Fujifilm X-T30 vs PENTAX K-3 Mark III

As always, JPEGs from the X-T30 look downright terrific. All of Fujifilm’s signature film simulations are included, and it’s a lot of fun testing them and seeing what works best for a given shooting scenario, whether you’re looking for more vivid colors, moody black and white shots, or something with softer tones. The company recently launched a redesigned mobile app for iOS (it’ll come to Android this summer), but I’ll just say that there’s still room for improvement in terms of speed and eliminating unnecessary steps. The Wi-Fi connection between phone and camera is stable, and sending photos over to your phone for a quick Instagram post is a great option to have

That's very important is to show a lot of detail and texture in the surface of the rock, and so i wanted to test this k3 mark iii. Just to see how wel...

Well that might make the XT 30 a worthy purchase. So I know we've been talking about a lot of features being basically the exact same as XT 3. Where d...

Now i like that, we have both. Of these i mean a lot of modern cameras are giving you one or the other, and then we also have a touch screen and you c...

The autofocus system is essentially the same as the X-T3—the X-T30 actually offers some enhancements, which are coming to the X-T3 via a firmware update. In practice, it performs quite well. It locks focus quickly, supports eye and face detection for human subjects, and can track moving targets with ease.

You can still use it with full-frame lenses; one of the strengths of the Pentax system is compatibility with autofocus lenses dating from the 1980s and manual focus optics from the '70s.

I bought the 23mm 1:1.4R and 35mm 1:1.4R lenses, and both have fairly loud autofocus mechanisms. Even when you use these lenses with manual focus, you're actually not controlling the assembly directly, it still uses the motors to focus

To have only one maker continuing to make DSLR's would be a pity for the rest, but great for Ricoh. All they need to do now is pump up the lens options. Sigma should get on board and make more of their lenses available in the Pentax mount. I've a few of their new generation lenses and they are all impressive (the 100-400mm DG f/5-6

A great camera for the money! I love the Fujifilm Film Simulations it is well known for and truly, the JPEG rendering out of camera is nearly as good as you can get with the RAW files. Very happy!

Is it worth the price tag? For me it was. I have a bunch of Pentax lenses already and I wasn't going to wait six months for the price to maybe come down to try this out. Now that I have it I won't be returning it. :)
