Fujifilm X-T10 vs Fujifilm X-T30

The bottom line

Same line, different generation: the Fujifilm X-T30 (2019) moves ahead on burst speed (30fps vs 8fps) and resolution (26.1MP vs 16.3MP). The Fujifilm X-T10 is still the value pick at $799 ($899 for the Fujifilm X-T30). If those newer features aren't ones you'll actually use, the Fujifilm X-T10 gives you most of the experience for less.

Choose the Fujifilm X-T30 if…

  • You shoot action, sports or wildlife — 30fps burst and 425 phase-detect points keeps up with fast, erratic movement where 8fps would drop frames.
  • You shoot video seriously — it brings Log for gradable footage.
  • You want maximum detail for landscapes, studio or large prints — 26.1MP resolves noticeably more than 16.3MP and gives more cropping latitude.
  • You shoot in low light or indoors — a higher native ISO ceiling (12,800) and AF that focuses down to -3 EV give it the edge after dark.

Where they differ

  • Burst: the Fujifilm X-T30 shoots 30fps to the Fujifilm X-T10's 8fps — the gap that decides whether you nail the peak moment in sports and wildlife.
  • Price: the Fujifilm X-T10 launched at $799, $100 under the Fujifilm X-T30 — money that could go toward glass.
  • Resolution: 26.1MP on the Fujifilm X-T30 vs 16.3MP — more detail and crop room, at the cost of larger files.
