Fujifilm X T30 III A Compact Powerhouse for Creators

Fujifilm has just pulled the curtain back on the X-T30 III, the latest evolution in its beloved series of compact mirrorless cameras. This new model builds upon the solid foundation of the X-T30 II, packing in significant upgrades like AI-powered autofocus and 6.2K video recording, all while maintaining the classic, tactile design that photographers love.

A Classic Design with Modern Power

At first glance, the X-T30 III is familiar. It keeps the same compact and lightweight magnesium alloy body as its predecessor, weighing in at just 13.3 oz (378 g). This makes it an ideal companion for travel and everyday photography. The signature dial-based controls and central electronic viewfinder remain, offering an intuitive, film-camera-like shooting experience that sets the X-T series apart. For those new to photography or wanting a simpler experience, a dedicated switch activates a full Auto mode, letting the camera intelligently handle settings for you.

Unleash Your Creativity with Film Simulations

A standout new feature is the dedicated top-plate dial for Fujifilm's renowned Film Simulations. This gives you instant access to 20 different looks, from Classic Chrome to the new REALA ACE. For those who love to fine-tune their images, the dial also includes three customizable slots (FS1–FS3) to save and recall your favorite custom "recipes" with unique adjustments to grain, color, and tone.

Professional Video in a Compact Body

The X-T30 III is a formidable video camera. It now records stunning 6.2K video internally at 30p with rich 10-bit 4:2:2 color, a significant step up from its predecessor. It also offers 4K at 60p for smooth action shots and Full HD at 240p for dramatic slow-motion effects. Digital image stabilization helps keep your handheld footage steady, and a Portrait Enhancer mode works to improve skin tones directly in-camera.

Why the X-T30 III is a Game Changer

This camera successfully blends portability with high-end performance. By incorporating the advanced X-Processor 5, the X-T30 III delivers AI-assisted autofocus and pro-level video quality in a package that's both smaller and more affordable than its professional counterparts. The new Film Simulation dial makes Fujifilm's celebrated color science more accessible than ever, empowering both beginners and seasoned photographers to achieve their creative vision. With support for over 40 interchangeable lenses, it's a system that can grow with you.
