Fujifilm’s X-T30 is one of my favourite cameras of recent times because it combines a solid build, traditional controls and a relatively compact body with the ability to produce attractive images that have excellent colour and exposure, plus a good level of detail. So it’s with mixed emotions that I discover that the X-T30 II only makes a few upgrades on its predecessor, most of which, some might argue, could have been implemented with a simple firmware update to the X-T30. But let’s focus on what the new camera offers.

First up, I have no qualms about the sensor and processing engine, they are the same 26.1MP X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor and X-Processor 4 as in the X-T4 and X-T30. That’s a great combination and it delivers the image quality that both I and many other photographers like.

The X-T30 II only has a few physical upgrades on the X-T30, one of which is a move from a 1.04-million dot screen on its rear to a 1.62-million dot device. That simply means that when viewing your images, they look even crisper than before. The rest of the upgrades are on the inside of the X-T30 II, for example, it has the enhanced autofocus (AF) algorithms of the X-T4 to make its Intelligent Hybrid AF system faster and more sensitive in low light than the X-T30. In fact, when the Fujifilm XF50mm f1.0 R WR lens is mounted, the X-T30 II’s AF system is sensitive down to 7.0EV rather than -3EV with the X-T30.
