 The Fujifilm X30 is a clone of X20 camera, since it features same small sensor and image processor as of X20 camera, on the other side we have Sony RX100 M3 camera that features 1 inch large sensor and very small and compact body design… take a look at the core specification below….
 Sensor Tech: The fujifilm features 2/3″ CMOS image sensor and built with X-Trans bespoke pixel array, the pixel pattern literally reduce the need of optical low pass filter above the sensor, the other major advantage of the X-Trans sensor is the presence of active phase AF pixels inside the sensor, so you get HYBRID AF system that uses contrast and phase AF method with the X30 camera to acquire AF.
the Sony RX100 M3 comes with large 20.1 megapixel 1″ Exmor R CMOS sensor features backside-illuminated technology, due to the large sensor size and bright optical lens the sensor get more light compared to Fuji X30 sensor and the difference is clearly visible… the RX100 M3 does produces excellent level of details in the images by maintaining the minimum amount of noise.
Lens: As we have already said that the lens used in the RX100 M3 camera delivers more light compared to the X30 camera not only due to the difference in the aperture range but also due to the difference in the size of lens elements, the RX100 M3 lens elements are designed for large sensor by and they also feature low aperture range… so the RX100M3 will provide more shallow DOF and noise less low-light images when compared to the X30.
Being small the Fuji lens is able to focus as close as 1cm, the Sony RX100 M3 macro range is limited to 5 cm, you also get 1X more optical zoom lens with Fuji X30.
AF System: We have no doubt that the Fuji X30 will do faster AF since it features advance AF sensor that utilizes Phase and Contrast based methods, on the other side we have Sony RX100 M3 uses traditional contrast detect AF system.
Top continuous speed: Fujifilm x30 can take up to 12 continuous shots whereas Sony RX100 III can take up to 10 shots continuously.
Display: Both the cameras support the same 3” tilting LCD but their pixels varies. Sony RX100 III has a pixel density of 1,228,800 pixels whereas Fujifilm x30 has a pixel density of 920000 pixels.
Hot Shoe: Fujifilm x30 has a hot shoe on its body to attach an external flash for better lightning conditions when required.
Battery life: Fujifilm X30 can take 470 shots in one cycle but Sony RX100 III can take 320 shots only.
Dimensions: Sony RX100 III is smaller than Fujifilm X30.
Weight: Sony RX100 III is lighter than Fujifilm X30.
Verdict: We highly recommend you to buy the Sony RX100 M3 camera.

 Canon 7D Mk II is one of the best DSLR available in the market today where as X-T1 is a class leading mirrorless system with exceptional features, take a look at the detailed specification comparison review
 Megapixel: The Canon EOS 7D Mark II is built with more megapixel as compared to Fujifilm X-T1, so the 7D Mark II is capable of producing high-resolution, well-detailed still imagery and HD videos.
Bigger Sensor Size: The BIT large sensor size of Fujifilm X-T1 makes it capable to acquire more light while shooting images, But does the result will show significant difference compared to 7D Mk II is still a question until we see image comparison.
The NO-OLPF benefit – The Fujifilm X-T1 is designed with a randomized pixel pattern to eliminate the need of an optical low-pass filter whereas Canon EOS 7D Mark II includes an optical low-pass filter. Due to the absence of low pass filter Theoretically the images produced by Fujifilm X-T1 will be more clear and will have a better depth of color when compared with the images produced by Canon EOS 7D Mark II at 100%.
More AF Points: Canon EOS 7D Mark II Fast Hybrid AF system utilizes altogether 65 AF points but Fujifilm X-T1 offers just 49 AF points. So, it is clear that Canon EOS 7D Mark II will do fast and accurate focusing than Fujifilm X-T1.

 Canon 7D Mark II and Samsung NX1 finally announced, we now have confirmed set of specification of both the camera, take a look at the specification below.
 Sensor + AF System – If we look at history (2 year ago from now), Sensor and AF module are two different things in a DSLR, the sensor captures the image and AF module used to lock AF on the subject. But now the things are changed and new generation of PDAF (Phase detect Auto Focus ) sensor are coming.
Canon is rumored (or has the capability) to implement 20 megapixel single layer Dual pixel AF sensor only (multi layer dual-pixel AF technology will take some more time but Canon does have some patents), on the other hand the Samsung will add a 28 megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor (BSI or ISO CELL we are not confirmed at this point, but I will not pay $1500+ for a camera body if it doesn’t have ISO CELL sensor inside it)….
Back to comparison– Samsung NX1 features a massive resolution of 28 megapixel but Canon 7D Mark II limited to 20 megapixel. The Canon 7D MK II PDAF sensor will carry 65 AF points “All Cross-type”, Dual cross on the center point and on the other hand the Samsung NX1 will feature 205 phase and 209 contrast-detection autofocus points … – Best Sensor – Winner Samsung
SPEED – Continuous shooting speed, Video recording, JPEG processing and the overall speed, depend upon the type of Image processor inside the camera , Canon will use Dual DIGIC 6 Processors and Samsung will use new generation of DRIMe V Signal Processor.
With the help of Dual DIGIC 6 Processors Canon is able to shoot 20 Megpixels of 10 frame in 1 second and Samsung can capture 28 megapixel 15 frames in 1 second. – Top shooting Speed- Winner Samsung
Video: Now we are sure that Samsung NX1 do shoot 4K videos but in mp4 format on the other hand Canon 7D limited to Full HD recording only and available formats are MOV and MP4 file formats , plus you also get a option to record uncompressed videos to an optional external recorded
WiFi and NFC – Samsung NX1 feature NFC and WiFi for remote shooting and sharing, unfortunately the 7D Mk II will not have WiFi or NFC.
Lack of Lens Support: Samsung is very weak here, Canon 7D Mark II will get full support of EF and EF-S lenses, Samsung NX1 will arrive with limited lenses at first (one we already have and 2-3 new lenses will arrive at the time of NX1 announcement).. but the lack of pro-grade lenses will sure impact on NX1 sales volume.
Verdict: Based on Specification we have Samsung NX1 camera is a clear winner, we recommend you to buy Samsung NX1 over Canon 7D Mark II.

 We have compared the core specification of recently announced Fujifilm X30 camera with the Fujifilm X20 camera, but we are not able to find any major difference between the X30 and X20… take a look
 The worst part is the Sensor and Optical lens remains same, Why a current Fuji X20 owner will spend $600 to get same image quality from a new camera? Fuji is just Re-branding old product with a new name ..improving the display screen, adding WiFi..etc… will not improve the image quality … don’t waste your money in Buying in the X30 camera.. If you want to buy compact X series camera with phase AF support we recommend you to go with Fujifilm X20, Since the X20 will cost you $150 less than current X30 camera and will give you same image quality as of the new one.
