X30 is an impressive compact camera that captures high quality images. The camera works well on both basic and advanced levels, allowing anyone to easily capture great images while giving more advanced users plenty of control when they want it.

The Fujifilm X30 can be one heck of a camera in the hands of the right photographer. With great image quality, a decent zoom range, versatile RAW files, and overall great ergonomics, what is there not to like?

While the X30 isn't a major upgrade to the X20, the new EVF does provide significant advantages over the previous model and gives users greater shooting flexibility as well as making the camera more pleasant to use.

The Fujifilm X30 delivers sharp, detailed images with rich saturated colours typical of Fujifilm, as well as good noise performance. The camera has a 3inch tilting screen, plus a high resolution electronic viewfinder (EVF), built in Wi-Fi, and improved battery life.

MarcioK that is a good idea! Let's hope Fuji gave public release on the .mts file for we could analyze if their video quality is good enough to be prefered.

....found these specs on mirrorlessrumors ....see #7 looks like manual video to me ...just no slow shutter

@jeanspillane I've looked at the stills and I'm also not too impressed with the details and noise. For video, I haven't seen that much examples. I like the fact the it has a mic input, something Panasonic would probably not do with the upcoming 1 inch camera. Although in a video on youtube, it looks like the mic levels can only be adjusted in three or four steps. That's not really level adjustment in my book.

@John_Farragut I forgot the website but in the website, it is mentioned that the reviewer feels that the video capability of X30 is better compared to X20. However, it does not mention if X-trans exhibits moire and aliasing in video. I keep on eye to the information about video bitrate and its codec quality. A great idea is to have Fujifilm sent Fuji X30 to Vitaliy to see how is the video quality! If the video only exibits tolerable moire and aliasing, and has good smooth video with minimum macro blocking, then indeed it is a great combination of photo and video compact camera. Remember that like X10, X30 is coming with the highly regarded 28-108mm equivalent at f2.0-2.8 which should be helpful for video.

Vitaliy, do you have more details on this X30 video capability? I almost reach my decision to sell my Fuji X10 now! I watch the youtube link that you gave to me and found manual mode for iso, shutter speed, and aperture in video mode?? That is crazy man!
