DPRTV Fujifilm X-T30II vs X-S10 Comparison

DPRTV has always loved the Fujifilm X-T30. But then the Fujifilm X-S10 came along with some significant upgrades (such as IBIS). Can the new X-T30II close the gap again? Here is what DPRTV has to say about it:

• X-T30II very similar to X-T30 but also some important upgrades
• outside of camera is identical
• display on the back is better on X-T30II has higher resolution
• X-T30II has better RAM, hence has better buffer. In fact, here is how many shots you can take before it starts to slow down:
  X-T30 lossless compressed RAW at 8fps: 18 shots before slowing down
  X-T30II lossless compressed RAW at 8fps: 23 shots before slowing down
  X-T30II lossless compressed RAW at 5fps: 23 shots before slowing down
  X-T30II lossless compressed RAW at 8fps: 46 shots before slowing down
• X-T30II has new AF tracking of X-T4 with good hitrate. So better AF than X-T30
• X-T30 has all the latest film simulations available for X series
• X-T30II has F-Log assist (X-T30 has only F-Log)
• X-T30II has 1080p at 240fps (but pretty soft and not great quality)
• X-T30II brings lots of fairly small upgrades
• Fujifilm X-S10 bold departure from classic design strategy
• X-S10 and X-T30II are similar in size. X-S10 has a bigger grip, which lots of people like
• X-T30II has better rear screen over X-S10, however, the X-S10 screen does fully articulate
• max 8 fps for both cameras. X-T30II has better buffer hence can shoot longer bursts than X-S10 (which performs like X-T30)
• X-T30 still has that old 2.5mm jack, which means you’ll need an adapter to attach your microphone. For headphones, you have to use the USB adapter
• X-S10 has a 3.5mm mic jack (hence no adapter needed). For headphones still use USB adapter
• Overheating at 4K/24p 200mbps:
  X-S10 overheats at 44:10 minutes
  X-T30II overheats at 28:18 minutes
  Way longer video shooting with X-S10
• X-S10 has IBIS, X-T30II has not
• X-S10 is only $100 more expensive
• X-T30II has better screen and buffer
• it comes down to the styling and your preferences
• Chris prefers the X-S10
