In short
The Fujifilm X-T30 II supports X-Trans IV recipes like Classic Negative and Eterna. Early X-Trans IV bodies lack Clarity and other features.
Why it's the recipe body
The Fujifilm X-T30 II is an engaging camera to work with, offering the beloved DSLR-style body with updated features. The 26.1 MP X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor is at the heart of this model, bringing with it a significant jump in film-simulation flexibility. Handling is a joy, with its lightweight, compact design and intuitive controls, making it perfect for street and travel photography. The new 1.62M-dot touchscreen enhances the shooting experience, allowing for easy navigation and quick adjustments. Whether you're capturing stills or 4K video, the X-T30 II delivers stunning images and a satisfying shooting experience.
The X-T30 II, equipped with the X-Trans IV sensor, supports a variety of compelling film simulation recipes, including Classic Negative and Eterna. However, as an early X-Trans IV body, it lacks features like Clarity, Grain Size, and Colour Chrome FX Blue. Additionally, white-balance shifts cannot be saved per custom slot, so plan accordingly when configuring your settings.
The X-T30 II builds on the success of the X-T30, with improved features.
Compared to the X-T30, the X-T30 II offers a higher-resolution LCD and updated firmware.
