Fujifilm Launches X‑T30 III With Film Simulation Dial, 6.2K Video and X‑Processor 5

The update brings Fujifilm’s film‑simulation dial to a lower price point with stronger video options.

Overview

  • The X‑T30 III retains a 26.1MP X‑Trans CMOS 4 sensor but upgrades to the X‑Processor 5, improving autofocus performance and power efficiency.
  • Video support now includes 6.2K open‑gate up to 30p, 4K/60p and 10‑bit 4:2:2 recording, with Fujifilm estimating about 45 minutes at 6.2K per battery and no official overheating guidance yet.
  • A new top‑plate film‑simulation dial offers quick access to 20 looks plus three custom slots, complementing tactile controls and a built‑in flash.
  • Practical trade‑offs include no in‑body stabilization, a single UHS‑I SD slot, a 2.5mm mic input, microHDMI and USB‑C, framing it as a compact hybrid geared to stills.
  • Preorders are open at $999 for the body or $1,149 with the new XC 13–33mm F3.5–6.3 OIS manual‑retractable kit lens, with shipping slated to begin in November in three color options.
