Cameras that are a few years old may not have the latest attention-grabbing features, but opting for a slightly dated model can be a great hack for getting a good camera without spending a ton of cash. Case in point? The Fujifilm X-T30 II is a 2021 model that has now been replaced by the X-T50, but it crams some of the same specifications as the new X-M5 into a camera that’s now under $1,000 / £1,000 / AU$1,800 even when bundled with a lens.
Introduced in 2021, the Fujifilm X-T30 II was essentially a baby X-T4 with a lower price point but a more limited feature set. Now that the camera has been replaced by the X-T50, the X-T30 II is one of the most affordable Fujifilm mirrorless cameras. But, the question with any older camera model is this: is the Fujifilm X-T30 II worth buying in 2025?
