Fujifilm X-T30 Charcoal Silver 2019
The 26.1MP X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor and X-Processor 4 drive 30fps electronic bursts and DCI 4K/30p video with 10-bit 4:2:2 output over HDMI. Its face- and eye-detection AF works reliably in AF-C mode down to -3EV, complemented by a tilting 3-inch touch LCD for awkward angles. This camera suits product photographers needing precise, high-resolution stills and YouTubers filming detailed 4K content, though the lack of stabilization and weather sealing makes it a poor travel companion.
