This fantastic brush aluminum camera is a classic beauty to behold and even more thrilling to use.
The physical - One of the captivating aspects of this camera is that it's built with button dials, so if you wanted to adjust your shutter speed, exposure, or shot profile setting, you can do so with a satisfying turn of a button. This kinesthetic interaction really gives you a feeling of involvement and adds to the photography/videography experience, there's just something so alluring and satisfying with being able to physically change your photographic settings.
This camera is definitely stylish, lightweight, and compact. It has a retro design that's sure to catch the eye of your clients and your heart. Though I will say, the brushed aluminum design is quick to scratch so I'd recommend being extra careful where you place/store it. I'd recommend purchasing an individual case just for the camera itself.
The photos - whether you choose to shoot in JPEG or RAW (or both), the quality of the photos will never disappoint you. Every image (using both the kit lens and a 7artisan 24mm 1.8 prime lens) comes out wonderfully sharp and with true to life colors. The autofocus on the lens is fantastic, capturing your subject in focus even if they're moving around all over the place. I prefer to take pictures using manual settings, but even using the auto setting I'm never disappointed. Color reproduction and details are great.
Fujifilm also comes with an extensive menu that allows complete control and customization of almost anything you can and can't think of. As a matter of fact, there are so many settings that it can definitely feel overwhelming. I primarily take pictures using a prime lens, however, in order to take pictures with a prime you have to search through a mountain of setting and find "shoot photos without a lens." I had to go to Youtube in order to find this setting, it was pretty hard to find.
Videos - I haven't shot videos using this cam yet, however it does shoot in 4k and if it's anything like the photos it takes, you won't be disappointed. One note, however, this camera LCD screen flips down but does not flip up, which may be a deterrent if you're a vlogger.
Overall - If you're looking for a lightweight, stylish, and capable camera that gives you full control of your photographic experience at a great price, look no further.

4K video on this is *astounding*

This is a great camera for stills, and the included lens does an excellent job, but the real strength of this - in my eyes - is the video. It's not just 4K video - it's up to *200 Mbps* 4K video with an option to stream to an external recorder for even better results. I've attached a screenshot of a frame of fireworks video I took at Epcot (Walt Disney World) on New Year's Eve. Just look at it. A screenshot of a frame of video - not exactly the best way to show it and yet it looks that good. Nighttime video that looks like that? How can you go wrong?
Again, the camera is great for photos. It's just that it's pretty much best in class for anything in this price range for video, and the ability to shoot 4K will be sufficient for many, many years before it's outdated. 8K is coming, sure, but 4K is more than enough for most households for a long time.
My only gripe is the Q button on the back. It's nearly impossible not to hit it by mistake.

Best 2nd camera I’ve ever owned. Some calls it for beginners but for me it’s also for pro. Nice to carry around not heavy and bulky. Takes great pics. Even with the kit lens looks nice already. imagine using a nicer lens then you’ll probably be with your camera 24/7

I did a lot of research before choosing the Fujifilm X-T30. Even though I am a seasoned film photographer, I have no experience with digital other than my cell phone.
Some high points:
- Great retro-feel with dials similar to my Canon AE-1
- Excellent and fast AF
- The “bargain” XC lens has bet put to the test, and while limited, creates beautiful and sharp photos within its abilities.
- Ability to bracket in film simulations is a bonus!
- Ergonomically comfortable.
- Would I buy this again? Absolutely!
- Would I buy it from Best Buy? The curb side pick-up took three minutes total. Great service and wonderful experience. Thanks!

This camera is easy to use, and produces high quality images. I am not super knowledgeable about of photography, so I keep the operation simple. Love the compact size. The lens it came with was quite nice. I used to own a Fujifilm X T-3. It costs more and it ‘feels’ more expensive, but the end result for me has been comparable. Wish it came with a charger that didn’t need to attach to the camera.

If you are looking for a small camera that you don’t have to struggle carrying it get this. There are some nice mirrorless cameras out there but this one you will never be disappointed. I have sony twice and returned it. I looked for something that will please me like my samsung NX 300. But samsung killed the game. But after research and reading reviews most and a lot of em wants the x T30.

First time purchasing a mirrorless Fujifilm and I love it. It’s way easier and lighter to carry than my bulky DSLR especially when traveling. The touch screen display is great though it doesn’t rotate. I like that the viewfinder has a sensor and you can switch between using the display or viewfinder. The lens is decent but you’ll likely need to upgrade. The camera is not weatherproof if you’re shooting in rain or snow and the video clip length is short. I do like the old school look and how compact it is. I am happy with my purchase.

I've been LOVING my Fuji. My only complaint would be that the auto focus sometimes picks up the wrong object to have in focus (often times it's objects in the background, not in the forefront). This problem is solved by using the touch screen and touching on the object you would like to be in focus. Other than that, I've been having a blast with this camera!

Though this camera is compact it still packs a punch. It maintains its own through various conditions of shooting style; whether studio photography or street photography it handles the job. The “q” button may sometimes get in the way but there are accessories that help make the overall handling of the camera. While this is the Xt-3 little brother it doesn’t fall shy of its older brothers excellent build and performance. Will recommend to any photographer looking to step up their gear.

This is one of the best purchases I've made. This camera is amazing no matter what your skill level is. It's super light weight and the pictures come out amazing. I would recommend to anyone who is traveling. My only suggestion is to pick up some better lenses.

Bought this camera for my son in college and he absolutely loves it! Once he gets some practice with it, he might eventually upgrade to a better lens. All in all, this is a fantastic camera for the price. My wife and I intend to borrow it from him when we go on our vacation trips as well. Previously, had spent weeks researching different brands and types of cameras as well as asking photographers their opinions and in the end are satisfied with our decision!

I love using this camera. Holding something purpose built in your hands is quite enjoyable. It also looks amazing. I end up shooting photos with a bit more intention when using this. Especially when compared with with a cellphone. I tend to take endless photos with a phone, most of which I never view again. This this camera, I look forward to uploading to my phone and casting onto a TV. I even started printing photo and framing them again. This camera really is a pleasure to own and use.

I absolutely love it. I carry a DSLR which can get heavy between the kit, lenses, filters, etc. So, this is a wonderful addition for daily shooting and it still carries some features better suited for a DSLR (long exposure shots, for example). The quality of shots are amazing and shutter speed is fantastically quick for action shots!
