Fujifilm X-T30 III Silver 2020
The X-T30 III pairs a 26MP X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor with 6.5-stop IBIS and 30fps electronic bursts, delivering flagship-level capture in a 383g body. Its 3.7M-dot EVF and 10-bit 4K60 video with Log and RAW output make it a versatile hybrid at a mid-range price. This camera suits product photographers and streamers who need accurate color, fast subject detection, and clean high-frame-rate footage without the bulk of a full-frame system.
