The New Entry Level: Fujifilm X-T30 II Not Discontinued but Soon Available only with XC Lens Kit

A couple of weeks ago a source told us that the Fujifilm X-T30 II will not be discontinued after the launch of the Fujifilm X-T50 – we reported here.

Well, we got further confirmation of this today, with an additional tidbit:

The Fujifilm X-T30 II will continue to be sold as body only and with XC kit lenses. But there won’t be any XF kit lenses available anymore with the X-T30 II (… of course after the last kits with the last XF18-55mm units are sold out).

Fujifilm considers the Fujifilm X-T50 an enthusiast camera and the new entry level is the Fujfilm X-T30II.

Fujifilm X-E5: The Truth!

Fujifilm X-E5

The Fujifilm X-E line has always lived a life at the brink of extinction.

And it is understandable, due to the rather low sales of X-E1, X-E2 and X-E3.

But not with the Fujifilm X-E4 !

Yes, also the X-E4 failed, but for the reasons we explained here, that failure is sole responsibility of Fujifilm.

The Good News
