Fujifilm Unveils the X30 Compact Camera

We’ve already seen several Fujifilm camera models in the past and all of them have one thing in common – that iconic retro design. This week the Japanese camera manufacturer has added a new model to its lineup that features this retro design coupled with new imaging technology including Wi-Fi and an EVF.

The Fujifilm X30 is meant to replace one of the company’s best-selling point-and-shoot cameras, the X20. Just like its predecessor, the X30 also bears that vintage look with its crimpled leather texture and metal components. The camera is packing a 12MP 2/3-inch X-Trans II CMOS sensor complemented by a 28-112mm equivalent f/2.0-2.8 lens and an EXR Processor II imaging engine.
The company claims the X30 has the fastest autofocus speeds of any camera at 0.0 seconds. It also has a startup time of 0.5 seconds, a shutter time lag of 0.01 seconds and a shooting interval of 0.35 seconds. 
At the back, you will find a 3.0-inch 920k-dot LCD monitor which can be tilted to suit a photographer’s needs. There’s also a new 2.36M-dot, 0.65 magnification OLED viewfinder with a 0.005-second lag time. The X30 also comes with a manual zoom and control ring as well as two dials and six function buttons for better and more convenient fiddling of controls.

Lastly, the X30 also comes with Wi-Fi, an improved battery that is capable of shooting approximately 470 photos on one charge and a new “Classic Chrome” setting that promises muted tones and deep color reproduction.
The Fujifilm X30 will be available this September for around $600 in either black or silver.
