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.
Buy Fuji X20 from Amazon — Buy Fuji X30 from – Amazon and B&H
Some points, “Why a current Fuji X20 owner will spend $600”
1. BETTER (Not the same) image quality!
2. NEW X-Trans CMOS II Sensor
3. TILT Screen, not rear, with double Resolution
4. Longer batterylife
5. MUCH better Video-Mode
6. 100% EVF – today I don’t care about, that is Electronic
I would spend 600$
If the image processor and sensor is same – You will get same image quality.
If you have more bank balance, better you should by Leica…
