Japanese publication Nokishita has obtained alleged
official images of the upcoming Fujifilm X-T30 that rumored to be announced on
February 14, 2019. True to their track record, Nokishita has yet again obtained alleged
images of the upcoming Fujifilm X-T30 mid-range lifestyle camera. It is the
successor to the X-T20 that was announced globally in January of 2017.
From the images released, it is clearly visible that
the D-pad found in the previous X-T20 has been replaced with a Joystick similar
to the X-E3 released in late 2017 and is found in the bigger X-T3 and the X-H1.
This could also indicate that the X-T30 will also have a touch screen with the
directional gesture commands that replaced the D-pad that was introduced in the
X-E3.
In the article Nokishita published, it also said
that it carries a 26.1MP sensor sensor that was found in the X-T3 that was
announced late in 2018. It is rumored to also have the much improved autofocus
from the X-T3 along with the better ISO performance. The article also said that the dimensions are 118.4
x 82.8 x 46.8 mm and will 383 grams which is the exact same weight of the
previous X-T20. It is speculated to retain the 4K 30fps video recording and the
1/4000th of a second maximum shutter speed.
Lastly, the first image shows that the X-T30 could
be bundled with the XC 15 to 45 OIS PZ pancake zoom lens that was sold as a kit
along with the more affordable X-A5 camera
and the XF 18-55 OIS lens. (Visible on black X-T30 on the right) There is no word yet on pricing
and availability. We will update the article as soon the information becomes
available.
