We were smitten with last year’s Fujifilm X20, awarding it a full five stars in our review, so when we heard it was being replaced with a new improved model, it had our shutter fingers quivering with excitement. And here is that replacement: the Fujifilm X30.
A little (but only a little) pricier than the X20 was at launch, the X30 looks decidedly similar at first glance – but there are a number of noteworthy improvements on board. Is it worth the extra outlay, or should you stick with last year’s model (available for around £350 these days)? Read on for our opinion on Fujifilm’s latest retro-styled compact camera.
The X30’s 28-122mm f/2.0-2.8 manual zoom lens, 12MP X-trans sensor and EXR II image processor are retained from the X20, so it’s fair to say the “vitals” of the camera remain pretty much unchanged.
