera. What's new for the Mark II? High resolution LCD screen Improved low-light autofocus (up to -7EV) As we said: you will hardly notice the differences. Even the logos are the same - the "II" part only appears on the base of the camera, on the battery and card. As if this is a secret.
The main change is that the X-T30 II's rear LCD panel is higher C Level Executive List resolution (1.62 million dots, up from 1.02 million). There was also a change in autofocus, but since the overall system is the same in both cameras – the same number of focus points – you'll struggle to tell. In fact, this could be achieved through a software update rather than selling a new model. Autofocus is responsive in low light, but Fuji is a bit picky here - as -7EV is quoted with a 50mm f/1.0 lens (which is almost twice the price of the camera body). X-T30 II: Screen and viewfinder Built-in 0.39-inch, 0.62x mag, 2.
Meanwhile, the display is the same 2.36 m-dots as before and offers good quality thanks to the 100 fps refresh rate and 800 nits brightness. It's not the numbers that matter here though: how it performs when it's against your eye while delivering sharp, clean and smooth images. There are physically larger scanners out there, but for this price point this is a good solution. How does the X-T30 II work? Autofocus system up to 425 points (117 points can also be selected) 2.16 m on the automatic phase detection pixel sensor 8fps shooting (30fps with electronic shutter) Autofocus to -7EV in low light conditions - but only with f/1.0 lens We reviewed the camera with the 16-55mm f/2.
