Fuji X-T30 Major specification leaked today, the Fuji X-T30 camera features same sensor as we have seen inside the Fuji X-T3 camera. The Fuji X-T30 is an attempt to gain more market share of APS -C camera. There are lot of photographers out there, who are not able to afford the $1699 camera. Now, after the arrival of Fuji XT-30 camera we will get a affordable X-T30 camera at approx $1000 price range. So, you will be getting or enjoying the same 4th generation X-Trans 26MP CMOS Sensor under $1K body which is truly remarkable.
Fuji registered one more camera at wireless certification agency. And the model code of the camera is FF180003. The camera features same wireless part as we have seen inside the Fuji xt3 camera. As we have told you earlier also and [Fuji X-T30 Coming in 2019] Based on previous trends of Fuji, It’s look like Fuji registered Fuji X-T30 camera and next few months we will be having a affordable X-T3 camera in hour hands.
Take a look at the registration details of the Fuji X-T30 camera
Fuji X-T30, When actually it’s coming ?
In Past we have seen that, there was more than 14 months of gap between Fuji X-T1 and Fuji X-T10 announcement. But, there was only 6 months of gap between the Fuji X-T2 and Fuji X-T20 announcement. So, its all depend upon the sales number and market demand. Once the desired sales numbers are reached, Fuji will sure announce a affordable Fuji X-T3 camera under Fuji X-T30 body to reach out more people and gain more market share.
Based on a educated guess the Fuji X-T30 camera should arrive sometime around May / June of 2019 is everything goes on schedule inside Fuji.
Fuji X-T3 de-ranked, low market demand for now
Although we do know that Fuji X-T3 camera was selling like hotcakes on the first day after its release. But, the market demand Fuji X-T3 camera doesn’t look so good for now. [check out best selling mirrorless camera at Amazon] although it do received lot of popularity in reviews worldwide but apparently at the time I am writing this post Fuji X-T3 #19 best selling Mirrorless camera at Amazon.com which is even behind Fuji X-H1 camera which is placed at #7 position.
Fujifilm XP series new camera on its way, the Fuji XP 140 camera name leaked by bluetooth certification agency. As we know the Fuji XP 130 camera features 16MP sensor and 5X optical zoom lens. Possibly, the next iteration of the camera will have some modified set of specification, and may also include 4k video recording option.
Well there are lot people, those who are waiting for Fuji X-T30 camera. As we all know Fuji X-T30 camera is the only camera in Fuji line-up which uses third generation of 26MP Fuji X-Trans sensor. So, its bit obvious for people to wait for next iteration.
It’s bit logical to except a Fuji X-T30 camera from Fuji also, If you look at the announcement pattern of Fuji X-T series Cameras, then you will find a rhythm in their announcement pattern.
Also Keep in mind factors like Target sales unit and Competitors.
In a very simple way if we talk about the possible arrival time of Fuji Next X-T30 camera then we have less than 6 months. Fuji will announce their Fuji X-T30 camera between March to May Months of 2019. Since, Fuji only took only 6 month to announce X-T20 camera after the announcement of Fuji X-T2.
Now let’s. talk it in bit details while considering some other factors.
The First Factor is Target Sales of X-T3
In general other camera companies also follow the same trend and you should aware of that. Once the sales target of a flagship camera is reached and company already earned a good amount from the sales. They announces the affordable version of the same camera to reach out more people and gain more sales.

Fuji X-Pro2, Fuji X-H2 and X-E3 Updates are Due with X-Trans 4
Before we think of getting a affordable X-Trans 4 body in our hand we have to think over that Fuji flagships update are overdue. And if they put X-Trans 4 sensor under affordable body, it will hamper future flagship camera sales.
Fuji Changed its strategy, their only main aim is to lead the APS-C segment despite of taking care of their own flagship cameras, that’s why instead of putting attention towards X-Pro2 update Fuji putting attention towards other model development and announcement. Their only aim is to put best Specs in front of consumers under reasonable price tag.
Fuji X-T30 Early Announcement Depend Upon Competitor offerings
If Sony announces Sony A6700 on NAB or at Photokina 2019 [see first set of leaked specs here] the only way to kill its sale is to put a affordable body in market carrying 26MP X-Trans sensor and with 4K30p recording option under or approx $1000 price range. So, Fuji X-T30 announcement actually depend competitors offerings.
Fuji X-T30 will arrive in 2019 only if Sony announces something better than Fuji X-T3 with lower price tag. Otherwise we have to wait till 2020.
Do share your thoughts with us. Do remember Fuji GFX 100 Official announcement is due for 2019
In a Latest interview by Cameta Camera at PhotoPlus EXPO 2018 Fujifilm manager confirmed that their Fuji film GFX 100 camera will going to cost you approx $9,995 in USA. Take a look at the set rumored specification of the upcoming Fuji GFX 100
Fujifilm GFX 100 Camera Early Specification
100 MP Sony BSI
4k
IBIS
Conventional Shape
Multipurpose camera / not limited to Studio application
$9,995 is the expected price
Sony and Fuji do have a long term partnership, As well know that Fuji GFX50 series camera is using Sony 50MP sensor at the same time the upcoming Fuji GFX100 camera will also use Sony 100MP BSI CMOS Sensor. Btw, building a sensor-shift image stabilization system for a 100MP Medium Format sensor is a real challenge.
The camera is set to arrive in the year of 2019 and we may see some kind of development announcement in Photokina 2019 event.
We will update you soon as we get any new information.
