DPReview TV: Fujifilm X-T30 vs Sony a6400

The Fujifilm X-T30 and Sony a6400 are two of the newest, most exciting mid-range mirrorless cameras on the market, and while they may not look similar at first glance, both include impressive features and performance specs. Chris and Jordan break down the differences to see which comes out on top.

Hump and Bump got me through some tough nights.

If only I could take the features that I like from both cameras and put them all into one... behold, the Soji a-T6430. One can only dream. 😄

Both cameras are great. One cannot go wrong with either. Just buy the one you like more and don't look back. It will serve you fine.

I am learning how to talk in front of the camera from Chris. He's just amazing. Really engaging and interesting to watch!

[QuangNguyen-cqxl]

The answer is simple. The choice depends on whether you're a Fuji or Sony guy. Both are just perfect and, believe me, the more we use a camera, the less flaws we find in it, perhaps more in ourselves.

[EranSiboni]

Both are great. Had a6000 and replaced it for the Fuji - the form factor and design just makes you want to grab it more often, the film simulations are wonderful and the dials are so fun to use. My 2 cents.

Great double-review! This video was so fast and straight to the point. You guys did in 10 mins what other reviewers would take 20 mins to do.

Bought a XT30 and love it. nice form factor and the controls are right there, no digging two deep to change something simple.

[stevetag]

Life is short...buy both. One wife...many cameras.

I went wth the Fuji. I'm a beginner. I wanted a camera that was versatile and gave me room to grow. The menu is really straight forward and the dials aid my learning. Its fun to play with and encourages me to shoot. Didn't cost an arm and a leg either.

[GapBahnDirk]

Fuji. I love their jpegs and film simulations.

I was almost sold on geting a Sony a6400, but now I'm taking a hard look at the XT-30. I am at a point thwere I have to start (again) to get new glass, and used to have Canon DSLR before. Bu tI like the line up of Fuji glass (especially the small prime lenses), and the looks and control layout of the Fuji bring me back to the first 35mm film rangefinder camera I bought at a pawn shop when I first started in photography. The images on the Fuji also look great off the box, so it would make things easier, and let you concentrate on shooting, rather than having to spend a lot of time on post processing.

WIth the Sony, though the weather sealing and auto-focus are unbeatable, but ultimately, I do like the looks of the Fuji (I like teh look of teh XE-3 a bit more, but the XT-30 is pretty in the silver or black colors).

I'd go with a silver Fuji XT-30....

I Like them both but I need better AF. (SONY FOR ME)

[rdices]

Easy choice for me, I already own Fuji lens. Both cameras sound great though

[statiraprs]

Love Xt30 . The appearance of this camera takes me back to the past and Its performance takes me to the present.

[Diatonicth]

Both cameras are awesome! I already own some E-mount lenses for my a6000, so the a6400 upgrade is a no brainer for me. But if I were starting over, I wouldn't have any issues with buying the X-T30 instead.

[johngskewes]

The analog controls on the Fujifilm are fantastic. I use the camera, almost never having to go into the menus. The camera is intuitive, the quality it stellar. Sony must be a good product, but I'll keep the Fujifilm.

Few years ago, the choice between Sony a6300 and Fuji XT20 was also a difficult one, eventually I decided to take Sony because it's more video oriented and there was huge price drop for black friday. Now it would be even harder to choose between XT30 and a6400. Both are such a great cameras.

[davide]

If you are shooting things that move, it's the a6400 all day every day. That AF is astonishing.

[Nelli_morjesta]

Went with the Fuji, love how the camera handles and looks :)
