Björn: I am owning an X-E1 and have designed a custom grip via Shapeways which is a bit more affordable than the one offered by Fuji and meets my taste in terms of ergonomics more accurately because it makes the cam feel a little bit more like a DSLR. You can take a look at it here!

BUG FIX: X30 Firmware Update Ver.1.01

 photo asd_zpsd998cfb5.png

X-T1 shooters will soon be able to download a complete new camera, X-E2 shooters will get some sweet new features and X-E1/X-PRO1 will get a minor update too. The discussion about it is hot in this post here.

But there is also a new X30 firmware, and I won’t miss to share this information here on Fujirumors, too. No new features, just a bug fix. You can download it here: “The phenomenon is fixed that in rare cases, AF lock can be released while pressing the shutter button halfway.”

BTW, the X30 is available for only $509 at cameraland in [shoplink 30061]silver here[/shoplink] and [shoplink 30063]in black here[/shoplink].

Sony RX100III vs Fujifilm X30 :: which one is the better camera according to Kai (digitalrev)?

Kai from digitalrev compared the the Fujifilm X30 with the Sony RX100III (see youtube). His conclusions are that “there is nothing wrong with the Fuji… it’s a decent (but fat) compact camera, it’s just that the Sony seems to be the better camera overall“.

Here just a few PRO’s he listed about each camera:

Fujifilm X30 PROS: cool looking, bigger & better EVF, feels better in the hand, manual zoom.
Sony RX100III PROS: Pocketable size, flip screen, slightly sharper, more detailed images, better dynamic range, better auto-white balance in low light, better ISO performance

Just let me add one more PRO to the Fujifilm X30… it costs $200 less than the Sony. The Fujifilm X30 is sold for $599, while the Sony RX100III costs $799.
