Fujifilm X-T30 II Versus X-S10: Which One Should You Choose?

Fujifilm has introduced a ton of new gear in the last couple of months, including a couple of incremental upgrades to the much-loved X-T30. How do you choose between this new X-T30 II and the X-S10?

The Fujifilm X-S10 was released almost exactly a year ago and just shy of a thousand dollars, it offers customers a lot of tech while avoiding the vintage-style dials that are typically the defining characteristic of Fujifilm’s APS-C cameras. Both feature the same 26.1-megapixel APS-C X-Trans BSI CMOS 4 sensor and as this video explores, the X-T30 II is a shade cheaper at $899.

Fujifilm fans are gearing up for more news regarding the forthcoming X-H2, set to succeed the X-H1 which was released in February 2018. Early rumors suggest that there might be two versions of this camera with very different sensors. Potentially, this will mean one camera geared towards high-resolution images, the other designed to be blisteringly fast. Another intriguing question is whether Fujifilm will stick with its distinctive X-Trans sensor for these cameras, or if it might offer one of each, taking advantage of the fine details offered by its own array while exploiting the speed and lower cost of Bayer.

Which of these cameras would be your choice? And what can we expect from the X-H2? Let us know in the comments below.
