Fujifilm X-T30 II Black Body with XF18-55mm F2.8 Lens Kit

Hot on the heels of the Fujifilm GFX 50S II announcement, Fuji has also dropped the news that the Fujifilm X-T30 II, XF 23mm F/1.4 LM WR and XF 33mm F/1.4 LM WR are on their way! Since the first Fujifilm X-T1 launched in early 2014, Fuji has released regular updates to the lineup. The Fujifilm X-T1, X-T2, X-T3 and new flagship X-T4 have all proven popular and highly capable award-winning cameras. Alongside this flagship series, Fuji has also created the entry-level-friendly X-T10, X-T20 and X-T30 digital mirrorless camera bodies. Each has proven to be hugely popular and successful, thanks to its flagship features and affordability.

Rather than seeing an X-T40 camera, Fuji has instead opted for the Fujifilm X-T30 II. Available in black or silver, this retro-inspired mirrorless powerhouse comes feature-packed and ready to shoot. As found with past X-T10/20/30 cameras, the X-T30 II is ideal for beginner photographers wanting to experience the pure joy of photography. However, thanks to its impressive list of specs and stellar performance, it's also a tremendous enthusiast-level mirrorless camera. Alternatively, professional photographers shooting with an X-T4 should consider the Fujifilm X-T30 II as a second shooter to complement their kit.

Fujifilm XF 18-55mm f/2.8-4 R LM OIS Lens

Mixing versatility, speed, and a sleek design, the XF 18-55mm f/2.8-4 R LM OIS from FUJIFILM is a flexible 27-84mm-equivalent standard zoom for X-mount mirrorless cameras. Its bright f/2.8-4 maximum aperture range suits working in difficult lighting conditions and also helps to keep the overall and size and weight of the lens down. In regard to optics, this zoom features three aspherical elements and one extra-low dispersion element, which help to control spherical and chromatic aberrations in order to improve sharpness and clarity. A Super EBC coating also improves contrast and colour neutrality by reducing flare and ghosting when working in strong lighting conditions. Additionally, benefitting use in a variety of situations, a linear motor delivers quick and quiet autofocus performance and a five stop-effective image stabilization system minimizes the appearance of camera shake.
