Thinking of switching system from my current M50 which was my first ever proper camera. Currently have these lenses:

Canon 15-45mm kit lens
Canon 22mm f2.0
Sigma 16mm f1.4
Sigma 30mm f1.4
Sigma 56mm f1.4

Main reason to switch:

1. I shoot occasional paid gig, but mostly is for family/personal use, i value great SOOC jpeg without much or any editing at all
2. Good native lens support of the X mount, i see alot of professional XF series of lenses from Fuji, should i ever want to go pro the options are there for me
3. The top of the line and entry level ilc share the same mount, so i can get a cheap body now, invest in lenses and get a better body later
4. M50 low light capabilities are not good beyond 1600 ISO, and the DR are not that good also
5. As you all might know, EF-M mount arent exactly doing that great with almost little to none attention given by Canon, the rumored "high end" apsc turns out to be a firmware update. Plus, theres a CR3 rumors that an apsc rf mount camera is in the works
6. I work mostly on portrait, now im looking for a 35mm eq. of 135mm lens which X mount have a few options


With all these points, which model would you recommend, the X-T30 or the X-T3? I was thinking to go for the X-T30 first and build up my lenses from there as i did with the EF-M then get a better body later, but I read reviews the X-T30 low kight capabilities aren't too good?

Thanks for the elaborate reply, which means for my needs I am better off with a X-T30 then, the X-T3 do have the feature that I want though which is the dual SD card slot, but there is no requirement for it now.

As for my current setup, well yeah I would consider it as a good setup, but the problem with the M lineup/or bodies is that none of them have good enough low light and DR capabilities to fit my usage. I can play the waiting game and wait for the fabled high end APSC M lineup but there is little to no assurance that it will ever come out. If it does, god knows what cripple hammer will Canon use here and it will probably be a one last send off from Canon to the M series so they would be able to focus on APSC RF. OTOH, Fuji X mount seems to have a better track record in this regard.

Well the plan is now then to get the X-T30, build up the lens, then get the X-T3/4 down the road. Full frame? If I ever go fulltime, will probably go to Sony.

Interesting, well I just got the X-T30 yesterday, traded in all my stuff for it. I went for the XF18-55mm f/2.8-4, and the XF90mm f/2.0.

But man, these lenses are super sharp, I am stunned.


Hey, thanks for the reply, I had just gotten the X-T30 yesterday with the lenses mentioned. This will be my setup for the time being, gonna get the X-T3 sometime late next year, until then I'm going to build up my lenses.

I was planning to get the 56mm f1.2 but now that I have the 90mm f2, i no longer have the needs for it. Next lens in mind is the 27mm f2.8 for its size and mobility (to replace my last 22mm f2).

Would you mind sharing which grip are you using?
