Fujifilm announce X-T30 III camera – ideal for everyday photography

The X-T30 III is the latest addition to the popular X Series range of mirrorless digital cameras. With a large, 26.1-megapixel sensor and the lightning-fast X-Processor 5, the 378g X-T30 III offers high-end performance in a compact and stylish package.
Taking inspiration from vintage camera design, the X-T30 III features a tactile, dial-operated control system that enables intuitive adjustments to exposure and Film Simulation settings. Ideal for everyday use, the interchangeable lens design gives users total creative freedom, and access to FUJIFILM’s renowned lens line-up. This stylish camera is available in three different colour variants – Black, Silver and Charcoal Silver, and as a kit with the new XC13-33mmF3.5-6.3 OIS lens.
The X-T30 III is a mirrorless digital camera that continues the popular design of a classic center viewfinder style camera. It boasts a compact and lightweight body weighing just 378g, features a back-illuminated 26.1 megapixel X-Trans™ CMOS 4 sensor and the high-speed processing engine, X-Processor 5. Compared to the previous model, it processes images about twice as fast and uses the latest subject detection autofocus, allowing photographers to enjoy high-quality and comfortable shooting.
Additionally, the camera includes the popular Film Simulation dial. This dial lets users easily switch between various Film Simulation modes—like changing photo films—to enhance creative expression with intuitive dial control.
The camera offers 20 different Film Simulations, including REALA ACE, known for faithful colour reproduction and clear tonal gradation, and NOSTALGIC Neg., which provides colourful yet soft tones. The dial has three customisable positions, which allows users to register their original “Recipes” with preferred Film Simulations and settings for versatile photo styles.
The X-T30 III keeps popular features from the previous model such as a popup flash and an AUTO shooting mode switch lever for easy shooting and ideal for beginners. It also expands creative options with new support for 6.2K/30P video recording.
Designed to meet the needs of first-time digital camera users as well as those looking for serious photography, the X-T30 III offers comfortable operation, intuitive shooting experiences, and refined design that bring more enjoyment to photography.
Product Features
(1)Advanced image processing devices delivers reliable autofocus and versatile visual expression
The camera features a back-illuminated 26.1-megapixel X-Trans™ CMOS 4 sensor and the latest high-speed image processor X-Processor 5. Thanks to improved power efficiency, battery life has achieved 425 frames per charge.
It uses the latest subject detection autofocus powered by deep learning technology. In addition to face and eye detection, it automatically recognises and tracks a wide range of subjects including animals, birds, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, airplanes, trains, insects, and drones. This allows photographers to focus on composition and timing for a more comfortable shooting experience.
The camera supports 6.2K/30P internal recording in 4:2:2 10-bit quality. It also features high speed video shooting at 4K/60P and 1080/240P. Powerful digital image stabilisation reduces not only small shakes but also strong movements like when recording video while walking.
(2) Compact and lightweight design with a Film Simulation dial to expand creative shooting
The X-T30 III keeps the same size (W118.4mm × H82.8mm × D46.8mm) and weight (378g) as the previous model. Its classic center viewfinder style follows the heritage of the X-T series, offering a compact and lightweight body that’s suitable to carry every day.
It includes 20 Film Simulations, including REALA ACE and NOSTALGIC Neg. A Film Simulation dial on the top-plate allows intuitive selection to match the subject or scene. This unique digital colour reproduction technology faithfully recreates the look of traditional photo films, making it easy and fun even for first-time digital camera users.
The dial has three customisable positions (FS1 to FS3), where users can register their favourite Film Simulation and quality settings as original “FS Recipes.” These can be quickly accessed by turning the dial, for versatile shooting styles suited to different scenes and subjects.
(3) Compact and lightweight design with a Film Simulation dial to expand creative shooting
An Auto Mode Selector Lever on the top of the camera lets users instantly switch to AUTO mode. In this mode, the camera automatically detects the scene and selects optimal shooting settings, so the user can shoot easily without worrying about complicated controls.
The camera has a built-in flash integrated with the viewfinder. It automatically adjusts flash output, making it effective for portraits in low light or backlit situations.
The center viewfinder style places the finder directly above the lens axis, allowing users to aim directly at subjects through the viewfinder. This enables better focus on the subject and background, enjoying the classic shooting experience of looking through the viewfinder before taking the shot.
It features a rear LCD monitor with a 1.62-million-dot tilt structure, which makes composing shots easy from high or low angles—perfect for travel and landscape photography.
Ergonomically designed grip fits comfortably in the hand, offering excellent hold despite the camera’s compact and lightweight body.
The X-T30 III can connect wirelessly to Fujifilm’s smartphone printers in the Link series, enabling direct printing without using an app. Newly added support for the instax™ mini, instax™ SQUARE, and instax™ WIDE formats helps users enjoy a smooth experience from shooting to printing

The X-T30 III is available as a kit with a brand new lens, the FUJINON XC13-33mmF3.5-6.3 OIS.
Weighing only 147g and offering an excellent selection of commonly used focal lengths, the two form a potent pairing for everyday and travel photography.
With a fixed minimum focusing distance of 20cm, it can deliver great close-up photos, while a 4.0-stop Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) system greatly improves low-light performance.
