Fujifilm today introduced a new option in its popular X-Series camera lineup, as well as a fast wide-angle prime for the system.
Fujifilm X-T30.
The Fujifilm X-T30 offers performance characteristics similar to the X-T3, but in a lighter, more compact design. This 26.1-megapixel APS-C mirrorless camera can capture up to 30 fps, and features an AF system with face and eye detection that’s available in AF continuous mode for moving subjects. It can record 4K video at 30 frames per second, and also 1080p resolution at 120 fps for slow-motion video. It will be available in March at a list price of $899.
The FUJINON XF16mmF2.8 R WR Lens is the second 16mm prime XF lens, and though slightly slower than the FUJINON LENS XF16mmF1.4 R WR, it’s also about half the price at $399 compared to the ƒ/1.4 model at $749. It can focus as close as 6.69 inches and provides a 35mm-equivalent focal length of 24mm.
