As a hobby or a profession, photography can be a burdensome undertaking.
Its at points like these when photographers lament the days of carrying around a simple, lightweight camera.
Its on this emotion that Fujifilm maintains a very successful business creating professional-grade, compact cameras.
Whether its used as a pros sidearm or a beginners first step, its quite a powerful little machine.
Its intended to be a catch-all for a variety of photographic scenarios from sport to street to studio.
Like the other Fujifilm cameras in this line, its got professional functionality.
The new sensor on the Fujifilm X30 is a noteworthy step up for the brand.
Whats most noteworthy is the lack of a low-pass filter.
This is something the professional-grade digital cameras have been doing lately.
They drop the low-pass filter that provides a little anti-aliasing and increase overall image quality in the process.
Ignore megapixel count and embrace the rest of the offering.
Two other features that the Fujifilm X30 Compact Digital Camera offer are the real-time viewfinder and super fast autofocus.
Note the delay between the action in real life and what your phones display is showing.
That makes it really difficult to get an accurate capture of your subject.
There are a few other things to note.
First, the Fujifilm X30 is not an interchangeable lens camera.
It features a dedicated lens that will get you through most of the scenarios you will bring it to.
If youre worried about that, you’re free to opt for a DSLR instead.
The Fujifilm X30 Compact Digital Camerawill be available soonfor $599.
A pretty sweet little compact that will satisfy professionals and be a great introduction for enthusiast shooters.
