📸 A Classic Design Meets Modern Performance
The Fujifilm X-T30 III continues the legacy of the X-T30 series, offering a lightweight body (just 378g) and a classic center viewfinder design that appeals to both amateur and seasoned photographers. Available in three finishes—Silver, Black, and Charcoal Silver—the camera blends retro aesthetics with cutting-edge technology.
At its core, the X-T30 III features a back-illuminated 26.1MP X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor paired with the powerful X-Processor 5. This combination enables faster image processing—approximately twice the speed of its predecessor—and supports the latest subject-detection autofocus system. Whether you’re capturing fast-moving subjects or shooting in low light, the X-T30 III promises responsive and accurate performance.
🎨 Enhanced Film Simulation and Color Modes
One of the standout features of the X-T30 III is its newly added Film Simulation dial, which allows users to quickly switch between Fujifilm’s renowned color profiles. These include classic modes like Velvia, Provia, and Acros, as well as newer recipes that mimic the look of analog film. This makes the camera ideal for photographers who want to experiment with creative color grading straight out of the camera.
🔍 Intelligent Autofocus and Speed
Thanks to the upgraded processor, the X-T30 III boasts improved autofocus tracking and subject recognition. It can detect and follow faces, eyes, animals, and vehicles with greater precision, making it a versatile tool for street photography, portraits, and action shots. The camera also supports burst shooting at up to 20 frames per second with the electronic shutter, ensuring you never miss a moment.
💼 New Wide-Angle Zoom Lens Option
Alongside the camera, Fujifilm has introduced a new lens: the XC 13-33mm F3.5-6.3 OIS. This unusually wide zoom lens offers a 20-50mm equivalent focal range, making it perfect for landscapes, architecture, and everyday shooting. The lens features Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) to reduce blur from hand movement and is designed to complement the compact form factor of the X-T30 III.
The camera body alone will retail for $999, while the kit including the new lens will be priced around $1150. This makes the X-T30 III an attractive entry point into Fujifilm’s mirrorless ecosystem, especially for users looking for a stylish and capable travel companion.
🌍 Global Launch and Availability
Fujifilm confirmed that the X-T30 III will be available worldwide starting November 2025. The camera is expected to be sold through major retailers and online platforms, including B&H Photo and Fujifilm’s official website. Early previews and hands-on videos are already circulating, giving potential buyers a closer look at the camera’s capabilities.
