Fujifilm Simulations Camera Ram

Great camera, love the film simulations.

I have a Nikon Z8 for proper photo shoots where I plan on lugging all my gear. I picked up a smaller Zf for travel but after a couple of trips realized it was too big. Sometimes I'll take my Nikon F6 and shoot 35mm as I enjoy the experience and look of the final product. The X-T30 II allows me to take a smaller camera than the Zf while getting great .jpgs with the various film simulations that mimic the F6 results: win-win. I bought this along with the XF 23mm f/2 R WR lens for a formidable combo that worked really well on a recent road trip where I combined landscape, street, and car photography. I plan on adding the 27mm f/2.8 for a truly pocketable experience but for now, this combo serves me well. This is my first Fuji camera and I found the user interface to be intuitive (easier than Sony). The joystick is responsive and changing the film simulations is straightforward and more importantly, it's fast. The weight is negligible but feels solid in the hand, as do the buttons and dials. Shooting in .jpg makes simplifies transferring and sharing photos via the Fuji app. Something I do at the end of the day in the hotel while traveling without the additional steps of downloading to my laptop, editing, uploading, and sharing. Overall I'm happy with the results given the size, performance, & price, and look forward to taking it with me more often.

Why does Fuji waste time and money with built-in film simulations? Do they think there are photographers who want medium format jpgs? I can't imagine why anyone who wants a medium format camera would not want to edit the raw image in Lightroom and/or Photoshop first, and add film simulations there, rather than be stuck with a film-sim jpeg that can't be edited as well. I love the camera but it just seems stupid.

I have been very impressed with this little camera. The film simulations are a lot of fun and the simplicity of the fixed 28 is freeing after shooting slr and mirrorless in the past.

This camera take beautiful pictures. The view through the view finder is amazing. Love playing with film simulations and all the features it's has. Best camera you can buy for $1000 and matches many full frames at higher price. Highly recommend.

The lens performance, the OVF & EVF, the new film simulations, and the flip screen, among other features, make this camera worth the highish purchase price. I'm glad I made the plunge.

This is a great camera for street photography or travel. light and compact, Film simulations are nice if you don't feel like editing RAW images . Love Classic Chrome and Acros. No regrets

Use it on my FujiFilm camera

Use it in a Fujifilm camera and it works excellently.

This camera makes me want to shoot! It's honestly my favorite fujifilm camera! Love it!
