In reply to Rick Asher:
I bought an X-T30 as a first digital ILC after using a Fujifilm X-S1 (superzoom/bridge) for about 5 years. The T30 is an excellent camera but I chose to trade it for the T3.
For me, the main benefits of the T3 are:
1. Larger EVF. I found the T30 to be too small, particularly in bright ambient light, although it is improved by the use of an eye cup clipped into the the hot shoe.
2. Weather Resistance. You’ll have an idea about how important this is to you. I worried about melt from snow/frozen gear getting into my bag with the T30. Less concerned with the T3 and a WR lens.
3. Balance with larger lenses. I didn’t like the 55-200 with the T30, even with an added grip/base plate. It pairs very nicely with smaller primes.
There is no doubt that the X-T30 is a superb camera but I’m very glad that I switched to the T3.
The T3 has had a recent firmware update for improved AF (equivalent to the T4 apparently), not sure if this has been rolled out to the T30.
If I were looking for a non-WR body right now I would also consider the X-S10.
Hope this helps,
Phil
